Competitive Edge Physical Therapy is a fast-growing, privately owned, sports orthopedic and biomechanics practice with locations in San Jose, Santa Clara, and Pleasanton, California. We are cash-based, don’t contract with any insurance companies, have the most advanced technology in the business, and as a result attract and get to work with the best clients in the Bay area.

We currently have an immediate opening for a full-time licensed physical therapist at our Pleasanton location.

Feeling boxed-in by corporate rules and regulations limits your freedom to choose what's best for your personal and professional aspirations. Here's how Competitive Edge is changing the game:

• Avoid burnout while focusing on client experience - maximum of 32 client treatments per week
• Ability to flex your schedule around a dream vacation or life event
• Choice in working a 4 or 5 day work‑week
• Support in expressing your unique knowledge and expertise to our growing community
• Freedom in working for a small growing business where your ideas can truly be put into practice
• AI documentation saving you hours in charting

Competitive EDGE Physical Therapy is one of the most advanced outpatient physical therapy centers in the country. Our facility is a research‑grade biomechanics lab and human performance center that caters to athletes of all levels. Our center is outfitted with 3D IMU sensors, muscle EMG, force plates, and high‑speed video. Our team serves as the physical therapy team for the MLS San Jose Earthquakes and works with high level ultra and marathon runners.

Competitive Edge believes that a truly great physical therapy company is where client and staff relationships are built on mutual trust and shared goals, where physical therapists have the time and industry leading technology necessary to educate and empower clients, and where the client remains the center of attention. We are a fully cash‑based clinic, which means you can utilize your degree to its fullest potential without the burdens of insurance reimbursement.

YOU can decide what’s best for your clients.

Personal and professional growth is the foundation of what makes Competitive Edge different. We dedicate over 100 hours per year towards professional development. Every week we block two hours for training and education as a team and one hour for direct, one‑on‑one mentorship with an experienced OCS, CSCS, and fellowship/residency trained physical therapist.

For the right candidate who has aspirations for clinic ownership, Competitive Edge offers a pathway to become an owner of a new Competitive Edge location with on‑the‑job mentorship and training provided.

If you thrive in fast‑paced environments and want to work for a growing small business where all details of the business are transparent, where your contributions and effort matter, and where you can brainstorm creative solutions to complex problems, then a career as a physical therapist at Competitive Edge is right for you.
