How Do You Find the Best Travel PT Companies?

Finding the Best Travel PT Companies

One of the most common questions we get regarding travel physical therapy is which companies we work with and which travel companies are the best. Surprisingly, we’ve even gotten this question more often than questions about travel PT salary recently. Most new or prospective travel PTs don’t realize that there are well over 200 travel therapy companies out there. With that many different choices, there’s no way to interview them all, much less pick one or two that are better than all the rest in every situation. That’s certainly not to say that there aren’t some that are better than others.

When Whitney and I first started traveling as new grad PTs in 2015, there was very limited information about the travel therapy industry available. Even with limited information, we did our best to find a few good travel companies to work with by word of mouth from current travelers. While that was certainly better than picking companies randomly from a Google search or signing up with a travel company at a conference booth, we quickly found that some companies and recruiters that were recommended to us weren’t very good. The reason for this wasn’t that the travelers we talked to didn’t have our best interest in mind, it was simply because they had limited experience with various companies. When you’re trying to find your first travel job, you only have so much time to put into finding good companies and recruiters, so most travelers pick a couple and then end up sticking with those same ones for their entire travel careers. They may like them well enough, but their perspective is understandably limited. So, the best recruiter and company that they have worked with may very well be in the bottom half of all the options out there. Add to this the fact that current travelers are incentivized to recommend the recruiters that they work with in order to receive referral bonuses, so they’ll often highlight the positives and overlook the negatives of their recruiters and companies. The result of these issues combined are a lot of bad recommendations being given to new travelers!

The Problem with Taking Travel PT Company Recommendations from Current Travelers

Whitney and I were not only impacted by this with the recommendations that we got for ourselves initially, but also when we gave recruiter recommendations to friends and acquaintances during our first couple years as travelers. Once I started writing articles on our original blog  FifthWheelPT  and gradually built a following, I started to get frequent questions about which companies I’d recommend. Being a new traveler, the only companies and recruiters that I knew of were the few that I had interacted with, so I started sending everyone to them. After all, why not? They had found Whitney and I jobs, been pretty decent, and they would also give me a bonus for sending people to them. It sounded like a win-win. The issue was that once I started branching out and talking to other companies, I realized that a couple of the initial companies/recruiters that I worked with either didn’t pay very well, weren’t very responsive, or were lacking in other ways. In short, they certainly weren’t the best travel PT companies.

It was then that I realized the flaws in the travel company recommendation system laid out above. Here are those flaws:

• New and prospective travelers don’t have tons of time to interview dozens of companies and recruiters to find a good fit.
• Since they don’t have the time, they rely on current travelers that they know to recommend companies and recruiters to them.
• Current travelers are incentivized to recommend companies and recruiters that they work with, even if they aren’t the best.
• The new traveler takes those travel PT company recommendations and begins working with subpar companies, and since they don’t know any better, they may or may not be happy with the choice.
• The cycle repeats itself when the following year new prospective travelers look for advice and get recommended those same companies/recruiters from the previously new PT, who is now incentivized to recommend them as well.

What’s the Solution to Finding the Best Travel PT Companies?

I have spent a lot of time trying to figure out ways to avoid this cycle.

It drove me crazy over the years having travelers reach out and ask me questions, only to find that they had been being severely low balled or taken advantage of by their travel company, simply because they didn’t know any better and the company had been recommended to them. These situations are what give travel physical therapy a bad name. Those travelers have a bad experience with a recruiter that is not only paying them a low travel PT salary but also pushing them to take jobs that are not a good fit for them. They end up quitting travel PT after only a couple of contracts and telling other PTs to avoid travel as well. We talked to many of these therapists when starting out as new grad travel PTs, and they really made us second guess our decision for a while. That’s a shame, because with all the talk of burnout in the physical therapy world, I think that travel PT can be a solid choice for many new grads to avoid burnout .

Unfortunately there is no easy solution, and there certainly is no best travel PT company for everyone. They all have their pros and cons depending on desired setting, location, benefits, and pay. That is a major reason why we decided to start this website. We realized that individual travelers can’t put in all the effort to talk to dozens of companies to find which ones would be a good fit for them, but we could. Then when prospective travelers contact us looking for the best travel PT companies for them, we can ask them questions about their needs and desires, and then do our best to match them with a few companies/recruiters  that should work well for them. Since starting this website, we have interviewed several dozen companies and recruiters to do our best to find which ones would be best for various different scenarios. We are now able to give recommendations with a much broader perspective than we possibly could have after only a couple years of being travel PTs and working with just a handful of recruiters.

Ways to Find the Best Travel PT Companies: Ranked from Best to Worst

#1 (Top Choice)

Take recruiter recommendations from a service that has put in the time to interview many different companies to find which ones are great and which ones are not.

