APPRENTICESHIP
We empower new and early graduates to successfully bridge the gap between academic knowledge and clinical practice, setting them up for a fulfilling and lasting career.
1-Year Professional Apprenticeship:
The Foundation for Your Future
For New & Early Grads Ready to Lead the Field
At Fix It Physical Therapy, we don’t just offer a job; we offer a career launchpad. Most early-career clinicians spend their first year "surviving" the transition from classroom to clinic. We’ve designed a 365-day immersion program that ensures you accelerate instead of just "getting by."
By joining our Apprenticeship, you are ensuring that the expertise, mentorship, and clinical tools you need are always available as you navigate the challenges of your first year in the field.
Why This is the Ultimate "Head Start" for Every Specialty
Whether your passion lies in Sports Medicine, Outpatient, Neurological Rehab, Orthopedics, Pelvic Health, or Pediatrics, our program is designed to solve the universal problems every new grad faces: clinical uncertainty, patient retention, and career burnout.
1. Mastery of the F.A.S.T Approach™
Standard schooling teaches you the what; we teach you the how. Our proprietary F.A.S.T Approach™ is a universal framework for the movement system that applies across all specialties. You will gain a cutting-edge methodology that sets you apart from your peers and delivers consistent, high-level results from day one.
2. Expert Guidance as Your Safety Net
You are never on an island. Our experienced clinicians provide a continuous feedback loop. Having this mentorship "on tap" means that when you encounter a complex case or a difficult patient interaction, you have the expert guidance ready to help you navigate it with confidence.
3. Real-World Business Intelligence
The biggest gap in PT school is the "business of care." We teach you how to build a sustainable clientele—the soft skills, communication, and rapport-building necessary to turn a first-time patient into a lifelong advocate. This is the engine of your financial and professional growth.
4. Personalized Development (Personal, Professional, & Financial)
We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all career. We work with you to create a Personalized Development Plan that aligns your daily work with your long-term aspirations. Whether you want to open your own practice, specialize further, or achieve specific financial milestones, we provide the roadmap to get there.
The "Competitive Edge" Guarantee
Choosing this Apprenticeship means you aren't just gaining a year of experience—you are gaining five years of clinical wisdom compressed into twelve months.
Networking: Immediate access to a high-level professional circle.
Excellence: A culture that demands more because we know you are capable of more.
Availability: Constant access to the tools you need to solve any movement limitation.
