Physical Therapist – Sports & Performance Orthopedics
The Lab Sports Therapy & Performance | Austin, Texas
Flexible Schedule | Sports Performance Environment | One-on-One Care | Local Athletic Community

The Lab Sports Therapy & Performance is looking for a Physical Therapist to join its growing team and help expand physical therapy services within its established Austin sports-performance facility.

This is a unique opportunity for a PT who is passionate about sports medicine, orthopedics, strength, and return-to-sport to work directly within a performance-focused environment alongside trainers, athletes, and active adults.

The Lab has strong connections throughout the local athletic community, including relationships with area football and sports programs, creating an exciting opportunity for the right PT to become involved with athletes, coaches, trainers, and families throughout Austin.

What You’ll Do:

• Evaluate and treat athletes and active adults with orthopedic and sports-related injuries

• Develop individualized rehabilitation, strength, and return-to-sport programs.

• Provide high-quality, one-on-one physical therapy within The Lab’s sports-performance environment

• Collaborate with The Lab’s trainers and performance professionals to bridge the gap between rehabilitation and athletic performance

• Build relationships with local coaches, trainers, football and athletic programs, physicians, and other referral partners

• Help grow The Lab’s physical therapy program and presence within the Austin athletic community

• Perform evaluations, re-evaluations, and clinical documentation in accordance with Texas PT requirements

• Potentially supervise and collaborate with PTAs as the program grows

Why The Lab?
Sports-Focused Environment

Connected to Austin Athletics
The Lab has established relationships throughout the local sports community. You’ll have opportunities to become involved with area athletic and football programs and build relationships with athletes, coaches, trainers, and families.

Bridge Rehab & Performance
Work alongside performance professionals to help athletes transition from injury rehabilitation back into strength, training, and competition.

Full Practice Support
Through The Lab’s partnership with Prava Therapy, you’ll have support with insurance credentialing, billing, EMR/documentation, marketing, referral development, and other administrative functions—allowing you to focus on patient care and program growth.
