Our goal at Back and Body is to help patients out of pain, rehabilitate and get back to what they love doing. That’s our primary goal and reason we exist. We have so many treatment options and experience to help patients.
Our care for our community doesn’t end there. We are always looking to help our youth and offer internships.
Our latest success story comes in the form of Rani. She has just successfully completed an internship at our Springfield office this spring. She will be graduating from Rutgers very soon with a major in Exercise Science.
Once she has graduated she will be returning to our office, full time.
We love to seek upcoming talent and help them achieve their goals. We offer opportunities such as this each year. Successful interns such as Rani, often get the opportunity to remain with us.
If you or someone you know is interested in an internship with us, please reach out and contact us. We often offer internships in several fields including physical therapy, occupational therapy and chiropractic.
Please contact us if such an opportunity interests you.
In the meantime, please join us in congratulating Rani for a job well done and every success in continuing her work at Back and Body.
