Physical Therapist / PT

Encompass Health is seeking a dedicated Physical Therapist (PT) to join our Healthcare & Medical Services team within our inpatient rehabilitation setting. As a key member of a multidisciplinary care team, you will deliver high-quality, evidence-based physical therapy services to adult and geriatric patients recovering from stroke, neurological disorders, orthopedic conditions, trauma, and complex medical events. In this role, you will be responsible for evaluating patients, developing individualized treatment plans, and implementing therapeutic interventions that restore function, improve mobility, reduce pain, and promote long-term independence. You will perform comprehensive assessments, set measurable functional goals in collaboration with patients and families, and provide ongoing education to patients, caregivers, and team members regarding safe mobility, use of assistive devices, and home exercise programs. Working closely with physicians, nurses, occupational therapists, speech therapists, case managers, and other rehabilitation professionals, you will actively participate in interdisciplinary team conferences, contribute to discharge planning, and ensure continuity of care from admission through transition to home or another level of care.

At Encompass Health, you will practice in a nurturing, dynamic, and rewarding work environment that is strongly focused on high-quality, patient-centered care. You will be expected to maintain accurate, timely clinical documentation, meet regulatory and accreditation standards, and support quality improvement initiatives, outcome tracking, and best-practice protocols. The ideal candidate brings strong clinical reasoning, excellent communication skills, and a passion for motivating patients through often challenging phases of recovery. You will utilize therapeutic exercise, gait and balance training, neuromuscular re-education, manual therapy, and functional mobility training to maximize each patient’s rehabilitation potential. This position offers opportunities for professional growth through continuing education, mentorship, and exposure to a wide range of clinical diagnoses in an acute inpatient rehabilitation environment. If you are a licensed Physical Therapist who thrives in a collaborative team and wants to make a meaningful difference in the lives of patients and families, Encompass Health offers a rewarding career path with the support, resources, and clinical autonomy to help you excel.
