About this role
About Epic Physical Therapy
Epic Physical Therapy is PT-owned, which means the therapists treating patients also have a say in how the clinic is run. Owner Ryan Palkoner has 20 years of practice experience across Florida, California, and Colorado, has served as Ironman medical staff, and lectures nationally on manual release technique. He's seen enough clinics to know what makes one work well for both patients and staff. The practice puts substantial weight behind mentorship and professional development, and clinics consistently perform in the top tier nationally on patient outcomes.

Life in Highlands Ranch
Highlands Ranch puts you close to Denver's job market, dining, and nightlife (about 15-20 minutes to Denver Tech Center, 25-30 to downtown) while keeping you near the foothills for hiking, biking, and skiing access. It's quieter and more suburban than city living with a walkable town center, well-kept trails, and reliably low crime and with easy runs into Denver or Littleton when you want more action. For professionals who want mountain access without sacrificing career opportunities, it's a solid landing spot.
