Physical Therapist — Killeen, TX
About the Role
As a Killeen-area PT, you work with a uniquely military-influenced patient base. Fort Cavazos (formerly Fort Hood) anchors the regional economy, and home-health PT here often involves veterans, active-duty families, and post-deployment rehabilitation contexts.
Key Responsibilities
- Evaluate and treat patients in their homes across Bell County
- Design plans of care for post-surgical, stroke, cardiac, neuromuscular, and chronic-pain patients
- Coordinate with our in-house OTs, SLPs, RDs, RNs, and LCSWs on shared patients
- Deliver gait training, balance retraining, and functional mobility work
- Educate caregivers on transfers and home exercise programs
- Document visits in our proprietary EMR on day of service
- Cover Killeen, Harker Heights, Copperas Cove, Nolanville, and the Fort Cavazos corridor
Requirements
- Active Texas Physical Therapist license
- Current BLS/CPR certification
- Reliable transportation and valid Texas driver’s license
- Minimum 1 year clinical experience (home health preferred)
- Experience with veteran or post-deployment populations valued
- Comfortable with mobile EMR
Why Universal Rehab in Killeen
Killeen sits at the heart of the Fort Cavazos corridor, with a patient base shaped by one of the largest military installations in the country. Our physical therapy service line is built around one-on-one patient time, no productivity caps, and weekly direct-deposit payroll.
What Physical Therapy Looks Like in Killeen
Killeen's healthcare anchor is AdventHealth Central Texas, with Seton Medical Center Harker Heights adding capacity. Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center serves the active-duty Fort Cavazos population, but veterans, retirees, and dependents make up a meaningful share of community home-health work. Our PTs here see post-surgical orthopedic recovery, post-deployment musculoskeletal injury, neuro rehab, cardiac rehab, and chronic-pain caseloads. The catchment extends across Killeen, Harker Heights, Copperas Cove, Nolanville, and surrounding rural Bell County.
