Physical Therapy Assistant Jobs in Minnesota: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a physical therapy assistant in Minnesota?

You must earn an associate degree from a CAPTE-accredited physical therapy assisting program, then pass the National Physical Therapy Examination for PTAs administered by the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy. After passing, you apply for licensure through the Minnesota Board of Physical Therapy, which requires proof of graduation, exam results, and a completed application. Minnesota does not recognize a license by reciprocity automatically, so out-of-state applicants must apply through the same board process.

Which companies hire physical therapy assistants in Minnesota?

Companies currently hiring physical therapy assistants in Minnesota include Aegis Therapies, Northwoods Rehab, and OSI Physical Therapy, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Minnesota's large integrated health systems and growing outpatient rehabilitation networks tend to offer the most consistent volume of openings across the metro and regional markets.

Which Minnesota cities have the most physical therapy assistant jobs?

The cities with the most physical therapy assistant openings in Minnesota are Minneapolis, Duluth, and Saint Paul. The Twin Cities metro leads because of its concentration of hospital systems, outpatient clinics, and long-term care facilities, while Rochester draws significant demand from Mayo Clinic's sprawling rehabilitation and specialty care operations, and Duluth reflects steady regional hiring from Essentia Health and other northern Minnesota providers.

Are there remote physical therapy assistant jobs in Minnesota?

Yes, but they're rare. Physical therapy assisting is a hands-on clinical role that requires direct patient contact, so remote work is not typical for most positions. About 0% of physical therapy assistant openings tied to Minnesota are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those tend to be administrative, care coordination, or telehealth-support roles attached to clinical settings rather than full patient-care positions.

How can I get hired as a physical therapy assistant in Minnesota with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is applying for new-graduate roles or clinical support positions at large Minnesota health systems like Allina Health, M Health Fairview, or Essentia Health, which regularly onboard recent CAPTE program graduates. Roles like physical therapy aide or rehabilitation technician are common stepping stones that provide supervised patient-care exposure while you complete licensure. Having a completed Minnesota Board of Physical Therapy application in progress and documented clinical rotation hours from an accredited program gives candidates a clear edge over applicants without them.

Where can I find and apply to physical therapy assistant jobs in Minnesota?

You can find and apply to physical therapy assistant jobs in Minnesota on Migrate Mate, which lists current Minnesota openings. Search the available roles, find the ones that match your license status, specialty, and preferred location, and apply directly to the ones that fit.
