About The Travel DPT

My name is Mason Baker and I am a licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT), certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), and full-time travel physical therapist since 2021. I have had the privilege of working across the country in Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Indiana, South Carolina, and North Carolina—in both acute care and outpatient settings. Additionally, I have experience in inpatient rehabilitation, which has further broadened my clinical expertise. So far, I’ve explored 32 out of 50 states, and the journey is far from over.

This past year, I finally convinced my fiancée, who is also a physical therapist, to join me in the travel life. Now we get to share the adventure together—working side by side in new cities, exploring different parts of the country, and making memories on and off the job.

Travel therapy has allowed me to grow as a clinician, work with various staffing agencies, and achieve the milestone of paying off my student debt. These experiences inspired me to create The Travel DPT, where I share insights and connect therapists with trusted recruiters and companies that align with their goals.

When I’m not in the clinic or working out at the gym, I’m usually out exploring a new city, learning more about personal finance, finding great local food, or catching a sporting event—from college football to courtside seats if I’m lucky.
