Overview

We are excited to be opening an opportunity for a Full Time Physical Therapist position at The Physio Room in Westwood, New Jersey. We are looking for someone for a Monday-Friday schedule with flexibility. (M-F 8 hour days, four 10 hour days). We spend the full time with our patients, one on one, for 45 minute sessions. Initial evaluations are scheduled for 60 minutes. We do not use aides or double book patients at the same time.

Our mission is to empower individuals with Orthopedic-related issues, so that they can perform in areas of life that are of significance to them. We are a small boutique Patient First practice, where we believe in building long lasting relationships with patients through trust, respect, and good communication. Our treatment philosophy is based on educating our patients, providing high quality hands-on manual therapy, and a blend of progressive overload strengthening, graded exposure to activity, and mobility exercises.

Our patient population is a mixture of patients with orthopedic related conditions that are motivated to get better. Patients that we are currently working with include: ACL reconstruction, rotator cuff repair, patellar fracture ORIF, PCL tear, lumbar laminectomy, shoulder labrum repair, ankle fracture, frozen shoulder, knee replacement, shoulder pain, knee pain, low back pain, neck pain, and foot/ankle pain. Our patients are a grandparent staying healthy for their workout class, a young professional trying to get back to working out for stress relief, a young athlete working on getting back on the soccer field, and an individual looking for maintenance and prevention to live a healthy lifestyle.

We are looking for an empathetic and motivated Orthopedic Physical Therapist to be part of our collaborative team. As a member of our staff, you will play a crucial role in helping patients recover from orthopedic related injuries, surgeries, and musculoskeletal disorders through comprehensive plans of care.
