As you guide individuals through personalized rehabilitation plans, you’ll experience the reward of watching progress unfold—whether it’s a weekend warrior returning to sport, a recently injured patient reclaiming daily independence, or a senior maintaining independence in the face of aging. This specialty-focused role empowers you to apply your orthopedic and neuromuscular expertise with autonomy, while collaborating with dynamic care teams. Beyond the clinic floor, you’ll enjoy the pride that comes from making a tangible difference in communities you’ll grow to know, all while exploring the scenic corners of California and the broader U.S. at your pace. Ukiah itself offers a welcoming, close-knit atmosphere with easy access to redwood forests, wine country views, outdoor recreation, and the charm of Northern California living. It’s a place where your professional impact blends with a high quality of life, making each week not only productive but refreshingly rewarding. And if you’re drawn to new environments, this travel assignment opens doors to additional locations across the country, expanding your clinical horizons while keeping you grounded in compassionate patient care.
Location Benefits: Working in Ukiah provides the quintessential blend of small-town warmth and outdoor adventure, with nearby coastlines, forest trails, and vibrant local culture. California’s diverse landscapes invite opportunities for weekend explorations—from state parks to scenic drives along the Redwood Coast. As a travel PT, you’ll also have the option to experience other communities across the U.S., gaining exposure to varied patient populations and treatment philosophies. This role supports your professional growth through exposure to different clinical settings, payer landscapes, and interdisciplinary teams, all within a supportive framework that prioritizes your well-being and professional satisfaction. You’ll join a community of like-minded clinicians who value seasoned expertise, evidence-based practice, and the continual refinement of your craft, while enjoying the personal fulfillment that comes from helping people regain independence in a region renowned for its natural beauty.
Role Specifics and Benefits: In this Physical Therapist position, you’ll conduct comprehensive evaluations, design and implement evidence-based rehab programs, and guide patients through therapeutic exercises, manual therapies, gait training, and functional activity retraining. You’ll monitor progress, adjust plans as needed, and document outcomes using electronic medical records with accuracy and efficiency. Your collaboration with physicians, nurses, and other therapists will ensure holistic care, while patient education will empower individuals to sustain improvements at home. The role offers substantial opportunities for professional growth within your specialty through exposure to diverse caseloads, evolving modalities, and participation in case conferences. We emphasize competitive compensation, with weekly pay ranging from $2,444 to $2,605, reflecting your expertise and the scope of travel assignments. A sign-on or completion bonus, housing assistance, and extension opportunities are available to recognize commitment and foster continuity in care.
