Athlete Restoration Lab Clinic Director Grapevine, TX · Full time Company website

Apply for Clinic Director

Athlete Restoration Lab (ReLab) delivers one-on-one, athlete-centered sports rehabilitation embedded in high-performance training environments. Our clinicians practice at the top of their license, with individualized treatment and evidence-informed care. We operate multiple locations across the DFW metro, each alongside elite training and performance facilities, and we are building a clinical team that grows with us

The Setting

ReLab Southlake sits inside APE Fitness and Performance. You treat steps from the training floor, alongside strength coaches and the athletes they train. Rehab and performance happen in the same building, on the same plan. Youth, high school, college, and pro athletes all come through the door, including an NFL pre-draft class each winter.

The ReLab Model

ReLab is a multi-site sports physical therapy company in DFW. We built it around outcomes and return to performance. Four things define how we practice:

• One on one. Standard sessions are 60 minutes, one clinician with one athlete. You get the time to do the work right.
• Tech infused. Blood flow restriction training, a Boost anti-gravity treadmill, and objective diagnostic testing are part of everyday care. Data guides your decisions and shows athletes their progress.
• Performance integrated. Rehab connects directly to strength and performance training. The goal is return to performance.
• ReLab Access. Our membership keeps athletes in ongoing care, testing, and recovery after their plan of care ends.

A Hybrid Practice

We accept insurance and offer cash-based services side by side. Insurance opens the door for families. Cash-based services, including ReLab Access, pre-draft programming, and performance and recovery care, let you deliver the full plan an athlete needs. You will talk with athletes and families about both, with confidence.

What We Offer

• Clinic Director profit share, paid from your clinic's net profit. You own the results and share in what you build.
• Health, dental, vision, and life insurance.
• Paid time off.
• FORGE, ReLab's leadership development program for clinic directors.
• Mentorship from a team that includes multiple board-certified sports specialists, with decades of combined clinical and leadership experience.
• A clinic inside a performance facility, with the athletes, coaches, and equipment to practice sports PT the way it should be practiced.

Patient Care

• Evaluate and treat athletes and active adults, one on one.
• Build plans of care that carry an athlete from injury through return to sport and performance.
• Coordinate with strength coaches, athletic trainers, and physicians so every athlete has one plan.
• Keep athletes connected after discharge through ReLab Access, our membership for ongoing care, testing, and recovery.

Ownership and Growth

• Run the clinic like it is yours. You own the schedule, the patient experience, the numbers, and the results.
• Build and hold a full caseload.
• Own the clinic's new patient pipeline, from first inquiry to evaluation to plan of care.
• Grow cash-based services, including ReLab Access memberships, alongside insurance-based care.
• Grow the clinic to the point it earns its second clinician, then hire and lead that person.
• Run the clinic on ReLab's operating standards: forward scheduling, a weekly scorecard, and clean documentation.

How the Role Evolves

You start as a full-time treating director. The clinic has an established patient base and room on the schedule, and that open time is yours to spend building school, team, and physician relationships. As the schedule fills, the clinic adds clinicians. Your treating load steps down as the team grows, and more of your week goes to leading it.

Pre-Draft Program

• Serve as clinical lead for the APE pre-draft program each winter.
• Deliver weekly care to every athlete in the class and manage their readiness through the program.
• Supervise the program's seasonal athletic trainer.
• Be the main medical point of contact for APE's coaches, with clear communication on athlete status and what is included in their care.

Community and Relationships

• Build referral relationships with area high schools and their athletic trainers.
• Connect with club teams and youth sports organizations.
• Be a visible resource to APE members and coaches.
• Develop relationships with local physicians and other providers.
• Represent ReLab at community, school, and sporting events.

Leadership and Operations

• Recruit, train, and develop clinical staff as the clinic grows.
• Own the clinic's financial performance. Review revenue and profit each month and build the plan to grow both.
• Track weekly KPIs, including visits, new evaluations, plan of care conversion, and Access memberships, and act on what they show.
• Maintain compliance with HIPAA, OSHA, and Texas physical therapy practice standards.

Qualifications

Required

• Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) from an accredited program.
• Current Texas physical therapy license.
• At least 2 years of clinical experience in outpatient orthopedics or sports performance.
• Comfort with EMR systems and a working understanding of billing, coding, and insurance reimbursement.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to build trust with athletes, parents, coaches, and referral partners.
• Initiative and a growth mindset.

You'll Stand Out If You Have

• Board certification as a Sports Clinical Specialist (SCS) or a completed sports physical therapy residency.
• Leadership or team lead experience.
• Experience in a cash-based or hybrid practice, including membership or package-based care.
• Existing relationships with area schools, athletic trainers, club teams, or physicians.
• A track record of building a caseload from your own referral network.
• Experience with pre-draft, combine, or pro and elite athlete programs.
