Travel Physical Therapist Job

Ignite your passion for movement and well‑being as a Physical Therapist on a dynamic travel assignment that blends clinical impact with the beauty of Michigan.

As a dedicated Physical Therapist, you’ll guide patients through transformative rehabilitation journeys, restoring independence, confidence, and function one step at a time.

This is more than a job—it’s a chance to shape lives, support whole‑person recovery, and carry your expertise into diverse clinical environments.

In the pristine corners of Michigan, from lakeside towns to bustling regional centers, you’ll witness firsthand how movement changes outcomes, and you’ll be empowered to bring those moments to every patient you touch.

Michigan’s landscapes are a natural classroom—glittering shorelines, forested trails, and serene parks invite you to recharge after meaningful days of patient care.

In this role, you’ll carry the commitment to evidence‑based practice into practical, compassionate care that makes a lasting difference for people across communities.

Start date is December 8, 2025, and you’ll embark on a multi‑week assignment designed to keep your skills sharp, your career trajectory moving forward, and your professional satisfaction high.

Location benefits go well beyond the clinic walls.

Tawas City, nestled along Michigan’s northern lakeshore, offers a unique blend of small‑town warmth and coastal allure—easy access to outdoor recreation, friendly neighborhoods, and a pace that allows you to focus on patient outcomes while recharging in nature.

You’ll work in a setting that values patient‑centered care, collaboration with skilled teams, and a supportive infrastructure that makes travel seamless.

If you’re drawn to fresh experiences, this role also provides the exciting possibility to extend your impact across various locations within the United States, enabling exposure to diverse patient populations, facility cultures, and care delivery models.

Whether you’re guiding a post‑operative plan in a coastal clinic, supporting a rural outpatient program, or coordinating care in a busy rehab department, you’ll gain breadth in clinical practice while maintaining the consistent standards that define your PT expertise.

The opportunity to pair constant professional growth with rich local experiences—seasonal shorelines, local festivals, and scenic drives—creates a compelling backdrop for a rewarding assignment that respects your professional autonomy and your curiosity.

As a Physical Therapist in this role, your core responsibilities center on assessment, intervention, and outcomes.

You’ll conduct comprehensive evaluations to identify functional limitations, develop individualized treatment plans that align with short‑ and long‑term goals, and implement evidence‑based therapy interventions that harness your manual skills, therapeutic exercises, gait training, assistive devices, and hip‑core stability programs.

You’ll monitor progress, adjust plans as needed, and collaborate with physicians, occupational therapists, nurses, and case managers to ensure cohesive care.

Documentation will reflect precise progress, barriers, and discharge planning, with a focus on measurable improvements in mobility, strength, balance, and functional independence.

You’ll have the chance to mentor entry‑level clinicians, share best practices, and contribute to quality improvement initiatives that elevate patient outcomes.

The role also invites you to step into leadership by participating in multidisciplinary rounds, facilitating patient and family education, and supporting transitional care to promote safe, seamless recoveries.

Benefits in this travel opportunity are designed to attract top talent and sustain motivation.

The compensation range is competitive, with weekly pay between $2,342 and $2,411, reflecting the value of your specialized PT expertise.

You’ll have access to a housing assistance program to ease relocation concerns and to provide comfortable, convenient accommodations that suit your professional and personal needs.

In addition to base compensation, optional bonus opportunities recognize sustained performance, outstanding patient outcomes, and collaborative contributions to the team.

You’ll also have extension opportunities, allowing you to grow with the organization over time, deepen your clinical impact, and expand your professional network across a national framework.

Comprehensive support is a hallmark of this program :
