City/State Norfolk, VA Work Shift Multiple shifts available Overview: Physical Therapist – Cancer Rehabilitation & Functional Health

We offer a Competitive Salary and Excellent Benefits

Help expand the role of physical therapy across the healthcare continuum.

We are seeking a Physical Therapist to join our Cancer Rehabilitation team and help grow an emerging Functional Health model focused on helping patients stay active, independent, and engaged in their health throughout the care continuum.

This is an opportunity for a PT who wants to move beyond traditional episodic rehabilitation and develop relationship-driven, longitudinal care for patients with a variety of health conditions and comorbidities.

What You’ll Do

  • Evaluate and treat patients with needs related to cancer and survivorship, deconditioning, hypertension, diabetes, chronic conditions, and multiple comorbidities
  • Use movement, exercise, education, and functional improvement to support health, wellness, and chronic disease management
  • Develop meaningful relationships with patients and support their functional health needs over time
  • Collaborate with primary care and specialty providers to better integrate functional health into the broader healthcare continuum
  • Help develop and shape new approaches to Functional Health and longitudinal rehabilitation care

A Collaborative Specialty Environment

You’ll be surrounded by a multidisciplinary rehabilitation team, working alongside cancer rehabilitation and lymphedema specialists within your clinic and neurorehabilitation specialists in the same shared suite.

You’ll also collaborate with our Virtual Therapy team, primary care, and specialty providers to create more connected care and help patients maintain and improve function over time.

Who We’re Looking For

The ideal candidate is a PT who:

  • Is passionate about health, wellness, and prevention, not just recovery from injury
  • Enjoys working with patients with complex medical and chronic conditions
  • Values relationship-driven care and continuity
  • Enjoys multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary collaboration
  • Wants to help patients use movement and physical activity to improve their overall health
  • Is excited about helping build and shape an innovative model of rehabilitation care

Join Us If you want to help expand the role of rehabilitation in healthcare and become a meaningful part of your patients’ health journey, we’d love to have you on our team.
