Responsibilities

Copley's Foot Care Program

Copley's foot care program is a preventative care program that focuses on preventing pain, disability and infection by controlling nail, callus, corn and fungal growth. Timely and effective foot care can be the difference between maintaining independent mobility and the development of painful, unstable gait and/or infection. Physical Therapists in this program utilize their selective debridement skills to remove excess nail growth, shave calluses, cut out corns and relieve the pressure of ingrown toenails. The patients of this program are among our most loyal, often commenting about how much better they feel immediately after each session and how much they appreciate this service. The appropriate candidate enjoys hands-on care, developing long term relationships with patients, and is committed to preventative care.

Inpatient Physical Therapy

Copley provides care to inpatients with a wide range of diagnoses requiring physical therapy services to develop the mobility necessary to function in their target environments. Part of what makes Copley special is that we also are home to one of the pre-eminent orthopedic surgical centers in the region, so a major component of inpatient services is the post-surgical care of patients who have undergone total joint replacement. The appropriate candidate will be an excellent communicator and educator and be adept at helping patients learn new functional skills.

Outpatient Physical Therapy

As a rural outpatient practice, Physical Therapists in our Outpatient Clinic have to be prepared to treat a wide range of diagnoses. In our 4 outpatient clinics we provide therapy services for Orthopedic, Cardiologic, Neurological, Vestibular, Developmental and Integumentary conditions. The ideal candidate will have skills in multiple areas and enjoy the challenge of a diverse caseload.
