Job Description
Practice Somewhere You Want to Build a Life There are places you take a job, and there are places you build a life. Highlands Ranch sits at the edge of both worlds — minutes from Chatfield and Roxborough State Parks, 30 minutes from Red Rocks, and close to the world-class skiing in the Rockies. Backcountry wilderness trails are practically out the back door. If your ideal weekend involves elevation gain, this is where you want to land. The team at Highlands Ranch PT reflects the community it's in — clinicians who hike, bike, ski, and trail run, treating patients who do the same. That shapes everything from the cases you see to the culture you work in. Colorado's Front Range isn't just a backdrop here. It's the reason people come, the reason they stay, and the kind of place that makes the drive to work feel like the best part of living somewhere that actually fits. About Epic Physical Therapy Epic Physical Therapy is a physical therapist-owned outpatient practice , which means clinicians have a real voice in patient care and clinic culture. Owner Ryan Palkoner brings 20 years of practice across Florida, California, and Colorado — Ironman medical staff, national lecturer on manual release techniques, and someone who has worked in enough PT environments to know exactly what good looks like. He built Epic around it. You'll join a team where mentorship is part of the job, collaboration is real, and professional growth is actively encouraged . Epic clinics consistently rank in the top tier nationally for patient outcomes, and the environment is built for clinicians who want to thrive both professionally and personally — not just fill a schedule.
