DPT Physical Therapy & Fitness is looking for a motivated and compassionate Performance & Aquatic Physical Therapist to join our new West Bloomfield clinic. This location will be based inside a large, active fitness facility, giving the therapist access to full gym equipment, training space, and a large indoor pool with lift access for aquatic therapy patients. For over 9 years, we've built our practice around one simple idea: patients deserve real, individualized attention from a Doctor of Physical Therapy, not a rotation of aides and assistants. If you're looking for a clinic where you can actually practice the way you were trained to, we'd love to talk. About Us We're an outpatient physical therapy practice currently serving the Berkley and Bloomfield Hills communities, and we're expanding into West Bloomfield with a clinic designed around movement, performance, and long-term wellness.

This role is ideal for a clinician whose own lifestyle aligns with health, fitness, strength training, and movement. You'll be working in an environment surrounded by people actively training, exercising, and investing in their wellness. For the right therapist, this is more than a clinic job - it's an opportunity to practice in a setting that reflects the way you live.
