NORTH COUNTY WATER AND SPORTS THERAPY CENTER IS NOW HIRING LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT PEOPLE

Working in Physical Therapy Has Benefits That Extend Beyond the Clinic!

Make a Difference

Stories about hiring difficulties are all over the news right now, and physical therapy clinics are included. An aging population with more chronic diseases has been increasing the need for physical therapy for years. The pandemic has accelerated the problem. Clinics aren’t only looking for PTs and PTAs, either. Finding the right people to fill roles in billing, administrative, and tech is difficult, too. Many clinics also employ people like nutritionists, athletic trainers, and fitness professionals. If you’re looking for a new place to work or a change in career, a PT clinic might be a great setting for you. Here are a few reasons to consider it: Build Relationships Physical therapy is unique in the world of health care because of the time patients spend in the clinic. People often come in 2–3 times a week, for a few weeks to several months, depending on why they’re coming in. When people spend that much time together, it’s easy for great relationships to form. Often these relationships end up lasting a lifetime and have benefits that extend outside the clinic. Having a large and diverse network is never a bad thing, and a PT clinic is a great place to build one.

Physical therapists work with people who have injuries or disabilities that affect their mobility as well as those who have chronic illnesses, like heart disease or diabetes. They help people heal faster and get them back to normal life with a focus on function. That means PTs want to help people return to meaningful things like going to work, participating in recreational activities and hobbies, or playing with grandkids. Getting back to things like that means a lot more to patients than lowering their blood pressure or improving their lab values. And it feels good to be a part of making that happen. If you’ve never considered working in a PT clinic, now might be the right time. It’s rewarding and a great way to build relationships, become valuable in the community, and make a difference in people’s lives.
