Pelvic Health Physical Therapist- willing to pay for specialization.

Flexible Schedule | Per-Visit Compensation | Intimate Outpatient Setting

Physically Fit Physical Therapy (PFPT) is looking for a Pelvic Health Physical Therapist to join our intimate, patient-centered outpatient clinic.

We are looking for a clinician who wants autonomy, flexibility, professional growth, and the ability to provide high-quality care without feeling like they are working in a factory.

Our owner is a treating physical therapist herself and is actively working to create a practice where being a great PT doesn’t have to mean sacrificing your personal life.

What We’re Looking For

We are seeking a Pelvic Health PT who is interested in working morning and/or evening hours. If you don’t have the qualifications we are will to pay for a reasonable time commitment.

The schedule is flexible and can be built around the clinician.

You can start part-time and gradually build toward a full treating schedule, with a minimum target of approximately 55 visits per week for a full-time schedule.

You have a say in what your schedule looks like.

We currently offer options ranging from approximately 27 to 60 visits per week, depending on whether you want a lighter part-time schedule or a full-time caseload.

What Does the Schedule REALLY Look Like?

How many patients will I actually see?

You can choose your level of commitment.

* Minimum: approximately 30 visits/week
* Full-time: approximately 55-60visits/week
* Part-time and full-time options available
* Morning and/or evening availability
* Flexibility to build a schedule that works for you

We don’t believe every clinician needs the same schedule.

What Time Do People REALLY Leave?

When you decide to leave.

We aren’t interested in keeping clinicians in the clinic just because the clock says they should still be there.

Documentation does not have to be completed immediately after every visit. Our expectation is simply that documentation is completed by the patient’s next visit or by the end of the week — whichever comes first.

We care about good documentation.

We also care about your life outside of work.

How Much Documentation Happens at Home?

As little as possible.

Our owner is a treating PT herself, so she understands firsthand how easily physical therapy can turn into a job that follows you home.

We believe work and home life should not blend together.

That means we intentionally utilize technology, systems, and workflows designed to minimize the amount of work that follows you home.

Of course, there may occasionally be something that needs to be finished — but taking documentation home every night should not be the expectation.

What Does “Mentorship” Look Like Six Months In?

Mentorship never stops.

You will work alongside clinicians with significant experience, including:

* Two physical therapists with 13+ years of experience
* A Patient Care Coordinator who is also a PTA, former kinesiology educator, and experienced clinician
* A PTA with 10+ years of clinical experience

We don’t believe mentorship should mean someone checks in with you for three months and then disappears.

We are constantly learning from each other.

Our clinicians have different experiences, specialties, perspectives, and approaches — and we believe that makes everyone better.

Clinical education reimbursement is also available as an additional benefit.

What Is Turnover Like?

Our clinical team has been remarkably stable.

Clinicians who have worked here have not left the practice.

We have had one Patient Care Coordinator leave for personal reasons, but we remain in communication with them to this day.

Why Did the Last PT Leave?

There hasn’t been a “last PT.”

PFPT has been open for 7 years, and we have not had a clinician leave the practice.

We believe that says something about the environment we have intentionally created.

Our clinicians value:

* A flexible, non-rigid schedule
* Autonomy in how they practice
* An intimate outpatient environment
* The ability to actually get to know their patients
* Access to modern technology and treatment tools
* The opportunity to continually improve patient outcomes
* A supportive team environment
* The community we serve
* A practice where the owner is still in the trenches with you

How Does Compensation Work?

Pay is structured on a per-visit basis.

Rather than being paid strictly for your time in the building, your compensation is tied to the care you provide.

This structure gives you the opportunity to make more while working less, depending on how you structure your caseload.

Compensation and additional benefits will be discussed in greater detail during the interview.

What Other Benefits Are Offered?

Additional benefits will be discussed during the interview based on the position and schedule, including opportunities for clinical education and professional development reimbursement.

Who Will LOVE Working Here?

This position may be a great fit for someone who:

* Wants flexibility rather than a rigid 9–5 schedule
* Values autonomy
* Enjoys working in a small, close-knit team
* Wants to build meaningful relationships with patients
* Is passionate about pelvic health
* Enjoys learning from other clinicians
* Wants access to modern treatment technology
* Values work-life balance
* Wants an owner who understands what it is actually like to be a treating PT

Who Might NOT Love Working Here?

We believe in being honest about this too.

This probably isn’t the right environment for someone who:

* Doesn’t enjoy being part of a team
* Wants to work exclusively during traditional midday hours
* Isn’t comfortable working independently at times
* Needs a highly structured, rigid schedule
* Prefers a large hospital or high-volume corporate environment

We are an intimate outpatient clinic, and sometimes you may be working independently. We trust our clinicians to make decisions, manage their patients, and practice with autonomy.

The Bottom Line

We are not looking for someone to simply fill a schedule.

We’re looking for a Pelvic Health PT who wants to build a career in a practice that is intentionally designed around both patient care and clinician quality of life.

