DOCTOR OF PHYSICAL THERAPY / PHYSICAL THERAPIST
We are a fun, relaxed Physical Therapy clinic looking for a
Happy, Personable, Highly-Skilled Manual Physical Therapist
BLESSED ORTHOPEDIC PHYSICAL THERAPY is a Boutique, Holistic Physical Therapy Clinic. We pride ourselves in hiring only the Best Staff. We get patients better faster, help them reach their rehab goals faster and are dedicated to excellence. We are looking for a California Licensed Physical Therapist who enjoys the Outpatient setting. Our simple, no-frills clinic houses Private Treatment rooms, the ML830 Cold Laser, BioQPulse, Allegro Pilates Reformers, Yoga and Reflexology. We emphasize personalized, 1-on-1 hands-on treatment and foster a very family-oriented environment for our patients and staff.
If you would enjoy:
Working in a Clinic without the nonsense that goes along with Factory Type Schedule of 4 patients an hour or just using Modalities instead of healing the patients through Manual Therapy and Touch.
Spending one-on-one time with each of your patients.
An employer dedicated to your continued learning, professional development, and happiness.
Drastically reduced paperwork requirements compared to the average PT clinic.
Having a pivotal role in a growing company that helps people stay active and live the lives they want to live,
This could be the perfect position for you!
We're looking to bring on a superstar Manual Physical Therapist, but before we start asking you questions, let us tell you a bit more about us, this practice and our treatment philosophy so you can determine if you are likely to be a great fit with us
Treating patients with our hands has been the primary focus but we never discount the importance of TherEx, and all of our patients are taught a HEP to support what we do in the clinic.
On that same topic, we never have patients doing things in the clinic that they could be doing on their own at home
Sound exciting so far? If not, no need to read further. If so, let me tell you more about who we're looking for.
Clinically, we're looking for a stellar manual therapist. Having solid training in manual therapy beyond what is taught in PT school is advantageous.
Having a natural ability with your hands is a must. We've known PTs who have taken significant continuing education in manual therapies but lacked a natural ability with their hands. Some things can be taught and some things unfortunately cannot. We're looking for that person who has always been told they have "great hands."
So you will bring your own skill set but we'll be teaching you a large number of manual techniques and ways to optimize patient interactions and experiences. We're fans of having a big clinical "toolbox" and do not subscribe to any one physical therapy school/methodology as being better than all others. So get ready to learn!
But there's something even more important than your manual/PT skills: your personality and interpersonal skills. In our opinion, if you can't "win over" a patient with your conversations and interactions which is where the Healing starts, it almost doesn't matter how good you are with your hands and therex prescription. The right person for this job will be able to assess and skillfully respond to the wide variety of personailty types that visit our clinic, "meeting them where they're at" to build great rapport with every patient.
So we're obviously looking for someone who is passionate about learning and wise enough to know there will always be much more to learn regardless of age or experience. And in our clinic, the learning, training, and practicing will not only be about improving clinical skills but also about improving your ability to create an incredible experience for every patient (and that experience goes very far beyond just the results you get for them with your PT skills).
Some other things to help you decide if this position is a good fit for you:
If a joy for you in the field of PT involves being able to treat elderly patients, this is the best clinic for you since we are Medicare Certified and see many elderly patients.
This clinic's population is quite diverse and evenly spread among gender and age up to 65. Plenty of weekend warriors, desk jockeys, high school athletes, and middle-aged highly-driven people trying to stay active and fit. Our patients are amazing! You're gonna love them.
Your schedule will be open upto 40 hours per week of patient care, with the aim of averaging 20-30 or more hours of actual treatment time per week.
This position will be perfect for someone who has great manual skills and a compassionate, joyful outlook on life. Someone who is looking for an environment where high quality care and patient experience is truly the top priority (not just part of a mission statement) where you are not rushing from patient to patient all day and then buried in a never-ending pile of paperwork.
If all the above has made you excited about this job, here is a detailed "success description" outlining all the details of what being successful in this position will look like
Success Description
To have superstar status in this position, you will:
Laugh and make others laugh (or at least make them smile : )
Learn and apply specific scripts and techniques for performing free phone and clinic consultations, so that a maximum possible number of people needing our help decide to do business with us.
Actively engage and take notes in staff meetings and regular manual therapy trainings. ("Training" will not end after your first few months we are ALWAYS training, evolving, and improving).
Smile and make patients feel extremely welcome and cared for, even on days you're not feeling very 'smiley'.
Stay current on research and methodologies that will help you provide superior treatment and patient interactions.
Actively seek to understand what drives each of your patients it's not pain that brought them to the clinic; it's an activity they need, want, or love to do which the pain is keeping them from doing in the way they want.
Care about your co-workers and take an interest in their lives and happiness.
Be willing to occasionally work on a Saturday to serve those patients who can't schedule appointments during the weekdays or fit in the weekday spots we have available.
Express gratitude to our administrative staff for how much easier and more enjoyable they make our time at the clinic.
Understand that to reach and help the most people with our hard-earned skills and knowledge, we must "sell" our services. You will get comfortable with the terms "sales" and "selling," and understand that ethical selling is how we benefit the most possible people.
Adopt a firm belief that we are not just here to help people when they get injured, but that we have the role of primary caregiver for musculoskeletal impairments and that we are our clients' lifelong guides to staying active and healthy.
Move at least one patient per month into our ongoing wellness and maintenance programs.
Never take for granted the amazing patient-care atmosphere and daily work setting this job provides compared to the typical outpatient PT clinic.
Be a physical representation of health, wellness, and fitness how can we ask our patients to do things we're not willing to do ourselves?
Attend at least one community/athletic event each month to generate and deepen connections with attendees and referral sources (even if these events take place on the weekend).
Compel at least 2 patients per month to leave an online review of their experience
Just being awesome in general and proactively thinking of things that could make a huge difference to the way the business runs and our ability to help people.
Thank you so much for your interest in this position.
We hope to meet you soon!
