The Obstacle Doc is a high-performance, cash-pay clinic in Durham. We are owner-operated and growth-obsessed. In June 2026, we are moving into a custom-built facility to better serve our community of athletes and high-performers. We operate on the principle of Kokoro—treating the heart. We don't do "rehab as usual."

What to Expect:

• Daily: You will lead 6-8 high-impact, 1-on-1 sessions. You will spend your time teaching patients about their bodies, not just clicking boxes in an EMR.
• Weekly: You will sit down with Daniela and Christopher for "Table Time"—dedicated mentorship to sharpen your manual skills and clinical reasoning.
• Monthly: You will engage in community outreach, teaching workshops at local gyms.
• Annually: You will check off milestones on your Clinical Ladder, attending Maitland and Dry Needling courses on our dime.

What You Need to be Successful:

• The "Give a Shit Factor": You care about the details. You follow up. You remember the patient's dog's name.
• A Background in Service: Whether it was waiting tables, bartending, or retail—you know how to make someone feel taken care of.
• A Teacher’s Heart: You don't just "do" PT; you explain the why so the patient becomes their own best advocate.
• Curiosity: What have you chosen to learn lately? We want people who read, listen to podcasts, and ask "why" until they find the root cause.

What You Get:

• Day 1 Starting Salary: $65,000 – $68,000 with no double booking, seeing max 23 patients a week.
• ‍Performance Bonuses: Business requires stability, and performance requires acknowledgement. Quarterly bonuses can pull your salary up to $87,000 if you see more than 24 patients weekly.‍
• The Environment: A brand-new, state-of-the-art facility and a team that actually likes each other [we love working together, we just happen to be married too]

• ‍The Clinical Ladder (Our $15k+ Investment in YOU):
  • Years 1-2: Maitland MT-1 & MT-2 + Dry Needling Level 1.
  • Years 3-4: CSCS Certification + Maitland MT-FMC.
  • Year 5+: Pathway to COMT or OCS Testing.

Next Steps:

• We value your time. Here is what happens.
  
  1. The Intro Call (Virtual 25 min): You meet with Daniela to chat about your goals and our vibe.
  2. Maggie Meter (30 min): Our awesome clinical coordinator, the person who interacts with all our patients, gets to learn who you are.‍
  3. Clinical Meeting:  Meet with Christopher and Daniela at the clinic to learn more about the company, and so they can learn about your mindset.‍
  4. The "Deep Dive" Interview: You come to the clinic, shadow two patients, do a case study review and mock evaluation.
  5. ‍The Decision: Within 72 hours of your deep dive interview, we will either make an offer or tell you why it’s not a fit.‍
  6. The Start: We are looking for a Summer 2026 start date to align with our new building opening.
