Physical Therapy

Let us help you improve mobility and reduce pain

Did you know you can have physical therapy (PT) right on campus? You’ll need a prescription from a physician, podiatrist, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, chiropractor, or dentist to begin PT at the Student Health Center. Make sure you make your appointment within 60 days of the date the prescription was written.

We see all IU Bloomington students, their spouses, and their dependents age 12 and older. We also see IU Bloomington employees and their spouses (as our schedule allows).

At your first appointment, we’ll get a history of your injury and how it affects your daily activities. You’ll get a physical exam so we can determine what problems need to be addressed, and we’ll customize a care plan for you.

The Student Health Center's Physical Therapy department provides students with a unique opportunity to gain insight into daily operations while contributing to essential non-clinical tasks. These include preparing and cleaning treatment areas, setting up equipment, and assisting therapists and office staff as needed.

Flexible two-hour time blocks are available Monday through Friday, and students are expected to maintain consistent attendance throughout the semester for their assigned shifts.

If selected, participants must complete a background check, provide proof of immunizations, and undergo HIPAA and infection control training.
