Running‑Obsessed PT Wanted: Marathoners, Triathletes, and Ultrarunners Only - Bergen County

If you’re a DPT who eats, sleeps, and breathes running – long runs, tempo work, race calendars, and shoe geekery – this is the job you’ve been looking for.

If you just “like working with athletes,” don’t apply.

About Next Level Physio

Next Level Physio is a cash-based performance PT and coaching company with 4 offices in NJ and NC. Our ads, our programs, and our monthly coaching are built for one group: runners and lifelong athletes who choose to invest in performance, not gen-pop “grudge” PT.

We already have a small but committed running community and coaching arm that is spring‑loaded for growth. We’re hiring the PT who will help us blow it up.

The Role

We’re looking for a DPT who is a:

• Marathoner, triathlete, or ultramarathoner (currently training, not “used to be”)
• Runner who wants to assess runners, break down gait, and prescribe non‑traditional PT aimed at performance, not just pain
• Community builder who wants to be out at races, run clubs, and events, not hiding in a treatment room

You will:

• Perform detailed runner assessments and gait analysis
• Recommend PT and performance plans that keep runners training while fixing real problems
• Optimize performance: load management, strength, mobility, and race preparation
• Host running workshops and clinics
• Lead or support run club meetups and help organize local races / events
• Seek and nurture running partner business relationships (run shops, clubs, coaches)
• Enroll runners into our monthly online coaching program and earn revenue share on those sign‑ups

What You Get

• Top‑of‑market salary for outpatient PT (starting from $90,000/year, DOE)
• Revenue sharing on monthly online coaching clients you enroll
• 401(k), health insurance, PTO, CEU reimbursement (up to $2,000)
• A caseload focused on runners and active adults, not a random mix of post‑ops
• A team that actually understands and supports cash‑based, performance PT
• Real path to a supervisory / leadership role in our running division as we grow

Requirements

• Licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy, active in the state of New Jersey
• Minimum 2 years ortho/sports experience (exceptions case‑by‑case for strong running background)
• Personal background as a marathoner, triathlete, or ultrarunner
• Comfortable with ethical sales in a cash‑pay setting
• Comfortable with Dry Needling (or willing to become certified)
• Able to work 8‑hour shifts, including 2–3 evenings per week and rotating Saturdays (about once a month)
• Strong communication skills and a genuine desire to build community

How To Apply

Send:

1. Your resume
2. A brief note on your running / tri / ultra background (PRs, races, what you’re training for now)
3. A few sentences on why building a running community and coaching program excites you
