About The Position

Aquacare and Fitness Forum Physical Therapy is hiring a Physical Therapist for its Berlin, Maryland outpatient clinic. The physical-therapist-owned practice has operated independently for more than 27 years and has 12 clinics across Maryland and Delaware. The role offers a general outpatient orthopedic caseload with varied ages and diagnoses, treating fewer than 11 patients per day in one-on-one sessions for the full session. The position is available full-time or part-time, with four-day or five-day workweeks and input into setting work hours. Clinicians treat patients as well as evaluate them. Approximately 30 minutes of scheduled non-treatment time is built into each day, and documentation is completed in Prompt EMR with AI-assisted notes. The clinic team includes 6–8 therapists and additional physical therapist assistants and technicians. Therapy pools are on-site or nearby in the community. The practice supports specialty development in areas including orthopedics, manual therapy, pain science, dry needling, pelvic floor, lymphedema, aquatic therapy, balance and vestibular therapy, neurologic rehabilitation, dance rehabilitation, and sports rehabilitation. New graduates begin with a reduced caseload that builds over their first three months, weekly one-on-ones with the clinic director, a named mentor, scheduled weekly meetings, and case review with clinical leadership during their first year. Clinicians can pursue paid certifications, an orthopedic residency, clinical instructor work, and future leadership or specialty-program opportunities. The listed base salary is $82,000–$100,000 depending on experience, with bonuses of up to $12,500. The role also includes continuing education support, license renewal reimbursement, paid time off and holidays, retirement matching, insurance coverage, and student loan assistance.