Our owner is still treating patients, still learning, and still actively looking for ways to make being a physical therapist more sustainable, more fulfilling, and less exhausting.

If you’re looking for a place where you can practice autonomously, keep learning, have flexibility, and still have a life outside of physical therapy, we’d love to meet you.

🤸‍♀️ Not every injury can be prevented… but many can.

Some injuries are purely accidental—a bad landing, an awkward collision, or simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time. But many injuries happen because the body wasn’t prepared to handle the demands of the sport.

Gymnastics requires incredible strength, stability, power, endurance, and body control. Training skills alone isn’t enough. Your body also needs a strong foundation to absorb force, control movement, and maintain proper form—even when you’re tired.

💪 Strength training helps you generate and absorb force.
⚖️ Stability training helps you control your body during landings and transitions.
🔥 Endurance training helps you maintain good mechanics from the first routine to the last.

The key? Train your muscles the way they’ll actually be used during gymnastics. Sport-specific training builds resilience, improves performance, and if an injury does happen, it often helps you recover faster.

🤸‍♀️ Don’t just practice your sport—prepare your body for it.

Go to see a PT if you want to move better, perform better, and stay in the sport you love. ❤️

✨ If you’ve ever said, “Physical therapy just isn’t for me,” I want you to know… you probably just haven’t found the right PT yet. 💙

Physical therapy shouldn’t feel like you show up, get a printout of exercises, and get ignored for an hour. 🙅🏽‍♀️

Here’s what I’d look for when choosing a physical therapist:

💡 1. Find a PT who actually knows what they’re doing.
Someone who takes the time to figure out why you’re hurting—not just where it hurts.

🏋🏽 2. They don’t just give you exercises and walk away.
Your form matters! A great PT is coaching you, making adjustments, answering questions, and making sure you’re doing each movement the right way.

🙌🏽 3. They guide you through the entire process.
Recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all. Your plan should change as you improve, and your PT should be there every step of the way.

🤲🏽 4. They use their hands.
Hands-on treatment isn’t everything, but when it’s appropriate, it can help reduce pain, improve mobility, and get your body moving the way it’s supposed to.

❤️ 5. They connect with you.
You should feel heard, supported, and comfortable asking questions. The best results happen when you and your PT work as a team.

At the end of the day, you deserve care that’s personalized—not rushed. If your experience hasn’t felt that way, don’t give up on physical therapy… find the right therapist.

Go to see a PT—it could change your life. 💪✨

☕️ That morning coffee (or energy drink) could be affecting more than just your energy… it could impact your bones. 🦴

Did you know that female bone strength and peak bone mass are typically reached between ages 25-30, with 90-95% of adult bone mass already built by age 20? That means the teenage years and early adulthood are some of the most important years for building strong, healthy bones.

👧 Parents, this is especially important for your daughters!

It is recommended that teens ages 12-18 keep caffeine intake below 100 mg per day—that’s about 1 regular cup of coffee or 2 cans of soda. ☕🥤

Why? 🤔

Too much caffeine can slightly reduce calcium absorption and increase calcium loss, making it harder to build the strong bones your body needs. To help support healthy bone development, female teenagers should aim for 1,300 mg of calcium every day. 🥛🧀🥬

Women are at a higher risk of developing osteoporosis later in life because they naturally have smaller bones than men, and bone loss accelerates after menopause due to declining estrogen levels. 📉 Building the strongest bones possible while you’re young is one of the best investments you can make for your future health.

💪 Strong bones today = greater independence and fewer fractures tomorrow.

Go to see a PT if you have concerns about bone health, posture, exercise, or want guidance on the best activities to build and maintain healthy bones!

🎬 Had the opportunity to work with Actor Don Brumfield Jr., known for starring in the popular reality TV show Black Ink Crew: Chicago and numerous other film projects. 💪🎥

While I can’t say too much about his specific condition to respect his privacy, I can say this: I could’ve easily worked on this shoulder for a few more hours! 😅

One movement we spent time addressing was shoulder external rotation—the motion of rotating your arm away from your body. This movement is incredibly important for reaching overhead, throwing, lifting, grooming, getting dressed, and maintaining healthy shoulder mechanics. 🦾

When external rotation remains painful or limited long term, it can contribute to stiffness, weakness, altered movement patterns, difficulty performing daily activities, and increased stress on surrounding structures. 🚫

If you have painful and limited external rotation, it may be associated with issues such as rotator cuff dysfunction, shoulder stiffness, joint irritation, mobility restrictions, or other shoulder conditions. That doesn’t mean any one diagnosis is present, but it does mean your shoulder deserves a proper evaluation. ✅

The sooner you identify the cause, the sooner you can work toward restoring mobility, strength, and function. 👊

🏋️‍♂️ Great movement starts with finding the why behind the limitation. 👇

This athlete came in with knee pain during squats, and one of the first things I measured was his ankle dorsiflexion (your ability to bring your toes toward your nose 👣). It may seem unrelated to the knee, but limited ankle mobility can completely change the way you squat.

