About the role

We’re a patient-first rehabilitation team embedded in a collaborative healthcare environment where movement, function, and independence are the goal. Our clinicians work alongside an interdisciplinary care team to deliver thoughtful, outcomes-driven therapy that meets patients where they are, then helps them move forward with confidence.

If you thrive in a setting that values clinical reasoning, clear communication, and practical problem-solving, you’ll feel right at home here. Why join us? Because you want to practice PT the way it’s meant to be practiced with autonomy, strong clinical standards, and a team that trusts your judgment.

This role is built for someone who takes ownership of the full therapy process: evaluating function, building a realistic plan, measuring progress, and adjusting treatment based on what the patient actually needs. You’ll also be part of a culture where collaboration isn’t a buzzword; it’s how care happens.

  • Develop individualized treatment plans based on patient needs and clinical findings, including assistive device selection and training, DME recommendations and fitting.
  • Implement physical therapy treatment programs and monitor patient progress, adjusting treatment plans as necessary.
  • Collaborate with a multidisciplinary healthcare team to provide coordinated, patient-centered care.
  • Educate patients and their families on therapeutic exercises and activities, ensuring they understand the purpose, benefits, and risks.
  • Document patient care and treatment in a timely and accurate manner, adhering to all regulatory and compliance standards.
  • Participate in professional development activities to stay current with the latest trends and advancements in physical therapy.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Physical Therapy required, advanced degree preferred.
  • Current licensure as a Physical Therapist in the state of practice.
  • Minimum of 2 years of experience as a Physical Therapist, preferably in an inpatient setting.
  • Proficiency in therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, neuromuscular re-education, gait training, balance/vestibular fundamentals, functional mobility training, transfer training, assistive device selection and training, and DME recommendations and fitting.
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to build strong relationships with patients, families, and healthcare team members.
  • Strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills, with the ability to make sound clinical decisions.
  • Ability to manage a high caseload and prioritize tasks effectively.
  • Commitment to adhering to the highest standards of patient care and professional ethics.
  • Basic computer skills, including experience with electronic medical records systems.
