Travel Therapy Salary in Missouri
For a travel PTA on contract in Missouri, the state issues PT Compact privileges (PT Compact Commission), so a travel PTA licensed in another compact state can work there on a privilege instead of a new Missouri license.

A travel PTA in Missouri earns a median of $1,540 per week on current ProTherapy assignments, with individual contracts ranging from $1,460 to $1,930. That median is drawn from 5 open travel PTA assignments in Missouri as of 2026-10-05.
Medians for the other disciplines with enough Missouri openings to report one: travel SLP $2,190 (from 5 openings). Each figure covers only that discipline — travel therapy pay differs enough between PT, PTA, OT, COTA and SLP that a single blended number would not describe any of them.
Too few current Missouri openings to publish a median for: travel PT 4 ($2,130–$2,630); travel OT 1 ($2,480–$2,480); travel COTA 1 ($1,680–$1,680). Those are advertised ranges across a handful of assignments, not averages.
All figures are advertised weekly gross pay on ProTherapy travel contracts — the rate before taxes, inclusive of any housing and meal stipends in the package. They describe ProTherapy’s own open assignments, not a survey of the whole Missouri market, and they move as contracts fill. Updated 2026-10-05.
