Quick Facts: Physical Therapists
2023 Median Pay

$99,710 per year
$47.94 per hour

Physical therapists help injured or ill people improve movement and manage pain.

Physical therapists typically work in private offices and clinics, hospitals, patients' homes, and nursing homes. They spend much of their time on their feet, actively working with patients.

Physical therapists entering the occupation need a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree. All states require physical therapists to be licensed.

The median annual wage for physical therapists was $99,710 in May 2023.

Employment of physical therapists is projected to grow 15 percent from 2022 to 2032, much faster than the average for all occupations.

About 13,900 openings for physical therapists are projected each year, on average, over the decade. Many of those openings are expected to result from the need to replace workers who transfer to different occupations or exit the labor force, such as to retire.

Physical therapists help injured or ill people improve movement and manage pain. They are often an important part of preventive care, rehabilitation, and treatment for patients with chronic conditions, illnesses, or injuries.

Duties

Physical therapists typically do the following:

Review patients' medical history and referrals or notes from doctors, surgeons, or other healthcare workers

Diagnose patients' functions and movements by observing them stand or walk and by listening to their concerns

Develop individualized plans of care for patients, outlining the patients' goals and the expected outcomes of the plans

Use exercises, stretching maneuvers, hands-on therapy, and equipment to ease patients' pain, help them increase their mobility, prevent further pain or injury, and facilitate health and wellness

Evaluate and record a patients' progress, modifying the plan of care and trying new treatments as needed

Educate patients and their families about what to expect from the recovery process and how to cope with challenges throughout the process

Physical therapists, sometimes called PTs, care for people of all ages who have functional problems resulting from back and neck injuries; sprains, strains, and fractures; arthritis; amputations; neurological disorders, such as stroke or cerebral palsy; injuries related to work and sports; and other conditions.

Physical therapists use a variety of techniques to care for their patients. These techniques include exercises; training in functional movement, which may include the use of equipment such as canes, crutches, wheelchairs, and walkers; and special movements of joints, muscles, and other soft tissue to improve mobility and decrease pain.

The work of physical therapists varies by type of patient. For example, a patient working to recover mobility lost after a stroke needs care different from that of a patient recovering from a sports injury. Some physical therapists specialize in one type of care, such as orthopedics or geriatrics. Many physical therapists also help patients maintain or improve mobility by developing fitness and wellness programs that encourage healthy, active lifestyles.

Physical therapists work as part of a healthcare team, overseeing the work of physical therapist assistants and aides and consulting with physicians and surgeons and other specialists.

Physical therapists held about 246,800 jobs in 2022. The largest employers of physical therapists were as follows:

Offices of physical, occupational and speech therapists, and audiologists

35%

Hospitals; state, local, and private

28

Home healthcare services

10

Nursing and residential care facilities

5

Self-employed workers

4

Physical therapists spend much of their time on their feet, working with patients. Because they must often lift and move patients, they are vulnerable to back injuries. Physical therapists can limit these risks by using proper body mechanics and lifting techniques when assisting patients.

Work Schedules

Most physical therapists work full time, although part time work is common. They usually work during normal business hours, but some work evenings or weekends.

Physical therapists entering the occupation need a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree. All states require physical therapists to be licensed.

Education

Physical therapists need a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree from a program accredited by the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE).

DPT programs typically last 3 years. Physical therapy programs typically require a bachelor's degree, which may be in recreation and fitness or healthcare and related fields, and prerequisite courses such as anatomy, chemistry, and physics.

Most DPT programs require candidates to apply through the Physical Therapist Centralized Application Service (PTCAS).

Physical therapist programs often include courses in biomechanics, neuroscience, and pharmacology. Physical therapist students also complete clinical work, during which they gain supervised experience in areas such as acute care and orthopedic care.

Physical therapists may apply to a clinical residency program after graduation. Residencies typically last about 1 year and provide additional training and experience in specialty areas of care. Physical therapists who have completed a residency program may choose to specialize further by participating in a fellowship in an advanced clinical area. The American Board of Physical Therapy Residency and Fellowship Education has directories of physical therapist residency and fellowship programs.