• Give us info about your particular situation on our recruiter/company recommendation form and we will match you with a few companies that should work well for you! 

We have spent a lot of time finding some of the best ones so that you don’t have to keep searching!

Get recommendations from an experienced traveler (3+ years). Even though an experienced traveler has probably not interacted with tons of companies over the years, they will still have much more knowledge about the industry than a new traveler. And they have likely changed companies at least a few different times, which gives them more insight into what to look for in a good recruiter and company.

Get recommendations from a new traveler that you know (0-3 years). This is certainly better than picking a company at random, since hopefully you can trust that person to not recommend someone that has been bad for them. But, it’s important to recognize that they will likely have a very limited perspective and will just be recommending to you the same companies/recruiters that were recommended to them.

Use Google searches and job websites to find reviews for various companies and research them yourself. You can sometimes find good companies this way based on reviews, but you’re limited by the names that you know to search for, and there are also limitations to reading through various good/bad reviews. The biggest issue here is that even if you find a great company, you don’t know if the recruiter you get set up with is good or not. The recruiter can really make or break your experience with a company, not only in terms of communication, but also in terms of pay as we’ve found out over the years.

Go to PT conferences and talk to different recruiters and companies to find a couple that you like. This can work, but you have to remember that recruiters are salespeople and your initial conversation often sounds wonderful. They’re trying to sell you on their company and themselves as a person. That initial conversation doesn’t tell you anything about how good the company really is, or how responsive that recruiter will be when it really matters. Also, what often happens is you get signed up for call lists that are nearly impossible to get off of!

#6 (Last Resort)

Rely on advertisements for travel companies and cold calls from recruiters. This is the worst.  Not only does this almost ensure that you won’t get a good recruiter, but often the companies that spend the most on advertising and marketing pay the least! We’ve found this repeatedly over the years. Typically, recruiters making cold calls are either not very good recruiters, or are new, which can be hit or miss. The best recruiters get plenty of business from referrals and have no need to call random people to try to drum up business. Stay away from ads and cold calls!

Other Considerations when Finding Travel PT Companies

We’ve learned a lot over the years about the travel industry and how it works. Here are a few other considerations that you should pay attention to as a new travel therapist looking for the best travel PT company:

• It is vital to work with more than one travel PT company/recruiter on each job search. The main reason for this is so that you have the largest number of job options available to you to find a job that seems like the best fit for you. This is especially true for new grad PTs. Another reason is that this introduces some healthy competition between the recruiters that you’re working with and makes them more likely to give you their best pay offer right off the bat. Recruiters are only paid a commission if you take a job with them, so if they know that you will be getting offers for jobs from recruiters at other companies as well, then they know if they try to low ball you on pay then they’ll likely miss out on landing a job for you.
• Even if you find the best recruiter ever, that doesn’t mean they will always be good. You see, recruiters are people too that have things going on in their lives, and personal issues can easily lead to a recruiter being less responsive or spend less time job searching for you. In addition, good recruiters can quickly become very busy from word of mouth and referrals, and the more busy they become, the less time they have to spend on each individual traveler. We’ve had this happen several times over the years.
• Some recruiters and companies really shine in certain areas, but fall short in others. This is a major reason why taking company recommendations from current travelers with limited experience can lead to issues. For example, you might get suggestions from a traveler that is a school based PT and has found a company that has found them consistent contracts in that setting. You, on the other hand, might be a die hard outpatient PT (like me), and maybe that company has very few jobs in the outpatient setting. Most recruiters aren’t going to tell you upfront that they don’t have as many jobs as other companies in a certain area because they want your business. This can mean that you get strung along and eventually placed in a less than ideal situation once you become desperate and settle. Avoid that!

Bottom Line on Finding the Best Travel PT Companies

Unfortunately there is no one “best” company or even a few best companies since so much depends on your unique situation. Taking recommendations from current travelers is certainly better than choosing companies/recruiters at random, but it can lead to a lot of issues since the traveler is incentivized to recommend companies that they work with whether they’re truly above average or not. This becomes obvious when you see the majority of brand new travelers on Facebook and Instagram raving about their recruiters and companies and offering to give their info out to anyone that wants it. Not only are they incentivized to recommend the ones they work with, but they also have a very limited perspective to know what a good or bad company/recruiter actually look like. Even if their recruiter and company truly are amazing, that doesn’t mean they will be the right fit for you with your unique needs! This is an issue with no easy solution, but we’re doing our best to methodically interview companies and recruiters to find the best travel PT companies for many different situations to give more informed recommendations.

Travel Physical Therapy (Travel PT): The Expert Guide

What is travel physical therapy (travel pt).

