Physical Therapist

LMR Technical Group (LMR) is seeking a Physical Therapist to join our team at Moody AFB, Georgia.

A-10s today. F-35As on the horizon. Your job is to keep the human performance behind the aircraft mission ready.

This is not traditional Physical Therapy.

At Moody AFB in South Georgia, you will work within the fighter community, supporting Air Force aircrew whose bodies absorb the physical demands of combat aviation and still must be ready for the next sortie.

Moody’s 23d Fighter Group operates two combat ready A-10C squadrons today, while the base prepares for a proposed transition to the F-35A and the next generation of the Flying Tiger mission.

That puts you in a rare position.

You are not watching a fighter mission evolve. You are part of the human performance team helping its aircrew evolve with it.

Your clinical judgment can help a pilot move better, recover faster, stay resilient, and remain ready when the mission calls.

And your life outside the gate? Valdosta, Georgia. South Georgia living, warm weather, and a completely different pace from the traditional military medical setting.

If you are already comfortable in your career, good.

We are not asking you to leave it based on a job posting.

Take the interview.

Hear the mission. Meet the team. See where Moody is headed. Then decide whether you want to be part of it.

Most Physical Therapists will never get this close to fighter aviation.

You could help write its next chapter.
