Description:
A physical therapist (PT) evaluates, diagnoses, and treats individuals with movement dysfunctions, pain, and limitations due to injury, illness, or disability.
They develop and implement personalized treatment plans using therapeutic exercises, manual therapy, and other techniques to restore function, manage pain, and improve quality of life.
PTs also educate patients on injury prevention and wellness strategies.
Therapy travelers are expected to proactively build and manage their caseloads using available patient referrals and treatment opportunities while meeting productivity expectations.
If a treatment session is missed or shortened, the traveler is expected to make reasonable efforts to reschedule or complete the remaining treatment when clinically appropriate and consistent with the patient’s plan of care, tolerance, and availability.
Any barriers to completing treatment should be communicated to facility leadership.
Staffing agencies must review these expectations with their clinicians before submission.
