What are the responsibilities and job description for the Travel Physical Therapist position at Empower Physical Therapy?
Our clinic is nestled in the heart of Alaska, where nature's wonders are at your doorstep. We are committed to providing exceptional care to our diverse community while fostering a supportive and collaborative work environment. As a member of our team, you'll have the chance to work with a wide range of patients, from adventurous outdoor enthusiasts to hardworking locals.

Feedback we regularly hear from traveling therapists, our full-time employees, and from our patients is how warm, welcoming, and helpful our entire team is! We have been voted the Best Physical Therapy clinic of Anchorage and of the Valley for the last two years!
Enjoy the best of both worlds! We offer an exciting benefit unique to our clinic! We know that Alaskan winters are beautiful but can be dark! We have an opportunity for you to get out of the dark winter and enjoy the sunshine on the beautiful island of Kauai, Hawaii! Enjoy free nights and discounted stays to take by being an employee of the company!
Why Alaska?
Alaska isn't just a destination; it's an experience unlike any other. From the awe-inspiring Northern Lights to the exhilarating outdoor adventures, there's never a dull moment in the Land of the Midnight Sun. Imagine hiking through rugged terrain, kayaking alongside glaciers, or spotting wildlife in their natural habitat-all within arm's reach of your new home. Plus, with a tight-knit community and a culture that celebrates exploration and resilience, you'll feel right at home in no time.
We're looking for a Travel PT who is excited to grow and make a real impact in our community. Our ideal patient is what we call the "Alaskan Athlete" - someone who loves staying active, enjoys the outdoors, and takes part in Alaska's sports like fishing, hiking, and skiing. These patients are highly motivated and eager to get back outside and experience everything our state has to offer, so they show up ready to put in the work.
