About the Practice & The Role We are seeking a Senior Physical Therapist - Manual Therapy Specialist to work at an elite, outpatient manual therapy practice in Nashville committed to helping clients live balanced, pain-free, healthy lives. Operating on a private-pay, out-of-network, concierge model, this practice rejects the typical insurance-driven clinic environment to prioritize pure quality of care. In this role, you function as a highly autonomous clinician and an essential pillar of a dedicated practice. Rather than acting as a traditional generalist or juggling multiple individuals at once, you will deeply embed yourself in a one-on-one, unhurried treatment environment where you spend a full, dedicated hour with each patient. This unique clinical setting empowers you to truly own and evolve your specific therapy niche, receive advanced mentorship in master-level hands-on modalities, and leverage an already booming patient flow generated by the practice. You are given the creative freedom to manage your care plans independently, backed fully by a dedicated administrative and marketing support staff who handle all scheduling and business logistics so that your focus remains entirely on relationship-building and clinical excellence.
