Helping therapists find adventure and freedom through travel jobs

Travel Therapy Jobs: Get Started Here!

Thinking about becoming a traveling therapist but not sure what that even means? Unsure where to find travel therapy jobs? You’ve come to the right place. This website is full of travel therapy resources created by an expert in the travel therapy industry to help you find success. 

So let’s get started.

What are travel therapy jobs?

In terms of this website, we refer to travel therapy jobs as when a PT, OT, or SLP takes a short-term contract anywhere from 13 weeks to 9 months. Travel therapy jobs are used to fill immediate staffing needs in a facility. 

Travel therapists might be needed because:

• Seasonal staffing shortages
• Medical leaves
• Chronic difficulty staffing a building due to geography or poor management
• Therapists on FMLA

Who can work travel therapy jobs?

Generally, any physical, speech, or occupational therapist can work a travel therapy job, even for new grads. Speech-language pathologists have slightly more restrictions during their clinical fellowship year because they need a supervisor, but they can still work travel therapy jobs; typically a 9-month school assignment. 

Where can you find travel therapy jobs?

There are 2 main ways you can find a travel therapy job. .

• Connect with a recruiter and have that recruiter bring you jobs. This usually happens via phone calls, emails, or texts.
• Follow travel therapy job boards and marketplaces that list travel therapy jobs and connect with a recruiter and agency that way. We are proud to offer a travel therapy job board here with many jobs for you to browse and apply for. 

Travel Therapy Job Boards

These are all places that combine jobs from multiple agencies into one easy-to-use job page.

• The Traveling Traveler
• Travel Therapy Mentors
• Fusion Marketplace

Can I work a travel therapy assignment without a recruiter?

Yes, you actually can. Technology is developing so that you can apply for jobs online and not have to deal with a recruiter at all. The main company developing this technology at this time is Trusted . While Trusted started primarily as a nursing company, they are now expanding to travel therapy jobs. 

While you won’t have a traditional recruiter if you work for Trusted, you do have support from their customer support team to help you get everything you need to have a successful travel therapy assignment. 

Can I work travel therapy assignments without any middleman?

The short answer is yes. The long answer is, it’s difficult. 

A common theme I hear when talking about travel therapy jobs is that therapists don’t think it’s fair that staffing agencies need to be involved in the hiring process. Instead, they want to directly contract with the facility in need of staffing and create their own contract. 

I get it. It stinks to hear that your agency may keep anywhere from 22-35% of your pay to cover their expenses, taxes, etc. 

However, for 90% of jobs, staffing agencies are necessary. This is because the facilities don’t want to work with individual contractors. 90% of facilities are managed by something called a VMS (vendor management software) and those VMSs have specific requirements when it comes to onboarding a company to work with. Many VMSs require that your company already employs a minimum number of therapists and makes a certain amount of revenue in order for you to bid to take on their contracts. 

Therefore, most jobs are not available to a clinician who wants to contract independently. If you do find a facility that is in the 10% that doesn’t work with a vendor, you could absolutely negotiate a deal to work with them directly as a contractor. On this website, we don’t provide education about independent contracting for travel assignments. I recommend consulting with [TravelTax] to learn more about the requirements for setting up an agency to independently contract yourself. 

Where can I learn more about travel therapy in general?

Working as a traveling therapist can be complex. There’s a lot to learn and juggle. Here at The Traveling Traveler, we have a comprehensive library of free and paid information to help you be a successful traveling therapist.

Travel the World as a Massage Therapist

04 Dec, 2023 | By: Diane Sater-Wee

Imagine a future in which you travel the world and make good money while helping others. It won’t take an MBA, JD or Ph.D. to make this vision a reality. All you have to do is go to massage school to become a massage therapist .

Armed with your degree, you will have the opportunity to travel the globe and practice massage therapy at all sorts of facilities.

What is a Travel Massage Therapist?

A Travel Massage Therapist is a mobile practitioner who delivers massage therapy services outside a traditional spa or clinic setting. They travel to clients’ preferred locations, residences, hotels, offices, or events, carrying portable massage tables, oils, and other necessary equipment. Their primary goal is to provide the same therapeutic benefits clients would receive in a fixed location, tailoring the experience to accommodate each individual’s specific needs and preferences.

