Why Join Holsman Physical Therapy: Career Opportunities Across NJ, NY & IN

Choosing where to build your therapy career is one of the most important decisions you'll make as a healthcare professional. At Holsman Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation, we've spent over two decades creating an environment where physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech-language pathologists don't just work - they thrive.

With 19+ clinic locations across New Jersey, New York, and Indiana, we offer diverse opportunities in settings ranging from bustling urban centers to welcoming suburban communities. But what truly sets Holsman apart isn't just where we are - it's who we are and how we support our clinical team every single day.

The Holsman Difference: More Than Just a Job

In an industry where therapists often feel like numbers in a corporate system, Holsman Physical Therapy takes a fundamentally different approach. We're family-owned and operated, which means decisions are made by people who understand clinical practice, not distant executives focused solely on metrics.

"We Put the Caring into Health Care" isn't just our tagline - it's our operating philosophy. This applies equally to how we treat our patients and how we support our staff. When you join Holsman, you're joining a team that genuinely cares about your professional growth, work-life balance, and long-term career satisfaction.
