Pediatric Physical Therapist Jobs in Virginia: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a pediatric physical therapist in Virginia?

You become a pediatric physical therapist in Virginia by earning a Doctor of Physical Therapy from a CAPTE-accredited program and passing the NPTE, then applying for licensure through the Virginia Board of Physical Therapy. Virginia does not offer a separate pediatric specialty license, but many employers prioritize candidates with pediatric clinical rotations or post-graduate residencies. Pursuing board certification in pediatrics through the ABPTS strengthens your candidacy significantly in Virginia's competitive market.

How much do pediatric physical therapists make in Virginia?

Pediatric physical therapists in Virginia earn a median of about $101,450 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $75,720 for the lowest 10% to over $132,860 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire pediatric physical therapists in Virginia?

Employers hiring pediatric physical therapists in Virginia right now include Ivy Health, H2 Health, and Bon Secours, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Virginia's children's hospitals, large integrated health systems, and school division contracts tend to generate the steadiest volume of pediatric PT openings throughout the year.

Which Virginia cities have the most pediatric physical therapist jobs?

The cities with the most pediatric physical therapist openings in Virginia are Stafford, Hampton, and Norfolk. Northern Virginia's density of pediatric specialty clinics and proximity to Children's National drives volume there, Richmond's concentration of academic medical centers and VCU Health anchors the central market, and Hampton Roads' large military family population and growing outpatient networks sustain steady demand in that region.

Are there remote pediatric physical therapist jobs in Virginia?

Yes, but they're rare. Pediatric physical therapy is inherently hands-on, so fully remote positions are uncommon. About 0% of pediatric physical therapist openings tied to Virginia are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and most of those involve telehealth consultations, care coordination, or hybrid school-based caseload management rather than direct treatment.

How can I get hired as a pediatric physical therapist in Virginia with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is applying for a new-graduate or residency position at a Virginia children's hospital or large outpatient pediatric group, where structured onboarding is built for early-career PTs. Inova Health System and VCU Health have historically offered new-grad residency tracks with pediatric rotations. School divisions across Virginia also hire entry-level therapists under supervision. Completing strong pediatric clinical rotations, obtaining your Virginia license promptly after graduation, and pursuing any early intervention training gives you a concrete edge over candidates with only adult experience.

Where can I find and apply to pediatric physical therapist jobs in Virginia?

You can find and apply to pediatric physical therapist jobs in Virginia on Migrate Mate, which lists current Virginia openings updated regularly. Find roles that fit your experience and location, then apply directly to the employer through the listing.