Pros & Cons of Being a Travel Massage Therapist

Navigating the career of a travel therapist offers autonomy, varied experiences, and potential financial benefits. However, it also comes with challenges, such as irregular schedules, the need for strong business knowledge, and more. Preparing for the perks and the hurdles is crucial in pursuing this fulfilling yet multifaceted career path. That said, here you have a list of both pros and cons of being a travel massage therapist:

• Flexibility :  Working as a travel therapist allows you to set your schedule, accommodating personal commitments or preferences.
• Diverse Clientele :  Serving clients in various settings exposes you to people with different needs and preferences, enhancing your skills and adaptability.
• Higher Earning Potential:  Travel therapists often charge higher rates due to convenience, potentially increasing income.
• Autonomy:  You can choose your clients, work environments, and the services you wish to offer.

As previously mentioned, being a travel massage therapist has many benefits. However, it also has its challenges. In this regard, the following can be the challenges you might face as a travel massage therapist:

• Transportation Challenges:   Carrying equipment and moving between locations can be physically taxing and might require reliable transportation.
• Irregular Schedule:  Your work hours might fluctuate significantly, including evenings, weekends, or last-minute bookings, making it challenging to maintain a consistent routine.
• Limited Workspace:  Adapting to different environments might impact the quality of the massage experience for both you and the client.
• Business Management:  Apart from providing therapy, you’ll also need to manage bookings, marketing, expenses, and client relations.

Prepping for the Job

Travel massage therapy can be challenging, but with proper preparation, you can avoid such challenges and offer your clients the best massage services they deserve. To achieve this, you need to follow these steps:

• Invest in high-quality, lightweight, and easily portable massage equipment that caters to different client needs and preferences.
• Consider a reliable mode of transportation that can accommodate your equipment and ensure your timely arrival at various locations.
• Acquire marketing, scheduling, financial management, and customer service knowledge to run your practice efficiently.
• Familiarize yourself with safety protocols for traveling with equipment and working in diverse settings to ensure your and your clients’ safety.

Clients Abound

Regardless of where you go in the world, people need and desire a massage. You can find work on a cruise ship, at a resort, athletic center and just about everywhere in between where people need to relieve stress. Some massage therapists even set up their own business to provide a mobile massage service.

Your client base is not limited strictly to athletes and those who have physical ailments. People who are on vacation, stressed out businessmen, gym-goers and all sorts of other people will line up for your services. After all, who doesn’t enjoy a massage?

An Adventure Awaits

Take a moment to think about how exciting it will be to globe trot from one exotic destination to another, making well above a living wage and improving the lives of others. If you have any sort of adventurous spirit, mobile massage therapy is perfect for you.

You might find work at a resort or spa in a country that you have always desired to live in. Luxury destinations from five-star hotels to medical spas, adventure retreats and even yoga training getaways all require the services of professional massage therapists .

Working at a resort provides all sorts of benefits that you wouldn’t be able to enjoy here at home as a traditional massage therapist . You will have access to amazing destination facilities, scenic environments and diverse cultures.

Those who desire to embark on a multi-destination adventure will feel right at home working as a massage therapist on a cruise ship. There is a significant demand for massage therapy on cruise liners because their clientele takes to the water for stress relief and fun.

You will have room and board on the ship and be able to stop at ports in cities across the globe. You will constantly be on the move, traveling the waters from one glorious destination to another. A life on the water where you put your massage therapy skills to use is a reality that thousands of massage college graduates enjoy.

People just like you are making good money giving massages as they cross the seas and oceans. This seemingly luxurious lifestyle isn’t a pipe dream in the slightest.

Bottom Line

Becoming a Travel Massage Therapist can provide flexibility, diverse experiences, and potential for increased earnings. However, you must be adaptable, physically fit for transportation, and have strong business management skills. To succeed in this role, you must be prepared to provide exceptional services while navigating different environments and managing the logistical aspects of running a mobile practice.

If you have grown tired of seeing the same faces and places around your traditional job, don’t punish yourself one moment longer. Change your life by enrolling at the American Institute of Alternative Medicine.

Here, you will learn an array of massage techniques that leave your clients feeling relaxed and content. Reach out to us today to schedule a tour of our campus.
