This specialty role invites you to apply evidence-based physical therapy strategies across diverse settings, guiding individuals—from acute care transitions to outpatient rehab—toward meaningful functional gains. You’ll assess movement impairments, design tailored treatment plans, implement therapeutic interventions, and monitor progress with precise documentation. Your influence extends beyond the clinic walls as you educate patients and families, coordinate with multidisciplinary teams, and champion strategies that boost confidence and resilience. Start date 12/29/2025 marks the beginning of a rewarding assignment with a flexible duration of several weeks and opportunities to extend, enabling you to immerse yourself in Nebraska’s welcoming communities while maintaining exposure to broader professional landscapes. Nebraska’s wide-open vistas and vibrant small-town charm offer a stimulating backdrop for clinical excellence, while Lincoln’s dynamic medical scene provides collaboration with seasoned therapists, physicians, and support staff. And, separately, this state rewards explorers with stunning corners—from tranquil lakes and expansive prairies to colorful autumns along tree-lined avenues—where you can unwind, reflect, and recharge after impactful days of care.
Location Benefits: Lincoln presents a thriving healthcare ecosystem with accessible patient populations, modern facilities, and a strong emphasis on rehabilitation and preventive care.

Role Specifics and Benefits: In this Travel Physical Therapist role, you’ll perform comprehensive PT evaluations, establish measurable goals, and develop individualized treatment plans addressing mobility, gait, strength, balance, endurance, and pain management. You’ll guide patients through therapeutic exercises, manual therapy, neuromuscular re-education, gait training, mobility retraining, and functional activities essential to daily living. Documentation will reflect progress, modify plans as needed, and facilitate seamless transitions to home or outpatient care. You’ll collaborate with physicians, nurses, and other therapists to optimize outcomes, participate in discharge planning, and contribute to program development through evidence-based practices. This role supports professional growth within physical therapy specialties, providing exposure to orthopedic, neuro, pediatrics, or geriatric rehab domains and opportunities to specialize further through in-house trainings and mentorship. Competitive benefits enhance your experience, including a weekly pay range of $2,123-$2,203, with bonus opportunities and housing assistance to ease relocation. Extension opportunities are available, allowing you to extend beyond the initial weeks and deepen your integration within host facilities.
