Physical Therapy Jobs

Physical therapists help patients of any age improve movement and manage pain after illness or injury. As a physical therapist, you are an exercise and functional movement expert. You may work with a wide variety of patients. During a typical workday, you may help someone regain leg function after a break and then make a plan for someone with a chronic illness like cerebral palsy to manage movement around their home.

Pain management is an essential skill for physical therapy jobs as you teach patients how to move joints, muscles, and soft tissue to decrease pain. Some physical therapists practice in specialized areas such as performing arts, obesity management, and veterinary services. Physical therapy isn’t a one-size-fits-all profession. You must gauge your compatibility with each role to find the right one. Whatever it is you’re looking for, find it on Monster.
