About Us:

At CJ Physical Therapy & Pilates, we’re not your typical PT clinic. We’re a cash-based, high-performing, and people-first team located in downtown Portsmouth, NH.

We specialize in helping adults 40+ stay active, mobile, and pain-free - without pills, procedures, or surgery. Our approach blends Mechanical Diagnosis & Therapy (MDT), Pilates-based rehab, and cutting-edge regenerative technologies like Shockwave and EMTT to deliver unmatched results.

We’re growing fast - and ready to take this business to the next level. That means building a world-class Physical Therapy Department that fuels our expanding Regenerative Medicine and Longevity programs - and we need a Clinical Director to make that happen.

• Take ownership of the recruitment, hiring, onboarding, and training of PTs and support staff.
• Develop clear standards, systems, and SOPs that ensure consistent, world-class outcomes.
