PT Jobs in North Carolina

A Physical Therapist (PT) plays a crucial role in the therapy industry by helping alleviate pain and improve mobility for patients with injuries or chronic conditions. They develop tailored treatment plans, utilizing techniques such as therapeutic exercises, manual therapy, and patient education to help restore function, improve mobility, and prevent or limit physical disabilities. They also evaluate patients' progress and adjust treatments as necessary to ensure optimal recovery. PTs work in diverse environments, including hospitals, outpatient clinics, patients' homes, schools, and sports and fitness facilities.

To excel in this role, a PT should possess strong interpersonal and communication skills, high levels of physical stamina, and a keen problem-solving ability. Aside from a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree, they are required to have a state-specific license to practice. Additional certifications, like the Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS) or Neurologic Clinical Specialist (NCS), can further enhance their expertise. Before becoming a PT, a person could be a Physical Therapist Assistant, providing treatment under the supervision of a PT, or a Rehabilitation Aide, assisting with patient care and clinic operations. Some may start their careers as Athletic Trainers, working with athletes to prevent and treat sports-related injuries.
