Physical Therapist (New Grads Welcome)

Orthopedic and Sports Physical Therapist

Are you tired of working within a corporate structure? Are you a new grad concerned about joining a physical therapy mill?

What if you could maintain your independence, grow as an expert clinician, and contribute to an already thriving clinic?

Summit Physical Therapy has been a trusted provider of orthopedic and sports physical therapy in the greater Summit and Short Hills area since 1988. Over the past 35 years, we’ve perfected the art of delivering top-tier patient care while offering our team a work-life balance that has kept therapists and staff with us for over 20 years. Our patients appreciate seeing the same therapist every time, knowing they will consistently receive the highest level of personalized care.

Our clinic culture is centered around physical therapists who are passionate about treating patients and becoming the best version of themselves. We offer a robust mentoring program, having successfully supported four clinicians toward board certification. We welcome new graduates who are eager to grow into expert clinicians. Our core belief is that patients deserve therapists who are always striving to improve.

We do not employ assistants, technicians, or interns to work with patients—your caseload is yours to manage. In fact, we recently invested in Prompt EMR, which has significantly reduced documentation time and introduced AI-driven tools that streamline scheduling, allowing our therapists to focus on what they do best: delivering exceptional care.

The majority of our caseload consists of weekend warriors, athletes, and general orthopedic cases. We also have therapists with specialized expertise in treating TMJ dysfunction, pelvic floor dysfunction, spine issues, dancers, and cyclists. If you have a specific area of interest, let’s talk about how we can tailor your caseload to match your passions.

As an integral part of our team, you’ll have the opportunity to:

• Build individualized treatment plans using the latest evidence-based practices.
• Become an expert in showcasing the unique value you provide to patients. Why should patients choose you when they have numerous corporate options down the street?
• Cultivate relationships with physicians, trainers, and sports teams to bridge the gap between rehab and fitness, driving new patient leads.
• Participate in both online and in-person marketing efforts to attract the patients you’re excited to treat.
• Collaborate with expert clinicians to foster a culture of growth and excellence.

Credentials:

• Valid state licensure or certification by your first day of employment.
• Successful completion of a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program from an accredited institution.
• Proficiency in physical therapy evaluation, assessment, care planning, and manual therapy.

Compensation & Benefits:

As a small but growing company, we offer substantial opportunities for professional and financial growth. Full-time employees are eligible for:

• 4% 401(k) match
• Health and dental insurance
• Paid time off (PTO) and paid holidays
• Quarterly performance bonuses
• Student loan reimbursement
• $1,000 annually for continuing education

This is a position where you can leverage your expertise to grow with our clinic and earn over $100k! We also offer a structured path for career advancement, from Staff PT to Senior PT to Clinic Manager.

We’re excited to offer this opportunity to passionate therapists who are ready to break free from the corporate grind. You didn’t spend seven years earning your doctorate to simply conduct evaluations and pass patients off to assistants. At Summit Physical Therapy, you’ll have the autonomy to work directly with your patients, ensuring that every aspect of their care is top-quality.
