About The Position

Embark on a transformative journey as a Travel Physical Therapist with a focus on orthopedic and functional rehabilitation, right in Tillamook, Oregon. This dedicated assignment starts on 03/30/2026 and is designed to empower you to make a meaningful difference in patients’ lives while exploring the scenic beauty of the Oregon coast. In clinics across the Tillamook area, you’ll apply evidence-based physical therapy to help people recover mobility, reduce pain, and return to the activities they love. Your expertise will shape recovery journeys, from post-injury rehab to chronic condition management, fostering independence and confidence in every patient you treat. As you step into this role, envision not only the patients you’ll support but the communities you’ll become a part of—neighbors you’ll encourage, and stories you’ll help write of resilience and recovery. And beyond Tillamook, our program provides the chance to broaden your horizons, exposing you to diverse settings across the United States, while keeping you supported every step along the way. Tillamook offers a unique blend of coastal charm and practical opportunity. You’ll work in a region famed for breathtaking beaches, towering pines, and a welcoming, tight-knit community—an environment that nurtures both personal well-being and professional focus. Coastal lifestyle, outdoor recreation, and a supportive network of clinics create an ideal backdrop for clinical excellence. The role also offers the flexibility to rotate through additional sites nationwide, delivering valuable exposure to a wide range of patient populations, facility types, and care protocols. This combination of dedicated local impact and curated national experiences means you’ll grow as a clinician while expanding your professional network in meaningful ways. In this role you’ll own a broad scope of responsibilities that underscore your leadership in patient-centered care. Core duties include evaluating patients’ physical function, developing and updating individualized treatment plans, and implementing interventions such as therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, neuromuscular re-education, gait and balance training, and assistive device prescription and training. You’ll document progress, communicate with physicians and interdisciplinary teams, and provide patient and caregiver education to support long-term outcomes. Collaboration will be a daily activity—sharing insights with occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, and nurses to ensure cohesive care plans. You’ll also contribute to treatment progression decisions, discharge planning, and quality improvement initiatives. The position emphasizes growth within the specialty, enabling you to refine advanced techniques, expand your assessment toolkit, and mentor junior therapists and aides as you gain experience. In addition to clinical duties, you’ll enjoy comprehensive support from a travel-friendly infrastructure that prioritizes your well-being and professional development. This opportunity comes with compelling benefits that reflect our commitment to your success. Competitive weekly pay ranges from $2,415 to $2,531, with a clear path for performance recognition and potential for a bonus, sign-on incentives, and housing assistance to ease your transition.
