Glenwood Springs, CO
Contracted
Valley View Hospital
Mid Level
Step into a life‑changing Travel Physical Therapist role designed to elevate patient care, expand your clinical expertise, and fuel your professional growth in a breathtaking environment. As a dedicated Physical Therapist focusing on orthopedic and rehabilitative care, you’ll deliver evidence‑based interventions, develop individualized treatment plans, and guide patients through meaningful recoveries that restore independence and quality of life. This assignment opens a pathway to broaden your scope across diverse clinical settings, collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, and refine skills that will set you apart in a dynamic healthcare landscape. Begin your journey with a strong start on 01/13/2026 for a term defined in weeks, with the opportunity for extension based on performance and facility needs, and enjoy a structured schedule that guarantees 38.0 hours per week while you travel to new communities and clinical environments.
Colorado is more than a destination—it’s a living classroom where mountains meet medicine. Glenwood Springs, perched in the heart of the Colorado Rockies, offers an exceptional blend of outdoor adventure and therapeutic precision. Soak in the restorative warmth of world‑class hot springs after a day of patient care, or tee up a challenging hike with family and colleagues on a crisp evening. The region’s natural beauty—glenwood canyons carved by rushing rivers, evergreen forests, and panoramic alpine vistas—provides a uniquely inspiring backdrop for a healing profession. Beyond Glenwood Springs, the program also offers exposure to multiple locations across the United States, presenting you with varied patient demographics, campus resources, and clinical environments that deepen your orthopedic practice and broaden your professional perspective. Whether you’re refining manual therapy techniques, advancing gait retraining protocols, or integrating progressive resistance therapies, you’ll experience firsthand how geography can shape rehabilitation approaches and patient engagement.
Location benefits extend well beyond scenic appeal. Working in Glenwood Springs lets you leverage a supportive community that prioritizes well‑being, work‑life balance, and professional development. You’ll join a network that values mobility as a career catalyst, offering the flexibility to work in different locations across the U.S. while maintaining a consistent, structured schedule that respects your clinical responsibilities and personal commitments. Expect access to state‑of‑the‑art rehabilitation resources, collaboration with surgeons and physical therapy assistants, and involvement in multidisciplinary rounds that emphasize evidence‑based practice. The assignment also opens doors for cross‑site training, participation in specialty programs, and exposure to diverse practice patterns that enrich your clinical toolkit and accelerate growth in orthopedic PT.
Role specifics are crafted to empower you to lead patients through effective recovery journeys while advancing your own competencies. You’ll conduct comprehensive assessments, determine appropriate therapeutic modalities, and establish ambitious, measurable goals. Your core duties include designing and implementing individualized treatment plans, evaluating progress, adjusting interventions, and educating patients and families on self‑management strategies. You’ll document outcomes with precision, participate in quality improvement initiatives, and mentor less experienced clinicians as you gain confidence in specialized techniques such as gait analysis, joint mobilization, and motor relearning strategies. The position emphasizes professional growth within the specialty, offering access to continuing education opportunities, skill‑building workshops, and clinical leadership experiences that position you for future advancement. In addition to competitive compensation, the role features a bonus structure, housing assistance, and opportunities to extend the assignment based on mutual fit and clinical demand. A robust support framework accompanies you on every step of the journey, including 24/7 assistance from a dedicated travel support team that prioritizes safety, scheduling, credentialing, and issue resolution so you can focus on patient care.
Our company values a culture of empowerment and collaboration. We are committed to fostering a supportive work environment where you feel heard, respected, and encouraged to pursue your career ambitions. You will have access to mentorship from seasoned clinicians, clear pathways to leadership roles, and a community that celebrates your contributions to patient outcomes. The emphasis on professional development means you’ll be encouraged to pursue specialty certifications, participate in evidence‑based practice initiatives, and share insights with peers to elevate the standard of care across facilities. We understand that outstanding care begins with empowered clinicians, and we are dedicated to providing the resources, guidance, and encouragement that enable you to thrive—today and throughout your career.
If you’re ready to apply, seize this opportunity to join a company that values your expertise, supports your goals, and invites you to shape the future of physical therapy across diverse settings. This is your invitation to expand horizons, gain new clinical perspectives, and make a lasting impact on patients’ lives while enjoying the rich experiences that Colorado and other U.S. locations have to offer. Inquiries and applications are welcome from motivated professionals who aspire to lead in orthopedic rehabilitation, collaborate across disciplines, and grow within a company that champions career advancement and compassionate care. Please consider this your invitation to take the next step toward a fulfilling, impactful, and adventurous PT career.
