Glenwood Springs, CO
Contracted
Valley View Hospital
Mid Level
Step into a transformative Travel Physical Therapist role in Colorado, where your expertise as a Physical Therapist will catalyze meaningful healing and renewed independence for patients across diverse settings. In Glenwood Springs, a gem nestled in the heart of the Colorado Rockies, you’ll join a dynamic team dedicated to evidence-based practice, compassionate care, and measurable outcomes. Picture guiding musculoskeletal and movement rehabilitation, optimizing functional recovery, and helping patients return to work, sports, and everyday activities with renewed confidence. This multi-week assignment begins on 02/03/2026 and guarantees 38 hours per week, with a competitive weekly pay range of $2,138 to $2,267. Beyond the numbers, you’ll experience a lifestyle that blends professional fulfillment with the stunning beauty and outdoor adventures Colorado is famous for, from the roar of the Colorado River to the serenity of surrounding trails and hot springs. As you settle into Glenwood Springs, you’ll quickly recognize how the town’s welcoming communities support your clinical impact and personal well-being, while the broader U.S. travel landscape offers opportunities to broaden your professional horizon.
Working in Glenwood Springs offers a rare combination of high-quality clinical opportunities and exceptional lifestyle benefits. You’ll enjoy access to state-of-the-art facilities, multidisciplinary teams, and a patient population that presents an engaging mix of acute, recovering, and chronic cases. The region’s natural beauty—famous canyons, hot springs, and easy access to nearby ski towns—adds a unique dimension to your daily routine, turning commutes into moments spent appreciating the scenery, rather than simply getting to work. If you’re drawn to variety, this role provides the chance to work in different locations across the U.S., exposing you to diverse practice environments, patient demographics, and health system models. The experience you gain in Glenwood Springs can serve as a launching pad for broader travel assignments, career diversification, and professional visibility within the therapy community. You’ll also appreciate flexible scheduling options and the stability that comes with guaranteed hours, enabling you to plan personal time, continuing education, and outdoor adventures without compromise.
In this role, you’ll deliver comprehensive physical therapy services with a focus on functional restoration, gait and balance training, pain management, patient education, and home exercise program development. Key responsibilities include evaluating patients’ musculoskeletal function, formulating individualized treatment plans, implementing evidence-based interventions, and consistently documenting progress notes to inform continuity of care. You’ll collaborate closely with physicians, nurses, and occupational therapists to coordinate care plans, monitor outcomes, and adjust interventions as patients advance. The position emphasizes professional growth within the specialty, offering exposure to orthopedic rehabilitation, sports medicine, and neurorehabilitation components as appropriate to the caseload. You’ll have access to ongoing clinical mentorship, continuing education opportunities, and the chance to pursue specialty certifications that align with your career goals. The program’s supportive structure is designed to accelerate your growth while maintaining high standards of patient safety and ethical practice.
To accompany clinical excellence, the opportunity includes competitive benefits designed to reward your commitment and help you thrive. In addition to the base compensation, a signing or performance bonus is available, and housing assistance assists you in securing comfortable accommodations close to your assignment site. The travel model includes extension opportunities—if you enjoy the setting and the team you’re a part of, there’s potential for contract extensions that align with personal and professional objectives. You won’t be left to navigate logistics on your own; 24/7 support is provided as you travel with the company, ensuring rapid access to scheduling, billing, clinical resources, and on-site troubleshooting. This level of comprehensive support means you can focus on delivering outstanding patient care, knowing help is always a call or message away, no matter where your assignment takes you within the United States.
Our company is built on empowering clinicians to pursue ambitious careers in a supportive, collaborative environment. We value patient-centered care, professionalism, and continuous improvement, and we back those values with structured career advancement pathways, peer mentorship, and a culture that recognizes and rewards dedication. You’ll be part of a team that respects work-life balance, prioritizes your mental and physical well-being, and encourages you to expand your clinical skill set through hands-on experiences, trainings, and cross-disciplinary collaboration. Whether you’re aiming to deepen your orthopedic expertise, broaden into geriatrics or sports rehabilitation, or explore innovative therapy modalities, this role is designed to propel you toward your next milestone while preserving the autonomy you value as a clinician.
If you’re ready to elevate your practice, embrace Colorado’s extraordinary landscapes, and join a company devoted to your professional development, apply today. This is your invitation to contribute meaningfully to patient journeys, grow through diverse clinical experiences, and enjoy a travel-friendly position that respects your expertise and your time outside the clinic. Begin your next chapter as a Travel Physical Therapist in Glenwood Springs, with a base in a thriving health community, access to robust support systems, and a pathway to extended opportunities that reflect your ambition and commitment. Ready to explore new horizons, influence outcomes, and advance your career? Join us and shape the future of physical therapy, one patient at a time.
