Physical Therapist — Tennis &/or Golf Specialist

Precision Physical Therapy | Clayton, MO

Build your career around the work you love.

If you love tennis and/or golf and want to spend more of your clinical day helping people stay active in their sport, this role was built for that.

You’ll work with tennis and pickleball players, golfers, and other active adults whose goals require strength, mobility, coordination, and the ability to produce and control rotational movement.

We’re looking for a physical therapist with a strong foundation in movement assessment and a genuine interest in tennis and/or golf. You don’t need to already be a specialist in both sports. We’re looking for someone who understands the demands of the sport they love and wants to keep developing their expertise.

You’ll have direct mentorship, continuing education support, regular clinical collaboration, and opportunities to build your presence within these active communities.

About Precision

Precision Physical Therapy is an independent, private-pay physical therapy practice in Clayton, Missouri.

We help active people move better, stay active, and keep doing what they love. Our patients include athletes and active adults who aren't simply looking to get out of pain—they want to get back to the activities and sports that matter to them.

Our approach is grounded in movement assessment, clinical reasoning, and individualized care. We look beyond just symptoms to understand how someone moves, what may be contributing to their problem, and what they need to return confidently to their activity. 

An environment built for great clinical work

Time to provide thoughtful care.
Every visit is 60 minutes, one-on-one. You’ll have time to assess movement thoroughly, understand the demands of your patient's sport, explain what you’re seeing, and provide individualized care. A full caseload is approximately 32 patients per week.

Work with athletes who want to keep playing.
You’ll work with tennis and pickleball players, golfers, and other active adults who want to get out of pain, improve their movement, and stay active in the sports they enjoy.

Grow into the specialist you want to become.
Bring a strong foundation in movement assessment and an interest in tennis and/or golf. We’ll support your continued development through mentorship, clinical collaboration, and continuing education.

Go beyond getting someone out of pain.
Help patients build the mobility, strength, control, and capacity they need to return to the court or course and keep playing.

A team that learns together.
We regularly talk through cases, challenge each other’s thinking, and continue developing our skills as clinicians.

• Provide 60-minute, one-on-one physical therapy visits.

• Assess movement in the context of each patient's sport and goals.
