Mid Level
Embark on a meaningful journey as a Travel Physical Therapist in California, Sunnyvale, where your expertise in physical therapy will empower patients to reclaim mobility, independence, and confidence. In this dedicated role, you’ll bring evidence-based care to a variety of clinical settings, from outpatient clinics to rehab units, collaborating with physicians and care teams to design and implement comprehensive treatment plans. You’ll witness firsthand the transformative impact of precise evaluation, personalized interventions, and patient education—helping individuals navigate recovery from injuries, surgeries, and chronic conditions with renewed hope and functional mastery. This is more than a job; it’s a chance to influence lives daily while advancing your specialty in a thriving health landscape.
Sunnyvale sits at the heart of California’s diverse Bay Area region, offering a compelling mix of innovation, culture, and outdoor recreation. Working here means easy access to the tech corridor of Silicon Valley, with close proximity to San Jose, Palo Alto, and San Francisco for weekend exploration or professional networking. The climate is mild and pleasant year-round, inviting outdoor activities ranging from hiking in nearby hills to biking along scenic trails. Beyond the local amenities, there’s the allure of California’s natural beauty—from sunlit beaches to redwood-lined forests and expansive parks. This backdrop provides an inspiring environment to sustain energy, focus, and enthusiasm for the demanding, rewarding work of physical therapy. And for those who crave variety, there’s the opportunity to support patient care in multiple locations across the United States, gaining exposure to diverse populations and clinical environments while maintaining a stable assignment foundation.
Role specifics and benefits:
- Core responsibilities include comprehensive patient evaluations, development and implementation of individualized PT plans of care, therapeutic exercise progression, manual therapy techniques, gait and balance training, functional activity retraining, and patient and caregiver education to ensure safe home programs and optimal outcomes.
- You’ll document progress, communicate with the broader care team, and participate in discharge planning to maximize functional gains. Collaboration with physicians, nurses, and assistants will be a daily habit, enabling continuity of care and timely adjustments based on patient response.
- This multi-week engagement starts on 12/29/2025, with guaranteed hours of 40 per week, and offers a confident framework for professional growth within your specialty. You’ll have the chance to expand your clinical competencies across musculoskeletal and neurological rehab, learn best practices for telehealth check-ins, and refine your ability to tailor interventions to diverse patient needs.
- Compensation and perks are designed to reflect your expertise: weekly pay in the range of $2,576 to $2,728, with clear, transparent scheduling and extension opportunities based on performance and clinical fit.
- Additional benefits include a competitive bonus structure, housing assistance to ease relocation or temporary housing needs, and the possibility of contract extensions to deepen your impact and professional continuity.
- You will receive robust support from a dedicated travel care team, including 24/7 assistance while you are traveling with the company, ensuring you’re never alone in addressing clinical questions, administrative hurdles, or logistical challenges. This reliable support system is designed to help you stay focused on patient care and professional development.
