Physical Therapist Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a physical therapist in Florida?
You become a licensed physical therapist in Florida by earning a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from a CAPTE-accredited program, passing the National Physical Therapy Examination, and applying for licensure through the Florida Board of Physical Therapy Practice. Florida also requires a jurisprudence component confirming knowledge of state practice laws. Once your license is active, you can work independently as a physical therapist anywhere in the state.
How much do physical therapists make in Florida?
Physical therapists in Florida earn a median of about $101,040 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $73,630 for the lowest 10% to over $122,880 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire physical therapists in Florida?
Employers hiring physical therapists in Florida right now include Select Physical Therapy, The Lakes Home Care, and Sequoia Care, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Florida's large hospital systems, outpatient orthopedic networks, and home health agencies maintain some of the highest PT hiring volumes in the Southeast.
Which Florida cities have the most physical therapist jobs?
Jacksonville, Orlando, and Sarasota have the most physical therapist openings in Florida right now. Miami and Orlando anchor demand through their large hospital systems and dense outpatient clinic networks, while Tampa's combination of major health systems and a fast-growing suburban population keeps PT hiring consistently strong across both inpatient and outpatient settings.
Are there remote physical therapist jobs in Florida?
Yes, but they're rare. Physical therapy is a hands-on clinical role and the large majority of positions require in-person patient care. About 3% of physical therapist openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of August 2026. The positions most likely to have a remote component are telehealth consultations, utilization review roles, or clinical education and training functions within larger health systems.
How can I get hired as a physical therapist in Florida with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a new-graduate clinical residency, with programs at AdventHealth, HCA Florida, and Encompass Health facilities regularly accepting new DPT graduates for structured residencies in orthopedics and neurological rehabilitation. Applying as a physical therapist aide or rehabilitation technician at an outpatient clinic while your license application is pending is a common lateral move that leads directly to staff PT offers. A Florida license in hand before you apply gives you a concrete advantage over candidates still awaiting board approval.
Where can I find and apply to physical therapist jobs in Florida?
You can find and apply to physical therapist jobs in Florida on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers hiring across the state. Search the listings, find roles that match your specialty and preferred setting, and apply directly to the ones that fit.
