WORK THE FULL ARC, FROM POST-OP TO RETURN TO SPORT
Remember why you became a PT in the first place? It’s that feeling when a new client walks in, and you get a full hour to learn about them and their goals. One is a field and court athlete who wants to rebuild strength, movement, and function after that sickening pop and the surgery that followed. Another is a runner who wants to race faster, stronger, without that knawing hip tightness or IT band pain. And there’s also that skier, who feels alive on the mountain chasing the freedom slopes bring and building strength. You build the plan that gets each of them there.
Every plan you build is based on evidence and the three pillars of Modern PT: Evaluation, Education, and Exercise. Every Follow Up is 45 minutes, one on one with your client. You educate, guide, and empower them to get stronger week by week.
Plus, you’ll specialize in the lower kinetic chain from day one. Your mentor will be our practice founder, Danielle Sartori, PT, DPT, CSCS.
Your week will be 40 hours in our open practice with a full gym. Time for your notes is built into your day. That way, your life outside has room to grow too.
If you can see yourself here, we’d love for you to apply and join the JOUR-KNEE!

Three Pillars of Modern PT
60 minutes to assess and reason through the case, set goals, and build the plan of care with your client.
Clients leave knowing what’s happening in their body and why the home exercise program works.
Evidence based exercise programs and access to our full open gym space during their plan of care integrates each client’s program into their lifestyle.
How We Practice
Sixty minute evaluations and forty five minute follow ups. That structure protects your productive time with clients, keeps caseloads manageable, and allows the plan of care to be driven by the client in front of you.
Continuity of care allows you and your client to notice improvements faster and realign for better long term outcomes sooner.
We operate on a cash-pay, and Medicare and Medicare Advantage hybrid model, and we work in an open practice space where collaborative plans of care lead.
