What is private physical therapy?

Private physical therapy refers to rehabilitation and treatment services provided by licensed physical therapists in a private practice setting rather than in hospitals or public clinics. Patients typically receive one-on-one care that is tailored to their individual needs, focusing on improving mobility, reducing pain, and restoring function after injuries or surgery. Private physical therapy often allows for more flexible scheduling and personalized attention, making it a popular choice for those seeking targeted rehabilitation.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a private physical therapist?

To thrive as a Private Physical Therapist, you need a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree, state licensure, and a solid understanding of human anatomy and rehabilitation techniques. Familiarity with electronic medical records (EMR) systems and specialized therapy equipment, as well as certifications in areas like orthopedic or sports therapy, are typically required. Excellent interpersonal skills, patience, and strong motivational abilities help build trust and encourage patient compliance. These competencies ensure effective individualized care, positive treatment outcomes, and satisfied clients in a competitive private practice environment.

What are some common challenges private physical therapists face when managing their own practice?

Private physical therapists often juggle both clinical care and business operations, which can be demanding. Challenges include managing administrative tasks like billing and scheduling, ensuring a steady flow of clients, and staying compliant with healthcare regulations. Additionally, therapists must continuously update their skills through professional development while also building and maintaining strong patient relationships. Successfully balancing patient care with business responsibilities is key to thriving in a private practice setting.

Private Physical Therapy refers to physical therapy services provided by individual practitioners or small practices, often offering personalized care. Physical Therapist is a broader term for licensed professionals working in various healthcare settings. While all private physical therapists are physical therapists, not all physical therapists work in private practice. The key difference lies in the work environment and practice ownership.

How much is a private physical therapist?

The cost of hiring a private physical therapist varies depending on location, experience, and session length, but typically ranges from $75 to $150 per hour. Some therapists offer package deals or sliding scale fees based on income. Insurance may cover part of the cost if the therapy is medically necessary and approved by a healthcare provider.

Job description

It's time for A New Approach to Physical Therapy...Patient care focused on Health, Wellness, and Prevention!


Tired of seeing 70 - 80 people per week?


Do you not have time to treat each individual to the best of your ability because you have 2 - 3 patients at a time?


Are you suffering from Burnout?


Do you crave a culture that values you both professionally and personally?


BEST Physical Therapy is looking for a motivated individual seeking the next phase of their career. A unique opportunity to join a clinic and actually share in the profits. We believe that by collaborating with other provider specialties and providing services at a gym, the Physical Therapist can easily communicate with other health professionals to ensure everyone is on the same page to help the patient achieve their goals while continuing the activities they love.


We are a private, physical therapist owned company that treats patients on a 1 on 1 basis; we are also in-network with all insurances.


Don't be mislead by other companies; Sign-on bonuses are designed to lock you in — often for a reason. Many other workplaces struggle with turnover and burnout, lack of support, or growth leading to turnover. At BEST, we invest in you - instead of quick fixes: we provide mentorship, career development, a culture where PTs thrive, and a robust environment where you control your success.


Patient quality of care is our number concern. This is an opportunity for financial security and growth while also allowing for schedule flexibility, something you won't find in a regular job.


  • We provide 1-on-1 treatments focusing on outpatient musculoskeletal injuries and sports performance as well as Preventative Care and Maintenance.
  • We accept all insurances, but have a pay for service component as well.
  • This is a very active population, and the gym facilities are a very stimulating environment with state of the art equipment.


Responsibilities

  • Perform comprehensive patient evaluations
  • Develop individualized, evidence-based treatment plans
  • Deliver skilled manual therapy and therapeutic exercise interventions
  • Monitor and progress patients toward functional goals
  • Educate patients on injury prevention and long-term wellness
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary providers to optimize outcomes
  • Maintain timely and accurate documentation


Qualifications

  • Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) from an accredited program
  • Active state licensure
  • Strong orthopedic and musculoskeletal clinical skills
  • Passion for performance, prevention, and wellness
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
  • Team-oriented mindset with growth ambition
  • Certifications such as dry needling, cupping, BFR, or other manual therapy specialties are a plus.


Benefits:

  • Health insurance available on start date of employment!
  • 401(k) with matching
  • Generous paid time off plus 6 major Holidays
  • Mental health days
  • Continuing education allowance and continuing education days
  • Student loan reimbursement
  • License reimbursement
  • Gym membership
  • Profit sharing of the clinic
  • Flexible schedule


Job Type: Full-time

Pay: Up to $103,000.00 per year

Work Location: In person
