StartDate: ASAP
Pay Rate: $2207.00 - $2275.00
This Physical Therapist role is based in Cumming, Georgia, a thriving and fast-growing community in Forsyth County. Cumming offers a welcoming suburban feel with excellent schools, safe neighborhoods, and easy access to outdoor recreation, making it an appealing place to live and work. The area is just a short drive from Atlanta, providing access to major cultural events, professional sports, dining, and entertainment, while still retaining the comfort and convenience of a smaller city.
Cumming is known for its proximity to Lake Lanier, a popular destination for boating, fishing, and waterfront relaxation, as well as nearby parks, greenways, and hiking trails ideal for an active lifestyle. The community hosts local festivals, farmers markets, and family-friendly events throughout the year, creating a strong sense of connection and local pride. With a growing healthcare and wellness presence, Cumming provides an excellent environment for clinicians who value both professional opportunity and quality of life.
The clinic setting is a modern outpatient rehab and performance environment designed to support both traditional physical therapy and advanced performance training. Patients include a mix of active adults, weekend warriors, youth athletes, and individuals recovering from orthopedic surgeries or injuries, creating opportunities for meaningful, goal-driven work. The workspace emphasizes open treatment areas, functional training zones, and access to equipment that supports strength, conditioning, and movement-based rehabilitation.
As a Physical Therapist in this setting, you will perform comprehensive evaluations, develop individualized treatment plans, and deliver hands-on care focused on restoring function, reducing pain, and optimizing performance. Typical daily responsibilities include conducting initial assessments, providing manual therapy and therapeutic exercise, guiding neuromuscular re-education, and educating patients on injury prevention and home programming. You will document care in an electronic medical record system, track measurable outcomes, and collaborate closely with other clinicians and referring providers.
You can expect a reasonable and manageable caseload, with patient visit volumes aligned to support high-quality, one-on-one care. The environment encourages use of outcome measures, functional testing, and clear goal-setting with each patient. Collaboration with colleagues is central to the clinic culture, with opportunities to discuss complex cases, share best practices, and participate in internal education or case reviews.
Scheduling typically includes daytime and early evening hours, with shifts designed to accommodate patient availability while supporting work-life balance for clinicians. Weekend coverage, if present, is limited and shared, allowing you to enjoy the amenities of Cumming and the surrounding region. The clinic prides itself on a supportive atmosphere where therapists can grow their skills, explore specialty interests like sports or orthopedics, and build a strong professional reputation within the community.
This position is well-suited for a Physical Therapist who enjoys outpatient orthopedics and performance-focused care, values a collaborative team environment, and seeks to practice in a community that offers both professional growth and an excellent quality of life.
