Athlete Restoration Lab Physical Therapist Grapevine, TX · Full time Company website

Apply for Physical Therapist

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

About the Role

This isn't a high-volume outpatient role. You'll run your own caseload, one-on-one, with the time and autonomy to build individualized treatment plans instead of working off a productivity target. You'll be embedded day-to-day alongside athletic trainers, strength coaches, and performance staff, not siloed off in a separate clinic, so care and performance programming stay connected for the athlete.

You'll work across youth, high school, collegiate, professional, and active adult populations, treating everything from post-op recovery to return-to-sport testing to performance optimization. As you build your caseload and reputation, you'll have room to specialize, whether that's a specific sport, population, or injury type, and to bring that expertise into program development across the clinic.

• Perform comprehensive evaluations and build individualized rehab and performance plans
• Guide return-to-sport testing, progressive loading, and performance-based rehabilitation
• Collaborate daily, on-site, with athletic trainers, strength coaches, and performance staff
• Extend care beyond the clinic through hybrid and remote programming when appropriate
