Per diem PT work across Florida — pick your shifts, set your schedule, keep 90% of every dollar. ShiftCura launches in Tri-County South Florida on June 15, 2026, with statewide expansion planned for Q3-Q4 2026. Browse PT shifts by city below.
Physical Therapists evaluate movement deficits and drive recovery through manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and functional training across post-surgical, orthopedic, neurological, and geriatric cases. Florida's dense aging population and high rates of joint replacement and stroke mean PT demand in home health and outpatient settings consistently exceeds available staff — making it one of the most in-demand clinical roles in the state.
Florida sets the bar for Physical Therapist compliance. Every ShiftCura provider expects these before your first shift — upload once and your verified profile works across every provider on the platform:
Agencies tell Physical Therapists where to work, when to work, and what they're worth. ShiftCura shows you what's available and lets you choose. Here's what that actually looks like for Physical Therapists in Florida:
Work a morning shift at one facility, a night shift at another, a weekend at a third — in the same week. You build your schedule across multiple providers.
See open shifts with transparent rates. Take the ones paying more than your current job. The market sets the rate in front of you.
Every PT on ShiftCura is effectively a travel caregiver within Florida. Move where the shifts are good, not where an agency sends you.
Work for multiple providers simultaneously. No single bad dispatcher, no one facility's politics controls your income.
Agencies punish caregivers who turn down shifts. On ShiftCura, you just don't accept shifts that day. Next day, your full feed is back.
Picking up a single shift is frictionless — tomorrow's shift is on the same platform, same profile. Single shifts become continuous income.
Per diem PT is a lifestyle choice as much as a financial one: you decide how many visits you take per week, which settings you work in, and which geographic area you serve. The income follows — home health agencies across South Florida pay $85-$120 per visit, and a flexible caseload built around your actual schedule outperforms what most full-time staff PT positions pay. ShiftCura keeps 10% and you keep the rest.
ShiftCura covers every major Florida market. Tri-County cities are live as of June 15, 2026. Other regions are launching throughout Q3-Q4 2026 — join the waitlist in your city to be first in line.
Florida's caregiver workforce has been underpaid for too long. Staffing agencies historically skim 30-60% off every PT rate before you ever see a paycheck. Medicaid reimbursement formulas still reflect numbers from a decade ago. The people doing the hardest work in healthcare have been getting paid the least.
Every shift you pick up on ShiftCura puts pressure on that model. When Florida Physical Therapists have a direct marketplace with transparent rates, the agency economic leverage breaks down — facilities that used to pay agency markups have to reconsider the math. Over time, rates have to follow, because the labor pool keeps moving to platforms that pay fairly.
This isn't just a better gig app. It's a structural correction to a broken market — and you're at the center of it.
Physical Therapist shift rates on ShiftCura typically range from $55–$95 per hour depending on the city, facility type, and shift timing. Night shifts and weekend shifts generally pay a premium. On ShiftCura, Physical Therapists keep 90% of every dollar they earn — the platform charges a flat 10% fee only on completed shifts.
Every Physical Therapist on the platform must have: Active Florida Physical Therapist license in good standing, Level 2 AHCA background screening, Current CPR/BLS (AHA or Red Cross), plus the additional requirements listed in your profile onboarding. You upload your documents once and they travel with your profile across every provider on the platform.
