Physical Therapist Jobs in Alabama: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a physical therapist in Alabama?
You must earn a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from a CAPTE-accredited program, pass the National Physical Therapy Examination, and obtain licensure through the Alabama Board of Physical Therapy before practicing in the state. The Board requires a completed application, proof of education, and examination scores before issuing a license. Alabama also participates in the PT Compact, allowing licensed therapists from compact member states to gain practice privileges without a full separate application.

Physical therapists in Alabama earn a median of about $97,290 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $74,770 for the lowest 10% to over $133,710 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire physical therapists in Alabama?
Alabama physical therapist roles are posted by Prohealth, Results Physiotherapy, and Drayer Physical Therapy and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Alabama's large hospital networks and the state's concentration of inpatient rehabilitation facilities make it one of the more consistent markets for full-time physical therapist openings year-round.
Which Alabama cities have the most physical therapist jobs?
Gadsden, Birmingham, and Athens are the Alabama cities with the most physical therapist openings, driven primarily by Birmingham's dense network of hospital systems and outpatient clinics, Huntsville's rapidly growing healthcare infrastructure tied to its expanding population, and Mobile's regional medical centers serving the Gulf Coast. Smaller markets like Montgomery and Tuscaloosa also post consistently, anchored by regional hospitals and university-affiliated health programs.
Are there remote physical therapist jobs in Alabama?
Yes, but they're rare. Physical therapy is a hands-on clinical profession, so the vast majority of roles require in-person patient contact. About 0% of physical therapist openings tied to Alabama are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those positions tend to concentrate in telehealth evaluation, care coordination, or clinical consulting roles rather than direct patient treatment.
How can I get hired as a physical therapist in Alabama with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a new-graduate clinical residency, and large Alabama employers like UAB Health System and Encompass Health run structured post-professional residency programs in orthopedics and neurological rehabilitation. New graduates should also target outpatient orthopedic group practices and skilled nursing facilities, which hire at the entry level regularly. Completing your Alabama Board licensure quickly after graduation and securing APTA membership strengthens an application before the first interview.
