Full-Time Company Overview:

Sports Performance is a family-owned and operated health and wellness company deeply rooted in the San Diego community. Since 2014, our mission has been simple: keep people healthy, active, and performing at their best for life. We are not your typical physical therapy clinic. At Sports Performance, we operate through an integrated rehabilitation and performance model that combines physical therapy, regenerative recovery services, massage therapy, performance training, stretch therapy, wellness services, and return-to-sport programming under one roof. Our team is passionate about helping people relieve pain, prevent injury, improve performance, and confidently return to the activities they love. We pride ourselves on delivering elite-level care within a positive, energetic, and collaborative environment where both clients and team members feel supported and valued. As we continue growing across San Diego County, we are looking for an Athletic Trainer who is hungry to grow professionally, passionate about movement and performance, and excited to be an integral part of a modern healthcare and performance team.
