About The Position

We believe the most important thing about life is how we move through it. We are an employee-owned company and a recipient of the APTA’s Jayne L. Snyder Private Practice of the Year Award. Many of our Physical Therapists are board-certified specialists or specialty trained in orthopedics, geriatrics, sports, vestibular, and hand therapy. We see ourselves as an extension of the physicians in our communities and are always looking for ways to better support their services. Throughout the year, each of the clinics provide time, energy, and proceeds to local causes and events such as the MS Walk, the Heart Walk, Go Red for Women, START!, Miracle Miles for Kids and many more. Our team also finds great pleasure in sponsoring local athletic teams and organizations, and providing community lectures and free backpack screenings for kids in all clinics. We are proud to be an equal opportunity workplace.
