Grow Your Neuro Expertise. Build the Career You Want.

IRG Physical & Hand Therapy is seeking a Physical Therapist to join South Sound Physical & Hand Therapy – Lacey, a busy outpatient clinic serving the quieter residential community of Lacey, just outside Olympia.

New graduates eager to learn are also welcome: Mentorship is a strong part of this clinic’s culture. Alongside neurological and vestibular care, the clinic treats a broad mix of postoperative and orthopedic patients and offers room to develop additional specialties outside pelvic health.

Exciting opportunity for an experienced clinician with Neurological or Vestibular rehabilitation expertise: You’ll work alongside Clinic Director Dr. Krista Piliusenko, PT, DPT, LSVT BIG Cert., AIB-VRC, whose clinical background includes vestibular rehabilitation.

Clinical Mentorship: Join a team that actively supports new graduates and ongoing clinical learning, with opportunities to discuss cases, strengthen clinical reasoning, and build confidence.
