Performance Physical Therapist

Full Time | In Person | Roanoke, VA

What Makes This Role Different

This is not a cookie-cutter, ten-patients-an-hour, stretch-and-ice PT role.

Our physical therapists treat active adults, runners, and athletes across Roanoke who want a provider that actually gets them. People who want to keep doing what they love, not just get out of pain.

As a core member of our clinical team, you'll build one-on-one relationships with your patients, design plans of care rooted in strength and movement, and help set the tone for what Alchemy is becoming in this community.

You'll grow alongside a team that's active, social, and genuinely invested in each other.

Responsibilities

  • Evaluate and treat patients with a strong ortho and sports medicine lens

  • Build individualized plans of care that emphasize strength, movement, and long-term resilience, not just symptom relief

  • Incorporate strength and conditioning principles into treatment, or be eager to learn them

  • Build genuine, lasting relationships with your patients

  • Communicate clearly with patients, teammates, and referring providers

  • Collaborate with the team on caseload, scheduling, and day-to-day clinic flow

  • Represent Alchemy in the Roanoke community, on and off the clock

  • Bring energy, personality, and a fun-loving attitude to the clinic every day

Full 60-minute, one-on-one sessions. A practice model that isn't boxed in by insurance rules, so you get real autonomy in how you build and deliver care. A collaborative clinical team. Patients who are genuinely invested in their own health. A culture built on mutual respect, on and off the clinic floor.

Candidate Profile

  • Active, sports-minded, and understands the mindset of athletes and active adults

  • Genuinely invested in Roanoke, not just working here

  • Strong communicator who thrives as part of a team

  • Personable, with a gift for building real patient relationships

  • Committed to practicing at the top of your license and putting patient care first

  • Believes in a holistic, whole-person approach to recovery

This Role Is Not a Fit If You Are Looking For

  • A punch-the-clock job where patients feel like a checklist

  • A solo gig instead of a real team environment

  • A role with no room to learn or grow

  • A job where you clock in and out without becoming part of the community

What We Believe

Great physical therapy is about relationships, not quick fixes or a stack of generic home exercise handouts. Active people deserve to be treated like active people, not fragile patients told to give up what they love. Strength and movement are the foundation of lasting recovery. Our team should bring the same energy and engagement we ask of our patients. And Roanoke deserves a team that's genuinely invested here, not just clocking in.
