Heal, Grow, and Thrive: A Physical Therapist Opportunity in the Heart of Horse Country
There’s something about Central Kentucky that feels like a heartbeat. Rolling bluegrass fields stretch toward the horizon, their edges framed by white fences and centuries-old oaks. This is a place where community still means something — where neighbors wave, stories are passed across porches, and life moves to a quieter, deeper rhythm.
If you’re a passionate Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) ready to do work that matters, here’s your chance to join a thriving healthcare team deeply connected to the people and traditions that make this region special. We’re searching for a Physical Therapist who blends clinical excellence with heartfelt compassion — someone who sees rehabilitation not just as a science, but as an art of restoring hope.
As a Physical Therapist here, you’ll work one-on-one with patients recovering from surgery, injury, and chronic conditions, empowering them to reclaim their mobility, independence, and joy. You’ll develop personalized treatment plans, deliver evidence-based therapies, and partner with a multidisciplinary team that values innovation and integrity.
From post-operative rehabilitation to injury prevention education, every session is a chance to change a life. You'll be encouraged to think creatively, to advocate fiercely, and to celebrate every small victory with your patients and their families. With access to state-of-the-art equipment and ongoing professional development, your practice will flourish — and so will you.
When you join us, you’re not stepping into a job — you’re joining a family. Our team believes in lifting each other up, sharing wisdom, and finding joy in the day-to-day work of healing. We foster a culture of mentorship and collaboration, where your ideas are welcomed and your growth is nurtured.
And then there’s the location: set in the lush heart of Kentucky, this is a region that feeds the soul. Spend your weekends hiking the shaded trails of Raven Run Nature Sanctuary, exploring the historic bourbon distilleries of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, or simply savoring farm-to-table meals crafted from the region’s rich agricultural bounty. Horse farms dot the landscape like living postcards, and there's no better place to experience the tradition of Thoroughbred racing than Keeneland, where the energy of a race day is a thrill like no other.
Whether you're cheering for the Wildcats at a college basketball game, browsing the charming shops of downtown, or fishing along the serene banks of the Kentucky River, life here moves at the perfect pace — slow enough to savor, rich enough to inspire.
We’re looking for a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) who’s fully licensed (or license-eligible) in Kentucky. A year or two of outpatient or acute care experience is a plus, but new graduates with a passion for patient-centered care are also encouraged to apply.
You’ll fit right in if you believe that listening is as important as diagnosing, that perseverance is as crucial as knowledge, and that a little laughter can be just as healing as exercise. Compassion, resilience, a drive for continuous learning — these are your superpowers.
If you’re eager to build genuine relationships, to innovate your practice with the latest techniques, and to make a lasting mark on your community, you’ll find your people here.
We value your expertise, your energy, and your heart — and we believe your compensation should reflect that. As a Physical Therapist in Central Kentucky, you can expect a base salary ranging from $78,000 to $95,000, depending on experience, credentials, and setting. Higher earning potential is available for those with specialized certifications or leadership experience.
In addition to a rewarding salary, we offer a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(k) with employer match, generous paid time off, and support for continuing education and professional growth. Flexible scheduling helps you maintain a healthy work-life balance, and you’ll have access to mentorship, state-of-the-art equipment, and a workplace culture that genuinely cares.
But perhaps the most meaningful benefit? Working in a place where your contributions matter — not just to your employer, but to the whole community.
There’s a reason people fall in love with this place and never want to leave. Central Kentucky is a region that surprises you with its sophistication, charms you with its hospitality, and inspires you with its natural beauty.
Lexington is often called the "Horse Capital of the World," but it’s more than just picturesque pastures. It’s home to a thriving arts scene, renowned universities, vibrant music festivals, and some of the best dining in the South. Think bourbon-glazed everything, but also inventive farm-to-table fare, buzzing farmers' markets, and cozy coffee shops that know your name after one visit.
Just a short drive from Red River Gorge (a mecca for rock climbers, hikers, and adventurers), Central Kentucky offers outdoor enthusiasts a playground of cliffs, caves, waterfalls, and lush forests. The cost of living is affordable, the schools are excellent, and the sense of community is real and enduring.
Here, you don’t have to choose between career fulfillment and quality of life. You can have both — in abundance.
If you’re ready to bring your passion for healing to a place where your work is valued, your team feels like family, and your surroundings feed your spirit, we want to meet you.
Join us in a region where every sunrise over the misty pastures feels like a promise, where your skills make a difference every day, and where your next great chapter is waiting to be written.
Apply today — and let’s start building something meaningful, together.
