Mountain, Movement & Medicine: Join a Top Sports PT Team in Highlands Ranch
About The Position
The team at Highlands Ranch PT reflects the community it's in — clinicians who hike, bike, ski, and trail run, treating patients who do the same. That shapes everything from the cases you see to the culture you work in. Colorado's Front Range isn't just a backdrop here. It's the reason people come, the reason they stay, and the kind of place that makes the drive to work feel like the best part of living somewhere that actually fits. Epic Physical Therapy is a physical therapist-owned outpatient practice, which means clinicians have a real voice in patient care and clinic culture. Owner Ryan Palkoner brings 20 years of practice across Florida, California, and Colorado — Ironman medical staff, national lecturer on manual release techniques, and someone who has worked in enough PT environments to know exactly what good looks like. He built Epic around it. You'll join a team where mentorship is part of the job, collaboration is real, and professional growth is actively encouraged. Epic clinics consistently rank in the top tier nationally for patient outcomes, and the environment is built for clinicians who want to thrive both professionally and personally — not just fill a schedule.
