Physical Therapist - Outpatient Private Practice | Clinic Director Pathway

Physical Therapist - PT-Owned Outpatient Clinic

One-on-one care model | Hands-on clinical culture | Competitive salary + up to $20,000 in transition and incentive support 

For the PT who wants outpatient care without the volume treadmill.

Innovative Physical Therapy & Sports Rehabilitation is a PT-owned outpatient practice serving Northwest Indiana through our Chesterton, Crown Point, and Valparaiso clinics. We were built around a simple belief: patients do better when their therapist has the time, autonomy, and continuity to treat the whole person, not just the diagnosis.

Our owner is still actively treating patients, and our model is intentionally hands-on and patient-centered. We do not build our care around group therapy. We focus on individualized treatment, clinical reasoning, manual therapy, movement, education, and helping patients get back to the lives they want to live.

This is a strong fit for a physical therapist who wants to practice in an outpatient setting, but does not want to feel rushed, overextended, or disconnected from patient outcomes.
