Description

Embark on a transformative journey as a Travel Physical Therapist in Illinois, with an enriching base assignment in Vandalia that blends clinical excellence with meaningful community impact. In this role you’ll assess movement limitations, design and implement personalized rehabilitation plans, and guide patients through recovery to regain independence in daily life. You’ll apply evidence-based techniques across diverse settings, from acute inpatient to outpatient rehab, tailoring care to a wide range of diagnoses and age groups. Your collaboration with physicians, nurses, therapists, and families will create a cohesive healing environment where every session advances functional goals, reduces pain, and restores confidence. As you shape mobility and quality of life, you’ll also mentor less experienced teammates and contribute to program development, setting a standard for patient-centered care.

This position values your expertise, supports your growth, and offers a clear pathway to extended opportunities and ongoing impact. Illinois offers a tapestry of beauty and inspiration that complements your professional journey. Vandalia itself exudes historic charm, welcoming communities, and close-knit neighborhoods where a clinician can weave strong patient ties into daily life. Beyond Vandalia, the Prairie State unfolds with scenic byways, serene lakes, and abundant outdoor spaces—Starved Rock and Garden of the Gods provide unforgettable day trips, while Cahokia Mounds and the Mississippi River celebrate a rich cultural heritage.

The role also opens doors to work in multiple locations across the U.S., enriching your professional repertoire with exposure to different patient populations, facility protocols, and interdisciplinary teams.

Key responsibilities include thorough PT evaluations, dynamic treatment planning, and the implementation of therapeutic exercises, manual therapies, gait and balance retraining, and functional mobility strategies. You’ll manage post-surgical and musculoskeletal injuries, facilitate proprioceptive training, and address neurological or cardiopulmonary rehab needs when indicated. Documentation will be precise and timely, with ongoing communication to supervising physicians and care teams to ensure cohesive care plans and measurable progress toward goals. You’ll champion patient and family education, promoting adherence to home exercise programs, safety strategies, and injury prevention. The position invites growth through specialization opportunities—such as neurology, geriatrics, or pediatrics—plus access to continuing education allowances and mentorship that empower you to refine your skills and expand your scope of practice.
