Pay & Compensation

The ProTherapy pay index publishes the median weekly pay for travel therapists:

Physical Therapists (PT): $2,340 median weekly for travel PTs, October 2026 (ProTherapy pay index). The same index publishes the OT and SLP medians. A package includes a taxable hourly rate plus housing and meal stipends that are non-taxable when you maintain a tax home and meet the IRS rules.

Before you commit to any contract, ask for a line-item breakdown in writing: the taxable hourly rate, the housing stipend, the meal stipend and the hours guaranteed.

To compare offers, set each agency's weekly gross against the pay index median for your discipline.

ProTherapy Staffing also offers referral bonuses.

Benefits

ProTherapy Staffing offers 401k/Roth IRA without a vesting period, paid time off, sick time, relocation assistance, license reimbursement, workers compensation coverage, and general and professional liability insurance. It does not offer an agency group health plan; an independent insurance broker partner can help you find coverage, and using the broker is optional.

It provides an unlimited CEU subscription, but is flexible if it knows in advance and can reimburse for other certifications and courses.

Its contracts carry housing and meal stipends that are non-taxable when the IRS tax-home rules are met, and it offers company-arranged housing on some contracts and a travel allowance — a lump sum in your contract.

Ask for each benefit in writing, with the offer, before you sign.

Recruiter Experience

ProTherapy Staffing offers 24/7 support for therapists on assignment.

If something significant happens on a contract — a cancellation, a compliance question, a pay discrepancy — raise it with your recruiter in writing and keep a copy.
