Physical Therapist

Cleveland Clinic • Palm Beach Gardens, FL • 10h ago

Join Cleveland Clinic Florida Palm Beach Gardens' team of caregivers that remain on the leading edge of technology and education, all while consistently providing patient-centered healthcare. As part of Cleveland Clinic's Florida region, Palm Beach Gardens' physicians offer advanced expertise, innovative treatment, nationally renowned primary care and neurological specialty care. Specialties include cardiology, family medicine and sports health. Here, you will receive endless support and appreciation while building 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.

The position requires flexibility in hours and locations, covering Weston outpatient PT Clinics at Krupa, the YMCA and potentially Parkland.

Evaluate and conduct medically prescribed physical therapy treatment programs.

Interpret plans and supervise patient treatments in accordance with the physician referral, ensuring the care, safety and wellbeing of the patient.

Review and evaluate the patient's response or lack thereof to treatment.

Make recommendations to the physician relative to the need to continue or discontinue physical therapy treatment.
