We have an immediate opening for a dedicated physical therapist or physical therapy assistant looking to refine their craft.
Grow your skills, make an impact, earn what your care is worth, and enjoy balance in work and life.
Realize Physical Therapy is hiring a full-time Physical Therapist (PT) or Licensed Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) to join our growing team in North Idaho. Current open positions include:
- Orthopedic Physical Therpiast
- Pelvic Health Physical Therapist
- Licensed Physical Therapist Assistant
Our clinic is located in downtown Sandpoint, ID about 20 minutes from Schweitzer Mountain Resort and right next to Lake Pend Oreille. If you value an active lifestyle and want to live in one of Idaho’s most scenic communities.
About Us
We are a small, cash-based physical therapy clinic in downtown Sandpoint, Idaho. Every patient gets one clinician and one full hour, no double-booking, no rushing. You’ll actually get to do the work you were trained to do.
Our clinical approach is built on a deep understanding of how muscles function in relationship to one another, and how that understanding changes everything downstream: where and why we apply manual therapy, which modalities we use, and how we design each patient’s exercise progression. It’s a framework that produces outcomes in patients who haven’t found relief elsewhere, and it’s one of the more distinctive approaches being practiced anywhere right now.
We’re not a high-volume clinic chasing productivity numbers. We’re a small team doing careful, thoughtful work, and building something we believe has real implications for how physical therapy is practiced and taught.
We also understand that life doesn’t pause for work. When something important comes up, a family event, a personal commitment, a moment that matters — we support each other to make it work.
Sandpoint, Idaho
Sandpoint sits on the north shore of Lake Pend Oreille in the Idaho Panhandle, consistently ranked among the most livable small towns in the American West. It is the kind of place people move to on purpose.
- Schweitzer Mountain Resort is 15 minutes from the clinic, with world-class skiing and snowboarding
- Hundreds of miles of maintained trail networks on dedicated land trusts for mountain biking, trail running, and hiking, accessible year-round
- Lake Pend Oreille hosts open water swimming events, paddling, fishing, and boating all summer
- A calendar full of community events: trail races, fun runs, music festivals, and more
- Spokane is about 70 miles south for larger airport access and city amenities

Position: Full-Time Physical Therapist (Orthopedic)
Who We’re Looking For
You chose physical therapy because you wanted to make a real difference in people’s lives, and you’re the kind of clinician who takes that seriously. You’re not looking for a place to punch a clock. You’re looking for somewhere that will make you better.
You know the kind of clinician you want to become, one who has real time with each patient, thinks carefully through difficult cases, and has someone in their corner who is genuinely invested in their development.
You also want to be compensated fairly for that commitment, and you should be.
And you want a workplace that supports you when life happens, not one that makes you choose between your job and the moments that matter.
If this resonates, we want to talk with you about this position.
The Position
Day-to-Day Structure
What You’ll Do
A Note for Exercise-Focused Clinicians
If your background includes exercise science, strength and conditioning, or sports performance, there is a specific opportunity here to design unique programming that extends patient outcomes beyond the treatment room. Those skills translate directly into better results for patients and are reflected in your compensation.
Compensation & Benefits
This position starts at $85,000 for new graduates and reaches $120,000 or more for experienced clinicians, with earnings that continue to grow as your clinical impact does. There is no ceiling.
Mentorship & Development
This is one of the most important things we offer, and we take it seriously.
When you join Realize PT, you enter a structured development program designed to build your clinical skills systematically, not throw you in and see what happens. That includes:
The goal is straightforward: to help you become a clinician who can handle anything, and to give you the foundation to keep growing well beyond your time here.
For those who want them, there are also paths toward mentoring future clinicians, contributing to continuing education development, and taking on expanded leadership within the practice. These are available when you’re ready for them, not expected from day one.

Position: Full-Time Physical Therapist (Pelvic Health)
Who We're Looking For
You pursued pelvic health because you wanted to grow as a clinician and because you believe your patients deserve the best version of what you can offer them.
Our clinical approach is already producing results for patients with pelvic floor and women's health presentations. We see these patients, we understand what is driving their symptoms, and we know that adding a dedicated pelvic health specialist to this practice will make a real difference for the people we are already seeing.
What you get in return is a practice built around doing it right. One clinician, one patient, one full hour. A manageable caseload that gives you room to do thorough work. Protected time for notes and education built into your schedule. Compensation that reflects your specialization. And a workplace that treats your time outside the clinic as your own.
If that sounds like what you have been looking for, we want to hear from you.
The Position
Day-to-Day Structure
- 30 to 32 hours of 1:1 patient care per week, primarily 60-minute sessions
- 8 to 10 hours of protected time built into your 40-hour week for education, case review, and notes, not added on top of patient care
- 4 or 5-day work week based on your preference
- AI-assisted charting, so documentation is fast and evenings are yours
- Weekly team meetings to discuss cases and work through clinical questions together
What You'll Do
- Evaluate and treat patients presenting with pelvic floor dysfunction, including urinary and bowel conditions, pelvic pain, prolapse, pre- and postnatal conditions, and sexual health concerns
- Design individualized care plans that integrate internal and external manual therapy, neuromuscular re-education, and progressive exercise programming
- Communicate clearly with patients about their condition, their progress, and their home program
- Collaborate with the clinic director on complex cases and contribute to ongoing clinical development
- Participate in case reviews and team discussions as a valued voice in the practice
A Note on Growth
There is an opportunity here to help shape how pelvic health develops within this practice. If that interests you, we want to hear about it. If your focus is on delivering excellent clinical care, that is exactly what this role is built around.
Compensation & Benefits
This position starts at $95,000 and reaches $120,000 or more, with earnings that continue to grow as your clinical impact does. There is no ceiling.
- Full medical and dental insurance
- 401(k) with employer match
- 20 days paid time off per year
- Dedicated paid continuing education days (in addition to PTO)
- Generous continuing education reimbursement budget
- Relocation assistance available; amount based on your situation, discussed during the offer process
Clinical Environment
Practicing pelvic health at Realize PT means having what you actually need to do the work well. Time for a thorough history. Space for a complete evaluation. The freedom to build care plans that reflect what each patient needs, not what a productivity target allows.
You will have access to a dedicated treatment space appropriate for pelvic health care, an open clinical environment where questions are welcomed, and weekly case reviews to work through difficult cases.
We invest in continuing education and provide a generous budget to support it. Your growth as a clinician matters to us, and we want to make sure you have what you need to keep building.

Position: Full-Time Licensed Physical Therapist Assistant (Orthopedic)
Who We're Looking For
You chose physical therapy because you wanted to make a real difference in people's lives, and you're the kind of clinician who takes that seriously. You're not looking for a place to punch a clock. You're looking for somewhere that will make you better.
You want to be part of a team where the clinical work is genuinely thoughtful, where you're not rushing between patients but actually contributing to care that matters. You want a collaborative environment where questions are welcome and the work is shared.
You want to be compensated fairly for that commitment, and you should be.

Working with Our Team

This includes:
