Job Description

Outpatient Orthopedic & Sports Medicine | Darien, CT

A nationally recognized, performance-driven physical therapy organization is seeking a Licensed Physical Therapist to join its growing outpatient clinic in Darien, Connecticut. This is an opportunity to work in a highly collaborative, movement-focused environment that blends evidence-based rehabilitation with performance, wellness, and recovery.

This organization was founded with the mission of redefining what physical therapy can be—moving beyond traditional care into injury prevention, athletic performance, and lifelong movement health. With a nationwide footprint and a team of 100+ clinicians, they are deeply integrated into active communities and athletic populations across a wide range of sports and lifestyles.

Position Overview

The Physical Therapist will evaluate, treat, and educate patients across a broad spectrum of orthopedic, sports, and wellness needs. You’ll work with active individuals of all ages from post-operative patients to competitive athletes using advanced manual therapy techniques, cutting-edge recovery tools, and customized treatment plans designed to restore function and optimize performance.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform comprehensive evaluations and develop individualized treatment plans
• Deliver hands-on, evidence-based physical therapy for orthopedic and sports-related conditions
• Utilize advanced treatment techniques including:
  • Manual therapy
  • Functional dry needling
  • Blood flow restriction therapy (BFR)
  • Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM)
  • Therapeutic cupping
  • Joint mobilization and manipulation
• Incorporate biomechanical assessments, gait and running analysis, and return-to-sport testing
• Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team including physical therapists, trainers, and recovery specialists
• Educate patients on injury prevention, movement mechanics, and long-term wellness strategies
• Support group classes, Pilates-based rehab, circuit training, and performance programming as appropriate
• Maintain timely and accurate documentation in compliance with state and payer guidelines

Clinical Environment & Services

Clinicians have access to state-of-the-art equipment and services, including but not limited to:

• AlterG anti-gravity treadmill
• Force plate testing and movement analysis
• Advanced recovery systems (compression boots, cupping, electrical stimulation)
• Pilates reformer rehab and mobility sessions
• Sports massage, medical massage, and prenatal massage integration
• Telehealth services
• Specialty programs including vestibular rehab, women’s health, spine care, concussion management, Parkinson’s care (LSVT BIG), and climber- and sport-specific rehabilitation

Why This Opportunity

• Work in a modern, performance-oriented clinic—not a high-volume mill
• Diverse caseload with athletes, active adults, and complex orthopedic cases
• Strong emphasis on continuing education and professional growth
• Collaborative, team-based culture with nationally connected clinicians
• Ability to integrate fitness, recovery, and prevention into true patient care

Qualifications

• Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) from an accredited program
• Active or eligible Connecticut Physical Therapy license
• Strong interest in orthopedic and sports rehabilitation
• Manual therapy experience preferred
• Dry needling and BFR experience a plus (or willingness to train)
• Passion for movement, fitness, and an active lifestyle
• Excellent communication and patient engagement skills
