Next Level Physio • Woodcliff Lake, NJ

1d • Hybrid

About The Position

Next Level Physio exists to help driven athletes keep playing the sports they love, for life. We specialize in runners and lifelong athletes over 30 who refuse to “age out” of their sport. We find what is holding them back, build a custom plan, and guide them through it so they can do more than they thought they could. We’re a hybrid rehab–fitness practice with two North Jersey locations: Woodcliff Lake and Montclair. This is a low volume, high touch, performance-based role.

Requirements

• Licensed DPT in New Jersey
• 3+ years of outpatient experience
• Dry needling certified in NJ (or actively working toward it within a defined timeframe)
• Real interest and/or experience working with runners and lifelong athletes
• Prefer one-on-one care, 60-minute visits, and time to think, coach, and program
• Comfortable being a visible part of the local fitness/runner community
• Understand that ethical sales = helping people make the best decision for their long-term health
• Okay being on camera for educational content and social media

Responsibilities

• Run 60-minute, one-on-one evaluations and follow-ups (1 client per hour, no double-booking)
• Design and progress integrated rehab + performance programs for runners and lifelong athletes
• Track objective outcomes and adjust plans based on the data
• Collaborate with a team that cares about “best result,” not “fastest churn”
• Act as a brand ambassador in the local community – at the gym, run club, races, and community events
• Invite people who clearly need what we do in for an assessment
• Be responsible for booking 1–2 new assessments per week directly from your community relationships
• Lead or support workshops, run groups, and content that position you as the “go-to” PT for runners and athletes

Benefits

• Competitive base salary
• Tiered, revenue-based productivity bonus
• Behavior bonuses for 5-star reviews, workshops, and referrals/assessments
• 15 days PTO
• Medical, dental, and vision
• 401(k)
