Why You’ll Love It Here

• 5–7 patients/day, 60-minute sessions — time to think, treat, and connect

• Build Community: workshops, community shockwave demos, referral relationships

• Documentation: Accurate, timely notes in EMR

You Might Be a Fit If…

• You’re ortho-confident and excited to blend manual therapy with innovative tools

• You value a slower pace and deep relationships over volume

• You’re a self-starter who enjoys leading a small team and improving systems

• Pelvic health curiosity is a plus, but not required (we’ll train)

• New grads with strong leadership instincts are encouraged to apply

Qualifications

• Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) and Iowa PT license (or eligibility) — Required

• Strong orthopedic foundation; comfort with one-on-one, 60-minute treatments
