Embark on a dynamic Travel Physical Therapist journey in the field of physical therapy, where your hands-on expertise helps patients regain mobility and confidence at pivotal moments in their recovery. Based in Piscataway, New Jersey, this role also offers the opportunity to work in various locations across the United States, giving you the chance to apply your skills in a wide range of settings—from outpatient clinics to hospital-based rehab and transitional care units. The start date is 01/26/2026, and assignments are typically structured in weeks with a guaranteed 35 hours per week. Weekly pay ranges from $2,029 to $2,104, reflecting your experience and the demanding, rewarding nature of travel therapy. If you’re passionate about crafting individualized therapy plans, objective outcomes, and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, this is your platform to influence lives and shape outcomes in diverse communities.
Nestled in central New Jersey, Piscataway offers convenient access to top colleges, parks, rivers, and a vibrant local scene, while still providing the calm of suburban life. Working here means you can enjoy the best of both worlds: a supportive, close-knit community and easy access to the broader Northeast. Beyond Piscataway, you’ll have the chance to experience a variety of locations across the U.S., expanding your clinical lens and strengthening your adaptability. This program is designed for therapists who value exposure to different patient populations, practice environments, and care models—each experience sharpening your assessment skills, broadening your clinical toolbox, and expanding your professional network. In addition to the array of settings, you’ll encounter diverse case mixes—from orthopedic rehab and neurologic recovery to post-acute care transitions—providing you with rich opportunities to refine evidence-based treatment plans and measure meaningful patient progress.
In this role, you’ll assume comprehensive responsibilities that reflect the full scope of a Physical Therapist’s impact. Core duties include evaluating patients, establishing and adjusting individualized treatment plans, administering a range of interventions such as therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, gait and balance training, neuromuscular reeducation, and therapeutic modalities, and closely monitoring patient responses to optimize outcomes. You’ll document goals, progress, and discharge plans with clarity, collaborate with physicians and allied health professionals, and translate assessments into practical, measurable milestones. The position invites ongoing professional growth: you’ll have access to advanced modalities, specialty certifications, and structured pathways to elevate your practice. You’ll also contribute to care coordination, participate in team-based rounds, and engage in performance improvement initiatives to enhance patientexperience and functional independence. A commitment to safety, infection control, and compliance with organizational protocols ensures high-quality care for every patient.
The package comes with compelling benefits designed to support you on the road. In addition to the guaranteed 35 hours per week and competitive weekly pay, you may qualify for a signed bonus, housing assistance to offset living costs during travel, and extension opportunities that let you renew or expand your assignment based on clinical performance and mutual interest. 24/7 support is available while you travel with the company, ensuring you have reliable help for housing, credentialing, transportation, and clinical logistics, no matter where your assignment takes you. You’ll have access to a robust clinical network, ongoing mentorship, and resources to help you maintain credentialing, stay current with best practices, and advance your leadership potential within the organization.
Company values center on empowering staff to grow, thrive, and advance their careers in a supportive, inclusive environment. We’re dedicated to your professional development, offering structured pathways to leadership, continuing education support, and opportunities to contribute to program evolution across diverse clinical settings.
