Job Description
Embark on a transformative Travel Physical Therapist opportunity in the pristine mountain paradise of Aspen, Colorado, where you will fuse advanced clinical expertise with the freedom to deliver patient care in a setting that inspires every stride toward recovery. This role is designed for motivated professionals who envision a meaningful impact on mobility, function, and quality of life across diverse patient populations, from acute care to outpatient rehabilitation. Picture yourself guiding adaptive movement, optimizing gait, and prescribing purposeful therapeutic exercise in a landscape renowned for its clarity of air, panoramic peaks, and a welcoming community that cherishes wellness and outdoor living. As you step into this travel PT role, you’ll not only shape outcomes for individuals but also contribute to a broader mission of expanding access to high-quality therapy in dynamic settings. And when you’re ready for a little reprieve, you can pause to savor Aspen’s vibrant arts scene, world-class restaurants, and an abundance of outdoor adventures—from sunrise powder to alpine hiking—that remind us recovery is a journey as beautiful as the destination.
Location Benefits: Aspen offers a unique confluence of clinical excellence and unmatched natural beauty. Working here means delivering care in a town where wellness isn’t a trend but a lifestyle, where your patients’ progress often mirrors the surrounding mountains’ majesty. The environment promotes a holistic approach to healing, with opportunities to collaborate across multidisciplinary teams in top-tier facilities. Beyond the clinic walls, Aspen provides easy access to hiking, biking, skiing, and seasonal events that foster balance and resilience for you as a traveler and clinician. For those drawn to variety, there is also the possibility to extend your assignment or alternate to other U.S. locations through our portfolio, exposing you to different care models, payer landscapes, and patient demographics while maintaining the same supportive framework. Expect competitive compensation with a range that reflects the scope of travel practice, enhanced by housing support and a straightforward pathway to contract extensions that align with your professional goals and preferred cadence of work.
Role Specifics and Benefits: As a Travel Physical Therapist in this specialty, you’ll assume responsibilities that emphasize autonomy alongside collaboration. Core duties include comprehensive patient evaluation, development and execution of individualized treatment plans, manual therapy when appropriate, therapeutic exercise progression, gait and mobility retraining, assistive device recommendations, and ongoing re-assessment to track functional gains. You’ll document outcomes with precision, communicate clearly with physicians and care teams, and advocate for evidence-based strategies that empower patients to regain independence. The position offers significant potential for professional growth within the specialty, including exposure to diverse clinical presentations, complex cases, and innovative rehabilitation approaches that broaden your skill set in orthopedics, neuromuscular rehabilitation, and post-acute recovery. In addition to a competitive pay range of $2,212 to $2,271 per week, you’ll receive a signing or performance bonus, thoughtful housing assistance, and options for contract extensions that reflect your value and preferences. We provide comprehensive support to traveling therapists—24/7 assistance from our dedicated team, help navigating housing and relocation logistics, and a streamlined process for referrals, credentialing, and continuing education opportunities. The role is designed to be flexible, with a duration stated in weeks and a plan to align with your availability, including a Start Date of 01/12/2026 and a Guaranteed Hours of 0.0, ensuring you have the freedom to tailor your commitments while still accessing a robust scope of clinical activities. The environment emphasizes safe travel practices, timely credentialing support, and robust clinical governance to keep you confident and capable as you serve diverse patient communities.
