You became a PT because you love helping people move, perform, and get back to the sports that matter to them. But somewhere between the 15-minute slots, the double-booking, and the mountains of paperwork, it started feeling like that wasn't really what you were doing anymore.
You don't want an easy job. You want the right job — one where the standard is high, the patients are motivated, and the team around you makes you better.
This is not a traditional physical therapy role — and it's not meant to be. At The Movement Schopp, we're building clinicians into leaders. Not just treating patients, but developing careers with real growth, ownership, and long-term upside.
If you want to grow fast, be challenged, and earn your advancement — keep reading.
Why We Built This Place
Dr. William Schopp started The Movement Schopp with three things in mind. First, make the old model of PT obsolete — no more rushed visits, no more band-aid solutions. Second, build it with really great people. And third, create an awesome life for everyone in it.
We are a fitness-forward, cash-based clinic focused on optimizing human performance for everyday athletes — now with two locations, in Torrance and Laguna Niguel. No insurance headaches, no bureaucracy — just high-quality care and a team that holds each other to a high standard.
That's The Movement Schopp. And that's what you'd be walking into.

What the Day-to-Day Actually Looks Like
Our clinics are built for performance work. No cubicles, no curtained-off tables. You'll treat CrossFitters, Hyrox competitors, runners, and golfers — people who train hard and want a clinician who gets it.
Learning is part of the culture here, not an afterthought. Weekly case reviews, honest feedback, and a team that wants to see you grow.
As a Performance Physical Therapist, you will:
- Deliver 1-on-1 care at 6–8 patients per day — never rushed, never double-booked
- Lead 60-minute evaluations and follow-up sessions with performance-minded patients
- Guide patients back to pain-free, high-level performance using active, hands-on treatment
- Build full plans of care and communicate them clearly to each patient
- Work within a fitness-forward, movement-based treatment model
- Collaborate closely with a high-performing, tightly-knit clinical team
- Contribute to weekly case reviews and team learning sessions

Your First 100 Days: The Resident Ramp
We don't throw you into the deep end — we build you up fast. New clinicians go through a structured onboarding period designed to get you to full caseload with confidence, not just speed.
Structured Onboarding
Mentorship and clinical shadowing from day one. Learn the TMS model the right way.
Gradual Caseload Ramp
Your schedule fills intentionally. Compensation scales as your caseload grows.
Clear Milestones
Defined benchmarks to unlock full role, benefits, and advancement. No guesswork.
Full Caseload
Top performers have reached full caseload in as little as 2 months.
"This isn't a clinic where you clock in, see your patients, and go home without talking to anyone. We talk, we challenge each other, and we make each other better. If that's the kind of environment you want to work in — this is it."
The Full Package
We built this role to be genuinely competitive — not just on salary, but on everything that makes a job worth having long-term. The same package applies at both locations.
Who We're Looking For
This role is built for clinicians who want more than just a job. You're a strong fit if you:
- Are a licensed Physical Therapist in California
- Hold a current CPR Certification
- Have a fitness background — CrossFit, running, golf, or similar (strongly preferred)
- Think critically, treat actively, and aren't satisfied with passive modalities
- Take ownership of your performance — you track it, you own it
- Want to grow into leadership, not stay stagnant
- Thrive in a collaborative, high-accountability team environment
