Our mission is to restore function, reduce pain, and improve quality of life for our patients by delivering compassionate, personalized, and cutting-edge treatment.

We take pride in offering exceptional care to all individuals—regardless of their insurance status. As one of the few private practices in the region that accepts all insurance plans, including Illinois State Medicaid and even uninsured patients, we ensure that orthopedic care is accessible to patients from all socioeconomic backgrounds.

We are committed to clinical excellence, innovation, and equity in healthcare access—values that make Genesis Ortho a unique and fulfilling place to work.

About the Role: Physical Therapist

We are seeking a motivated, compassionate, and skilled Physical Therapist to join our growing team. In this role, you will play a vital role in our mission by delivering evidence-based physical therapy services to a diverse patient population with a range of orthopedic conditions.

Our patient base primarily includes working-age individuals—from young adults through their late 60s and early 70s—many of whom qualify for Medicaid but lack employer-sponsored coverage. While we also care for teens, children (ages 9+), and older adults, these populations are seen less frequently.

This is an opportunity to make a tangible difference in the lives of our patients and to grow professionally within a supportive and forward-thinking organization.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct thorough evaluations, including goniometry, manual muscle testing, and functional assessments.

• Develop and implement individualized, evidence-based treatment plans in collaboration with physicians.

• Utilize a wide range of therapeutic techniques, including therapeutic exercises, manual therapy (Graston, Dry Needling, MDT, Mulligan), and modalities to reduce pain and improve function.

• Educate patients on their conditions, treatment goals, and injury prevention strategies to support long-term recovery.

• Document treatment progress accurately using Epic Hyperspace, our integrated EMR system.

• Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to deliver seamless, patient-centered care.

• Supervise a dedicated 1:1 Physical Therapist to PTA ratio, ensuring continuity of care.

• Pursue continuing education and professional development in advanced PT techniques, including upcoming services like Blood Flow Restriction Therapy.

• Valid Physical Therapist license in the state of Illinois
