What You'll Be Doing
No two days will look the same, and that's exactly what makes this role so compelling. One afternoon you might be guiding a patient through their first unassisted steps following a total knee replacement. The next morning, you could be fine-tuning a post-stroke rehabilitation program that restores someone's sense of self. Every session is an opportunity, and every patient is a story worth showing up for.
This is deeply hands-on, profoundly human work. You'll conduct thorough assessments, craft personalized treatment strategies, and continuously recalibrate your approach as patients evolve and progress. You'll also play a key role within a multidisciplinary team, contributing meaningfully to discharge decisions and ensuring that every transition home is safe, informed, and well-supported.
The reward? It's not abstract. It's real, visible, and it shows up every single day in the faces of the people you help.
Who We're Looking For
You know that movement is more than mechanics — it's confidence, it's freedom, it's identity. You bring not just clinical knowledge but genuine curiosity and heart to every patient encounter. You listen as well as you treat, and you understand that sometimes the biggest milestone isn't on any chart.
We're looking for a Physical Therapist who thrives in collaborative, fast-moving environments and approaches every case with both rigor and compassion. Whether you're a seasoned clinician with a specialty you're proud of or an early-career therapist hungry to grow, if evidence-based care and human connection are at the center of how you practice, we want to hear from you.
Your Career Deserves a Stage This Big

From the buzzing culinary scene and legendary live music venues to the stunning parks, greenways, and a healthcare landscape that is among the most dynamic in the entire country, Nashville has a way of making every aspect of life feel full.
Here, your professional ambitions and your personal joys don't have to compete. You'll build a career that stretches and excites you, surrounded by a city that feeds your soul just as generously as it fuels your growth. Come join a team that believes great clinicians deserve great places to live — and that you should never have to choose between the two.
