Full Job Description
$80,000 - $100,000 + uncapped performance bonus + student loan assistance until paid off.

If you're a PT who wants to actually practice, not chase productivity numbers, Highbar was built for you. Here's what sets this role apart:
  • Patient volume: Under 12 patients per day - lower than industry norms
  • Visit structure: 1:1 patient care, always
  • Documentation: AI-supported + Prompt EMR to eliminate after-hours charting
  • Student loans: We pay them down until they're gone
  • Professional development: $15,000+ invested in your first 18 - 24 months
  • Schedules: Predictable and thoughtfully built
  • Autonomy: You decide the plan of care with PT-led clinical decisions
  • Support staff: Exercise Specialists on the floor, so you can focus on being a clinician
  • Leadership: Direct access to PT leaders who have been in your shoes


What Your Day Actually Looks Like at Highbar:

We believe clarity builds trust. If something starts to creep toward burnout, leadership intervenes early. That's part of the job design, not an afterthought.

Mentorship and Professional Development:

Highbar is a teaching practice by design. Professional development is part of your workweek, not something you squeeze in to meet your CEU requirements:
  • 2 paid mentorship hours/week for your first 12 weeks
  • Structured onboarding with a Clinic Director + Peer Mentor
  • Monthly Skillz meetings (onsite CE, every month)
  • Core-4 Series to align clinical decision-making and PATTOTL principles
  • In-house Orthopedic Residency, Dry Needling (Level I and II), and COMT pathways
  • Specialty SIGs (Pelvic Health, Sports, Neuro, Vestibular, Pediatrics, and more)


We invest $15,000+ in your professional development in your first 18 - 24 months!

What You'll Need:
  • Degree in Physical Therapy from a CAPTE-accredited program
  • Active PT license (or eligibility to obtain one)
  • A desire to grow clinically, contribute to a team, and practice thoughtfully


Why PTs Who've Tried Other Clinics Choose Highbar

Most PTs come to Highbar after experiencing the burnout, high patient loads, and top-down management that's common across the industry. Here, they stay because the difference is real, not just a recruiting pitch.

Our clinicians regularly tell us the same things: they finally feel like professionals again. They have time to think, time to document, and time to actually invest in each patient. Schedules don't spiral. Leadership listens. And when life gets hard, the practice bends, not the clinician.

$80,000 - $100,000 a year

Salary based on experience.

What's in your total package:
  • $80,000 - $100,000 base salary + uncapped performance bonus
  • Student loan assistance - we keep paying until your loans are gone
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k)
  • Exclusive H-Shares (equity-like participation)
  • Paid holidays and PTO
  • Relocation assistance (where applicable)
  • Fitness and wellness benefits
  • Employee home-buying assistance
  • Community volunteer opportunities


We don't use perks as a distraction from unsustainable workloads. Every item above is designed to support your financial security and long-term well-being, because a clinician who feels taken care of delivers better care.

Still on the fence? That's okay.

We know PT job descriptions often overpromise. So we encourage you to do your research, ask hard questions, and talk to current Highbar clinicians before you decide. The application process is a two-way conversation. We want you to be sure it's the right fit, too.
