Staff Physical Therapist--Gurnee

We are seeking a motivated, compassionate, and skilled Physical Therapist to join our growing team. In this role, you will play a vital role in our mission by delivering evidence-based physical therapy services to a diverse patient population with a range of orthopedic conditions. Our patient base primarily includes working-age individuals—from young adults through their late 60s and early 70s—many of whom qualify for Medicaid but lack employer-sponsored coverage.

While we also care for teens, children (ages 9+), and older adults, these populations are seen less frequently. This is an opportunity to make a tangible difference in the lives of our patients and to grow professionally within a supportive and forward-thinking organization.

• Develop and implement individualized, evidence-based treatment plans in collaboration with physicians.
• Utilize a wide range of therapeutic techniques, including therapeutic exercises, manual therapy (Graston, Dry Needling, MDT, Mulligan), and modalities to reduce pain and improve function.
• Educate patients on their conditions, treatment goals, and injury prevention strategies to support long-term recovery.
• Document treatment progress accurately using Epic Hyperspace, our integrated EMR system.
• Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to deliver seamless, patient-centered care.
• Supervise a dedicated 1:1 Physical Therapist to PTA ratio, ensuring continuity of care.
• Pursue continuing education and professional development in advanced PT techniques, including upcoming services like Blood Flow Restriction Therapy.

• Valid Physical Therapist license in the state of Illinois
• Graduation from an accredited Physical Therapy program (DPT preferred)

• 2+ years of experience in orthopedic settings
• Board certification in Orthopedics or Sports Medicine
• Experience working with athletes and/or post-surgical patients
• Proficiency with Epic Hyperspace EMR
• Strong manual therapy skills, including (but not limited to) Graston, Dry Needling, MDT, and Mulligan techniques

We offer:

• A competitive base salary aligned with the Chicago market
• A performance-based bonus structure to reward excellence and results
• Ongoing opportunities for professional growth as we expand across the Chicagoland area
