Job description

Methodist Health System is seeking a dedicated Physical Therapist 2 to join our Healthcare & Medical Services team within our hospital-based department. In this role, you will provide evidence‑based, compassionate physical therapy services to adult and geriatric patients with a wide range of orthopedic, neurological, cardiopulmonary, and medical conditions. Working collaboratively with physicians, nurses, case managers, and other rehabilitation professionals, you will perform comprehensive evaluations, develop individualized plans of care, and deliver skilled interventions to improve mobility, strength, balance, functional independence, and quality of life.

As a Physical Therapist 2, you will function as an experienced clinician, managing a caseload with moderate to high complexity and serving as a resource for Physical Therapist 1 staff, assistants, and students. Responsibilities include conducting detailed patient assessments, interpreting medical histories, setting measurable functional goals, and implementing interventions such as therapeutic exercise, gait and balance training, neuromuscular reeducation, functional mobility training, manual therapy, and patient and family education. You will document all care accurately and promptly in the electronic health record, complying with state and federal regulations, payer requirements, and Methodist Health System policies.

You will actively participate in interdisciplinary rounds, discharge planning, and care coordination, providing recommendations for durable medical equipment, post‑acute services, and home exercise programs to support safe transitions of care. The role also involves mentoring newer therapists and students, contributing to quality improvement initiatives, and helping to refine clinical pathways and best practices in line with current research and professional guidelines.

Methodist Health System provides comprehensive healthcare services across Texas with a mission to improve and save lives through compassionate, high‑quality care. Our culture emphasizes integrity, compassion, accountability, and collaboration in an inclusive environment. As part of this culture, the Physical Therapist 2 is expected to demonstrate professional behavior, cultural sensitivity, and effective communication with patients, families, and team members.

The ideal candidate will be a self‑directed clinician who is comfortable working in a fast‑paced hospital environment, managing a full caseload, prioritizing competing demands, and adapting treatment plans as patients’ conditions change. Strong clinical reasoning, time management, and patient‑education skills are essential.

Methodist Health System offers competitive compensation and a comprehensive benefits package, with opportunities for continuing education, professional development, and career growth within our rehabilitation services and broader health system.
