Role Summary

Calian Health Services is hiring a full-time Physiotherapist for the Canadian Forces Health Services Centre in Borden, Ontario.

• Assess and treat neuro-musculoskeletal conditions, especially those linked to sports injuries, training-related injuries, workplace injuries, and accidents.
• Explain treatment plans clearly and obtain informed consent before assessment and intervention.
• Carry out screening assessments, patient education, and orthoses recommendations in direct-access settings such as CDU walk-ins.
• Design exercise programs that support rehabilitation, injury prevention, and overall fitness.
• Use manual therapy and soft-tissue techniques to address neuro-musculoskeletal issues, scar tissue, muscle tension, circulation concerns, and lymphatic problems.
• Apply pain-management approaches, which may include acupuncture-style needling below the dermis.
• Deliver ergonomics guidance and perform on-site workplace assessments when needed.
• Educate patients and members of the health care team on injury prevention, health promotion, and related physiotherapy topics.
• Conduct biomechanical foot assessments, including orthotics fitting and fabrication.
• Help plan, prepare, and deliver clinic programs that support education and rehabilitation, such as proprioceptive rehab, reintegration programs, and back-pain self-management initiatives.
• Take part in ongoing patient management through interdisciplinary case discussions, clinical rounds, patient conferences, and arranging additional follow-up care.
• Complete daily clinical documentation for every patient interaction in line with Canadian Forces and provincial regulatory record-keeping requirements.
