The thesis

What this search actually requires.

Physical Therapists (PTs) evaluate and treat patients with mobility challenges. Open PT roles directly limit clinic capacity and billing potential. We recruit active PTs, matching them with your clinic's productivity and specialty care targets.

We map active PTs in your local market and run direct campaigns, qualifying them on therapeutic settings (ortho, neuro, peds) and productivity expectations.