Licenses, Certifications, and Registrations

All states require physical therapists to be licensed, which includes passing the National Physical Therapy Examination administered by the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy. Other requirements vary by state. For example, some states also require a law exam and a criminal background check. Continuing education is typically required for physical therapists to keep their license. Check with your state board for specific licensing requirements.

After gaining work experience, some physical therapists choose to become a board-certified specialist. The American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties offers certification in clinical specialty areas of physical therapy, such as orthopedics, sports, and geriatrics. Board specialist certification requires passing an exam and completing clinical work in the specialty area.

Important Qualities

Communication skills. Physical therapists must clearly explain treatment programs, motivate patients, and listen to patients' concerns in order to provide effective therapy.

Compassion. Physical therapists spend a lot of time interacting with patients, so they should have a desire to help people. They work with people who are in pain and must have empathy for their patients.

Detail oriented. Like other healthcare providers, physical therapists should have strong analytic and observational skills to diagnose a patient's problem, evaluate treatments, and provide safe, effective care.

Dexterity. Physical therapists must use their hands to provide manual therapy and therapeutic exercises. They should feel comfortable massaging and otherwise physically assisting patients.

Physical stamina. Physical therapists spend much of their time on their feet, moving to demonstrate proper techniques and to help patients perform exercises. They should enjoy physical activity.

Resourcefulness. Physical therapists customize treatment plans for patients. They must be flexible and adapt plans of care to meet the needs of each patient.

Time-management skills. Physical therapists typically treat several patients each day. They must be able to provide appropriate care to patients as well as complete administrative tasks, such as documenting patient progress.

Median annual wages, May 2023

The median annual wage for physical therapists was $99,710 in May 2023. The median wage is the wage at which half the workers in an occupation earned more than that amount and half earned less. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $72,260, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $130,870.

In May 2023, the median annual wages for physical therapists in the top industries in which they worked were as follows:

Home healthcare services

$107,870

Hospitals; state, local, and private

103,690

Nursing and residential care facilities

102,810

Offices of physical, occupational and speech therapists, and audiologists

93,050

Most physical therapists work full time. Although most therapists work during normal business hours, some work evenings or weekends.

Employment of physical therapists is projected to grow 15 percent from 2022 to 2032, much faster than the average for all occupations.

About 13,900 openings for physical therapists are projected each year, on average, over the decade. Many of those openings are expected to result from the need to replace workers who transfer to different occupations or exit the labor force, such as to retire.

Employment

Demand for physical therapy will come, in part, from the large number of aging baby boomers, who are staying more active later in life than their counterparts of previous generations. Older people are more likely to experience heart attacks, strokes, and mobility-related injuries that require physical therapy for rehabilitation.

In addition, a number of chronic conditions, such as diabetes and obesity, have become prevalent. More physical therapists will be needed to help people with these conditions maintain their mobility and manage their disease or illness.

A greater emphasis on non-opioid approaches to manage pain also is expected to support employment growth.

Physical therapists are evidence-based, health care professionals who diagnose and treat individuals of all ages who have medical problems or other health-related conditions that limit their abilities to move and perform functional activities in their daily lives. They offer cost-effective treatment that improves mobility and relieves pain, reduces the need for surgery and prescription drugs, and allows patients to participate in a recovery plan designed for their specific needs. In addition, physical therapists work with individuals to prevent the loss of mobility before it occurs by developing fitness and wellness programs for healthier and more active lifestyles.

Physical therapists provide care for people in a variety of settings, including hospitals, private practices, outpatient clinics, home health agencies, schools, sports and fitness facilities, work settings and nursing homes. Physical therapists also work with all ages of patients. State licensure is required in each state in which a physical therapist practices.

Physical therapists are able to complete residencies and fellowships to continue their education and increase their potential salary earnings. The American Board of Physical Therapy recognizes 10 board specialties like cardiovascular, oncology, and wound management.

As essential participants in the health care delivery system, physical therapists assume leadership roles in rehabilitation, prevention, health maintenance and programs that promote health, wellness and fitness. Physical therapists also play important roles both in developing standards for physical therapy practice and in developing health care policy to ensure availability, accessibility and optimal delivery of health care services.

