Physical Therapist - Full-Time - Outpatient Clinic - Las Cruces, NM
Open to new grads as well as experienced PTs - We offer a Leadership Development Program!
About Our Clinic
We are a general orthopedic outpatient clinic providing the highest quality care to patients in the Las Cruces community and surrounding areas. As a physical therapist owned clinic, our mission is to provide quality, patient-focused care in an environment where our patient's needs are met. We provide treatment for all musculoskeletal injuries, as well as pre and post-operative rehab, sports injuries and some neurological injuries. Our patient population is a good mix of weekend warriors, high school athletes and elderly patients. We will see kids from time to time, but it is pretty infrequent and not focused on early development conditions.
We are staffed with a group of individuals with a wide range of experience, capabilities, and certifications so while we do focus on hands-on techniques we do provide services through different modalities. Our team currently is made up of 3 physical therapists, 3 physical therapist assistants, and two technicians. Our ultimate goal for the near future is to have 4 PTs and 4 PTAs who are paired together during patient treatments. We are all passionate and fully committed to educating patients so that they can better understand their condition and how our treatment will help them return to their prior level of function. Our clinic offers state-of-the-art equipment that most other clinics in Las Cruces don't have access to including our AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill. We are the only clinic in the state that is certified to use Owens Recovery Science Equipment because all of our PTs are certified in Blood Flow Restriction Rehab. We will reimburse our new PT for their BFR cert.
Las Cruces offers commemorative monuments, authentic flavors, unique festivals, unforgettable landscapes, local events & vibrant culture. It is a great location for younger professionals and growing families who don't want the traffic and high cost of living found in major cities. Our team is similar to the small community we live in because both are tight-knit and supportive of one another. The city offers plenty of amenities year-round to stay busy, is less than 50 miles from El Paso, TX and Alburquerque is only a few hours away making it the perfect weekend getaway!
