Whether you are a new graduate Physical Therapist building confidence or an experienced PT looking for more autonomy, variety, and professional growth, you will have the support and flexibility to build a long-term outpatient Physical Therapy career here.

Why Physical Therapists Choose Excel Physical Therapy

Use Your Clinical Judgment

You will be trusted to practice as a Physical Therapist, not simply follow a scripted treatment approach.

You will have the autonomy to:

  • Perform comprehensive Physical Therapy evaluations
  • Identify movement impairments and functional limitations
  • Develop individualized plans of care
  • Select evidence-based treatment strategies
  • Progress treatment based on patient response
  • Use manual therapy and advanced techniques when clinically appropriate
  • Educate patients throughout recovery
  • Guide patients from evaluation through discharge
  • Make meaningful clinical decisions without being micromanaged

Your clinical judgment matters here.

Treat a Diverse Outpatient Caseload

You will have the opportunity to build experience across a broad range of Physical Therapy diagnoses rather than being limited to one type of patient.

Your caseload may include:

  • Orthopedic injuries
  • Sports-related conditions
  • Post-surgical rehabilitation
  • Vestibular conditions
  • Concussion rehabilitation
  • Spine and joint conditions
  • Balance and mobility limitations
  • Return-to-work rehabilitation
  • Return-to-sport and exercise goals

This variety gives you the opportunity to become a more confident and well-rounded Physical Therapist while continuing to develop your clinical interests.

Keep Expanding Your Physical Therapy Skills

Excel Physical Therapy supports continued learning and gives therapists access to multiple treatment approaches and clinical resources.

Depending on your patient's presentation and your clinical judgment, treatment may include:

  • Therapeutic exercise
  • Functional movement training
  • Manual therapy
  • Spinal manipulation
  • Vestibular rehabilitation
  • Concussion rehabilitation
  • Cupping
  • Laser therapy
  • Stem Wave Therapy
  • Evidence-based strength and movement progressions

You will have opportunities to refine the skills you already have while continuing to develop new areas of expertise.

Spend Less Time on Documentation

Documentation should support your care, not take over your day.

Excel Physical Therapy uses an AI-supported EMR designed to improve efficiency and reduce the amount of time Physical Therapists spend completing documentation.

That means more focus on patient care and a more manageable daily workflow.

Support for New Graduate Physical Therapists

New graduate Physical Therapists are encouraged to apply.

You will receive structured support while developing the clinical confidence and independence needed to become a strong outpatient Physical Therapist.

Support includes:

  • Structured mentorship
  • Clinical guidance from experienced providers
  • Real-time feedback
  • Support developing clinical reasoning
  • Exposure to a diverse patient population
  • Guidance with more complex cases
  • Opportunities to practice advanced techniques
  • Support building confidence and independence

You will have room to learn, ask questions, and grow without being expected to figure everything out on your own.

Growth for Experienced Physical Therapists

If you already have outpatient Physical Therapy experience, you will have the freedom to use the skills you have built while continuing to advance your career.

You will have access to:

  • Meaningful clinical autonomy
  • A diverse outpatient patient population
  • Advanced treatment resources
  • Collaboration with experienced clinicians
  • Opportunities to develop specialty interests
  • Continuing education support
  • Flexible scheduling
  • Long-term professional growth

This is an opportunity to keep practicing clinically while building greater expertise, independence, and professional satisfaction.

A Schedule Built With More Flexibility

You can choose the schedule structure that works best for your lifestyle and working style.

Schedule options include:

  • Four 10-hour workdays
  • Five 8-hour workdays

You can maintain a consistent full-time Physical Therapy schedule while creating more flexibility outside of work.

What You Will Do

As a Physical Therapist, you will:

  • Perform comprehensive Physical Therapy evaluations
  • Identify movement impairments and functional limitations
  • Develop individualized plans of care
  • Deliver evidence-based Physical Therapy treatment
  • Use manual therapy and advanced techniques when appropriate
  • Progress patients through strength, mobility, and functional activities
  • Monitor outcomes and adjust treatment plans
  • Educate patients about recovery and long-term self-management
  • Support return to work, exercise, athletics, and daily activities
  • Maintain accurate and timely documentation
  • Collaborate with clinicians and support staff
  • Build strong relationships with patients
  • Contribute to a positive and collaborative clinic culture

What We Are Looking For

  • Licensed Physical Therapist or eligible for California Physical Therapy licensure
  • Doctor of Physical Therapy degree or equivalent Physical Therapy degree
  • Commitment to evidence-based, patient-centered care
  • Strong communication and relationship-building skills
  • Desire to continue learning and developing professionally
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively
  • Team-oriented approach
  • Commitment to meaningful patient outcomes
  • Interest in contributing to a positive clinic culture
  • New graduate and experienced Physical Therapists are encouraged to apply
