Overview
Imagine starting your morning knowing that by the end of the day, someone will stand a little taller, move a little easier, or go home stronger than they arrived. That is the quiet, profound power of a career in physical therapy — and it is exactly what awaits you here. As a Physical Therapist, you are not simply treating bodies. You are restoring confidence, rebuilding lives, and walking alongside people through some of their most challenging chapters.
We are actively seeking a dedicated and compassionate Physical Therapist (DPT) to join our team in Indianapolis, Indiana — a city that pulses with energy, community pride, and an unmistakable spirit of possibility. Whether you are drawn by the promise of meaningful clinical work, a thriving urban lifestyle, or both, Indianapolis has a way of feeling less like a destination and more like a homecoming.
Description
- Conduct thorough evaluations in inpatient or outpatient settings and build individualized, goal-oriented treatment plans
- Deliver evidence-based physical therapy interventions targeting mobility, functional strength, balance, and overall independence
- Work alongside physicians, nursing staff, case managers, and fellow rehabilitation professionals to drive optimal patient outcomes
- Guide patients and their loved ones through therapeutic goals, home exercise programs, and discharge planning
- Maintain accurate, timely documentation of assessments, treatments, and patient progress in alignment with facility and regulatory standards
- Engage actively in interdisciplinary rounds and care conferences to ensure a unified, patient-first approach
Education
- Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT) or equivalent degree from an accredited institution
Certifications
- Active state licensure as a Physical Therapist in Indiana
- CPR certification preferred
- Specialty certifications in areas such as neurology or geriatrics are welcomed, though not required
Skills
- Prior clinical experience is strongly preferred
- Demonstrated ability to manage patients with complex medical histories and mobility challenges
- Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills with a natural ability to build patient trust
- Proficiency with electronic health records and digital documentation platforms
Benefits
- Highly competitive compensation with a generous salary range
- Full benefits package including medical, dental, and vision coverage
- Continuing education allowances and licensure fee reimbursement
- Paid time off alongside flexible scheduling options
- A supportive, team-first culture with real pathways for clinical growth and advancement
What You Will Be Doing
No two days on this team look exactly alike, and that is precisely what makes the work so rewarding. One morning you might be guiding a post-surgical patient through their first unassisted steps. By afternoon, you could be crafting an adaptive home exercise program for someone navigating the long road of neurological recovery. The variety keeps you sharp — and the impact keeps you grounded.
This is high-touch, high-meaning clinical work. You will assess patient needs with precision, implement creative and targeted treatment strategies, and continuously refine your approach as your patients evolve. You will also play a key role in coordinating safe and effective transitions from facility to home, ensuring that the progress made in your care continues long after discharge.
At the intersection of science and compassion, this role asks a great deal of you — and gives back even more.
Who We Are Looking For
You are someone who sees a patient and sees a person. You understand instinctively that recovery is not linear, that encouragement is part of the treatment plan, and that celebrating a small win can fuel the momentum for a much larger one.
We are searching for a Physical Therapist who combines clinical expertise with genuine human warmth — someone energized by collaboration, committed to evidence-based practice, and ready to bring their whole self to the work. Whether you are stepping into one of your first roles or arriving with years of specialized experience, if you are passionate about helping people reclaim their independence, you belong here.
Build Something Meaningful in the Heart of Indianapolis
Indianapolis is a city that tends to surprise people. Behind its nationally recognized sports culture and celebrated culinary scene lies a deeply community-rooted, genuinely livable city — one where cost of living remains accessible, neighborhoods feel human-scaled, and a robust arts and outdoor culture gives every weekend real texture. The Monon Trail, the Cultural Trail, White River State Park, and a restaurant scene that has earned serious national attention all make life outside the clinic something to look forward to.
And inside the clinic, you will find a team that is equally worth showing up for. We invest in our clinicians — in their education, their growth, and their wellbeing — because we believe that when our therapists thrive, our patients do too.
This is more than a position. It is an opportunity to plant roots, sharpen your craft, and do work that echoes far beyond the walls of any treatment room. Come move people forward — and let Indianapolis move you.
