ProTherapy currently has 10 travel therapy openings in North Carolina, which is too few in any one discipline to report a median. Advertised weekly rates on those assignments: travel PT 3 ($2,190–$2,340); travel PTA 3 ($1,540–$1,620); travel OT 2 ($2,130–$2,190); travel SLP 2 ($2,190–$2,480).
Because these are small counts, treat them as the range actually on offer in North Carolina right now rather than as a settled rate for the state. For a figure with more assignments behind it, the national medians below cover every open ProTherapy contract in that discipline.
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 North Carolina market, and they move as contracts fill. Updated 2026-10-05.
