Recupe Coach - PTA position (Virginia Resident)

At Plethy, we focus on musculoskeletal care as a foundation for overall physical, mental, and emotional well-being. We strive to give independence, strength, and confidence back to those suffering from musculoskeletal problems.

Plethy’s virtual care solution, Recupe, enables musculoskeletal recovery programs that augment care providers to extend care beyond the clinic and empowers patients to take charge of their pace of recovery. Recupe uses a bio-psycho-social method that allows us to use empathy and understanding to find a patient’s personal motivators to drive engagement, resulting in quicker, long-lasting results.
