• Conducting thorough evaluations for patients in both inpatient and outpatient settings, creating tailored treatment plans to suit individual needs.
• Implementing specialized physical therapy interventions focusing on enhancing mobility, strength, balance, and overall functionality.
• Collaborating with a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals, including nurses and physicians, to achieve optimal patient outcomes.

• Meticulously documenting assessments and treatment progress in line with regulatory standards and facility-specific protocols.
• Engaging in team collaborations during rounds and clinical discussions to ensure comprehensive and coordinated patient care.

To join us, you'll need:

• A Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT) or a similar accredited degree.
• Valid state licensure as a Physical Therapist, with CPR certification being a preferred asset.
• While specialized certifications in areas such as neurology or geriatrics are advantageous, they are not mandatory.

The rewards are immeasurable, as your contributions lead to transformational changes in your patients' lives. We are seeking those who resonate with a deep understanding that movement is indeed a form of medicine, and that the smallest steps toward recovery are just as important as the bold leaps.
