Located southwest of New Orleans, Houma is known for its warm Southern hospitality, rich Cajun heritage, and welcoming small-city feel. The area offers a relaxed lifestyle with easy access to waterways, fishing, boating, and scenic bayou tours, along with beautiful nearby wetlands perfect for birding and outdoor exploration. Houma is also recognized for its lively festivals, local music, and authentic Cajun and Creole cuisine, giving you plenty to enjoy on your days off.

In this role, you will practice in an inpatient setting serving a diverse adult population that may include medical-surgical, orthopedic, neurological, cardiopulmonary, and post-operative patients. Depending on the facility’s specific structure, you may also see patients in step-down or intensive care environments as part of an early mobility and functional recovery focus. Typical responsibilities include comprehensive evaluations, development of individualized treatment plans, daily therapeutic interventions, patient and family education, and active participation in discharge planning to support safe transitions to home, outpatient therapy, or other post-acute levels of care. You will work closely with a dedicated multidisciplinary team that may include physicians, nurses, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, case managers, and social workers. Participation in team conferences and care coordination meetings is expected to ensure that therapy plans are aligned with overall medical goals. The environment emphasizes evidence-based practice, clear communication, and collaborative problem solving, allowing you to contribute meaningfully to patient outcomes. A typical day may include morning evaluations and treatment sessions focused on mobility, transfers, gait training, balance, and functional independence; follow-up sessions later in the day to progress exercises; and detailed documentation within the electronic medical record system. Patient caseloads and ratios are set to balance productivity expectations with quality one-on-one patient care, and you will prioritize patients based on acuity and medical stability in coordination with the care team. You can expect to work alongside supportive colleagues who understand the demands of inpatient practice and value shared decision-making and clinical input from therapists. Shifts are generally aligned with daytime hours to allow for optimal patient scheduling, with potential weekend and holiday rotations to provide consistent inpatient coverage. Start and end times may vary slightly to meet unit needs and patient flow. The inpatient setting is designed to support safe and efficient therapy delivery, with access to appropriate equipment and resources for mobility training, strengthening, and functional activities. This position offers an excellent opportunity for a Physical Therapist who wants to deepen their inpatient clinical skills while enjoying life in a culturally rich, close-knit community. Practicing in Houma allows you to build a strong professional foundation caring for medically complex patients, while living in a place known for its genuine friendliness, vibrant local traditions, and easy access to the natural beauty of coastal Louisiana.Required QualificationsPhysical Therapist, Inpatient RehabExperience: 1 yearLicenses: PT(Compact Accepted)Certifications: BLS-AHAPreferred QualificationsOne year experience is preferred.Job BenefitsAllied travel assignments are typically for 13 weeks and offer generous packages that include: Competitive pay rates Medical, Dental, Vision 401(k) and Flex Spending Life Insurance Accident and Short-term Disability Coverage Free Continuing Education Competitive Housing Deal Refer a friend and earn extra cash!About The CompanyAt AMN Healthcare, we strive to be recognized as the most trusted, innovative, and influential force in helping healthcare organizations provide quality patient care that continually evolves to make healthcare more human, more effective, and more achievable.physical therapist, physical therapy, PT, physiotherapy, rehabilitation therapist, physician rehab therapist, rehabilitation, rehab, allied health, allied, physical therapist rehabilitation, rehabilitation physical therapist
