Heal, Grow, and Thrive: A Physical Therapist Opportunity in the Heart of Horse Country

 

A Calling, Not Just a Career

There’s something about Central Kentucky that feels like a heartbeat. Rolling bluegrass fields stretch toward the horizon, their edges framed by white fences and centuries-old oaks. This is a place where community still means something — where neighbors wave, stories are passed across porches, and life moves to a quieter, deeper rhythm.

 

If you’re a passionate Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) ready to do work that matters, here’s your chance to join a thriving healthcare team deeply connected to the people and traditions that make this region special. We’re searching for a Physical Therapist who blends clinical excellence with heartfelt compassion — someone who sees rehabilitation not just as a science, but as an art of restoring hope.

 

What You’ll Be Doing

As a Physical Therapist here, you’ll work one-on-one with patients recovering from surgery, injury, and chronic conditions, empowering them to reclaim their mobility, independence, and joy. You’ll develop personalized treatment plans, deliver evidence-based therapies, and partner with a multidisciplinary team that values innovation and integrity.

From post-operative rehabilitation to injury prevention education, every session is a chance to change a life. You'll be encouraged to think creatively, to advocate fiercely, and to celebrate every small victory with your patients and their families. With access to state-of-the-art equipment and ongoing professional development, your practice will flourish — and so will you.

 

Why You’ll Love the Team — and the Place That Grounds You

When you join us, you’re not stepping into a job — you’re joining a family. Our team believes in lifting each other up, sharing wisdom, and finding joy in the day-to-day work of healing. We foster a culture of mentorship and collaboration, where your ideas are welcomed and your growth is nurtured.

 

And then there’s the location: set in the lush heart of Kentucky, this is a region that feeds the soul. Spend your weekends hiking the shaded trails of Raven Run Nature Sanctuary, exploring the historic bourbon distilleries of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, or simply savoring farm-to-table meals crafted from the region’s rich agricultural bounty. Horse farms dot the landscape like living postcards, and there's no better place to experience the tradition of Thoroughbred racing than Keeneland, where the energy of a race day is a thrill like no other.

 

Whether you're cheering for the Wildcats at a college basketball game, browsing the charming shops of downtown, or fishing along the serene banks of the Kentucky River, life here moves at the perfect pace — slow enough to savor, rich enough to inspire.

 

The Kind of Person Who Thrives Here

We’re looking for a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) who’s fully licensed (or license-eligible) in Kentucky. A year or two of outpatient or acute care experience is a plus, but new graduates with a passion for patient-centered care are also encouraged to apply.

 

You’ll fit right in if you believe that listening is as important as diagnosing, that perseverance is as crucial as knowledge, and that a little laughter can be just as healing as exercise. Compassion, resilience, a drive for continuous learning — these are your superpowers.

 

If you’re eager to build genuine relationships, to innovate your practice with the latest techniques, and to make a lasting mark on your community, you’ll find your people here.

 

Competitive Compensation and Meaningful Perks

Here, we believe that those who pour their hearts into helping others deserve to be cared for just as generously. That’s why your dedication will be met with a compensation package that reflects both your professional expertise and your invaluable presence in our community. Salaries for Physical Therapists in this region typically range from $78,000 to $98,000 annually, depending on your experience, certifications, and clinical background. If you bring strong leadership, specialty skills, or years of outpatient or acute care practice, you may find yourself on the higher end of that scale.

 

Beyond the paycheck, you’ll find a benefits package thoughtfully designed to support your health, your future, and your work-life balance. Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, a 401(k) with employer match, and generous paid time off are just the beginning. We also invest in your continued growth through professional development stipends, continuing education opportunities, and state licensing support — because your curiosity and drive to improve should always be encouraged, never capped.

 

Flexible scheduling allows you to be fully present for both your patients and your own personal life, while a nurturing leadership team ensures you never feel like just a number. And of course, the biggest perk of all? Being part of a warm, welcoming community that values what you do, knows your name, and is genuinely grateful for the difference you make.

 

Life Beyond the Clinic: Welcome to Central Kentucky

There’s a reason people fall in love with this place and never want to leave. Central Kentucky is a region that surprises you with its sophistication, charms you with its hospitality, and inspires you with its natural beauty.

 

Crab Orchard is often called the "Horse Capital of the World," but it’s more than just picturesque pastures. It’s home to a thriving arts scene, renowned universities, vibrant music festivals, and some of the best dining in the South. Think bourbon-glazed everything, but also inventive farm-to-table fare, buzzing farmers' markets, and cozy coffee shops that know your name after one visit.

 

Just a short drive from Red River Gorge (a mecca for rock climbers, hikers, and adventurers), Central Kentucky offers outdoor enthusiasts a playground of cliffs, caves, waterfalls, and lush forests. The cost of living is affordable, the schools are excellent, and the sense of community is real and enduring.

 

Here, you don’t have to choose between career fulfillment and quality of life. You can have both — in abundance.

 

Let’s Build Something Beautiful Together

If you’re ready to bring your passion for healing to a place where your work is valued, your team feels like family, and your surroundings feed your spirit, we want to meet you.

 

Join us in a region where every sunrise over the misty pastures feels like a promise, where your skills make a difference every day, and where your next great chapter is waiting to be written.
