Because these are small counts, treat them as the range actually on offer in Tennessee 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 Tennessee market, and they move as contracts fill. Updated 2026-10-05.
