nPhysical Therapist — Outpatient Orthopedics

nSkypark Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation • Torrance, CA

nFull-Time • $90,000–$110,000 base plus performance bonus • New grads welcome

nSkypark Physical Therapy is seeking a Physical Therapist to join our growing outpatient clinic in Torrance. This role is focused on delivering high-quality, evidence-based care to a diverse patient population while collaborating with a tight-knit team that values clear communication, professional growth, and an exceptional patient experience.

nNew graduates are encouraged to apply. You’ll be paired with a named mentor for weekly one-on-one case review during your first six months, with a structured 30/60/90-day caseload ramp — mentoring time is paid and protected.

nCompensation

nBase salary is $90,000–$110,000, depending on experience. We use a written rubric for placement within the range and we’ll share it with you during the interview, so the number isn’t a mystery or a negotiation contest.

nThere is also a performance bonus. The salary covers a full caseload of 70 completed visits per week — about 14 a day. Beyond that, each completed visit pays an additional $15, with no cap. Whether to build past 70 is up to you; some therapists will want the fuller schedule and the income, some won’t, and both are fine with us. At a $95,000 base it works out like this:

n| Average completed visits | Bonus per year | Total pay | 70 per week (full caseload) | — | $95,000 | 75 per week | $3,500 | $98,500 | 80 per week (16/day) | $7,100 | $102,100 | 90 per week | $14,200 | $109,200 | 100 per week | $21,300 | $116,300

nA few details on how the bonus works:

n• A visit counts when the patient arrives and is treated.

n• Time off doesn’t count against you. Vacation, sick, holiday, and CE days reduce the weekly target proportionally. It’s measured weekly, so a shorter day doesn’t hurt you either.

n• It’s calculated and paid each quarter. Once paid, it’s yours — there are no clawbacks and nothing is held until year-end.

n• It begins after your 90-day onboarding period.

n• Bonus eligibility requires timely documentation, clinically appropriate utilization, and compliance with payer and clinic standards.

nBenefits

n| Benefit | Approximate value | Base salary (example at $95,000) | $95,000 | Student loan / education benefit — $2,500 paid every 6 months during your first 2 years | $5,000/yr | SIMPLE IRA retirement plan with 4% employer match | ~$3,800/yr | Health insurance — Blue Shield Gold PPO, 50% employer-paid, plus dental | ~$4,500/yr | Continuing education — $1,500/yr stipend plus 2 paid CE days | ~$2,200/yr | California license renewal, malpractice coverage, BLS certification, APTA dues | Paid by clinic | 21 paid days off — 10 PTO, 5 sick, 6 holidays | — | Approximate first-year value, before bonus | $110,000+

nHealth value depends on which plan you elect; the retirement match assumes you contribute at least 4%. Your offer letter will show the full package at your actual salary.

nCaseload and Schedule

n• The expected caseload is 14–16 completed visits per day. That’s where our current therapists actually run; we’re putting it in writing because we know postings in this field often say one number and mean another.

n• New hires follow a gradual 30/60/90-day ramp: 8–10 completed visits per day initially, 10–12 by 30 days, and 12–14 by 60–90 days. Double-booked blocks are added gradually as your clinical confidence and workflow develop.

n• You’ll have a standing weekly one-on-one with a senior therapist during work hours, for as long as it’s useful to you.

n• Hours are Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, including a one-hour lunch, plus one four-hour weekend shift per month. Those four hours are offset by a four-hour reduction on another weekday during the same pay period.

n• We use HIPAA-compliant, AI-assisted documentation support designed to speed up note completion. Documentation time is part of the workday, with the goal that notes are finished before you leave.

n• Front desk and billing staff handle scheduling, insurance verification, and authorizations.

nAbout the Clinic

nWe’re a therapist-owned clinic with a small team: physical therapists, a PTA, aides, and dedicated front desk staff. The caseload is general outpatient orthopedics with steady referral volume — post-surgical patients, athletes, and active older adults — so you’d be busy from the start rather than building a schedule from zero. We’re planning to open a second location in the next year; this position is an addition to the team, not a backfill. Participation in second-location leadership would be optional and would include defined authority, responsibilities, and additional compensation.

nWhat the Job Involves

n• Evaluating and treating your own outpatient orthopedic caseload with individualized, evidence-based plans of care.

n• Directing the PTA and aides supporting your patients.

n• Keeping documentation accurate, timely, and payer-compliant.

n• Communicating with referring physicians and families where needed.

n• Participating in team meetings and in-services, and mentoring students if that interests you.

nQualifications

n• DPT or MPT from a CAPTE-accredited program.

n• California PT license, active or pending. New grads are welcome to apply before licensure comes through.

n• Current BLS/CPR certification.

n• Outpatient orthopedic experience and Spanish are both helpful but not required.

nHow to Apply

nEmail your resume and a few sentences about what you’re looking for to We respond to every applicant. The process is a phone conversation, a visit to the clinic to meet the team and see how it runs, and then a written offer with all of the numbers in it. We try to complete it within two weeks.
