Physical Therapy Careers the Way They Should Be
Join Highbar and do work you're proud of — real, protected mentorship, schedules built around people instead of volume, and a clear path to grow for years, not months.
Outpatient PT and PTA roles for students, new grads, and experienced clinicians across Rhode Island and Massachusetts.
Why PTs & PTAs Choose Highbar
Highbar is New England’s leading and most innovative teaching practice, built by physical therapists for physical therapists, and we are out to move physical therapy forward, not just keep pace. We invest in clinicians the way we wish someone had invested in us: mentorship blocked on your calendar, an in-house residency with a 100% residency board-pass record, and the time and trust to practice at the top of your license.
Practice at a Higher Level
Under 12 patients a day, one-on-one care. No double-booking. You get the time, the tools, and the autonomy to do your best work.
Mentorship You Can Schedule
Not all mentorship is created equal. Two protected hours a week with an experienced clinician for 12 weeks, blocked out on your calendar. Learn more →
A Real Credential Roadmap
Built by us, for us. Flexible paths to specialization in orthopedics, pelvic health, pediatrics, and neuro, with more board-certified clinicians than any practice in New England to learn from. An accredited in-house residency, and $15,000+ in professional development in your first 18 months, uncapped after.
A Culture You Can Feel
Every therapist is a teacher. You can be a clinical instructor, mentor, faculty member, or dry needling instructor, and earn for it. We build in team time every month and design schedules, expectations, and documentation around clinician well-being, so good clinicians stay.
Local Names, One Standard
Peak Physical Therapy and Sports Performance, Joint Ventures Physical Therapy, and Physical
Therapy U have their own name and local roots. Each is a Highbar Practice, affiliated with
Highbar. Same standard of care, same mentorship, same residency-trained clinicians. The only
thing that changes is the name on the door. For you, that’s one career with room to move, the
feel of a local team with a Highbar Practice behind you.
