Junior Physical Therapist (Cash-Based, One-on-One Care) at Anderson Sport and Wellness – Newport Beach, California

Are you a Physical Therapist with 1-5+ years of experience who's ready to break free from high-volume outpatient ortho mills? Do you crave true one-on-one time with motivated patients (60-90 minute sessions), meaningful skill development in advanced manual therapy and high-tech modalities, and a healthy work-life balance?

If you're passionate about honing your craft, delivering cutting-edge, personalized care, and making a lasting impact on active, committed clients — this is the role for you.

About Us We are a thriving cash-based, out-of-network clinic dedicated to exceptional results through quality over quantity. Our patients are primarily athletic, highly motivated adults (35+), including elite and professional athletes, who actively follow home programs and embrace lifestyle changes for outstanding outcomes. We also treat vestibular, post-concussion, and some neuro cases — offering diverse, interesting caseloads. Tired of non-compliant patients or unrealistic productivity demands? Here, you'll work with people who value their health and partner in their recovery, in a collaborative, supportive team environment with realistic expectations and strong management.
