We are looking for someone to join our family, not just our team.We want a full-time, long-term, Physical Therapy Clinic Director Superstar who can provide support to us as we solve medical mysteries and treat difficult diagnoses in patients who feel hopeless and overwhelmed because conventional medicine has failed to find a cause or cure for their symptoms. Based on performance, your role will rapidly grow within our company to include hybrid clinical & admin roles, more responsibilities, and higher pay, if you so desire. We help our patients (and our staff) become “Fully Functional”. Being Fully Functional, means being your most healthy, productive, satisfied, joy-filled self. Qualified applicants must enjoy learning, being stretched to grow, and will ultimately be an integral part of all our operations. Here is a short list of other “must-haves” that you should possess to apply for this position:1. Be warm, friendly and empathetic – many of our patients have often been in pain for years and are in search of an ally, a guide who can finally figure out what is causing their symptoms and help them become fully functional and pain-free. As a Physical Therapist and Clinical Director Superstar you are one of the initial patient contacts with “Back to You.” Our patients (and staff) are our family and we treat everyone with respect and care. As the first doctor that many of our patients see in our clinic, you are our “brand ambassador” and are the starting point for their healing. This skill is vital. It is non-negotiable. It is a natural talent that reflects an applicant’s entire persona and beliefs. It is a non-teachable skill and our first test of applicants when determining who will be a good fit.2. Be a leader – You must have the ability to constantly establish and maintain rapport with your team, guide the flow of the clinic, grow the clinic volume (the more it grows, the more bonuses you'll make), participate in marketing events, mentor your team, ensure the success of your clinic and your patients, and communicate with the company. The clinic can become busy and multi-tasking is a vital skill. That being said, we have systems in place that allow us to help one another if one area of the practice gets unusually busy. We all pull together and you will never hear someone say “that’s not my job” when someone needs help.3. Have Excellent & Professional Communication Skills – You must be able to respond professionally in person and on the phone to patients from across the Metro Detroit area, and have the ability to accurately document, effectively bill, collaborate with the scheduler to ensure patient adherence to the plan of care, problem solve, and adjust your staff as needed for growth and replacement. You must be able to find solutions to help our patients and our organization.4. Be Highly Attentive, Pro-active & Resourceful – You must be alert and anticipate patient and staff needs. We pride ourselves on being the doctors who actually listen to patients. We expect our staff to do the same. Strive for the best evidence-based practices and implement the most cutting-edge approaches and techniques so that your patients and staff can benefit from your knowledge and skill set.Are we a good fit so far?… If YES, keep reading….Here’s something you should know: As a team member of our team, it’s helpful if you have some of the following experience: working in a medical office or hospital, organizing events, working with elderly or the disabled. Why? Because the traits that allow you to succeed there (empathy, attention to detail, care for patients who are in pain, organizational skills, etc.) will help you thrive here.Do you also possess these qualities below?1) Team and/or Leadership Experience – If you have leadership experience, please notate it in your inquiry. We find that people who’ve played on sports or other types of teams, or who have had significant leadership experience understand how to play their role, how to pitch in wherever is needed, and have a Whatever It Takes attitude.2) Customer Service Experience – If you have experience in busy restaurants, retail, or high-level customer service, please notate it in your inquiry.

A positive mental attitude, even when things don’t always go your way, is a vital requirement. Changing people’s mindset is the first step in healing and it has to come from the staff first.**What’s In It For YOU?!?!**Working with our Doctors (and their team) would be the single most useful education you could get. You’d literally be getting paid to learn, and contribute value in the form of your ideas, positive energy and organizational efforts. You’ll be exposed to concepts that you’ve only read about in health and wellness magazines...and you will hear how they operate to help patients heal. Our therapists are fellowship trained, osteopractors, managers, clinical specialists, PT school educators, and experts in their craft.For example, you will be mentored in differential diagnosis to determine the root causes of pain/dysfunction and the possibility of recovery in seemingly hopeless cases. You will learn about cutting edge testing and therapies unavailable anywhere else in the state. You will also learn about natural methods to help people get and stay healthy including nutritional supplements and body therapies. Research-based dry needling, cupping, body tempering, spinal & extremity manipulation, IASTM, and much much more! Holy cow! Where would you ever learn that in school? :-)In a typical medical office setting you may end up dealing with an endless sea of paper, boring tasks, unattainable performance measures, without getting to spend quality time with your patients and make a difference (our patients receive at least 30 minutes of manual therapy). Our whole team participates in the healing process and you will learn to experience patient victories as your own.And much, much more…Still interested? … Good!