Have you thought about working a travel PT contract? Travel physical therapy (travel PT or travel therapy ) refers to working temporary contracts, usually 13 weeks at a time. Travel PTs work at all of the same places that a permanent physical therapist works, such as an outpatient clinic, hospital, inpatient rehab, or skilled nursing facility.

The difference between a typical, permanent PT and a travel PT is that the traveler doesn’t work directly for the facility, they work for a staffing agency that places them on short-term contracts. 

Where do travel physical therapists work?

Travel physical therapists work in all 50 states across the U.S. and occasionally in some U.S. territories like the Virgin Islands. They work more or less in any setting that a permanent PT would work in. The most popular settings are skilled nursing facilities, outpatient clinics, and home health agencies.

How to become a travel PT?

Anybody can become a travel PT and it doesn’t take any extra training or certifications. Even new graduates can take travel contracts. Taking travel contracts, in the simplest terms, amounts to working short-term jobs, for 13 weeks at a time. You do this via contracting through staffing agencies.

Here are a few simple steps to becoming a travel physical therapist:

• Determine why you want to be a travel PT and what your goals are
• Educate yourself on how to be a travel PT. You can start here with these free online resources or with the premium Guide to Travel Therapy course.
• Make sure that you hold a license in any state that you want to work in
• Connect with travel therapy recruiters to help you find jobs
• Search for jobs directly over travel therapy jobs marketplace
• Onboard with an agency prior to submitting to jobs
• Submit to jobs
• Interview for assignments over the phone
• Accept a job offer 
• Credential for the job
• Move to your new location and start the job!

Are there traveling physical therapy assistant jobs?

Yes, there are absolutely travel physical therapy assistant jobs. You can 100% travel as a PTA. Travel PTAs can follow the same steps listed above to become travel PTAs.

What are some travel physical therapy companies?

There are hundreds of travel therapy companies . And, you can work for more than one company. It’s common for travel PTs to work for several companies, and compare/contract jobs and rates before each assignment in order to get the best job and pay rate.

Here are some common agencies that staff travel physical therapists:

• Aureus/Medical Solutions

Where to find travel physical therapy jobs?

There are two primary ways to find travel therapy jobs. You can either connect with recruiters to bring jobs to you, or you can search for jobs online. You can also do a combination of both.

Traditionally, the only way to find jobs as a travel PT was to go through a recruiter and have your recruiter call, text, or email you about jobs. Recruiters still fill that role and do that. However, there are also many marketplaces online where you can go to search for jobs first and then connect with recruiters and agencies who host the jobs. 

What is a typical travel physical therapy salary?

Travel physical therapists can make upwards of $100,000 per year. However, the pay is not that simple to understand and is not the same for each job. For each assignment you work, the facility you work for is going to pay your agency an hourly rate known as the travel therapy bill rate . Bill rates will vary from job to job. They are determined by the place that you are working, and not your agency. 

For each job you work, your agency will take a cut of your bill rate and then you will receive the rest in the form of an hourly rate, reimbursements for housing/meals/incidental expenses, and any other travel or added reimbursements. 

As of October 2023, a typical gross weekly pay of a travel physical therapist, including reimbursements according to Vivian.com was $2,201 a week. On the high end, there are weekly travel PT pay packages commonly reported over $3,000/week. 

What about the PT Compact and licensure for each state?

Travel PTs need to be licensed in each state that they work in. This is one of the harder parts about being a travel PT. You can only work in states where you hold licensure. It can be expensive and time consuming to maintain licensure. 

In comes the PT Compact. The PT Compact is a multi-state agreement that allows physical therapists and physical therapy assistants to work in multiple states.

To apply for the PT Compact, go to their website and follow the directions on that page. Not everybody is eligible for the PT compact. Notably, the compact needs to be enacted in your home state where you have residency. If you are not living in a state where the compact is enacted, you cannot apply to hold a compact license. 

What are the pros and cons of being a travel physical therapist?

Like every opportunity, travel PT has its pros and cons. Here are some of the good and not so good points about being a travel physical therapist.

Pros of Travel PT

• Opportunity to earn more money
• See the country while working
• Ability to take extended time off in between your contracts
• Can work in multiple different settings
• Learn from new patient populations and peers on each assignment
• Grow interpersonal skills, problem-solving, and independence
• Get to avoid the stagnancy of working in a job for a long time and office drama

Cons of Travel PT

• Leaving friends, family, and home behind
• Having to constantly switch jobs and learn new routines and electronic medical records
• Finding housing for each assignment while avoiding internet scammers
• Jobs may require high productivity or patient caseloads 
• Jobs are more generalized and it’s hard to specialize or find jobs in specialty areas 
• No paid time off and you only receive benefits while you’re working
• Can be lonely and isolating if you’re traveling solo

Is it hard to get a permanent job after traveling?

