About the Role

This Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy position is based in an outpatient clinic, primarily focused on Women's Health and pelvic floor issues. While the core patient population includes women, the team also serves men experiencing pelvic floor pain and dysfunction. The role involves organizing and delivering medically prescribed physical therapy to restore function and prevent disability following disease, injury, or loss of a body part across all age groups, from neonates to geriatric patients.

The day-to-day involves evaluating patients to determine treatment goals and outlining therapy delivery through physical means such as exercise, massage, heat, sound, water, light, and electricity. You will consult with medical staff, educate patients and caregivers on specialized equipment and safety, and adapt therapy techniques to meet individual needs. A significant component of this role includes supervising and instructing physical therapy students and volunteers, as well as conducting training for medical and nursing personnel.

We welcome new graduates to the team. If selected, you will be supported by a strong mentorship program. While experience is preferred, the collaborative and educational environment is designed to help you thrive regardless of your career stage.
