Physical Therapist Jobs in Massachusetts: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a physical therapist in Massachusetts?
To work as a physical therapist in Massachusetts, you must earn a Doctor of Physical Therapy from a CAPTE-accredited program, pass the National Physical Therapy Examination, and obtain licensure through the Massachusetts Board of Allied Health Professions. Applications are submitted through the Board's online portal. Massachusetts does not participate in the PT Compact, so out-of-state candidates must apply directly for a Massachusetts license before practicing.
How much do physical therapists make in Massachusetts?
Physical therapists in Massachusetts earn a median of about $103,790 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $82,760 for the lowest 10% to over $130,220 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire physical therapists in Massachusetts?
Employers hiring physical therapists in Massachusetts right now include HiredFirst, Beth Israel Lahey Health, and Evolve Therapy Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Massachusetts's concentration of major academic medical centers and specialty rehabilitation networks means many openings carry strong clinical training and continuing education benefits alongside competitive positions.
Which Massachusetts cities have the most physical therapist jobs?
Boston, Worcester, and Plymouth have the most physical therapist openings in Massachusetts. Boston drives the largest share given its dense cluster of academic medical centers and specialty hospitals, while Worcester supports steady demand through UMass Memorial Health, and Springfield anchors western Massachusetts with Baystate Health's network of outpatient and inpatient PT settings.
Are there remote physical therapist jobs in Massachusetts?
Yes, but they're rare. Physical therapy is a hands-on, patient-facing profession, which means most roles require in-person presence. About 5% of physical therapist openings tied to Massachusetts are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those positions are almost entirely in telehealth consultations, clinical education, or care coordination rather than direct patient treatment.
How can I get hired as a physical therapist in Massachusetts with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to new-graduate clinical residency programs, which Mass General Brigham, Spaulding Rehabilitation Network, and Boston Children's Hospital all offer in orthopedics, neurology, and pediatrics. Candidates without residency experience often enter through per-diem or float-pool positions at skilled nursing facilities, then move into hospital outpatient roles. A Massachusetts license in hand before you apply and any APTA-recognized specialty coursework completed during your DPT program will strengthen your candidacy considerably.
Where can I find and apply to physical therapist jobs in Massachusetts?
You can find and apply to physical therapist jobs in Massachusetts on Migrate Mate, which lists current Massachusetts openings updated regularly. Search the listings, find roles that match your specialty and preferred setting, and apply directly to the employers posting them.
