Physical Therapist Assistant Jobs in Minnesota: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a physical therapist assistant in Minnesota?
To become a physical therapist assistant in Minnesota, you must earn an associate degree from a CAPTE-accredited program, pass the National Physical Therapy Examination for PTAs, and obtain a license from the Minnesota Board of Physical Therapy before practicing. Applications go through the Board directly, and licenses must be renewed biennially. Minnesota does not participate in the PTA Compact, so out-of-state candidates need to apply for a Minnesota license independently.
How much do physical therapist assistants make in Minnesota?
Physical therapist assistants in Minnesota earn a median of about $66,770 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $58,010 for the lowest 10% to over $77,420 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire physical therapist assistants in Minnesota?
Employers hiring physical therapist assistants in Minnesota right now include Evolve Therapy Services, RehabVisions, and CareAparent, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Minnesota's large integrated health systems, including those operating across the Twin Cities and Rochester, generate the most consistent volume of openings in clinic, hospital, and long-term care settings.
Which Minnesota cities have the most physical therapist assistant jobs?
The cities with the most physical therapist assistant openings in Minnesota are Saint Cloud, Duluth, and Willmar. The Twin Cities metro leads because of its concentration of large health systems, outpatient rehab clinics, and long-term care facilities, while Rochester's demand is largely driven by Mayo Clinic and its affiliated network of rehabilitation and specialty care sites.
Are there remote physical therapist assistant jobs in Minnesota?
Yes, but they're rare. Physical therapist assistant work is hands-on by nature, requiring direct patient contact for exercise instruction, manual therapy support, and functional assessments. About 0% of physical therapist assistant openings tied to Minnesota are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those roles tend to involve care coordination, telehealth support, or administrative functions rather than direct clinical treatment.
How can I get hired as a physical therapist assistant in Minnesota with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to new-graduate positions at large Minnesota health systems like Allina Health, M Health Fairview, or HealthPartners, which regularly hire new PTAs from accredited programs into supervised clinical roles. Completing clinical rotations at a Minnesota facility during your program often leads directly to a job offer. Working first as a physical therapy aide or rehab technician at a clinic or hospital builds familiarity with treatment workflows and makes candidates more competitive when a PTA opening becomes available.
Where can I find and apply to physical therapist assistant jobs in Minnesota?
You can find and apply to physical therapist assistant jobs in Minnesota on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience, preferred setting, and location, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
