Physical Therapist

If you became a PT because you love movement, performance, and helping people get back to doing what they love, but you refuse to treat 12 patients a day... keep reading.

If you want a comfortable job where no one pushes you to grow, stop here. This won't be a fit.

Fort Collins, CO | Full-Time | 4-Day Workweek Option Available

You want to live where the trails start at your back door. Fort Collins sits at the base of the Rocky Mountains with immediate access to world-class trail running, climbing, cycling, and a deep athletic community. This is a city built for people who train, not just people who talk about it.

Who This Role Is Built For

This is for the clinician who:

• Loves strength training, endurance sports, climbing, or performance culture
• Gets energized by helping motivated runners and active adults
• Wants 60-minute, one-on-one sessions every time
• Is coachable and thrives on feedback
• Understands that clear communication and confident plan-of-care recommendations are part of excellent patient care
• Wants mentorship and professional growth, not stagnation
• Is excited by the idea of building something, not just maintaining status quo

Bonus points if you run, lift, or train consistently yourself. Extra bonus if you have interest in pelvic health combined with ortho.

Who This Is Not For

• Burned out and cynical
• Uncomfortable talking about money or recommending full plans of care
• Set in traditional outpatient habits
• Resistant to feedback
• Looking for an easy cruise job

We hire carefully and protect our culture.

Growth Path

We are expanding. Over the next 1 to 3 years, this role can evolve into Lead PT, program developer (youth athletes, pelvic health, performance training), or a Clinic Director track. If you want upward trajectory, it exists here.

The Culture

We train hard and hold high standards. We push each other to improve and genuinely enjoy working together. Our patients are motivated, engaged, and grateful. This is PT practiced the way it was meant to be practiced.

Hear from one of our PTs:

"I’ve been a physical therapist for 11 years, and for the past 4 years at Up and Running, I’ve truly found the perfect blend of doing what I love with people I genuinely enjoy working alongside. Every day, I get to help active adults and motivated patients who are passionate about staying healthy and continuing to do the things they love. I value being able to share my years of experience and personal passion as a runner to better connect with and guide the athletes I work with as well. Being part of a team that shares those same values has made this more than just a job. It is exactly where I want to be."
