Physical therapy staffing services FAQs

Can you staff both PTs and PTAs?

Yes. We place physical therapists and physical therapist assistants across all care settings and staffing models, including contract, travel, per diem, and permanent.

How do you approach filling physical therapy vacancies?

Every PT search is different, and timelines can vary based on factors such as the experience level, specialized skills, and market availability of candidates. Our focus is on identifying professionals who not only meet your clinical requirements but also align with your team's culture and long-term goals. Throughout the process, we'll provide transparent communication based on your specific needs.

Do you cover rural and hard-to-fill locations?

Yes, and this is one of our strengths. Travel PT staffing exists precisely because some markets can't sustain permanent hires. Our national network means we regularly place in markets that other agencies struggle to cover.

How much does physical therapy staffing cost?

Rates vary depending on placement type, location, specialty, and urgency. We don't publish fixed rates because the right solution looks different for every client, but we're transparent about pricing from the first conversation. Get in touch for a tailored quote

Can you support broader rehabilitation staffing needs?

Yes. Alongside physical therapy staffing, we place occupational therapists, COTAs, and speech-language pathologists, useful if you're looking to manage your full rehab staffing through a single partner.
