Whether you guide stroke survivors through delicate rehabilitation tasks or assist orthopedic patients in regaining mobility post-surgery, your expertise will facilitate person-centered care that nurtures resilience and independence.

This isnt a workplace for scripted responses; here, every patient represents a unique narrative, and each therapy session unfolds like an essential chapter in their recovery journey. You will collaborate with fellow therapists, physicians, nurses, and social workers to tailor rehabilitation plans that honor the individuality of the people you serve.
