ProTherapy has no current travel therapy openings in New York, so there is no New York pay figure to report. Publishing a state number without assignments behind it would be a guess.
Nationally, a travel PT earns a median of $2,340 per week across 348 open ProTherapy assignments, a travel OT $2,280 (from 140), and a travel SLP $2,280 (from 95). Assistant-level pay runs lower: travel PTA $1,540 and travel COTA $1,540. These are national medians, not New York figures.
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 New York market, and they move as contracts fill. Updated 2026-10-05.
