Introduction
Step into a pivotal Travel Physical Therapist role that blends clinical excellence with the freedom to explore across the country, all while serving patients in need of skilled rehabilitation. In Holt County, Missouri, the town of Mound City offers a welcoming community where your expertise can make tangible, life-changing differences—from restoring gait after injury to improving daily function and confidence. This assignment begins February 26, 2026, and runs for a flexible number of weeks, presenting a unique opportunity to expand your therapeutic impact in a supportive, patient-centered environment. With a weekly pay range of $2,041 to $2,125, you’ll find competitive compensation that rewards your dedication as you travel and collaborate with a dynamic care team. Beyond the numbers, you’ll gain exposure to diverse clinical settings, learn from experienced colleagues, and build a repertoire of strategies that elevate your practice while savoring the journey through America’s heartland and beyond.

Location Benefits
Missouri is a state of contrasts, where rolling plains meet vibrant city life and outdoor adventure waits around every bend. In Mound City, you’ll experience small-town charm, safe neighborhoods, and a strong sense of community that values your contributions. The area offers access to outdoor recreation along picturesque waterways and nearby parks, giving you opportunities to recharge after treatment sessions. The cost of living in many parts of Missouri remains favorable, making your travel experience both rewarding and sustainable. As a travel PT, you also have the chance to work in multiple locations across the U.S., broadening your clinical perspective and expanding your professional network. Explore the Midwest’s hospitality, attend local events, enjoy regional cuisine, and unwind in spaces that emphasize well-being and balance. Whether you’re drawn to quiet rural clinics or facilities with more robust caseloads, this assignment provides exposure to a range of patient populations and care environments, enriching your practice while you pursue personal and professional growth.

Role Specifics and Benefits
As a Physical Therapist on assignment, you’ll assume a central role in assessing, planning, and delivering effective rehabilitation programs for patients with musculoskeletal, neurological, and functional impairments. Responsibilities include conducting comprehensive evaluations, developing individualized treatment plans, implementing evidence-based interventions, and tracking progress toward goals. You’ll guide therapeutic activities that restore mobility, reduce pain, and enhance functional independence, while educating patients and families on prevention strategies and home exercise programs. Collaboration is essential: you’ll work closely with physicians, nursing staff, case managers, and other therapists to coordinate care, adjust plans as needed, and ensure smooth transitions when patients are discharged.

Growth and opportunities abound within this specialty. You’ll have a platform to deepen your skills in orthopedics, neuro rehab, pediatrics, and geriatrics, depending on the clinic’s needs, with potential to pursue certifications or advanced trainings that align with your interests. The role emphasizes professional development through mentorship, case reviews, and access to continuing education resources, all designed to advance your career within the broader therapy field. In addition to clinical growth, the position offers compelling benefits: a competitive bonus program, housing assistance to ease relocation or temporary housing, and extension opportunities that let you stay longer if you choose or if the facility requires continuity of care. The assignment includes the flexibility of weeks-based contracts, with schedules designed to accommodate patient needs and your preferred shift patterns, while still delivering meaningful, hands-on practice. A key pillar of support is 24/7 assistance from the company’s travel team—ready to help you with logistics, licensing, IT needs, or any on-site concerns so you can focus on delivering high-quality care. While hours can vary and are not guaranteed, the role provides a reliable framework for clinical impact, professional visibility, and personal satisfaction.
