Travel Physical Therapist Job

Step into a transformative role as a Travel Physical Therapist in Virginia’s Richmond region, where your clinical expertise drives real-world outcomes and your care inspires independence. This opportunity places you at the intersection of science and service, delivering patient-centered physical therapy across outpatient, inpatient, and acute rehab settings. Beginning February 2, 2026, this multi‑week assignment invites you to bring evidence‑based practice to diverse populations while enjoying the unique culture, history, and natural beauty of Virginia—from the historic avenues of Richmond to the scenic Blue Ridge and tranquil beaches. If you crave variety, meaningful impact, and ongoing professional growth, this role was designed for you.

Richmond sits at the heart of the Commonwealth, offering a thriving urban core, renowned dining, museums, and a strong professional community. You’ll work alongside seasoned clinicians who value collaboration and continual learning, with access to advanced equipment and robust support services. Beyond the city, your travel assignment network opens opportunities to work in other U.S. locations, broadening your clinical exposure and enriching your professional resume. Virginia itself is a mosaic of experiences: explore canal walks at sunset, hike the Shenandoah Valley, drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway, or unwind on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay. The state’s diversity—historic towns, modern campuses, outdoor adventures, and coastal landscapes—complements your professional journey with meaningful personal memories.

As a Travel Physical Therapist in this assignment, you’ll perform comprehensive patient evaluations, design individualized treatment plans, implement therapeutic interventions, and monitor progress to restore function and independence. Your responsibilities include gait training, balance rehabilitation, manual therapy, strengthening and range-of-motion work, neuromuscular reeducation, edema management, and discharge planning. You’ll document outcomes accurately, communicate with physicians and care teams, educate patients and families, and advocate for evidence-based practice. The role offers tangible pathways for growth within the physical therapy specialty, expanding your clinical repertoire through varied caseloads and settings, with additional opportunities to mentor peers on our platform.

Compensation and benefits begin with a competitive pay model: weekly pay ranging from $1,785 to $1,847 with 35 guaranteed hours per week, ensuring steady income while you explore a range of sites. A sign-on or completion bonus recognizes your commitment, and housing assistance helps simplify travel logistics so you can focus on patient care. There are extension opportunities—if you discover a site you love, you can extend your assignment to deepen your impact and continue earning with consistency. The comprehensive support network includes 24/7 assistance for traveling clinicians, a dedicated travel support team, streamlined scheduling, credentialing help, and rapid access to resources. You’ll benefit from ongoing clinical peer review, continuing education options, and clear pathways to broader responsibilities within your professional track.

Our company values a staff-centered approach, rooted in empowering clinicians to advance their careers while delivering exceptional patient care. You’ll find mentorship and structured development paths, a collaborative culture that respects experience, and ongoing investment in your professional goals through training, feedback, and leadership opportunities in best-practice initiatives for physical therapy.

If you’re ready to advance your practice, embrace flexible travel, and join a company that prioritizes your growth and well-being, apply today. This is more than a job; it’s a chance to influence lives, broaden your clinical expertise, and enjoy the best of Virginia and the broader travel landscape through a supportive, forward-thinking team.
