Physical Therapist Jobs in Georgia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a physical therapist in Georgia?
You must earn a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from an accredited program, pass the National Physical Therapy Examination, and obtain a license from the Georgia State Board of Physical Therapy before practicing in the state. Georgia does not participate in the PT Compact as of recent years, so out-of-state licensees must apply directly to the Board for licensure by endorsement. The Board reviews applications and issues an active license before you may see patients.
How much do physical therapists make in Georgia?
Physical therapists in Georgia earn a median of about $102,700 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $78,580 for the lowest 10% to over $130,630 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire physical therapists in Georgia?
Employers hiring physical therapists in Georgia right now include PruittHealth, BenchMark Physical Therapy, and Advocate Aurora Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Georgia's large integrated health systems and outpatient rehabilitation networks consistently post the highest volume of physical therapist openings across the state.
Which Georgia cities have the most physical therapist jobs?
Atlanta, Cumming, and Rome have the most physical therapist openings in Georgia. Atlanta drives the largest share through its dense concentration of hospital systems, outpatient orthopedic groups, and pediatric facilities, while Augusta and Savannah draw steady demand from major academic medical centers and regional health networks serving surrounding communities.
Are there remote physical therapist jobs in Georgia?
Yes, but they're rare. Physical therapy is an inherently hands-on clinical profession, so the vast majority of roles require in-person patient contact. About 4% of physical therapist openings tied to Georgia are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions are almost exclusively in telehealth triage, PT case management, or clinical documentation review rather than direct patient care.
How can I get hired as a physical therapist in Georgia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to a post-graduate clinical residency program, which large Georgia employers such as Emory Healthcare and Piedmont Health operate for new-graduate DPT holders seeking supervised specialization in orthopedics or sports rehabilitation. Many hospital systems also post new-graduate rotational roles in their inpatient rehabilitation units as an on-ramp to full licensure status. Completing all Georgia State Board of Physical Therapy licensing requirements promptly after graduation, along with documented clinical hours from accredited fieldwork, gives candidates a clear edge over those still pending licensure.
Where can I find and apply to physical therapist jobs in Georgia?
You can find and apply to physical therapist jobs in Georgia on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers across the state. Find roles that fit your specialty, experience level, and preferred location, then apply directly to the employers posting them.
