Imagine finishing your workday and being minutes from Glacier National Park. Many of our therapists spend their evenings hiking alpine trails, fishing Montana rivers, mountain biking, or skiing at Whitefish Mountain Resort.
Our clinics are in the heart of the Flathead Valley, and many therapists move here for the lifestyle—and stay for the career growth, community, and mentorship opportunities. This is a place where you can practice hands-on PT, take ownership of your patients, and develop into a future clinic leader.
PTA is a physical therapist-owned outpatient practice. That means clinicians have a real voice in patient care and the clinic culture. We invest in our therapists because confident, supported clinicians produce the best outcomes.
You’ll join a team where mentorship is part of the job, collaboration is real, and professional growth is encouraged. Our clinics consistently rank in the top tier nationally for patient outcomes, and we prioritize creating a work environment where you can thrive both professionally and personally.
You’ll spend most of your time directly with patients, designing and delivering hands-on care. Key responsibilities include:
Evaluating patients and creating individualized, evidence-based treatment plans
Providing interventions such as manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and specialty modalities
Educating patients and families on exercises, recovery, and injury prevention
Tracking progress and adjusting plans as patients improve
Collaborating with other healthcare providers to ensure comprehensive care
Maintaining clear documentation in line with HIPAA and state/federal rules using state-of-the-art AI technology
We’re looking for a PT who is passionate about helping patients move better and grow professionally. Ideal candidates have:
Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) from an accredited program
Licensed or eligible for licensure in Montana
New graduates are encouraged to apply. Experience is a plus, not a requirement
Strong communication and interpersonal skills
Motivation to grow into leadership opportunities