📏 His dorsiflexion measured -2° initially, meaning he lacked the mobility needed for proper squat mechanics. After soft tissue mobilization 💆‍♂️ and targeted stretching 🦵, we improved it to +6° in the same session—a significant change that immediately allowed him to move more efficiently.

But mobility is only part of the equation. 💡

The rest of his program focused on improving stability throughout the entire lower extremity. 💪 You’ll see exercises targeting the hips, knees, and ankles to improve control, alignment, and force production. Better stability means the body can actually use that new mobility, helping keep the knees in a stronger, more stable position throughout the squat. ✅

The result? 🎯
✔️ Better squat mechanics
✔️ Improved depth
✔️ Less stress on the knees
✔️ A stronger foundation for lifting heavier
✔️ Better athletic performance 🏃‍♂️💨

Remember, pain isn’t always where the problem starts. 🚨 Assessing the entire movement pattern is what leads to lasting results. Finding the root cause—not just treating the symptoms—is what helps athletes move better, perform better, and stay in the game longer. 🏆

🏋️‍♂️ Squats shouldn’t hurt your knees—and if they do, it may be less about the squat itself and more about how you’re moving.

This young athlete came in with knee pain every time he squatted. After taking a closer look, it was clear his form had some major compensations:
➡️ His knees traveled far over his toes, increasing stress on the front of the knee.
➡️ His heels lifted off the ground because of limited calf (ankle) mobility, forcing his body to find motion somewhere else.
➡️ His knees collapsed inward (genu valgus), largely due to poor hip and knee stability, placing extra strain on the knee joint and surrounding tissues.

These movement patterns can overload the knees over time, leading to pain and limiting athletic performance.

Instead of simply telling him to “keep your knees out,” we addressed why it was happening. By improving calf flexibility, restoring ankle mobility, and building strength and stability through the hips and knees, his squat mechanics improved dramatically.

Now he’s able to:
✅ Keep his heels planted.
✅ Maintain a more aligned and stable knee position.
✅ Keep his knees from drifting excessively over his toes.
✅ Squat deeper with better control and less pain.

The next step? Improving how upright he can keep his torso during the squat to make the movement even more efficient.

These improvements don’t just help reduce pain—they can have a huge impact on athletic performance. Better mobility and stability create a stronger, more efficient foundation for producing force, allowing athletes to lift more weight safely and generate more power. Small improvements in movement quality often translate into big improvements in performance.

If you want longevity in your sport, pay attention to the little things. The best athletes aren’t just strong—they move well. Optimizing movement mechanics helps reduce unnecessary wear and tear, keeps you performing at a high level, and gives you the best chance to enjoy a long, successful athletic career.

The best movement is efficient movement—and fixing the cause beats treating the symptom every time.

💪 These are some of my favorite exercises to prescribe—but it’s not just what you do… it’s how you do it that makes the difference. 👇

✅ Abdominal Isometrics – Build deep core stability without unnecessary movement. Learning to brace correctly helps protect your spine during everyday activities.

✅ Planks from the Knees – Starting from the knees lets you maintain a neutral spine and engage your core the right way instead of compensating through your low back. Quality always beats difficulty.

✅ Clam Shells with Hip Extension – Adding hip extension recruits the glutes even more, improving hip stability instead of just going through the motions.

✅ Quarter Bridges – Stopping at a quarter bridge shifts the work toward the hamstrings instead of letting the glutes take over. Great for restoring proper muscle activation.

✅ Triple Threats – One of my favorite hamstring exercises because they challenge strength, control, and stability all at once. The slower and more controlled, the better.

✅ Calf Stretch – A simple stretch that can improve ankle mobility, walking mechanics, squatting, balance, and even reduce unnecessary stress up the kinetic chain.

Remember: the best exercise is the one performed with the right technique for your body. Small changes in form can completely change which muscles you’re targeting and how effective the exercise is. 👊

⚡️Low back pain and/or pain that shoots into your butt, thigh, or even down your leg? That may be radicular pain—pain caused by irritation or compression of a nerve as it leaves your spine. It’s often described as burning, tingling, numbness, or an electric shock sensation. ⚡️

Physical Therapy doesn’t just treat the symptoms—we work to find and address the underlying cause through movement assessment, targeted exercises, manual therapy, and education to reduce stress on the irritated nerve and improve function. 💪

In this video, I’m using focused shockwave therapy as an adjunct to treatment. Shockwave may help reduce pain, improve blood flow, decrease muscle guarding, and stimulate the body’s natural healing response in the surrounding tissues. When paired with the right PT plan, it can help patients move more comfortably and get back to doing what they love. 🙌

This patient noticed an improvement after just one session 🎉, but that’s not the norm for everyone. Most people benefit from a series of treatments based on their condition, symptoms, and goals.

Pain isn’t always the problem—sometimes it’s the irritated nerve telling you something needs attention.
