• Provide care in homes, parks, fitness centers, and community settings, ensuring sessions are functional and relevant to real-world activities.
• Collaborate with physicians, surgeons, and healthcare teams to coordinate care.

• Thrive in autonomous, community-based settings and appreciate mobile care flexibility.
• Value patient-driven outcomes and creating personalized care plans tailored to individual goals.
• Enjoy working in varied environments like homes, parks, and fitness centers, keeping sessions engaging.
