Physical Therapist

Cleveland Clinic • Canton, OH • 1d ago

Join Cleveland Clinic's Mercy Hospital where research and surgery are advanced, technology is leading-edge, patient care is world-class, and caregivers are family. Officially becoming a full member of the Cleveland Clinic Health System in 2021, Mercy Hospital offers a wide variety of medical specialties to the communities in and around Stark County. Here, you will work alongside passionate and dedicated caregivers, receive endless support and appreciation, and build a rewarding career with one of the most respected healthcare organizations in the world.

Physical Therapists test muscle strength, the amount of flexibility in joints, and the ability to walk or move. Treatments include exercises to increase strength, range of motion, endurance, and coordination, the use of heat, cold, electricity, or even aquatics to relieve pain, and teaching exercises and body mechanics to avoid injury or regain function. Since this position requires physical interaction with patients, Physical Therapists are highly connected with patients and build stronger patient relationships than most other health sciences specialists. Often, physical therapy patients are dealing with pain, so sensitivity is important. Equally important is giving patients the drive and support they need to work hard and regain their health.

A caregiver who excels in this role will:

Evaluate and conduct medically prescribed physical therapy treatment programs.

Perform initial and ongoing assessments.

Establish, revise and evaluate plans of care.

Perform physical therapy interventions utilizing standard physical therapy techniques and skills appropriate for the patient's age and condition.

Supervise the activities of physical therapy assistants, students and other support caregivers.

Bachelor's Degree or certificate

Graduate of a Physical Therapy program accredited by the American Physical Therapy Association

Current state licensure as a Physical Therapist (PT)

Basic Life Support (BLS) Certification through the American Heart Association (AHA)
