Mid Level
Step into a transformative opportunity as a Travel Physical Therapist in Missouri, Mound City, where your expertise will empower patients to regain mobility and independence. In this role you’ll assess, treat, and guide individuals through tailored rehabilitation plans designed to restore strength, reduce pain, and accelerate recovery after surgery, injury, or illness. Your hands-on skills, evidence-based approach, and compassionate communication will help people reclaim daily function, return to cherished activities, and rebuild confidence. You’ll be central to a patient’s journey toward better quality of life, collaborating with physicians, nurses, and other therapists to ensure cohesive care. Missouri’s landscapes offer more than a backdrop; they provide moments of renewal that refresh your clinical focus as you care for diverse populations across rural and community hospitals. The beauty of the state is not just in its scenery—though it includes the shimmering waters of lakes, winding river bluffs, and forested trails—but in the meaningful connections you’ll forge with patients and families along the way. From the quiet charm of small-town clinics to the opportunities to explore Missouri’s outdoor spaces on weekends, this assignment invites you to grow professionally while embracing the richness of the state’s culture and scenery. Missouri’s breadth also opens doors to potential future assignments across the country, expanding your clinical versatility in settings ranging from acute care to outpatient and rehab programs, all while maintaining a consistent focus on top-quality PT care.
Location benefits and experiences are a core part of this opportunity. Mound City offers a warm, close-knit community with accessible amenities, affordable living, and a schedule that respects your personal life as you deliver essential rehabilitation services. You’ll enjoy the balance of meaningful, hands-on PT work in a stable community environment with the flexibility to travel to other sites within a national network. The chance to work across multiple locations during your contract can broaden your professional lens—exposure to varied patient populations, different care models, and interdisciplinary collaboration—while still enjoying the support and resources you expect from a travel assignment. Whether you’re zigzagging through rural clinics or stepping into larger regional centers for shorter stints, you’ll experience distinctive regional care practices, gain broad clinical exposure, and develop a versatile repertoire that strengthens your resume and expands your career horizons. The travel component also offers the thrill of new places, new colleagues, and new clinical challenges, all while maintaining a strong foundation of clinical autonomy and professional support.
Role specifics and benefits. As a Physical Therapist dedicated to this specialty, you will perform comprehensive PT evaluations, develop and implement individualized therapy plans, and modify interventions based on patient progress and functional goals. You’ll guide patients through therapeutic exercises, manual techniques, gait and balance training, assistive device education, and modalities that optimize recovery and prevent setbacks. You’ll monitor outcomes, document progress in the patient record, and communicate clearly with the care team to ensure seamless transitions through stages of rehab and discharge planning. Your professional growth will be supported through access to evidence-based continuing education, mentorship opportunities, and pathways to expand into sub-specialties within physical therapy. The position emphasizes growth within the specialty—whether you want to deepen orthopedic rehabilitation, enhance neuromuscular rehabilitation, or broaden your scope with care coordination and patient education.
Salary and incentives are designed to recognize your expertise. The role offers competitive weekly pay ranging from $2,061 to $2,159, with an emphasis on rewarding skill, dedication, and impact. In addition to compensation, you may have access to a bonus program and housing assistance to ease relocation and housing logistics during your assignment. There are extension opportunities that provide continuity for both patients and clinicians, allowing you to deepen relationships, refine techniques, and build a more robust professional portfolio. A core feature of this engagement is the comprehensive support available to you as you travel with the company, including 24/7 assistance from a dedicated support team to address scheduling, clinical questions, or housing and logistic needs whenever you need it. Start Date is February 24, 2026, for an assignment spanning multiple weeks, with flexible duration and scheduling aligned to unit staffing and patient needs. While the contract structure offers freedom and variety, note that guaranteed hours are not provided in this assignment, which is typical for many travel engagements that prioritize placement across multiple sites. The hours and pay rates listed are estimates and may vary. Final compensation packages and guaranteed hours will be confirmed during the hiring process.
Company values and culture. Our client is committed to empowering its staff through clear career pathways, ongoing professional development, and a supportive work environment. You’ll join a culture that values collaboration, patient-centered care, and continuous improvement, with leadership that backs you in pursuing advanced certifications, cross-functional learning, and opportunities to mentor newer PTs. The organization prioritizes your well-being and professional growth, providing resources, training, and a team climate that recognizes your contributions and supports your ambitions.
