Physical Therapist Jobs in Newark, NJ

A Physical Therapist plays a crucial role in the therapy industry, providing services that help improve patients' mobility, relieve pain, and prevent or limit permanent physical disabilities. They work with patients who have various conditions, such as injuries, illnesses, or chronic diseases, and develop personalized treatment plans that promote functionality and well-being. Physical Therapists utilize therapeutic exercises, manual therapy techniques, and assistive and adaptive devices and equipment to aid in patients' rehabilitation. They also educate patients and their families about the treatment process and how to manage their conditions at home.

To become a Physical Therapist, one needs to possess a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree and obtain licensure by passing the National Physical Therapy Examination. Key skills include problem-solving, patience, dexterity, interpersonal skills, and physical stamina. Prior to their role as a Physical Therapist, individuals may have positions such as a Physical Therapist Assistant, where they would work under the supervision of a Physical Therapist, or a Rehabilitation Aide, assisting in patient care. They may also gain experience through internships during their doctoral studies.
