| Job description | Orthopedic and/or Pelvic Health Physical Therapist Physical therapy can be better. Help us prove it. The traditional physical therapy model is broken. Rushed appointments. Multiple patients at once. Productivity quotas. Clinicians burning out while patients receive care designed around insurance reimbursement instead of what actually helps them get better. We're building something different. Fortitude & Freedom Performance Therapy exists to change the way people experience physical therapy. Our mission is to empower people to use movement and fitness to unlock their body's natural healing—so they can recover, grow, and reach their full potential. We're looking for an Orthopedic and/or Pelvic Health Physical Therapist who believes in that mission and wants to help us build the future of performance physical therapy in Central Iowa. THE OPPORTUNITY Fortitude & Freedom is a growing, privately owned performance physical therapy practice connected to Sisu Strength Academy in Waukee, Iowa. We work with people who don't simply want to hurt less. They want to get back to living. Lifting weights. Running. Competing. Training. Playing with their kids. Returning to the gym after having a baby. Doing the things that make them feel strong, capable, and alive. We're expanding our team and our services, including orthopedic and pelvic health physical therapy. We're not looking for someone who simply wants to clock in, treat patients, and clock out. We're looking for someone who wants to become an exceptional clinician, contribute to an exceptional team, and grow with an organization that has a much bigger vision for what physical therapy can become. As Fortitude & Freedom grows, you'll have the opportunity to grow with it. That may eventually mean developing new programs, mentoring other clinicians, stepping into leadership, expanding our pelvic health services, or helping shape the future direction of the practice. You don't need to arrive knowing how to do all of that. We'll help you grow into it. Your primary responsibility is simple: Become an exceptional physical therapist and deliver an exceptional patient experience. You'll provide individualized, 60-minute, one-on-one care without the pressure of juggling multiple patients simultaneously. Our approach combines orthopedic rehabilitation, pelvic health, strength and conditioning, manual therapy, and progressive loading to help people return to the activities that matter most to them. You'll commonly work with: Pregnancy and postpartum athletes This isn't rehabilitation that ends when someone can walk up the stairs. We want our patients capable of doing more than they could before they were injured. YOU WON'T BE EXPECTED TO FIGURE IT OUT ALONE. Great clinicians aren't created by throwing them into a full schedule and hoping they survive. We believe mentorship should be intentional. You'll receive structured mentorship designed to develop you clinically and professionally. The Fortitude & Freedom Clinical Mentorship Program includes: Regular one-on-one mentorship with the clinic owner We'll challenge you—but we won't leave you on an island. The goal isn't simply to make you productive. The goal is to help you become one of the best clinicians in your field. MORE THAN A CLINICIAN We believe great healthcare organizations are built by people who care about more than what's happening inside the treatment room. As you grow into the role, you'll have opportunities to contribute to the clinic beyond patient care. That might include: Building relationships within our fitness and healthcare community You won't be expected to become a salesperson or marketing expert. You'll be supported, coached, and given clear direction. Your job is to become a great clinician, build great relationships, and help us serve more people. WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR Clinical skills matter. Character matters more. We're looking for someone who is: Humble. Hungry. Relational. Coachable. Driven. Health-minded. Mission-oriented. OUR CORE VALUES SERVE We put people first and look for opportunities to make a difference. EXCELLENCE Good enough isn't good enough. We pursue mastery in our craft. RELATIONSHIPS People aren't diagnoses or appointment slots. We build genuine relationships and earn trust. HEALTH We believe movement and fitness are some of the most powerful tools available for creating healthier lives—and we practice what we preach. WHAT YOU'LL NEED Required: Doctor of Physical Therapy degree Preferred, but not required: Pelvic health training or experience If you fit our values but don't check every box, we still want to hear from you. Skills can be taught. Character, curiosity, and drive are harder to teach. WHAT WE OFFER Most importantly: You'll have a voice in what we're building. We're still early in our story. That means the people who join us now won't simply inherit someone else's system. They'll have the opportunity to help shape what Fortitude & Freedom becomes. THIS ISN'T FOR EVERYONE. If you're looking for a traditional outpatient PT job where you can keep your head down, follow the same protocols, collect your paycheck, and repeat the process tomorrow— this probably isn't the place for you. But if you believe physical therapy can be better... If you believe strength and movement can change people's lives... If you want to become an exceptional clinician... If you want to work alongside people who expect a lot from themselves and care deeply about the people they serve... And if the idea of helping build something meaningful excites you—we should talk. We're not trying to build another physical therapy clinic. We're working to transform how people pursue health, performance, and longevity. And we're looking for the right people to build it with us. Fortitude leads to Freedom. |
