Glenwood Springs, CO
Contracted
Valley View Hospital
Mid Level
Step into a rewarding journey as a Travel Physical Therapist in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, where your clinical expertise can transform mobility, independence, and confidence for patients while you experience a region famed for its natural beauty and outdoor possibilities. In this opportunity, you’ll apply evidence‑based rehabilitation techniques to design individualized plans, guide patients through transformative healing, and partner with a dedicated care team to optimize outcomes. Your impact will extend beyond the therapy room as you support patients through goal attainment, empower families with practical strategies, and celebrate meaningful recoveries that restore participation in daily life and cherished activities. This role is crafted for professionals who believe in healing with precision, compassion, and a spirit of adventure.

Location benefits and experiences: Glenwood Springs sits at the gateway to extraordinary mountain landscapes, hot springs, and a friendly, active community. You’ll enjoy access to hiking, cycling, skiing, and cultural offerings as you settle into a town that merges small‑city charm with big‑city opportunities. The Colorado lifestyle invites balance—workdays in a scenic setting, weekends or post‑assignment breaks to explore alpine trails, tranquil rivers, and nearby national forests. For those who crave variety, the program also offers the chance to work in other locations across the U.S., broadening your professional network and exposing you to diverse patient populations, practice environments, and clinical challenges. You’ll find the ideal blend of professional stimulation and personal renewal as you contribute to high‑quality care while discovering new corners of the country.

Role specifics and benefits: As a Physical Therapist specializing in comprehensive rehabilitation, you’ll own a critical spectrum of responsibilities designed to support optimal patient recovery and growth within the specialty. Key duties include conducting thorough evaluations, formulating evidence‑based treatment plans, implementing therapeutic interventions (manual therapy, therapeutic Exercise programs, gait and balance training, neuromuscular re‑education, modalities as indicated), and consistently monitoring progress with objective outcome measures. You’ll document accurately, communicate with physicians and other care team members, and tailor discharge plans to ensure durable gains and safe transitions back to home and community activities. Collaboration with case managers, therapists in related disciplines, and families will be essential as you coordinate care and optimize resource use. This role also emphasizes professional growth: you’ll have access to mentorship, opportunities to hone specialization within orthopedics or neurorehabilitation, and pathways to expand your scope through additional certifications or advanced practice experiences.

Benefits include competitive compensation with a quoted weekly pay range of $2,164–$2,254 for a guaranteed 40 hours per week, reflecting a strong value for your expertise and commitment. Housing assistance is provided to support your travel needs, and there are extension opportunities to continue your contract if you choose to stay longer or to explore other locations. You’ll be supported by a dedicated travel coordination team and receive 24/7 assistance while you’re on assignment, ensuring smooth logistics, credentialing, and on‑the‑ground help whenever you need it. Additional program perks may include a sign‑on bonus, negotiating flexibility at assignment start, and access to continuing education resources to keep your skills sharp and aligned with evolving best practices. You’ll also benefit from robust clinical resources, standardized protocols, and a culture that prioritizes patient‑centered outcomes, safety, and innovation in rehabilitation.

Company values: Our organization is built on empowering staff, promoting clear pathways for career advancement, and cultivating a supportive work environment where your voice is heard. We champion collaboration, integrity, and a growth mindset—values that guide daily practice and long‑term development. Expect a culture that values your professional judgment, recognizes your contributions, and seeks to elevate patient care through interdisciplinary teamwork, ongoing education, and inclusive leadership. As a travel clinical partner, you’ll join a network of professionals who share a commitment to excellence, continuous improvement, and a genuine passion for helping people regain independence and joy in daily life.

Call to action: If you’re a dedicated Physical Therapist who thrives in dynamic settings, enjoys guiding patients through meaningful rehabilitation, and wants to combine professional growth with the chance to explore Colorado’s mountains and beyond, this is the opportunity for you. Apply now to join a company that values your expertise, supports your development, and stands ready to help you make a lasting impact in Glenwood Springs and across the country. Your next chapter as a travel PT awaits—embrace the challenge, the scenery, and the rewarding outcomes you’ll help patients achieve.
