Physical Therapist Jobs in Carson City, NV

The Health Lab is hiring a full-time physical therapist in Carson City, Nevada. New graduates are welcome, and we're also glad to hear from experienced orthopedic or pelvic floor physical therapists. The start date is immediately.

The Health Lab is a small hybrid outpatient clinic in Carson City, Nevada (about 60% cash-pay, 40% Medicare) offering physical therapy, pelvic floor therapy, StemWave focused shockwave therapy, and primary care. We believe in helping people move with confidence, and we treat the whole person, using a biopsychosocial approach that builds on what patients can do.

Why Work at The Health Lab

Our mission is to create a new medical system where great providers can best treat motivated people and receive the best outcomes. We've found a balance between quality of life and career longevity, and our goal is to build a great place for providers to give quality care to motivated people.

A year-long orthopedic mentorship with Loren Wooldridge, PT, DPT, at no cost to you. Loren is a Board Certified Orthopedic Specialist who completed a year-long orthopedic residency through the University of Utah.
