Before you apply, take an honest look at the list below and ask yourself if any of this sounds like you right now:
- Tired of seeing 12–20+ patients a day? Do you want to treat active people for a full, uninterrupted hour instead?
- Wish you spent more time with your clients and less time on insurance paperwork?
- Starting to feel burnt out already — after working so hard to earn your degree?
- Want more time and mentorship to master your craft, on your own terms?
- Truly passionate about sports physical therapy and making a difference in people’s lives… and wish you had the freedom and autonomy to actually do it?
- Looking to take a real leap in your clinical skills and expand your knowledge in orthopedic physical therapy?
- A motivated clinician who wants to build their own caseload instead of being handed someone else’s schedule?
- Looking for a collaborative, supportive community of practitioners who appreciate and value what you bring?
If you found yourself nodding along to one or more of those, this independent contractor opportunity might be exactly what you’re looking for.
Our Mission & Vision
The Perfect Squat was founded in 2021 with a mission to give active adults and adolescents in the Indianapolis area expert physical therapy and exercise training so they can get back to the workouts and sports they love — without surgery, without stopping the activities they care about, and without relying on pain medication. We’ve built trusted relationships with gyms and fitness facilities across Indy who refer their members and clients to us.
We are a performance-based physical therapy practice built on the belief that the best care comes from expert clinicians who are given the autonomy to practice the way they were trained to — not rushed, not micromanaged, and not buried in paperwork. We treat the whole person and the cause of pain, not just the symptom.
Our vision is to build a thriving community of independent, expert therapists — each running their own caseload on their own schedule — united by a shared passion for collaboration, continued growth, and client wellness. We believe sports performance and physical therapy are about living your best life, and that includes the clinicians who practice here.
Life is short. Don’t put your happiness on hold for a practice that doesn’t support your growth or respect your time.
What Makes This Opportunity Different
As an independent contractor with The Perfect Squat, you control how you practice:
- See a reasonable caseload: most of our contractors build a schedule of 6–8 clients a day, so you go home energized instead of drained. You decide what caseload is right for you.
- Full 60-minute sessions: spend a full, uninterrupted hour one-on-one with each client. We never double-book your calendar for you.
- Motivated clients: work with active adults and athletes who are highly motivated to get back to exercising pain-free.
- Set your own schedule: manage your own time away — no approval process, no one tracking your hours.
- Simple documentation: keep it simple so you’re not taking paperwork home with you.
- Unlimited earning potential: grow your own caseload and your reputation as a sought-after specialist in the Indy active-adult community.
- Full spectrum care: treat from injury rehab to fitness and wellness.
- Optional mentorship: plug into peer case collaboration and mentorship whenever you want — never mandatory.
- Like-minded community: join positive, motivated practitioners who collaborate rather than compete.
- Comfortable culture: dress for the work you do — professional athleisure, not a corporate dress code.
- Practice real PT: physical therapy, not fighting insurance companies — we’re 100% out-of-network.
Who Thrives Here
- Someone genuinely passionate about physical therapy who wants to make a real difference in people’s lives.
- Someone who wants to practice outside the traditional outpatient-clinic model.
- Someone who wants access to collaboration and mentorship — seasoned clinicians who can further sharpen their practice and skill sets.
- Someone who wants to grow their own practice and reputation as part of an innovative, fast-growing contractor community where ideas are welcomed.
- Someone who wants a small-clinic feel, with continuing-education opportunities, minus the burnout and red tape.
- Someone who is flexible and open to change as our community continues to grow and evolve.
- Someone interested in blending strength and conditioning into their practice — our wellness membership keeps clients coming back.
- Someone who wants to combine sports physical therapy, injury prevention, and performance training to deliver the highest level of results.
- Someone looking for the flexibility to practice physical therapy in a variety of roles, on their own terms.

Changing the Game
Setting a new standard for physical therapy that isn’t dictated by insurance companies.
“The most valuable aspect of working at The Perfect Squat is that I am known and valued as an autonomous expert practitioner contributing my gifts and talents alongside a team of other skilled clinicians and, together, provide a trustworthy, holistic product to a client who is desperate for solutions. Built on trust, the TPS environment at its core upholds a basic tenet of human flourishing: that individuals can come together as a team of clinicians to uphold and aid the wellbeing of those we serve precisely by sacrificing for, learning from and celebrating with each other. TPS is proof that both the individual and the team can flourish as they work towards a common mission.”
