Physical Therapist

Tired of 3–4 patients an hour and charting until 9 pm?

Want to see 10–12 max, finish notes IN the clinic, and live in beautiful Traverse City?

Highest-rated clinic in northern Michigan is hiring a PT who’s done being treated like a billing machine.

You’re a damn good therapist.

You went into this profession to actually help people — not race through 18–22 visits a day, triple-book evals, and go home to finish notes while your kids are already asleep.

You’re exhausted from: → 90–100%+ productivity expectations

→ Corporate metrics that punish you for spending an extra 8 minutes with the complicated post-op shoulder

→ Feeling guilty because you’re rushing people out the door

→ Wondering if you can keep doing this for another 15–20 years without burning out completely

We get it. We’ve been you.

Six months ago we were getting 1–2 applications a week — mostly new grads who ghosted after the first interview.

Then we stopped writing boring corporate ads and started telling the truth about what we actually offer.

Now we get 4–6 qualified, experienced PTs applying every single week — and yes, we’ve had to turn people away.

Here’s the truth about working at Superior Physical Therapy in Traverse City:

→ Maximum 10–12 patients per day (never double-booked, ever)

→ 100% true 1-on-1 care, 40–60 minute visits — YOU decide the plan of care, not some insurance algorithm

→ Documentation finished before you leave (best AI scribe + template system in the country — most of our therapists finish notes in under 4 minutes)

→ No nights, no weekends, no on-call, no holidays

→ 3 weeks PTO starting year one (yes, really — and we actually want you to use it)

→ Top 10% compensation in Michigan + real take-home pay after bonus (our team averaged $12k–$22k extra profit-sharing last year)

→ Full health, dental,401k match, CEU budget that actually covers whatever you want

→ Mentorship that doesn’t suck — weekly with owners who still treat full-time and have built the #1 rated clinic in northern Michigan

And then there’s Traverse City.

While your friends in Grand Rapids or Detroit sit in traffic, you’ll: → Live 10 minutes from work on Old Mission Peninsula or Leelanau

→ Ski or fat-tire bike at lunch in the winter

→ Kayak Boardman Lake before work in summer

→ Drink world-class wine and eat farm-to-table food that doesn’t cost $80 a plate

→ Raise your family where schools are great and violent crime is basically nonexistent

→ Make upper-quartile Michigan money while everyone else thinks you “took a pay cut to move north”

We’re not for everyone.

If you want to see 25+ patients a day and chase RVUs, please don’t apply — we’ll both be miserable.

But if you’re the clinician who still gets excited about that 65-year-old who finally ditches their cane after your care…

If you want to go home with energy left for your spouse, kids, dog, or fly rod…

If you’re ready to practice at the highest level without selling your soul…

…then Superior Physical Therapy is your last career move.
