Job Description
Physical Therapist - Outpatient Orthopedics | FYZICAL Lake Forest | Mission Viejo, CA | Full-Time
Pay: $48-$56 per hour, depending on experience, plus a monthly incentive bonus.
About Us:
FYZICAL Lake Forest is a small, owner-led outpatient orthopedic practice serving South Orange County, currently treating in Mission Viejo. The practice focuses on hands-on manual therapy, doctoral-level clinical reasoning, and an advanced technology stack that most clinics do not offer. Patients are mostly active adults and older adults who want to get back to the things they love. You will work directly alongside the owner, Justin Fesler, PT, DPT, FAAOMPT, a fellowship-trained manual therapist.
Why Therapists Like Working Here:
Every treatment slot is 40 minutes of one-on-one care. You will not juggle two or three patients at once, so you have time for the manual therapy and clinical reasoning you trained for. The clinic has an established waitlist, so you start with a full caseload instead of a slow build.
What You Will Do:
- Evaluate and treat a varied orthopedic caseload, roughly half Medicare and half commercial PPO
- Use manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and neuromuscular re-education
- Use the clinic's modality stack: SoftWave focused shockwave, radial pressure wave, Class IV laser, and the Neubie direct-current NMES system
- Work with the clinic's PTA in a team-based model
- Document in SPRY
What We Are Looking For:
- Current California PT license, or eligible to be licensed
- DPT preferred; new graduates welcome to apply
- Strong interest in manual therapy and evidence-based orthopedic care
- Comfortable treating older adults and Medicare patients
What We Offer:
- $48-$56 per hour, depending on experience
- Monthly incentive bonus when your visits exceed 88% of your scheduled capacity
- Additional earning opportunity through the cash-pay services you provide, such as SoftWave shockwave therapy
- Clinical training in SoftWave shockwave therapy, including case selection and treatment protocols
- Mentorship in manual therapy from a fellowship-trained clinician
- Hands-on training with the full modality stack: radial pressure wave, Class IV laser, and Neubie
- 50% employer contribution to health insurance premiums
- Paid time off: 80 to 120 hours per year, depending on years of experience
- 40 hours of paid sick leave per year
Schedule: Open for discussion.
Work location: In person, FYZICAL Lake Forest, 26034 Acero, Mission Viejo, CA 92691.
