Job description

Introduction

Embark on a purposeful journey as a Travel Physical Therapist dedicated to restoring mobility and independence. In this role you’ll apply focused assessments and evidence-based interventions to help patients regain function, reduce pain, and return to work, school, and daily life. Each evaluation informs a personalized plan, and every session moves a patient toward meaningful goals. This assignment blends clinical autonomy with a supportive team, empowering you to grow as a clinician while making a real difference in the communities you serve. Texas offers more than weather and culture—Lockhart’s friendly, small-town atmosphere provides work-life balance, while outdoor beauty and regional charm enrich your days off. If you crave broader experiences, the program also offers placements across the United States, expanding your clinical perspective while maintaining stability.

Location Benefits

Lockhart sits in the heart of Texas Hill Country, a community with a welcoming spirit, easy access to parks and trails, and convenient proximity to larger cities for additional resources. You’ll enjoy a practical home base with a true sense of place, then the chance to experience other locations across the U.S. This variety broadens your case mix and care approaches, while robust onboarding and ongoing mentorship support your transition. Whether you’re exploring local eateries, scenic getaways, or family-friendly events, you’ll find balance between high-quality clinical work and meaningful downtime.

Role Specifics and Benefits

As a Physical Therapist on this travel assignment, you’ll lead comprehensive patient assessments, design individualized rehabilitation plans, and implement evidence-based interventions. Your daily tasks include gait and balance training, neuromuscular reeducation, manual therapy, therapeutic modalities, and progressive strengthening, all aligned with measurable outcomes. You’ll coordinate with physicians, nurses, case managers, and therapy aides to ensure safe, timely discharges and to educate patients and families about home exercise programs and preventive strategies. The role supports growth within orthopedics, neurorehabilitation, or other specialties, depending on facility needs and your interests. Benefits reflect your expertise and mobility needs: a competitive weekly pay range of $2,069–$2,147, housing assistance to ease relocation, and a bonus program recognizing performance. Extension opportunities let you deepen impact across facilities, building a broader professional network. A cornerstone of the program is 24/7 support while you travel, giving you real-time access to scheduling help, clinical guidance, and safety resources. You’ll start on 12/23/2025 for a multi-week assignment with guaranteed 36 hours per week, providing consistency amid travel.
