Physiotherapists assess their patients and form plans that are carried out depending on the individual's injury. They maintain, improve or restore physical function by alleviating pain, therapy, and preventing physical dysfunction. Physiotherapists are employed in hospitals, clinics, sports organizations, rehab centers, extended care facilities or may have their own clinic.

This career has minimal growth.

From 2020 - 2021, the annual number of job postings went from 585 to 1526, which was the biggest jump so far.

The growth from then has been minimal, as 2022 had 1687 job postings, 2023 had 1602, and lastly, 2024 had 1292, which is a slight decrease.

The physiotherapy field isn’t rapidly growing but remains very stable. While there was a large increase in job postings from 2020 to 2021, the growth since then has been minimal. This shows that physiotherapy is a steady and reliable career rather than an expanding one. There continues to be consistent demand for physiotherapists across Ontario, so even though the growth rate is low, the outlook and job security are still very strong. I don't think I would go into this career in the future, as I would want more pay, even if that requires more education. While this is a good career choice, physiotherapy doesn't spark as much interest as it should for me to build a career in it.

Starting at $32.00/hour to $50.00/hour.

The low wage, corresponding to only 10% of physiotherapists, is $32.00/hour. I would say this isn't too bad, as only a small number of workers under this occupation get the low wage.

The median wage in this case is $45.00/hour. This is the midpoint of all the wage distributions when arranged in numerical order.

The high wage, corresponding to 90% of physiotherapists, is $50.00/hour. I would say this is a really good wage to earn in Ontario’s economy.

There is a relatively good outlook for physiotherapists all across Ontario. Only a small number of workers with experience as a physiotherapist are unemployed. Because of the variety of places a physiotherapist can work, there are many jobs available.
