In this role, you will engage with patients in either inpatient or outpatient settings, meticulously evaluating their needs and crafting individualized treatment plans tailored to their unique circumstances. Your expertise will enable you to implement interventions that focus on mobility, strength, balance, and overall function. Collaboration is key - work closely with nurses, physicians, case managers, and other rehabilitation professionals to optimize outcomes and achieve success stories. Educating patients and their families on therapeutic goals, discharge planning, and home exercises will be an integral part of your role.
