Job Description
PHYSICAL THERAPIST — FULL TIME Realize Physical Therapy | Sandpoint, Idaho $89,000 – $120,000+ | Full Benefits | Relocation Assistance Available | Immediate Opening realizept.com/careers | info@realizept.com | (208) 610-7134 WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR You chose physical therapy because you wanted to make a real difference in people’s lives — and you’re the kind of clinician who takes that seriously. You’re not looking for a place to punch a clock. You’re looking for somewhere that will make you better. You know the kind of clinician you want to become — one who has real time with each patient, thinks carefully through difficult cases, and has someone in their corner who is genuinely invested in their development. You also want to be compensated fairly for that commitment — and you should be. And you want a workplace that supports you when life happens — not one that makes you choose between your job and the moments that matter. If this resonates, we want to talk with you about this position. ABOUT REALIZE PHYSICAL THERAPY We are a small, cash-based physical therapy clinic in downtown Sandpoint, Idaho. Every patient gets one clinician and one full hour — no double-booking, no rushing. You’ll actually get to do the work you were trained to do. Our clinical approach is built on a deep understanding of how muscles function in relationship to one another — and how that understanding changes everything downstream: where and why we apply manual therapy, which modalities we use, and how we design each patient’s exercise progression. It’s a framework that produces outcomes in patients who haven’t found relief elsewhere, and it’s one of the more distinctive approaches being practiced anywhere right now. We’re not a high-volume clinic chasing productivity numbers. We’re a small team doing careful, thoughtful work — and building something we believe has real implications for how physical therapy is practiced and taught. We also understand that life doesn’t pause for work. When something important comes up — a family event, a personal commitment, a moment that matters — we support each other to make it work. THE POSITION Day-to-Day Structure 30–32 hours of 1:1 patient care per week — primarily 60-minute sessions 8–10 hours of protected time built into your 40-hour week for mentorship, education, case review, and notes — not added on top of patient care 4 or 5-day work week based on your preference AI-assisted charting — documentation is fast, and evenings are yours Weekly team meetings to discuss cases and work through clinical questions together What You’ll Do Evaluate and treat patients using the Neural Fascial Systems framework, with full training and mentorship provided Apply manual therapy, neuromuscular re-education, and movement-based programming to create individualized care plans Communicate clearly with patients about their condition and their path forward Participate in case reviews, co-treatments, and ongoing clinical development Contribute your own background — especially in exercise and movement — to enrich patient programming A Note for Exercise-Focused Clinicians If your background includes exercise science, strength and conditioning, or sports performance, there is a specific opportunity here to design unique programming that extends patient outcomes beyond the treatment room. Those skills translate directly into better results for patients and are reflected in your compensation. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS This position starts at $85,000 for new graduates and reaches $120,000 or more for experienced clinicians — with earnings that continue to grow as your clinical impact does. There is no ceiling.
