Which companies hire physical therapists in Michigan?

Michigan's large integrated health systems and regional rehabilitation networks generate consistent openings across inpatient, outpatient, and home health settings throughout the state.
Which Michigan cities have the most physical therapist jobs?
Grand Rapids, Lansing, and Muskegon have the most physical therapist openings in Michigan. Detroit anchors the market through its concentration of major hospital systems and academic medical centers, while Grand Rapids draws volume from Corewell Health's regional network, and smaller markets like Lansing benefit from established health systems and a steady population of older adults requiring rehabilitation services.
Are there remote physical therapist jobs in Michigan?
Yes, but they're rare. Physical therapy is a hands-on clinical profession, so most roles require in-person patient contact and cannot be performed remotely. About 6% of physical therapist openings tied to Michigan are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions are almost exclusively in telehealth intake, care coordination, or clinical consulting rather than direct patient treatment.
How can I get hired as a physical therapist in Michigan with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a formal PT residency program, and Michigan has several through health systems like Henry Ford Health and Corewell Health, which offer post-professional residencies in orthopedics and neurology. New graduates can also target outpatient clinics and skilled nursing facilities that routinely hire DPT holders without prior independent experience. Completing your Michigan LARA licensure promptly and securing APTA membership strengthens your application, and clinical rotation experience at a Michigan facility often converts directly into a job offer.
Where can I find and apply to physical therapist jobs in Michigan?
