A New Chapter for a Longtime Focus
Travel therapy clinicians are a valued part of Advantis Medical’s allied health strategy. And as demand accelerates nationwide, we’re taking a bold step forward.
In 2025, Advantis officially launched a new dedicated therapy division designed to make travel therapy a strategic centerpiece of our business.
This new chapter isn’t about starting fresh—it’s about building on a solid foundation.
For years, we’ve matched travel physical therapists, occupational therapists, PTAs, and OTAs with rewarding assignments. Now, we’re scaling those efforts, growing our team, and investing deeply in quality and volume to lead the future of travel therapy jobs.
We’ve always been recognized for supporting travel nurses with concierge-level service, streamlined credentialing, and access to top-tier job opportunities across the country. We’re bringing that same Gold Standard approach to travel therapy and building something even bigger.
“With this new division, we’re not just expanding in the travel therapy space; we’re raising the bar with the goal to be #1,” said Steve Belcher, President of Advantis Medical.
Seizing the Moment: Why We’re Doubling Down on Travel Therapy
The therapy industry has entered a new era of growth. The need for travel rehab professionals has never been greater.
Multiple national labor reports project that demand for physical therapy jobs will increase 11% by 2032, while occupational therapy jobs are projected to grow by 14% over the same period, both well above the national average for all occupations.
This isn’t just about demographics. What’s causing this boom? Multiple sources suggest this surge is because:
- An aging population: By 2030, 1 in 5 Americans will be over 65, dramatically increasing demand for mobility, injury prevention, and rehabilitation services.
- A shift to outpatient rehab: As hospitals reduce readmissions and prioritize cost-effective recovery, outpatient and post-acute therapy are booming.
- A national therapist shortage: In rural areas, healthcare organizations struggle to find and retain skilled rehab professionals, creating prime opportunities for travel therapists.
It’s clear that travel physical therapy jobs and travel occupational therapy jobs aren’t just in demand.
Travel physical therapists are critical to meeting the future of patient care.
What Sets Advantis Apart: Milestones in Our Strategic Expansion
Our approach isn’t just about volume; it’s about building a gold-standard experience for both clinicians and facilities.
Advantis Medical has rapidly scaled our presence and leadership with investment in our new, dedicated therapy division.
2025 marked a pivotal moment with the strategic launch of a dedicated travel therapy division designed to scale our presence and leadership in this vital sector.
We didn’t just start a gradual expansion. We invested heavily to solidify our position as the industry leader.
- Tripled our therapy job volume since the start of 2025, providing unmatched access to assignments.
- Signed nearly a dozen new premier healthcare facilities, expanding our direct travel therapy jobs.
- Launched over 500 new therapy job search pages to make it easier than ever to find state- and specialty-specific roles.
- Tripled our therapy recruiting team, hiring exclusively from within the therapy space to guarantee deep industry expertise and peer-level understanding.
- Expanded our facility partnerships, focused on securing top-paying, exclusive contracts to benefit our clinicians.
Every investment has been made with one goal: to become the #1 travel therapy staffing agency in the country.
“This isn’t just another vertical—we’re making travel therapy a strategic cornerstone of our company. It’s backed by investment, leadership, and a relentless focus on the experience of both our clinicians and our partners.”
—Steve Belcher, President, Advantis Medical
“Every recruiter on my Therapy team has extensive experience in the therapy field. That’s not by accident, it’s by design,” A Rum Kim, Director of Recruiting for Allied Health
Early Momentum: Our Growth Exceeds Expectations!
Even though this strategic and rapid expansion is in its early days, there has been an overwhelmingly positive response to our newest division.
“Although our program is young, we’ve seen excellent feedback from both our therapy clinicians and facility partners. Our hyper-focus fuels aggressive, double-digit growth, and it’s happening so much faster than we projected.”
Steve Belcher, President of Advantis Medical
This expansion isn’t just a win for us. Our success demonstrates therapists need an agency that genuinely understands their needs, treats them with respect, and consistently delivers on its promise to prioritize their goals and preferences.
