Overview
Imagine starting your morning knowing that by the end of the day, you'll have helped someone reclaim what they thought was lost — the ability to walk down a hallway, lift their arms above their head, or simply stand without fear. That's the quiet, profound power of a great Physical Therapist. And when that work happens in a city as electric and alive as Austin, Texas, the experience takes on an entirely new dimension.
We are actively seeking a driven, compassionate, and clinically sharp Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) to join a team that is as invested in your growth as it is in patient outcomes. Austin is the kind of place that amplifies everything — creativity, ambition, community, and quality of life — and we think your career deserves that same energy.
Description
- Perform comprehensive patient evaluations across inpatient or outpatient settings and develop individualized, goal-driven treatment plans
- Deliver hands-on physical therapy interventions targeting strength, mobility, balance, pain management, and functional restoration
- Work in close partnership with physicians, nursing staff, case managers, and interdisciplinary rehab colleagues to drive optimal patient outcomes
- Guide patients and their families through therapeutic goals, home exercise programming, and safe discharge transitions
- Maintain thorough, timely clinical documentation consistent with facility protocols and regulatory standards
- Actively participate in care team huddles and interdisciplinary conferences to ensure seamless, coordinated care delivery
Education
- Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT) or an equivalent degree from an accredited institution
Certifications
- Active state licensure as a Physical Therapist in good standing
- CPR certification preferred
- Specialized credentials in areas such as neurology, geriatrics, or orthopedics are welcomed but not required
Skills
- Prior clinical experience strongly preferred
- Proven ability to manage patients presenting with complex medical histories and mobility challenges
- Outstanding interpersonal communication and a natural ability to collaborate across disciplines
- Confidence navigating electronic health records and digital documentation platforms
Benefits
- A highly competitive compensation package reflective of your expertise
- Full benefits suite covering medical, dental, and vision insurance
- Continuing education support and professional licensure reimbursement
- Generous paid time off with flexible scheduling options
- A team-first culture with genuine pathways for clinical advancement
What You'll Be Doing
No two days will look the same, and that's exactly what makes this role so rewarding. One morning you may be working with a post-surgical patient taking their first cautious steps, and by afternoon you're designing a progressive strength protocol for someone reclaiming independence after a neurological event. The work is layered, demanding, and deeply fulfilling.
You'll operate at the intersection of clinical science and human empathy — assessing each patient's unique situation, building targeted intervention plans, and continuously refining your approach as recovery unfolds. You'll also play a central role in preparing patients for safe, confident transitions back to their homes and lives.
This is the kind of work where your presence carries weight, your expertise shapes outcomes, and your compassion is felt long after the session ends.
Who We're Looking For
You don't just see a diagnosis — you see a person with goals, fears, and a life they're trying to get back to. You believe that movement is one of the most powerful medicines available, and you bring that conviction into every session.
We're looking for a Physical Therapist who combines clinical rigor with genuine warmth, someone who thrives in a multidisciplinary environment and brings out the best in the patients and colleagues around them. Whether you're a seasoned clinician or a newer graduate hungry to grow, if evidence-based practice and human-centered care define your approach, this team was built for you.