As clinicians, physical therapists engage in an examination process that includes:

Taking the patient's medical history

Reviewing the medications, test results and notes from other health care providers

Conducting a systems review

Performing tests and measures to identify potential and existing problems

To establish diagnoses, prognoses and plans of care, physical therapists perform evaluations, synthesizing the examination data and determining whether the problems to be addressed are within the physical therapy scope of practice. Physical therapists typically do the following:

Diagnose patients' functions and movements by observing them stand, walk or perform activities/tasks; performing various tests and measures; and listening to their concerns.

Design individualized plans of care based on their medical expertise, best available research, the patients' unique situations and goals and the expected outcomes of the plans.

Use techniques such as exercises, hands-on therapy and equipment to ease patients' pain, help them increase their mobility, prevent further pain or injury and facilitate health and wellness.

Evaluate a patients' progress and modify their plans of care, when necessary, to try new treatments.

Educate patients and their families about what to expect and how best to cope with a recovery process.

Develop and implement discharge plans.

A few of the health conditions commonly treated by physical therapists are as follows:

Arthritis

Back and neck pain

Brain injury

Cancer-related complications

Carpal tunnel syndrome

Cerebral palsy

Cystic fibrosis

Diabetes

Fibromyalgia

Fractures and multiple trauma

Incontinence

Lymphedema

Multiple sclerosis

Osteoporosis

Parkinson's disease

Pelvic pain

Post-operative rehabilitation

Spinal cord injuries and birth defects

Working Conditions

The practice of physical therapy varies by the type of patient. For example, a patient experiencing loss of mobility due to stroke needs different care from that given to an athlete recovering from an injury. Some physical therapists specialize in one type of care, such as orthopedics or geriatrics. Many physical therapists also help to prevent loss of mobility by developing fitness and wellness programs to encourage healthier and more active lifestyles.

Although many physical therapists practice in hospitals, more than 80% practice in other settings, according to the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA). Physical therapists also provide care for people in private practices, outpatient clinics, home health agencies, schools, sports and fitness facilities, work settings and nursing homes.

Physical therapists are on their feet much of the day and spend a great deal of time using their bodies to work with patients or to lift and move them. It's important for physical therapists to learn proper body mechanics and use those principles in their daily work to avoid injuring themselves.

Most physical therapists work a regular Monday-to-Friday work week. Depending on the work setting, however, some may need to work evenings or weekends.

Academic Requirements

To practice as a physical therapist in the United States, you must graduate with a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree from an accredited program and pass a state licensure exam. Generally, students complete a bachelor's degree in four years followed by three years in the DPT education program.

Some programs offer a 3+3 curricular format in which three years of specific pre-professional (undergraduate/pre-PT) courses must be taken before the student can advance into a three-year professional DPT program. A few programs recruit all or a portion of students directly from high school into a guaranteed freshman admissions program. High school students accepted into these programs can automatically advance into the professional phase of the program pending the completion of specific undergraduate courses and any other stated contingencies (eg, minimum GPA).

As of 2015, professional physical therapist education programs in the United States only offer the DPT degree. Check the American Physical Therapy Association's accredited programs directory and the Physical Therapist Centralized Application Service (PTCAS) websites for a list and descriptions of accredited DPT education programs. You can also review the admission requirements for programs on the PTCAS website.

As a physical therapy student, your classes may include:

Behavioral sciences

Biology/anatomy

Biomechanics

Cardiovascular and pulmonary system

Cellular histology

Clinical reasoning

Communication

Endocrine and metabolic system

Ethics/values

Evidence-based practice

Exercise physiology

Finance

Kinesiology

Management sciences

Musculoskeletal system

Neuroscience

Pathology

Pharmacology

Physiology

Sociology

You will also have lab study and spend part of your time gaining clinical experience. Physical therapy students spend 27.5 weeks on average in their final clinical experience.

Once you earn a DPT degree, you must pass a state licensure exam in order to practice as a physical therapist.
