Physical Therapist

Physical Therapist

About the Role
We are seeking a motivated, compassionate, and skilled Physical Therapist to join our growing team at Genesis Orthopedics & Sports Medicine. In this role, you will play a key part in delivering evidence-based care to a diverse patient population with a wide range of orthopedic conditions.

Our patients are primarily working-age adults—from young professionals to individuals in their 60s and 70s—many of whom qualify for Medicaid but do not have employer-sponsored coverage. While we occasionally serve teens, children (ages 9+), and older adults, these cases are less frequent.

This position offers the opportunity to make a meaningful impact in patients’ lives while advancing your own professional growth within a supportive and forward-thinking organization.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform comprehensive evaluations, including goniometry, manual muscle testing, and functional assessments.
• Develop and implement individualized, evidence-based treatment plans in collaboration with physicians.
• Deliver a variety of therapeutic techniques, such as therapeutic exercise, manual therapy (Graston, Dry Needling, MDT, Mulligan), and modalities to reduce pain and restore function.
• Educate patients on their condition, treatment goals, and strategies for long-term recovery and injury prevention.
• Document treatment progress accurately in Epic Hyperspace, our integrated EMR system.
• Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to ensure seamless, patient-centered care.
• Maintain a 1:1 Physical Therapist-to-PTA supervision ratio for continuity of care.
• Pursue ongoing professional development, including advanced techniques such as Blood Flow Restriction Therapy.

Requirements

Required:

• Active Physical Therapist license in Illinois
• Graduation from an accredited Physical Therapy program (DPT preferred)

Preferred:

• 2+ years of experience in orthopedic settings
• Board certification in Orthopedics or Sports Medicine
• Experience treating athletes and/or post-surgical patients
• Proficiency with Epic Hyperspace EMR
• Strong manual therapy skills (Graston, Dry Needling, MDT, Mulligan techniques)

Benefits

• Competitive base salary aligned with the Chicago market
• Performance-based bonus structure rewarding clinical excellence and results
• Opportunities for continuing education and career advancement as we expand throughout Chicagoland
