This outpatient Physical Therapist position is based in Dedham, Massachusetts, a welcoming New England town located just southwest of Boston. Dedham offers the perfect balance of suburban comfort and urban convenience, with charming historic neighborhoods, tree-lined streets, and easy access to the cultural, dining, and professional opportunities of the Greater Boston area. Residents enjoy nearby walking trails and parks, convenient shopping and dining at local centers and larger retail destinations, and quick travel to Boston, Cambridge, and coastal communities for weekend trips, museums, and sporting events.
The clinic provides a modern, patient-centered outpatient environment focused on musculoskeletal and orthopedic care, sports-related injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation, and general physical therapy services. You will be part of a supportive, collaborative team of therapists and rehabilitation professionals who emphasize evidence-based practice, continuous learning, and high-quality patient outcomes. The workspace is designed for functional training and therapeutic exercise, with treatment tables, equipment for strength and conditioning, and modalities appropriate to an outpatient rehab setting.
In this role, you will conduct thorough evaluations, develop individualized treatment plans, and progress patients through their rehabilitation using a combination of manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, neuromuscular re-education, and functional training. A typical day includes a mix of new evaluations and follow-up treatment sessions, coordination of care with referring providers, and documentation within the clinic’s electronic medical record system. Patient caseload commonly includes adults and adolescents with orthopedic injuries, post-operative conditions, spine issues, and activity-related pain, with occasional geriatric and occupational-related cases depending on referral patterns.
Therapists work closely with colleagues to discuss complex cases, share treatment strategies, and support each other in maintaining an efficient and positive workflow. You can expect patient scheduling that allows for focused, one-on-one care while maintaining reasonable productivity expectations. Shifts generally follow standard outpatient hours, with potential early morning or early evening options to accommodate patient schedules; specific hours can be tailored to clinic needs and discussed during the hiring process.
This position offers opportunities to grow professionally through exposure to a variety of diagnoses, collaboration with experienced clinicians, and participation in in-service education and continuing education support. The Dedham area is traveler-friendly and commuter-friendly, with convenient access to major roadways and public transportation options into Boston and surrounding communities, making it an appealing location for both local therapists and those new to the area.
