Physical Therapist Jobs in Pennsylvania: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a physical therapist in Pennsylvania?
You must hold an active license from the Pennsylvania State Board of Physical Therapy, which requires graduating from a CAPTE-accredited Doctor of Physical Therapy program and passing the National Physical Therapy Examination. After passing the exam, you apply for licensure through the State Board, which is part of the Pennsylvania Department of State. Pennsylvania does participate in the PT Compact, so licensed therapists from compact member states can obtain Pennsylvania practice privileges through that pathway.
How much do physical therapists make in Pennsylvania?
Physical therapists in Pennsylvania earn a median of about $101,380 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $76,960 for the lowest 10% to over $127,060 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire physical therapists in Pennsylvania?
Employers hiring physical therapists in Pennsylvania right now include Drayer Physical Therapy, Ivy Health, and UPMC, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Pennsylvania's dense concentration of large academic medical centers, regional rehabilitation networks, and long-term care chains means full-time openings appear consistently rather than seasonally.
Which Pennsylvania cities have the most physical therapist jobs?
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Lancaster have the most physical therapist openings in Pennsylvania right now. Philadelphia leads because of its concentration of major academic medical systems and outpatient orthopedic groups, Pittsburgh follows given UPMC's expansive regional footprint, and demand in cities like Allentown reflects the growing suburban and exurban populations that have added outpatient and skilled-nursing facilities across the Lehigh Valley.
Are there remote physical therapist jobs in Pennsylvania?
Yes, but they're rare. Physical therapy is a hands-on clinical profession, so the vast majority of roles require in-person patient care. About 0% of physical therapist openings tied to Pennsylvania are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions typically involve telehealth follow-up visits, home exercise program coaching, or administrative and clinical educator roles rather than direct evaluation and treatment.
How can I get hired as a physical therapist in Pennsylvania with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry point is applying to a post-professional residency or clinical fellowship, and Pennsylvania has strong options through programs at Jefferson Health, UPMC, and Good Shepherd Rehabilitation that specifically accept new graduates. Outpatient orthopedic and pediatric clinics also hire new graduates as staff therapists under close mentorship. Completing your clinical rotations at a Pennsylvania facility builds local relationships, and having your Pennsylvania State Board license in hand before graduation puts you ahead of candidates still awaiting their results.
Where can I find and apply to physical therapist jobs in Pennsylvania?
You can find and apply to physical therapist jobs in Pennsylvania on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers hiring across the state right now. Find roles that fit your specialty and preferred location and apply directly to the employers posting them.
