Travel Physical Therapy Jobs
Traveling physical therapy jobs offer licensed professionals the chance to combine meaningful patient care with the excitement of exploring new environments. As a travel physical therapist, you’ll take on short-term assignments across the country, helping clients regain movement, manage pain, and restore independence. From hospitals and outpatient centers to skilled nursing facilities and home health settings, each travel PT job brings fresh challenges and opportunities to make a lasting impact.
Skills & Qualifications for Travel Physical Therapists
Candidates must have a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree, pass the National Physical Therapy Exam (NPTE), and hold active state licensure to qualify for most travel therapy jobs. Employers also look for a valid BLS certification and at least one year of experience in clinical practice.
Beyond credentials, the best travel physical therapists bring flexibility, strong communication skills, and a passion for patient outcomes. Since each assignment presents a unique setting and patient population, adaptability is key. Experience across a range of therapeutic techniques and environments makes transitioning into new teams smoother and more effective.
