We are dedicated to providing comprehensive, compassionate, and patient-centered orthopedic services. Our mission is to help our patients get back to doing what they love by delivering exceptional care and personalized treatment plans that focus on restoring function, reducing pain, and improving quality of life. We are committed to using the latest advancements in orthopedic medicine and technology to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients. At Genesis Ortho, we believe in a team-based approach, where our experienced physicians, physical therapists, and support staff work collaboratively to provide integrated and coordinated care. We foster a supportive and positive work environment where our employees are valued and empowered to excel. What truly sets Genesis Ortho apart is our commitment to providing high-quality care to all patients, regardless of their insurance status. We are one of the few private practice groups in the area that accepts all insurance plans, including Illinois State Medicaid and even uninsured patients, ensuring that individuals from all socioeconomic backgrounds have access to the care they need. This dedication to serving our community, combined with excellent communication between our medical and rehabilitation teams, makes Genesis Ortho a truly special place to work. This Physical Therapist position is crucial to our commitment to providing comprehensive orthopedic care and helping our patients achieve their goals.
About the Role:
We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled Physical Therapist to join our dynamic and growing team. In this role, you will be an integral part of our patient-centered care model, providing comprehensive physical therapy services to a diverse patient population with a wide range of orthopedic conditions. You will have the opportunity to work with a patient base primarily consisting of young adults to individuals in their late 60s/early 70s, a demographic that aligns with a working-age population we serve, including those who may qualify for Medicaid but lack employer-sponsored healthcare. While we also see teenagers and children (9 and up), and older adults, these patient populations are less frequent. This position offers a chance to make a real difference in the lives of our patients and be part of a team that is passionate about providing exceptional and accessible orthopedic care.
Responsibilities:
Conduct comprehensive patient evaluations, including goniometry, manual muscle testing, and functional assessments to identify impairments, functional limitations, and disabilities.
Develop and implement individualized, evidence-based treatment plans based on patient needs, goals, and physician referrals, utilizing a patient-centered approach that aligns with Genesis Ortho's philosophy of care.
Utilize a variety of therapeutic interventions, such as therapeutic exercise, manual therapy techniques (including Graston, Dry Needling, MDT, and Mulligan techniques), and modalities to address pain, improve range of motion, and enhance functional abilities. We are also working towards expanding our services to include Blood Flow Restriction therapy, among others.
Educate patients on their condition, treatment plan, home exercise program, and injury prevention strategies, empowering them to actively participate in their recovery and achieve long-term success.
Document patient progress accurately and efficiently in Epic Hyperspace, our interconnected EMR system, ensuring timely and compliant documentation.
Collaborate effectively with physicians, other physical therapists/physical therapy assistants, occupational therapists, and other healthcare professionals to provide coordinated and patient-centered care, reflecting Genesis Ortho's collaborative approach to treatment.
Supervise Physical Therapist Assistants (PTAs) in a 1:1 PT to PTA ratio, delegating appropriate tasks and ensuring seamless transitions of care.
Participate in continuing education activities to stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in physical therapy techniques and evidence-based practice, demonstrating a commitment to professional growth and excellence.
Company Culture:
At Genesis Ortho, we cultivate a positive, collaborative, and supportive work environment where every team member is valued and plays a crucial role in our mission of providing exceptional patient care. We believe in open communication, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to helping our patients get back to doing what they love. We foster a fast-paced yet supportive environment with regular monthly department meetings and annual company events. We encourage professional growth and development through continuing education support, and mentorship programs. With the therapy department’s rapid expansion from since 2023, there are ample opportunities for professional advancement, including leadership positions at new clinics and within existing clinic structures. For less experienced PTs, we provide a structured onboarding process, gradually ramping up patient schedules and offering mentorship from experienced PTs, including shadowing opportunities and ongoing support.
