This full-time outpatient Physical Therapist position is based in Stockton, California, a centrally located city in the heart of the state’s Central Valley. Stockton offers a vibrant mix of urban convenience and small-city charm, with easy access to the California Delta for water activities, nearby wine regions, and convenient drives to the Bay Area and Sacramento.

In this role, you will manage an outpatient caseload that commonly includes orthopedic conditions, post-surgical rehabilitation, sports injuries, spine care, and general musculoskeletal disorders. A typical day includes performing comprehensive evaluations, developing individualized plans of care, implementing therapeutic exercise and manual therapy interventions, and educating patients on injury prevention and self-management strategies. You will be responsible for accurate and timely documentation in the clinic’s electronic medical record system, communicating with referring providers, and tracking patient outcomes to ensure progress and quality of care.
Patient volumes are designed to support both productivity and quality, with reasonable scheduling that allows for thorough assessments and ongoing treatment progression. You may see a mix of adolescent, adult, and older adult patients, reflecting the diverse community served by the clinic. The facility is equipped with modern treatment areas, functional training space, and contemporary rehabilitation equipment to support a wide range of therapeutic interventions.
Shifts are typically daytime hours on weekdays, with some flexibility based on clinic needs and patient demand. This schedule provides a predictable routine and the opportunity to enjoy life in and around Stockton, from waterfront recreation to exploring nearby regional parks, local cuisine, and cultural venues.
This position is well-suited for a Physical Therapist who values a supportive team, diverse outpatient caseload, and the opportunity to grow within a respected organization while enjoying the benefits of living in a centrally located, dynamic Northern California community.
