Mobile Physical Therapist – Independent Contractor (1099)

Build a mobile physical therapy caseload that works with your life—and practice PT beyond the traditional episode of care.

Live Your Life is seeking an experienced, Florida-licensed physical therapist to provide personalized, one-on-one care in clients’ homes and communities throughout Palm Beach County.

We are an established mobile healthcare company providing rehabilitation, prevention, wellness, and long-term health and mobility services outside the traditional clinic setting.

Our Florida practice operates on a private-pay model, allowing physical therapists to focus on thoughtful, individualized care without insurance authorizations, unit-based billing, or a rushed clinic schedule.

This flexible independent-contractor opportunity may be an excellent fit if you want to supplement another position, gradually build a caseload, or have greater control over when, where, and how much you work.

Why Physical Therapists Choose This Model

Practice at the top of your PT skill set.

This is not a high-volume clinic environment. You have the opportunity to use clinical reasoning, assess the whole person, and address the factors affecting a client’s movement and function rather than focusing only on a diagnosis or body part.

Spend meaningful one-on-one time with clients.

Understand each person’s goals, daily routines, home environment, activity level, family support, and barriers to remaining active and independent. Working where clients actually live provides insight that can be difficult to obtain in a traditional clinic.

Build long-term professional relationships.

Our model allows physical therapists to work with clients across different stages of health and function—from rehabilitation and recovery to prevention, wellness, and maintaining independence.

You may help someone recover from surgery, transition into a wellness program, and continue supporting that person as they work to maintain strength, mobility, and function over time.

Focus on prevention and healthy aging.

Physical therapists have an important role before a major decline occurs.

Through wellness services and Annual Physical Therapy Wellness Visits, you may identify changes in balance, strength, gait, endurance, mobility, physical activity, and function before they become larger problems.

Measure what matters.

Establish meaningful functional baselines and help clients understand how their physical abilities are changing over time.

Rather than simply asking, “How do you feel?” you can help clients objectively understand their strength, balance, walking ability, endurance, mobility, and overall function.

Create a plan—not just a treatment program.

Recommendations may extend beyond traditional physical therapy and include exercise, wellness physical therapy, personal training, community programs, home modifications, caregiver education, or referral to another healthcare professional.

Help people continue living the lives they want.

The goal is not simply improving a test score or completing an episode of care.

It is helping someone continue walking, traveling, golfing, gardening, exercising, caring for a spouse, participating in the community, living safely at home, or doing whatever is personally meaningful to them.

 

Who You May Work With

Your caseload may include adults with a wide range of goals, health conditions, and levels of function.

You may work with:

  • Adults recovering from orthopedic injuries, surgery, illness, or hospitalization
  • Individuals experiencing changes in strength, balance, walking, endurance, or mobility
  • People managing neurological, musculoskeletal, cardiopulmonary, or other chronic health conditions
  • Active adults who want to maintain or improve physical performance
  • Individuals seeking to prevent decline and remain independent as they age
  • Clients transitioning from rehabilitation into ongoing wellness and exercise
  • Individuals preparing for surgery or returning to activity afterward
  • Clients who benefit from fall-prevention, home-safety, caregiver, or mobility recommendations
  • Adults completing Annual Physical Therapy Wellness Visits to establish a functional baseline and proactively monitor health and mobility
  • Individuals whose primary goal is simply to continue doing the activities that are important to them

Every client is different. Some may require rehabilitation. Others may be highly active and focused on prevention, wellness, or performance. Still others may want help maintaining function and independence over the long term.

That variety is an important part of the Live Your Life model.

 

What You’ll Do

  • Perform comprehensive physical therapy evaluations in clients’ homes and communities
  • Develop individualized plans based on each client’s goals, health status, environment, and functional needs
  • Provide personalized, one-on-one physical therapy
  • Address strength, balance, mobility, endurance, safety, function, and other identified needs
  • Develop practical home exercise and wellness programs
  • Educate clients, families, and caregivers
  • Perform Annual Physical Therapy Wellness Visits when appropriate
  • Establish functional baselines and monitor changes over time
  • Make recommendations for wellness services, exercise, equipment, community resources, or other healthcare professionals when appropriate
  • Communicate with families, referral sources, and members of the client’s healthcare team
  • Complete accurate and timely documentation in Jane
     

What This Opportunity Offers

  • True one-on-one care
  • Flexibility to build a caseload around your existing schedule
  • Control over the clients, geographic areas, and opportunities you accept
  • Private-pay care without insurance authorizations or unit-based billing
  • Time to evaluate the whole person rather than one body part
  • Opportunities to practice rehabilitation, prevention, and wellness
  • Long-term relationships with clients and families
  • The ability to follow clients beyond a traditional episode of care
  • Administrative support without being tied to a clinic schedule
  • Opportunities to expand your caseload as our Florida practice grows
     

Required Qualifications

  • Clinical Doctorate Degree in Physical Therapy from an accredited program
  • Current Florida physical therapist license in good standing
  • At least 10 years of experience working with the geriatric population
  • Current American Physical Therapy Association membership
  • Home-based or mobile-care experience
  • Current CPR certification
  • Strong independent clinical judgment
  • Ability to use electronic documentation
  • Reliable transportation for travel to clients’ homes and communities
  • Board certification as a Geriatric, Neurologic, Orthopaedic, or other relevant Clinical Specialist is preferred.
     

Cancellations

When a client cancels less than 24 hours before a scheduled visit, you will be compensated at the applicable visit rate. Visits canceled more than 24 hours in advance are not compensated.
 

Build the Kind of Physical Therapy Practice You Want

Join an established mobile-care company while building a caseload that supports both your professional goals and your life.

At Live Your Life, you can do more than treat an episode of care. You can help clients recover, prevent decline, monitor their function, remain active, and continue participating in the lives they value.

Practice physical therapy before something goes wrong—and be there when your clients need you afterward, too.
