Introduction
Embark on a rewarding journey as a Travel Physical Therapy Assistant in Missouri’s vibrant Saint Louis region, where your clinical expertise will help patients reclaim mobility, independence, and confidence. As a Physical Therapy Assistant, you’ll partner with seasoned therapists to design and implement targeted interventions that reduce pain, restore function, and accelerate meaningful recovery. Your hands-on guidance—combined with compassionate instruction and clear communication—will illuminate patient pathways back to work, school, and everyday activities. Each day offers a chance to make a tangible difference, while you grow in a supportive, forward‑thinking environment. The Show-Me State is more than a backdrop; it’s a destination with character and charm, a place where your professional impact can flourish and your personal story can unfold against dynamic urban life and welcoming communities.

Location Benefits
Saint Louis stands as a dynamic healthcare hub, home to renowned hospitals, academic centers, and multidisciplinary teams that continually push the boundaries of rehabilitation. Working here, you’ll gain exposure to diverse patient populations, a broad spectrum of presenting problems, and advanced rehabilitation modalities that sharpen your clinical acumen. The city’s rich cultural fabric—museums, riverfront scenery, parks, and a thriving culinary scene—enhances the overall experience, making it possible to balance demanding clinical work with fulfilling personal time. You’ll enjoy the stability and support of a major metro setting while benefiting from a travel-friendly program that emphasizes flexibility. The opportunity also extends beyond Missouri, with the potential to work in various locations across the U.S., broadening your professional network, expanding your skill set, and enriching your resume with high‑quality, varied experiences. In every assignment, you’ll have access to resources that help you settle in quickly, find comfortable housing, and feel at home in a new community.
Role Specifics and Benefits
In this specialized Physical Therapy Assistant role, you’ll assist licensed therapists in delivering patient-centered interventions designed to restore mobility, strength, and confidence. Key responsibilities include implementing treatment plans, guiding therapeutic exercises, gait training, balance work, ROM and strengthening activities, and supervising patient education on home programs and self-management. You’ll monitor progress, document outcomes in the chart, report changes to the supervising therapist, and ensure safety and infection control standards are upheld. The position offers weekly pay in the range of $1,192 to $1,286, reflecting a competitive and fair compensation structure for your expertise. You’ll have potential for a completion or performance-based bonus, housing assistance to ease relocation and transition, and opportunities for contract extensions that recognize your contributions and skill growth. Our program emphasizes professional development, with access to continuing education support, mentorship, and pathways to advanced practice credentials where applicable. Comprehensive support is a hallmark of this travel role: a dedicated travel coordinator, 24/7 assistance, and real-time access to clinical leadership to troubleshoot challenges as you travel and treat. The arrangement is designed to empower you to deliver high-quality care while enjoying a supportive, well-resourced environment that values your time, your voice, and your growth.
