Cleveland Clinic • Canton, OH • 2d ago

Join the Cleveland Clinic's Mercy Hospital's Urgent and Outpatient Care of North Canton, where you will work alongside passionate caregivers and provide patient-first healthcare. You will work alongside 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.

Evaluate and conduct medically prescribed physical therapy treatment programs.
