Job Description
*PHYSICAL THERAPIST - OUTPATIENT ORTHOPEDICS*
*$10,000 sign-on bonus | One-on-one outpatient orthopedic care | Pinehurst, NC* *Full-time | Monday–Friday | No evenings, no weekends* *$80,000–$95,000 per year, based on experience*
Paragon Physical Therapy is hiring a licensed Physical Therapist (DPT or license-eligible) for our outpatient orthopedic clinic in Pinehurst, North Carolina. New graduates and experienced physical therapists are both encouraged to apply — structured mentorship is built into this role from day one.
Why physical therapists choose Paragon
* *One patient at a time, every session — the entire session.* No double-booking, no aides running the floor, no bouncing between plinths. This is the care model hospital systems and high-volume clinics can't offer, and performance-based pay rewards the full caseload you build within it.
* *Transparent pay.* Our full salary range is published right here — no "compensation determined at time of offer."
* *Your growth is funded* — a $2,500 annual CE budget with paid course days, plus in-house mentorship in dry needling, blood flow restriction, TPI® golf assessments, and Stecco Method Fascial Manipulation. We want you to learn skills that make you a better clinician.
* *Full clinical autonomy* — you own your schedule, your plans of care, and your clinical decision-making
* *Premier EMR software* — we run Prompt Plus EMR specifically so notes don't follow you home
* *Sustainable full-time schedule*: Monday–Friday, no evenings, no weekends, no holidays
Compensation & benefits
* Salary: $80,000–$95,000 based on experience, with performance-based upside as you build your caseload
* $10,000 sign-on bonus
* Relocation assistance
* Health insurance
* Paid time off and paid holidays
* Retirement plan (IRA) with employer contributions
* $2,500 annual continuing education budget with paid course time
* Hands-on mentorship in advanced techniques (dry needling, TPI®, blood flow restriction, Stecco Method Fascial Manipulation)
What you'll do as a Physical Therapist at Paragon
* Provide one-on-one outpatient orthopedic physical therapy — every session is direct patient care
* Perform comprehensive orthopedic and musculoskeletal evaluations
* Develop and progress individualized treatment plans
* Integrate manual therapy, dry needling, blood flow restriction training, and performance-based rehab as appropriate
* Educate patients on recovery, injury prevention, and long-term performance
Our patient population is active and motivated: local residents, competitive golfers, athletes, military families, and patients who travel to Pinehurst for specialized outpatient care.
Requirements
* Candidate must hold an active North Carolina Physical Therapist license, or be eligible for NC licensure (including PT Compact privilege)
* DPT or Master's degree in Physical Therapy from a CAPTE-accredited program
* Strong orthopedic clinical reasoning and communication skills
