Are you a Physical Therapist looking for a role where you have true autonomy over your schedule and your care, a compensation package that reflects your value, and a practice culture that genuinely puts patients and clinicians first? Empower Physical Therapy is hiring a Physical Therapist to join its growing team in Palmer, AK. Both a staff-level position and a Clinic Director opportunity are available.

A pelvic health role is available to interested candidates.

About Empower Physical Therapy

Empower Physical Therapy was built to change the way Alaskans experience rehabilitation. With locations in Anchorage, Wasilla, and Palmer, the practice was founded on a simple belief: that healing begins when patients are truly heard, and that movement done right can heal. Empower was created to replace the cold, overcrowded, assembly-line model of therapy with something better. Care is personal here, wins are celebrated, and both patients and clinicians feel the difference.

About the Role

You will treat patients of all ages in a general outpatient orthopedic setting, with vestibular rehabilitation also part of the caseload. A pelvic health caseload is available for interested candidates. All care is delivered one-on-one in 45-minute sessions with no patient overlap unless you as the treating therapist determine it is clinically appropriate. Full-time clinicians can expect to see 44 patients per week. You will have full autonomy over your schedule. The staff-level position includes a path to management for interested candidates. The Clinic Director role combines management responsibilities with direct patient care for clinicians ready to lead.

Schedule

Monday through Friday, with clinic hours running 7am to 7pm. No weekends. No holidays. Flexible scheduling is available and you will have the autonomy to build a schedule that works for your life.

Compensation

Base compensation starts at $97,000, with experienced candidates expected to earn over $100,000. Total compensation reaches $120,000 or more when all components are included. A sign-on bonus or relocation assistance is available.

Benefits

Employer-sponsored medical insurance. HSA and FSA options available. Dental and vision insurance. Retirement program with 3% employer match. Short-term disability coverage.

Requirements

Eligible for licensure as a Physical Therapist in Alaska. Prior outpatient orthopedic experience is preferred but not required.
