Physical Therapist Jobs in Arizona: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a physical therapist in Arizona?

You must earn a Doctor of Physical Therapy from a CAPTE-accredited program, pass the National Physical Therapy Examination, and apply for licensure through the Arizona State Board of Physical Therapy. The Board reviews your transcripts, examination scores, and a background check before issuing your license. Arizona participates in the Physical Therapy Licensure Compact, so therapists already licensed in a compact member state can obtain Arizona practice authority more quickly.

How much do physical therapists make in Arizona?

Physical therapists in Arizona earn a median of about $103,220 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $81,560 for the lowest 10% to over $134,050 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire physical therapists in Arizona?

Employers hiring physical therapists in Arizona right now include BAYADA Home Health Care, CommonSpirit Health, and Foothills Sports Medicine Physical Therapy, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Arizona's large integrated health systems and growing network of outpatient orthopedic and sports medicine groups consistently maintain some of the highest posting volumes in the state.

Which Arizona cities have the most physical therapist jobs?

Phoenix, Tucson, and Scottsdale have the most physical therapist openings in Arizona. Phoenix dominates by volume because of its concentration of major hospital systems, outpatient clinic chains, and a fast-growing retiree population, while Tucson is driven by the University of Arizona Health Network and surrounding VA and rehabilitation facilities, and Scottsdale sees strong demand tied to its sports medicine, orthopedic, and luxury wellness sectors.

Are there remote physical therapist jobs in Arizona?

Yes, but they're rare. Physical therapy is a hands-on clinical profession, so the large majority of roles require in-person patient care. About 11% of physical therapist openings tied to Arizona are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions tend to fall in telehealth consultation, clinical documentation review, or care coordination rather than direct treatment roles.

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

The most realistic entry path is applying for a new-graduate or clinical residency position, which Banner Health and Encompass Health both run in Arizona across orthopedics and neurological rehabilitation. Outpatient clinic networks across Phoenix and Tucson frequently hire new graduates for staff PT roles, and a completed Arizona clinical rotation at a recognized site strengthens your application considerably. Physical therapy aide or rehab tech experience in Arizona also helps bridge the gap and gets your name in front of hiring managers at facilities that promote from within.

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

You can find and apply to physical therapist jobs in Arizona on Migrate Mate, which lists current Arizona openings across hospital systems, outpatient clinics, home health agencies, and rehabilitation centers. Find roles that fit your specialty and experience level and apply directly to the employer through the listing.
