  • Modern, Fully Equipped Clinics with advanced therapy tools and technology.

What will you do?

  • Conduct comprehensive assessments of patients with orthopedic injuries (upper extremity focus preferred) to determine therapy needs and establish treatment goals.
  • Design and implement individualized therapy plans targeting ADLs (activities of daily living), upper limb function, pain reduction, strength, range of motion, and sensory integration.
  • Provide manual therapy, therapeutic activities, neuromuscular re-education, splinting/fabrication (if applicable), and modalities as appropriate.
  • Teach patients and families adaptive techniques, proper body mechanics, and at-home exercise programs to support long-term success.
  • Maintain clear, timely, and accurate patient records, ensuring ongoing evaluation and adjustment of treatment goals.
  • Work closely with physical therapists, orthopedic surgeons, case managers, and support staff to create a seamless care experience.
  • Inspire confidence and independence through personalized care and empathetic communication.
