Physical Therapist - Outpatient

Orthopedic Physical Therapist Opportunity

This 13-week outpatient orthopedic Physical Therapist opportunity is located in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, a charming community nestled in the heart of the Pocono Mountains. The area offers a blend of small-town warmth and vibrant tourism, giving you the best of both worlds: a welcoming community to call home during your assignment and an abundance of activities to enjoy in your time off. East Stroudsburg and the surrounding Pocono region are known for stunning mountain scenery, four-season outdoor recreation, and easy access to major metropolitan areas. On your days off, you can explore nearby hiking and biking trails, enjoy waterfalls and scenic overlooks, or relax by local lakes and rivers. In winter, you are close to popular ski resorts and snowboarding destinations. Warmer months bring opportunities for ziplining, adventure courses, water parks, golfing, fishing, and kayaking. The region also offers local farmers markets, wineries, breweries, arts venues, and community events, with additional shopping, dining, and nightlife options in the neighboring Stroudsburg area. For longer excursions, major cities such as New York City and Philadelphia are within a reasonable drive, making weekend trips highly accessible. The position is based in an outpatient clinic focused on orthopedic care, providing you with a clinically engaging and professionally rewarding setting. You will serve as the primary full-time Physical Therapist, working alongside a supportive team that includes a PRN therapist who is on-site one day per week and another PT who typically works 28–32 hours per week. This structure allows you to enjoy a high degree of autonomy and ownership over your caseload while still having colleagues for consultation and collaboration. The clinic specializes in outpatient orthopedics, with a typical caseload that may include post-surgical rehabilitation, sports injuries, chronic musculoskeletal conditions, spine care, and general orthopedic diagnoses. Patients are generally seen on an outpatient basis, and you can expect a variety of age groups and functional levels. You will perform comprehensive evaluations, develop individualized treatment plans, and implement evidence-based interventions designed to restore function, improve mobility, and reduce pain. Treatment approaches may incorporate therapeutic exercise, neuromuscular re-education, manual therapy techniques, and patient education, with an emphasis on functional goals and return to activity. Your typical day will include conducting evaluations and re-evaluations, planning and progressing treatment sessions, coordinating care with part-time and PRN therapists to maintain continuity, and documenting services within the clinic's EMR system. You will collaborate with other members of the care team as needed and maintain open communication with patients and families regarding progress and home exercise programs. The clinic environment supports professional responsibility, independent clinical decision-making, and efficient patient flow. This role is full-time, with an expected schedule of 40 hours per week. Shifts are structured as five 8-hour day shifts, providing a predictable routine and consistent work-life balance. There is no on-call requirement, allowing you to fully enjoy your evenings and weekends exploring the scenic Pocono Mountains and the local community. This assignment is an excellent fit for a Physical Therapist who enjoys outpatient orthopedics, appreciates autonomy in practice, and is excited about working in a beautiful, activity-rich region. Clinicians who are comfortable being a key member of a smaller team, who value strong patient relationships, and who are looking to broaden their experience in a dynamic outpatient setting will find this opportunity especially rewarding.
