- Provide hands-on care to patients with orthopedic, sports medicine, and musculoskeletal conditions while ensuring proper form, safety, and patient motivation.
- Observe patient progress, document treatment sessions accurately and timely, and communicate effectively with the supervising PT about patient status, challenges, or modifications needed.

· Willingness to take a stand for patients and advocate for whatever is needed to get each patient to their highest level of function.
