You will administer physical therapy interventions centered on mobility, strength, balance, and function, ensuring that every patient feels supported and understood. Collaborating with a multidisciplinary team of nurses, physicians, case managers, and other rehabilitation professionals will be integral to your efforts to optimize patient outcomes. You will take the time to educate patients and their families on therapeutic goals, discharge planning, and essential home exercises. Your documentation of evaluations, treatments, and patient progress will adhere to established guidelines, ensuring all regulatory requirements are met.

This position is for those who operate with heart; where clinical expertise converges with empathy. As you assess needs and implement focused treatment plans, you will be shaping the wellness narratives of your patients and celebrating their milestones, big and small. You are a fundamental part of discharge planning and facilitating safe transitions back to the comfort of home.