Absolutely not. Physical therapists are always in demand. Especially PTs who have a wide skill set and experience in the field. Travel PT is a great resume-builder because it prepares you to tackle the unknown and become a more independent clinician.

How to navigate travel therapy jobs and contracts?

When considering a career as a travel therapist, understanding the nuances of travel therapy contracts is crucial. Travel therapy provides physical therapists , occupational therapists and speech therapists the opportunity to take temporary assignments around the country while earning a higher salary. However, navigating the contractual terms can be complex. Doing your due diligence upfront ensures you find the best travel job fit.

Travel therapy contracts are offered by staffing agencies who place therapists on assignments at hospitals, clinics and schools nationwide. It's important to understand how your pay package and benefits are structured before accepting a position.

An overview of travel therapy contracts

Travel therapy contracts typically range from 8 to 26 weeks in length, with 13-week contracts being most common. Extensions are often available. The contracts stipulate your hourly pay rate, taxable stipends, reimbursements, and other benefits.

It's key to understand the distinction between bill rates and pay rates. The bill rate is what the staffing agency charges the facility for your services. This is higher than your pay rate, which is your actual hourly wage. Know your true base pay and confirm any bonuses or stipends.

Contracts also outline your expected weekly caseload, housing and travel arrangements, liability insurance coverage, and other assignment details. Read the fine print thoroughly and clarify any ambiguous areas before signing.

Defining the bill rates for travel therapy jobs

Bill rates represent the amount staffing agencies charge healthcare facilities for your services, which includes your pay plus their markup. For example, the bill rate may be $120/hour but your actual pay rate is $75/hour. The $45 difference covers the agency's fees and profit.

Bill rates can range from $100 to $200 per hour depending on discipline, setting and location. Know the typical bill rates in your field so you can better gauge the reasonableness of pay packages presented.

Be wary of exorbitant bill rates over $150/hour, as this likely means your actual pay rate may be on the lower end. View bill rates as a data point only - your priority is negotiating the highest possible base pay for yourself.

Insights into total compensation for a travel physical therapist

To determine your total compensation as a travel therapist, look beyond your base hourly wage. Most agencies offer tax-free stipends for housing, meals and incidentals ranging $1,200-$2,000 per week. Mileage reimbursement for your commute is standard.

Consider bonuses - many agencies offer $500-$1,000 bonuses for completing an assignment. Pay bumps for re-signing a contract extension are common. healthcare insurance, retirement benefits and licensing reimbursements can add to your bottom line.

Crunching these numbers is key to comparing compensation packages properly. Calculate your potential weekly or yearly earnings inclusive of stipends, bonuses and benefits to determine the best offer.

What's the recruitment process for becoming a travel therapist?

Preparing for the recruitment process is instrumental in launching a successful travel therapy career. Most travel therapists secure jobs through staffing agencies who have contracts with healthcare facilities nationwide. Here are key steps in the journey from permanent therapist to traveler:

First, update your resume to highlight your skills and clinical experience. Research agencies that staff your discipline and practice setting. Mobile apps can showcase open positions across the country.

Once you connect with agencies, inform recruiters of your license status, geographic preferences, past clinical roles and salary needs. Be open about the settings and locations that interest you.

How staffing agencies play a role in your travel therapy job search

Staffing agencies are instrumental in the travel therapy process - they contract you for assignments and handle payroll, benefits, licensing and other support. Signing with multiple agencies widens your job prospects.

Vet agencies to ensure proper licensure, longevity, reputation for ethical practices and competent recruiters. Look for customizable pay packages, responsive communication and therapist support services.

Recruiters market your skills to potential facilities and pitch your candidacy. Be thorough and honest when discussing your background - don't overstate abilities. Choose recruiters who listen to your wishes.

Vital background check processes for travel therapists

Background checks are required by healthcare facilities and/or agencies to verify a therapist's credentials and suitability. Standard checks include professional license verification, past employer verification, a criminal record check and drug testing.

Consenting to background screening demonstrates your professionalism. Proactively addressing any potential issues ahead of time is wise. Keep licenses current and explain gaps in work history transparently.

Most checks happen quickly online. Provide requested information like SSN promptly. Criminal offenses don't necessarily preclude assignments if disclosed truthfully upfront.

Considering permanent placement versus travel therapy

Some travel therapists parlay assignments into permanent positions. Facilities often incentivize contractors to stay long-term by offering pay increases or promotions.

Weigh the benefits - higher base pay and leadership opportunities - against lifestyle factors. Travel affords the freedom of exploring new locations and taking time off between contracts.

There's no right or wrong choice. Many therapists strike a balance by working contracts for part of the year and securing a permanent role for stability later on.
