Travel Physical Therapist Job

Embark on a dynamic journey as a Travel Physical Therapist specializing in rehabilitation, delivering expert care to diverse patients in Michigan’s West Branch and, on occasion, other select locations across the United States. In the Physical Therapist role, you’ll apply your clinical expertise to evaluate function, design individualized treatment plans, and guide patients through progressive activities that restore mobility and independence. Starting 01/05/2026, you’ll engage in assignments that typically run for weeks to several months, with guaranteed 40 hours per week and a competitive weekly pay range of $2,184 to $2,309. This is more than a job; it’s an opportunity to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives, using evidence‑based techniques, compassionate communication, and collaborative care to accelerate recovery and promote long‑term wellness. You’ll have the chance to adapt therapies to inpatient, outpatient, school, or skilled nursing settings, tailoring your approach to each patient’s goals while expanding your professional repertoire and confidence.

West Branch sits amid northern Michigan’s natural splendor, offering access to quiet neighborhoods, forested trails, and nearby lakes that invite exploration after shifts. This location provides a balanced rhythm of meaningful work and restorative outdoor experiences, with easy drives to state parks, historic towns, and seasonal events that celebrate the region’s culture. The broader opportunity to work in various locations across the U.S. adds even more appeal, giving you exposure to different care environments, patient populations, and clinical challenges that sharpen skills, broaden perspective, and enrich your professional story. Whether you pursue short assignments or longer tours, you’ll benefit from diverse cases, strong professional networks, and the chance to build a robust travel résumé.

Role specifics include conducting comprehensive evaluations, establishing measurable goals, and implementing therapy plans that combine manual techniques, therapeutic exercise, gait and balance training, neuromuscular reeducation, mobility training, and adaptive equipment recommendations. You’ll document progress, communicate with physicians and care teams, and adjust plans as patients respond. The position emphasizes growth—access to continuing education, potential specialty tracks, and mentorship to help you advance within the Physical Therapy field. You’ll also enjoy competitive benefits that recognize your expertise: a sign‑on or performance bonus, dedicated housing assistance, options for contract extensions, and a support network that makes travel seamless. Our 24/7 travel support keeps you protected and connected—from onboarding through on‑site clinical orientation to ongoing troubleshooting—so you can focus on patient outcomes rather than logistics. You’ll join a community that values your voice, your clinical judgment, and your commitment to patient‑centered care.

Company values center on empowerment and long‑term career advancement. We’re dedicated to creating a supportive, collaborative environment where therapists grow, leaders mentor, and professional development is part of the daily routine. Expect transparent communication, consistent scheduling, access to resources, and a culture that rewards initiative, reliability, and compassionate care. By choosing this path, you join a network that prioritizes your well‑being, respects your professional autonomy, and champions your ability to help patients reclaim independence and quality of life.
