Location: Delray Beach, FL
Pay: $95,000–$105,000/year

This is not a PT mill. You won't see 20–30 patients a day. You'll see about 8, every one of them one-on-one, with no double booking and no aides running your plan of care. And you'll be mentored by OCS and FAAOMPT clinicians while you do it.
Pinnacle Movement & Performance is a private sports medicine and performance practice headquartered in Delray Beach. We serve active adults, athletes, kids and seniors. Most of our patients are cash-pay, which means your clinical judgment drives treatment, not insurance visit caps.

- $95,000–$105,000 salary
- About 8 patients/day, all 1-on-1, in a relaxed private setting
- Mentorship from OCS and FAAOMPT staff
- $1,000 annual CEU reimbursement
- 15 days PTO plus standard holidays off
- Real clinical autonomy and a voice in how the practice grows
- Advanced tools, including shockwave therapy (ESWT)
- A growing practice with expansion underway, with room to grow into leadership or a specialty niche
- An unmatched team culture that's fun, non-traditional and supportive
What you'll do
- Evaluate and treat orthopedic, sports, neuromuscular and neurological conditions
- Build and progress individualized plans of care, with timely documentation
- Educate patients and families, and communicate with referring providers
- Help with community workshops and events (equestrian, athletic and wellness groups)
What we're looking for
- Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) from an accredited program
- Active Florida PT license in good standing
- 2+ years of outpatient or private practice experience
- Current CPR certification and valid driver's license
- Strong people skills and a genuine interest in building patient relationships
Bonus points for: SCS, OCS or ATC; dry needling, BFR, spinal manipulation or Graston certification
Move Better. Feel Better. If that's how you want to practice, apply today.

Sports Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a sports professional in Florida?
The path depends on your specialty within sports. Athletic trainers must hold an active license from the Florida Board of Athletic Training, which requires an accredited degree program and passage of the BOC exam. Sports management and front-office roles typically require a bachelor's degree in sports management or a related field. Coaches at schools regulated by the Florida High School Athletic Association must meet FHSAA certification standards, including background screening and required training modules.
Which companies hire sports professionals in Florida?
Companies currently hiring sports professionals in Florida include Boys & Girls Clubs of America, Tampa Metropolitan Area YMCA, and Amazing Athletes, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Florida's mix of professional franchises, Division I universities, and major resort operators means hiring comes from a broader range of employer types than most states.
Which Florida cities have the most sports jobs?
Miami, Jacksonville, and Orlando lead Florida for sports job openings. Miami anchors the market with multiple professional franchises and a large sports medicine corridor, while Orlando's theme park and resort infrastructure drives strong demand in recreation and sports event operations, and Tampa's sports and entertainment complex supports consistent hiring across athletic training, venue management, and front-office roles.
Are there remote sports jobs in Florida?
Yes, but they're rare. Most sports roles require on-site presence for practice facilities, games, or patient care. About 9% of sports openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those positions are largely concentrated in areas like sports analytics, digital marketing for sports organizations, and sports media production rather than hands-on athletic or medical roles.
How can I get hired as a sports professional in Florida with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry point is an internship or practicum with a Florida university athletic department or a minor league affiliate, since programs at institutions like the University of Florida, Florida State University, and University of Miami regularly place students and recent graduates in working roles. Entry-level positions in game-day operations, equipment management, or sports medicine aide roles at AdventHealth or Orlando Health sport rehab locations are also accessible to candidates who hold a relevant degree or are close to completing their BOC exam. Volunteering with Florida High School Athletic Association events builds a verifiable local record quickly.
Where can I find and apply to sports jobs in Florida?
