Physical Therapist (Orthopedic)
Build the Career You Imagined When You Chose Physical Therapy:
100% One-on-One Patient Care.
Protected Documentation Time.
Structured Mentorship
If you became a Physical Therapist to build relationships with your patients, think critically, and deliver exceptional care—not juggle multiple patients at once or spend your evenings finishing documentation—Universus Physical Therapy & Wellness may be exactly what you're looking for.
Whether you're a new graduate looking for the right place to launch your career or an experienced clinician ready to leave the corporate PT mill behind, you'll find a practice where quality of care comes first.
We believe exceptional clinicians need time to think, time to learn, and time to truly care for their patients. That's why we've built our practice differently.
Why Physical Therapists Love Working at Universus:
100% One-on-One Patient Care
You'll never be expected to treat multiple patients simultaneously.
Every patient receives your full attention for the entire treatment session, allowing you to practice the way physical therapy was meant to be practiced.
Instead of rushing from room to room, you'll have the opportunity to:
- Perform thoughtful evaluations
- Deliver individualized, hands-on treatment
- Build meaningful relationships with your patients
- Provide education without feeling rushed
- Focus on outcomes rather than patient volume
Whether you're developing your confidence as a new clinician or rediscovering why you became a PT in the first place, our one-on-one model allows you to provide the level of care you can be proud of.
Dedicated Documentation Time
Documentation shouldn't happen between patients—or after dinner.
Our schedules include dedicated documentation time built into your workday, allowing you to stay current without taking work home.
That means:
- Protected documentation blocks during the workday
- Less stress and better work-life balance
- No late-night "pajama charting"
- More time focused on patients during treatment sessions
- More time at home when your workday ends
Grow Beyond Orthopedics—When You're Ready
Every clinician begins with a caseload appropriate for their experience.
You'll primarily treat orthopedic and post-surgical patients while building a strong clinical foundation.
As your confidence and interests evolve, you'll have the opportunity to develop specialty skills through mentorship in areas such as:
- Pelvic Health
- Vestibular Rehabilitation
- Concussion Rehabilitation
- Chronic Pain
- Neurological Rehabilitation
- Sports Rehabilitaion
You won't be expected to treat specialty populations before you're ready. Instead, we'll help you develop the knowledge, confidence, and clinical reasoning to expand your expertise over time.
Mentorship That Actually Happens
Mentorship isn't a buzzword here.
It's built into our culture.
Whether you're a new graduate or an experienced Physical Therapist looking to continue growing, you'll receive individualized support based on your goals.
You'll have opportunities to:
- Learn directly from experienced clinicians

- Be involved in in-house continuing education opportunities from masters in our industry

Clinical Autonomy You Can Trust
We hire great clinicians and trust them to think.
You'll evaluate patients, develop individualized plans of care, and make treatment decisions using your clinical judgment—not cookie-cutter protocols or productivity quotas.
You'll always have experienced teammates available for collaboration while maintaining ownership of your patient care.
