Start Your Career as a Traveling Physical Therapist

It’s an exciting time of life to be fresh out of Physical Therapy school, especially at a time when employment of physical therapists is projected to grow 15 percent by 2032, which is much faster than the average for all occupations. With about 13,900 openings for physical therapists projected each year, on average, over the next ten years, the opportunities are mind-boggling.

Most facilities will hire a PT right out of school with no experience, while other healthcare disciplines require 2 years experience for travel positions. Anders Group offers mentorship for new therapy travelers.

Let’s not overlook the fact that some of the highest-paying jobs in the physical therapy industry are in sports medicine; pediatrics, and geriatrics.

With career options brimming for physical therapists, there’s little doubt of being very gainfully employed. But what about travel, seeing the world, and time to explore options? After all, a job in one facility can become a little stagnant over time, same routine, same place, same people. Isn’t it possible to combine career and travel, allowing you to explore, earn big, and learn more – all at once?

Yes!

Become a Traveling Physical Therapist and unleash your potential and your wanderlust. You can lock in financial freedom, skill development, professional growth, and immerse yourself in your choice of cultures and amazing locations you’ve never seen. Travel PT unlocks a world of possibilities.

"Being a travel PT is like getting paid to travel! I've hiked in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and scuba-dived in Oahu, and all while helping patients recover." Don A

Because Travel PT positions offer higher salaries and tax advantages, you can achieve financial freedom faster and pursue your personal interests.

“My salary as a Travel PT is more than I ever imagined it could be. I was able to pay off my student loans quickly and now I’m saving for a vacation home.” Allen J
