You went to PT school to be excellent. You deserve to work somewhere that lets you become it. Whether you're a new grad looking for real mentorship or an experienced PT ready to reset a career that's stalled out, this is built for you. About Us CJ Physical Therapy & Pilates is a 100% cash-based outpatient clinic in downtown Portsmouth, NH. For 10 years, we've helped adults 40+ stay active, mobile, and out of the surgery, injection, and medication cycle. And our clients are a big part of what makes working here different. Our clientele is mostly in their 40s and up. They're active. Intelligent. Curious. They ask great questions and have a vested interest in having agency over their health, movement, and longevity. They don't just want their pain to go away. They want to understand what's happening, get stronger, stay active, and keep doing the things that matter to them for decades to come. Honestly

• our clients are the best.

Our clinical model is built on three specialties: Mechanical Diagnosis & Therapy (MDT / McKenzie Method) Pilates-based rehab using the tower, chair, and reformer Regenerative therapies including Shockwave (EPAT/ESWT) and EMTT You don't need experience in all three to apply. We provide structured training and mentorship in every specialty. What you do need is the standards and curiosity to actually master them. And we're not planning to stay the same size. We're celebrating our 10th year

• and we're entering our biggest growth phase yet. Our goal is to 10x the business over the next three years. We don't have every piece of that mapped out yet. That's the point. We're building the next version of CJPT now
• expanding our team, developing new leaders, growing our services, and ultimately bringing this model of care to far more people.

If you want to simply walk into an established role and do the same job for the next five years, this probably isn't the place for you. But if the idea of joining a growing company early, helping shape what comes next, and having opportunities that don't even exist yet sounds exciting

What Our Team Actually Says We could tell you what it's like to work here. It's better to hear it from the people who do. "I interviewed at a few places. The thing that kept setting CJPT apart was the mentorship and support. Six months in, my PT school friends are burning out and feeling spread thin. I'm not. Every day I leave reminded I made the right decision." Dr. Maddie, joined as a new grad "I was a PT for 17 years and done with the insurance model

• coding for medical necessity instead of treating people.

I found this clinic and reset my career. I haven't seen this much improvement in my patients anywhere else, and I wouldn't go back." Dr. Todd, joined after 17 years in insurance-based care Never Done Cash-Pay Before? Neither Had Most of Us. The most common concern we hear from great candidates is the same one: "Will I know how to talk to patients about paying out of network?" Here's the truth. Almost no one on our team had done it before they got here. It's the one fear that disappears fastest because we train it directly. You'll learn exactly how to have confident conversations about value, pricing, and long-term care

• the same way you'll learn MDT and regenerative therapies. You don't need to walk in knowing how. You need to be willing to learn it. If you believe people deserve real, unhurried care and you're willing to be coached on the rest, you'll thrive here. Why You'll Love Working Here We invest in your growth
• structurally, not just in words. Our clinic closes every Tuesday for 3 hours of dedicated team training. Real case discussions, real skill development, real mentorship with Carrie and the full clinical team. This isn't a 15-minute huddle squeezed between patients
• it's a weekly, protected investment in your craft. It's the single thing our team names most when they talk about why they stay. We just promoted one of our Staff PTs to Senior PT / Clinical Director in Training. The growth path here isn't a promise on a job ad
• we've already walked someone down it. $2,000 annual CEU allowance + dedicated CEU days that don't eat into your PTO A clear progression into advanced certifications, mentorship roles, and clinical leadership
• based on results, not tenure The opportunity to grow with the company. If we accomplish what we're setting out to accomplish over the next three years, we'll need more than great clinicians. We'll need clinical leaders, mentors, trainers, and people who want to help build what comes next. The day-to-day supports the work
• and protects you from burnout. 60-minute, 1:1 PT sessions and 30-minute regenerative therapy sessions
• one patient at a time, fully present Zero insurance battles, productivity quotas, or documentation rabbit holes You build real relationships with patients you actually get to know, and you see them through to the result
• not just until the pain stops Collaborative, feedback-driven team.