“Advantis has a knowledgeable, responsive team for every part of the process. My recruiter’s always there to help, no matter what I need.”
Sydney, Advantis Traveler
“I would recommend Advantis to any other medical professional. The support is offered every step of the way.”
Lance B., Allied Traveler
Why Our Strategic Move Matters: A Better Experience for Travel Therapists
Our exciting division growth isn’t just a business decision. We made a profound commitment to travel therapists.
We built our expanded therapy division from the ground up to solve the challenges travel therapists face: credentialing delays, last-minute assignments, and inconsistent recruiter support.
We designed our systems, support, and staffing just for therapy clinicians so PTs, OTs, PTAs, and OTAs succeed in their careers.
With Advantis Medical, you gain:
- Easier access to top-paying, exclusive assignments: Discover opportunities you won’t find anywhere else.
- A recruiter who understands your discipline and listens like a peer: Benefit from dedicated therapy specialists with deep industry expertise.
- An effortless job search experience powered by the most clinician-friendly platforms in the industry: Find your ideal role faster and with less hassle.
- Gold-Standard support every step of the way—from first application to final paycheck: Experience concierge-level service that prioritizes your success and peace of mind.
We’ve applied our signature Gold Standard service model to this new division, earning hundreds of 5-star reviews and becoming the trusted choice for thousands of healthcare travelers.
Built on a Legacy of Service and Success
We built our expanded focus on a proven legacy of success in travel nursing and travel allied health staffing. Advantis Medical has earned a national reputation as one of the fastest-growing, highest-rated staffing agencies in the industry:
- Ranked #2 for nurse satisfaction by MIT Sloan School of Management
- Named 2nd Fastest-Growing Firm in Dallas by SMU
- Named #2 Fastest-Growing Staffing Firm in the U.S. by SIA
- Recognized on the prestigious Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing companies in America
- Listed #553 nationally
- Listed on the Inc. 5000 with triple-digit growth year-over-year
- Listed #17 in Dallas and #49 in Texas
- Listed on the Inc. 5000 with triple-digit growth year-over-year
Advantis didn’t achieve these milestones by chance. They’re the direct result of a clinician-first approach designed to remove friction, build trust, and support healthcare professionals like family.
What Makes Us Different: The Advantis Gold Standard
In a crowded staffing market, clinicians can tell the difference between agencies that treat them like people and impersonal agencies that treat them like placements. At Advantis, we’ve built every part of our therapy division around one belief: therapists deserve better.
“We’re not here to be another agency. We’re here to be the best one for therapists who expect more. That means delivering personalized support, real opportunity, and lasting trust.” —Steve Belcher
Here’s how our Gold Standard approach sets us apart from traditional staffing agencies:
| Typical Agency Experience | The Advantis Gold Standard |
| One-size-fits-all recruiters | Dedicated therapy specialists with deep industry expertise |
| Delayed credentialing and start dates | Innovative streamlined onboarding gets you working faster |
| Transactional job placements | Long-term relationship focus and career growth support |
| Limited visibility into job openings | Customized job matching across 500+ PT/OT specialty/state pages |
| Inconsistent support between contracts | Concierge-level service from start to finish |
Our Gold Standard has earned us over 700 five-star reviews and recognition from MIT, SIA, and Inc. 5000, reflecting our commitment to exceptional service.
We’re applying that same commitment to make travel therapy the most supported, rewarding, and stress-free experience in the industry.
What’s Next for Our Therapy Division
This is just the beginning. As we look ahead, our therapy division will continue to expand in scope, specialization, and technology with these fundamental initiatives:
- Continuously expanding our portfolio of exclusive facility partnerships to provide unparalleled job access.
- Rapidly onboarding new premier healthcare facilities to offer a broader range of high-paying assignments.
- Significantly increasing our dedicated therapy staffing team for the most personalized support in the industry.
- Developing and expanding our online resources, educational content, and license support explicitly tailored for travel therapists.
We’re not just committed to growing this division; we’re committed to leading it.
