Build Our Youth Sports Performance Program While Changing the Lives of Children. At Chatterbox Pediatric Therapy, we believe movement is about so much more than walking, running, or reaching developmental milestones. Movement is how children explore. How they play. How they build confidence. How they make friends. How they keep up with their siblings. How they return to the game they love. How they discover what's possible. Whether it's an infant learning to crawl, a child with cerebral palsy navigating the playground, or a middle school athlete returning to soccer after an ACL injury, our mission is the same: Help every child participate more fully in the life they want to live. We're looking for an exceptional Physical Therapist who believes exceptional movement begins with exceptional relationships—and who wants to help build the future of pediatric physical therapy at Chatterbox. Help Build Something That Doesn't Exist Yet. Most positions ask you to join an established program. This one asks you to help create it. We're investing in a pediatric sports rehabilitation and performance program that combines evidence-based physical therapy with injury prevention, athletic development, movement optimization, and return-to-sport programming for young athletes. You'll have the opportunity to help shape: Sports rehabilitation services Return-to-play programming Injury prevention programs Running and movement analysis Speed and agility training Strength and conditioning for youth athletes Sports performance camps Community workshops School and youth league partnerships Your ideas will help define this program from the very beginning. This isn't simply an opportunity to run someone else's program. It's an opportunity to help shape what pediatric sports rehabilitation can look like in our community. If you've ever thought, \"If I could build a pediatric sports program, here's how I'd do it...\" ...we want to hear those ideas.
