Job Description
Cranial Technologies is the only company in the world completely dedicated to researching and treating plagiocephaly (commonly called flat head syndrome). With over 500,000 babies successfully treated, we are the plagiocephaly experts and the leader in pediatric cranial shaping orthoses.
Cranial Technologies also provides treatment with EarWell® to correct infant ear shapes without surgery. With over 600,000+ successful outcomes, EarWell® is a proven, non-invasive treatment option for families.
We are currently looking for a Regional Traveling Physical Therapist! This full-time position will be based out of Columbus, OH and will travel throughout all our Ohio clinics.
TRAVEL EXPECTATIONS: 30-40% overnights
This position is in a pediatric clinical outpatient setting, working exclusively with infants. If you’re looking for a new challenge and want to specialize in a non-traditional, niche area, Cranial Technologies may be the place for you. This is a unique opportunity to treat patients in a child-friendly, state-of-the-art clinic.
As a Clinician, you will treat infants to reshape head shapes with the DOC Band® and correct ear shapes with EarWell®. Pediatricians and parents alike look to our Clinicians as the experts in evaluation and in treatment of plagiocephaly as well as conditions involving misshapen ears. Our treating Clinicians develop great relationships with our families at every stage of their treatment process.
We hire from various backgrounds because each background is a great fit in its own way.
PTs and OTs are an excellent fit with their background knowledge of symmetry and asymmetry, cervical anatomy, torticollis, and infant/toddler development.
Registered Nurses are a great fit with their experience in hands-on patient care and compassion for families as well as their capability to treat the whole patient.
Certified Prosthetists and Orthotists are also a strong fit because of their hands-on experience with orthotics and direct patient care.
A background in pediatrics is preferred, but not necessary as we have a formal training program that includes mentoring.
What We Have to Offer
- You will see visible, measurable changes in two to three weeks
- We value our employees and invest in their training and mentorship
- Direct patient care with minimal paperwork
No Productivity/patient Quotas
- Cranial Technologies is a nationwide company with future opportunities available in training and mentoring

500 hours of basic orthotic fitting experience with off-the-shelf orthotic devices (e. g. splints, braces, maternity belts) *If you are unsure if you meet this requirement, please apply and we can discuss this with you further*
