Physical Therapist - New Graduates Welcome!

Build Stronger Clinical Skills With Real Mentorship, Orthopedic Experience, and Room to Grow

You became a Physical Therapist to evaluate movement, solve clinical problems, and help people return to the activities that matter to them.

At King Physical Therapy & Fitness, you will build those skills in an outpatient orthopedic and sports environment alongside experienced Physical Therapists who value clinical reasoning, hands-on treatment, progressive exercise, and individualized patient care.

You will treat a diverse orthopedic caseload, develop individualized plans of care, and help patients progress from pain and limitation back to work, sport, fitness, and everyday activity.

If you are a new graduate, you will receive structured mentorship, hands-on clinical guidance, and a gradual caseload ramp-up.

If you are an experienced Physical Therapist, you will have clinical autonomy, collaboration with advanced clinicians, and opportunities to mentor others and move into leadership as the practice grows.

This is an opportunity to become a stronger orthopedic Physical Therapist while building a career with a team invested in your continued development.
