An ideal candidate is someone who:

• Has strong hands-on skills and enjoys manual therapy (or is eager to develop them through mentorship).
• Values connection and education as much as clinical results.
• Enjoys working in a collaborative team where feedback, growth, and learning are encouraged.
• Is excited to be part of a tight-knit, positive culture - not a high-volume clinic.
• Brings energy, professionalism, and curiosity to every session.

Responsibilities

• Maintain accurate and timely documentation and billing.

  • Initiative - Take ownership and act with purpose.
  • Vibrant Enthusiasm - Bring energy and positivity every day.
  • Empathy & Team Focus - Care deeply for your teammates and patients.
  • Resilient Confidence - Face challenges with a solutions-first mindset.

Requirements

• California PT license (or PTLA status).
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
• Passion for helping people stay active for life — not just recover.
• Interest in wellness and injury-prevention care is a plus.

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive hourly pay ($40–$55/hour, depending on experience).
• Flexible schedule (part-time, 20–25 hours/week).
• Sick Pay (in accordance with State and City law).
• Free gym membership with one of our many gym partners.
