Physical Therapist - Practice Owner within a Clinic Space

Prava Therapy • Hickory, NC

1d • Onsite

About The Position

Prava Therapy is seeking a Physical Therapist to build and lead an independent outpatient physical therapy practice in Hickory, North Carolina. The position offers a fully funded and furnished clinic space located next door to a podiatrist. The practice owner sets their schedule, determines the clinic’s clinical direction, and develops a caseload aligned with their interests.

The owner retains the clinic name, website, and domain and builds value in the practice’s identity. They have final say on evaluations, plans of care, visit frequency, and discharge; business goals do not override medical necessity. Prava provides the clinic space and treatment equipment and handles payer contracting, credentialing, billing, collections, EHR, and patient intake, with AI-driven tools intended to reduce documentation time. Prava also provides marketing and referral-development support and a dedicated business strategist. The practice owner can hire, mentor, and lead PTs and PTAs.

Compensation is described as $200K+ a year as the clinic matures. The work is in person in Hickory, North Carolina.
