Physical Therapist - Outpatient Ortho

# Physical Therapist - Outpatient Orthopedics Downtown Portsmouth, NH | 100% Cash-Based | New Grads Welcome | Celebrating 10 Years If you're tired of being told how many patients to see, fighting insurance for what your patients actually need, and watching your skills plateau because your clinic doesn't actually invest in you - keep reading. 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. 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. ## 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.

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.
