PhysioWorks • Kent, WA

19d • $90,000 - $115,000

About The Position

PhysioWorks is a growing therapist-focused practice serving Kent and Silverdale, Washington. Our mission is centered on optimizing function for injured workers and helping people return to work, support themselves, and care for their families. We provide Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Hand Therapy, Functional Capacity Evaluations, Work Conditioning, Work Hardening, ergonomic services, and other work-injury-related rehabilitation services. Our team values integrity, consistency, collaboration, expertise, and empowerment in the care we provide and in the way we work together.

We are seeking a motivated, compassionate, and clinically strong Physical Therapist to join our team full-time and help support care delivery across both our Kent and Silverdale offices. This is an excellent opportunity for a therapist who enjoys orthopedics, wants to develop expertise in occupational medicine and work rehabilitation, and values being part of a collaborative multidisciplinary team.

At PhysioWorks, you will have the opportunity to do meaningful work in an environment that supports growth and professional development. Our practice is especially well suited for therapists who want more than traditional outpatient orthopedics and who are interested in learning advanced industrial rehabilitation concepts.

The Physical Therapist is responsible for evaluating patients, establishing individualized plans of care, delivering evidence-based treatment, supervising support personnel as appropriate, and documenting progress accurately and efficiently. This therapist will help treat a mixed caseload with an emphasis on general orthopedic and work-related injuries, while also supporting return-to-work goals and communicating with referral sources and other stakeholders when needed.

This position is intended to support both the Kent and Silverdale clinics, and some travel between locations may be required based on patient volume, staffing needs, and clinic operations.

This role includes treatment of a diverse outpatient population with emphasis on:

General orthopedics
Work-related injuries
Workers’ compensation cases
Post-surgical rehabilitation
Functional restoration and return-to-work care
Work conditioning and related industrial rehabilitation services
Typical caseload expectations are approximately 10-12 patients per day, with one-hour treatment sessions designed to support quality care and strong clinical reasoning.

PhysioWorks strives to create a positive, respectful, and growth-oriented workplace. Team members are expected to demonstrate professionalism, punctuality, strong communication, and a commitment to patient care and confidentiality. The Practice also emphasizes ongoing education, collaboration, safety, and ethical conduct.
