Physical Therapist Jobs in Montana: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a physical therapist in Montana?

You must earn a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from a CAPTE-accredited program, pass the National Physical Therapy Examination, and then apply for licensure through the Montana Board of Physical Therapy Examiners. Montana also requires a background check as part of the application. Once your license is active, you may practice in Montana, and the state participates in the Physical Therapy Licensure Compact, which can simplify licensure if you hold a qualifying license from another member state.

How much do physical therapists make in Montana?

Physical therapists in Montana earn a median of about $91,450 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $78,490 for the lowest 10% to over $115,540 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire physical therapists in Montana?

Employers hiring physical therapists in Montana right now include HiredFirst, Voyage Health, and Granite Peak Home Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. Montana's mix of large regional health systems, rural critical access hospitals, and outpatient orthopedic and sports medicine clinics means openings appear across a wide range of practice settings throughout the state.

Which Montana cities have the most physical therapist jobs?

The cities with the most physical therapist openings in Montana are Billings, Laurel, and Missoula. Billings anchors the largest concentration given its role as the state's primary regional medical hub, while Missoula benefits from the University of Montana's academic medical ties and a growing outpatient therapy market, and Great Falls draws volume from Benefis Health System's large regional campus and surrounding rural referral network.

Are there remote physical therapist jobs in Montana?

Yes, but they're rare. Physical therapy is a hands-on clinical discipline, so the vast majority of roles require in-person patient care. About 13% of physical therapist openings tied to Montana are remote or hybrid as of July 2026, and those positions tend to be in telehealth consultations, case management, or administrative and clinical education roles rather than direct patient treatment.

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

The most realistic entry path is a post-professional residency or new-graduate program at one of Montana's larger health systems, such as those affiliated with Billings Clinic or Providence Health, which periodically offer structured clinical development tracks for new DPT graduates. Applying to outpatient orthopedic and sports medicine clinics in Missoula or Billings is also effective, as these settings often hire new graduates willing to build caseloads. Having your Montana license active before you apply and completing clinical rotations in a Montana facility gives you a concrete edge in a market where relationship and familiarity with local practice patterns matter.

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

You can find and apply to physical therapist jobs in Montana on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers across the state. Search the listings to find roles that match your specialty, preferred location, and experience level, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
