SPT Kirkland is a sports and orthopedic physical therapy clinic built for clinicians who want to grow fast, think critically, and deliver high-level care to active adults and athletes.
We operate in an open-gym, movement-based environment focused on objective testing, progressive rehab, and real-world performance outcomes—not passive, volume-driven care.
This role is designed for:
New grads who want structured mentorship and a fast learning curve
High performers who want autonomy, efficiency, and a results-driven environment

Your First 30–60 Days

What You Will Do
Treat orthopedic and sports‑related conditions under the direction of a PT
Coach patients through exercise progressions, movement retraining, and load management
Apply manual therapy techniques when they meaningfully support patient outcomes
Contribute to clinical decision‑making rather than simply following a protocol
Document efficiently during the workday so you’re not taking notes home
Clinic Environment
Active, open‑gym model with minimal passive modalities
Structured schedule that supports high‑quality care and therapist efficiency
Collaborative team culture with high standards, accountability, and mutual support
Patient population: active adults, athletes, and motivated individuals who want to get better and stay better
Mentorship & Growth
Direct access to the Clinic Director for real‑time feedback, treatment guidance, and case review
Weekly or biweekly 1:1 check‑ins focused on your development, performance, and goals
Clear growth trajectory: confidence → efficiency → autonomy
Strong emphasis on clinical reasoning so you can deliver individualized, high‑value care—not cookie‑cutter programs
