Physical Therapist PRN

Join Cleveland Clinic Akron General's Bath Health and Wellness Center and become part of a top healthcare system in Akron. This patient-friendly facility offers a variety of primary care, emergency care and specialty services along with Lifestyles, a medically based fitness program and facility. 

Physical Therapists test muscle strength, the amount of flexibility in joints, and the ability to walk or move. Treatments include exercises to increase strength, range of motion, endurance, and coordination, the use of heat, cold, electricity, or even aquatics to relieve pain, and teaching exercises and body mechanics to avoid injury or regain function. Since this position requires physical interaction with patients, Physical Therapists are highly connected with patients and build stronger patient relationships than most other health sciences specialists. Often, physical therapy patients are dealing with pain, so sensitivity is important. Equally important is giving patients the drive and support they need to work hard and regain their health.   

The ideal Physical Therapist for this role is someone who has a passion for physical therapy and continued growth in the profession. Due to the chance to work out of various locations, this role offers various learning opportunities and the ability to work with a wide range of patients. Not only will you be able to advance your skills, but this PRN role is a great steppingstone to a full-time position followed by the chance to move up into a leadership role.
