About Physiophyx Physical Therapy
Physiophyx Physical Therapy is a growing, independently owned physical therapy practice located in Saginaw, Texas, serving North Fort Worth, Haslet, and surrounding communities.
Our mission is simple:
Help active adults and athletes overcome pain, move better, get stronger, and return to the activities they love—without unnecessary surgery, relying on pain medication, or giving up their active lifestyles.
We're not your typical outpatient physical therapy clinic.
Our practice is predominantly cash-based, with a strong emphasis on individualized, results-driven care.
We believe physical therapists should have the freedom, time, and resources to actually make a difference.
That's why our model is built around 60-minute, one-on-one treatment sessions with a Doctor of Physical Therapy.
No double-booking. No assembly-line treatments. No cookie-cutter rehabilitation.
We work with active adults, athletes, gym-goers, runners, weightlifters, and individuals who value their health and are motivated to get back to doing what they love.
Our approach combines advanced clinical reasoning, hands-on treatment, progressive strength training, movement analysis, dry needling, shockwave therapy, and performance-based rehabilitation.
We don't just want patients to get out of pain.
We want them to become stronger, more resilient, and more confident in their bodies than before.
And we're looking for physical therapists who share that vision.
What Makes This Opportunity Different?
1. REAL One-on-One Patient Care
Spend a full 60 minutes with your patient, uninterrupted.
You'll have the opportunity to thoroughly evaluate, treat, educate, and progress your patients without the pressure of managing multiple patients simultaneously.
2. Work With Active, Motivated Patients
Our patients want to return to lifting, running, CrossFit, sports, and living active lives.
You'll work with people who are invested in their recovery and value high-quality physical therapy.
3. Become an Exceptional Clinician
We believe great clinicians never stop learning.
You'll have opportunities to develop your expertise in sports rehabilitation, advanced movement assessment, manual therapy, dry needling, strength programming, and performance-based care.
We value mentorship, collaboration, continuing education, and clinical growth.
4. Clinical Autonomy and Ownership
We want physical therapists who THINK.
You'll have the freedom to use your clinical judgment, create individualized treatment plans, and take ownership of patient outcomes.
We don't believe in treating every patient with the same protocol.
5. Grow With the Company
We're building more than a physical therapy clinic.
We're building a team, a culture, and a company with long-term opportunities.
As Physiophyx expands, we're looking for clinicians who may want to grow into roles involving clinical leadership, mentorship, specialty program development, and practice management.
6. A Culture That Values Excellence
We believe in doing the right thing, delivering exceptional patient experiences, and constantly finding ways to improve.
We want teammates who challenge themselves, welcome feedback, support each other, and celebrate results.
7. Quality Over Volume
Our goal is to create a sustainable clinical environment where therapists can focus on delivering outstanding care without the constant pressure of high-volume treatment.
8. Make a REAL Impact
Imagine helping someone return to a sport they thought they'd never play again, complete their first marathon, or finally lift without pain.
That's the kind of impact we want our clinicians to make every day.
Who We're Looking For

Sports Physical Therapist Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a sports physical therapist in Texas?
You must earn a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from an accredited program and pass the National Physical Therapy Examination, then obtain a license through the Texas State Board of Physical Therapy Examiners before practicing in Texas. Most Texas employers also expect experience or clinical rotations with athletic populations. Pursuing board certification as a Sports Clinical Specialist through the American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties strengthens your candidacy considerably.
How much do sports physical therapists make in Texas?
Sports physical therapists in Texas earn a median of about $105,810 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $76,600 for the lowest 10% to over $139,050 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire sports physical therapists in Texas?
Employers hiring sports physical therapists in Texas right now include Theravolve, OrthoLoneStar, and Hendrick Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Texas's concentration of professional sports franchises, NCAA Division I athletic programs, and large orthopedic hospital systems creates consistent hiring demand across both metro and suburban markets.
Which Texas cities have the most sports physical therapist jobs?
Houston, Abilene, and The Woodlands have the most sports physical therapist openings in Texas. Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth dominate because of their large hospital systems, professional sports teams, and dense orthopedic clinic networks, while Austin's growing tech workforce and expanding university sports programs have made it an increasingly active market for sports rehabilitation roles.
Are there remote sports physical therapist jobs in Texas?
Yes, but they're rare. Sports physical therapy is a hands-on clinical role that requires direct patient contact for evaluation, manual treatment, and functional testing, so fully remote positions are uncommon. About 25% of sports physical therapist openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those roles tend to be in telehealth triage, injury consultation, or remote program design rather than primary clinical care.
How can I get hired as a sports physical therapist in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to a post-professional sports physical therapy residency, with programs available through institutions like Texas Health Resources and UT Southwestern Medical Center that are structured for new graduates. Entry-level aide, physical therapy technician, or athletic training assistant roles at Texas orthopedic clinics or university athletic departments can also bridge the gap. Completing clinical rotations with a sports focus and pursuing your Sports Clinical Specialist certification early signals commitment to Texas employers.
Where can I find and apply to sports physical therapist jobs in Texas?
You can find and apply to sports physical therapist jobs in Texas on Migrate Mate, which lists current Texas openings across hospital systems, orthopedic clinics, and sports medicine practices. Find the roles that fit your experience and specialty area and apply directly.
