Physical Therapist Jobs in Virginia: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a physical therapist in Virginia?

To practice as a physical therapist in Virginia, you must hold an active license issued by the Virginia Board of Physical Therapy, which is part of the Department of Health Professions. The path requires completing a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from a CAPTE-accredited program, then passing the National Physical Therapy Examination. Once licensed, you register with the Board and renew on a biennial cycle, completing required continuing education to maintain active status.

How much do physical therapists make in Virginia?

Physical therapists in Virginia earn a median of about $101,450 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $75,720 for the lowest 10% to over $132,860 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire physical therapists in Virginia?

Employers hiring physical therapists in Virginia right now include Ivy Health, FYZICAL, and CenterWell, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Virginia's mix of large academic medical centers, regional hospital systems, and outpatient orthopedic and rehabilitation networks means consistent openings across multiple practice settings throughout the state.

Which Virginia cities have the most physical therapist jobs?

Arlington, Fairfax, and Richmond are the Virginia cities with the most physical therapist openings right now. Northern Virginia and the Richmond metro lead because of their dense concentration of major health systems, outpatient clinics, and specialty rehabilitation centers, while Virginia Beach and Hampton Roads generate steady volume through Sentara Healthcare's regional network and a large active-duty and veteran population driving rehabilitation demand.

Are there remote physical therapist jobs in Virginia?

Yes, but they're rare. Physical therapy is fundamentally a hands-on clinical role, so the large majority of positions require in-person patient care. About 0% of physical therapist openings tied to Virginia are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those positions tend to be in telehealth consultations, home health supervision, or administrative or clinical education roles rather than direct patient treatment.

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

The most realistic entry path is applying for new-graduate or residency positions at large Virginia health systems. Inova Health System and VCU Health both run post-professional PT residency programs in orthopedics and other specialties that are structured for candidates coming directly out of school. Sentara Healthcare regularly hires new graduates into structured orientation tracks at its acute care and outpatient facilities in Hampton Roads. A Virginia Board of Physical Therapy license in hand before you apply, along with completed clinical rotations documented in your CV, is the single strongest factor that moves a new-grad application forward.

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

You can find and apply to physical therapist jobs in Virginia on Migrate Mate, which lists current Virginia openings across hospital systems, outpatient clinics, skilled nursing facilities, and school-based settings. Find the roles that fit your specialty and experience level and apply directly.
