If you're a physical therapist or student, you are likely aware that October is Physical Therapy Month. But this year it's going to run a little longer. With a tip of the hat to active boomers, the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) is hosting a "50 Days 50 Ways" event by providing 50 tips on consecutive days. The health tips will run from October 1st through November 19th and will include strategies in injury prevention and fitness as well as encourage semi-active boomers to get active again.
Physical Therapists will play a big part in keeping aging boomers active and healthy over the next couple of decades. Musculoskeletal injuries such as tendinitis, bursitis, and arthritis will need to be treated and healed in active seniors. Bowlers, golfers, and other sport participants will require treatment for the knee, hip, back, shoulder, and neck injuries.
If you are seeking a physical therapy job, you may be interested in a travel career that allows you to work and explore the country. Or, perhaps, you've reached a point in your career where you are seeking a more challenging position, if so, there are thousands of Temporary and permanent positions to choose from.
Travel physical therapist jobs offer opportunities in hospital, outpatient centers, and rehabilitation facilities across the country. Flexible work schedules, competitive pay and benefits, bonuses, free private housing, and free health insurance are all part of the package. And as a American Traveler Allied physical therapist, you can decide when and where you want to work. (Read: What is a Travel Therapist?)
Or, maybe you enjoy the snow and would enjoy a few months in the mountains with ski trails waiting for you when your shift ends. How about exploring the wilderness of the Pacific Northwest, relaxing in the quaintness of New England, golfing in Arizona, or enjoying the non-stop action of Las Vegas? Life, it has been said, is what you make of it. And with travel therapy jobs, the choices are yours to make.
