About This Role

As a Home Health Physical Therapist with CenterWell, you'll deliver one-on-one physical therapy sessions in patients' homes throughout New York City. Your days involve assessing each patient's condition, developing customized treatment plans, and guiding them through exercises designed to restore mobility and independence. You'll work directly with patients to help them reach functional goals—whether that's regaining strength after surgery, improving balance, or managing chronic conditions. This role suits therapists who enjoy building relationships with patients over time and prefer a flexible, community-based setting rather than a traditional clinic. You'll report to a Clinical Manager and have autonomy in how you structure your patient visits. Ideal candidates are compassionate, detail-oriented professionals committed to helping people maintain quality of life in their own homes.
