Physical Therapist - Outpatient Orthopaedics & Pelvic Health

Cleveland Clinic • Cleveland, OH • 2h ago

Join Cleveland Clinic's Lutheran Hospital where research and surgery are advanced, technology is leading-edge, patient care is world-class, and caregivers are family. Located near downtown Cleveland, you will enjoy its wide variety of shopping and dining, proximity to sporting events, and the option of walking or biking to work. While enjoying the perks of being in the heart of Cleveland, you will also 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 in this role will work Monday through Friday with no weekend or holiday requirements. The schedule includes primarily day shifts from 8:00am to 4:30pm, with one scheduled day each week ending at 6:00pm and one scheduled day each week ending at 7:00pm to support operational needs.
