PT Jobs in Missouri: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a pt in Missouri?

To become a licensed physical therapist in Missouri, you must earn a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from a program accredited by the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education, then pass the National Physical Therapy Examination. Licensure is granted by the Missouri Advisory Commission for Physical Therapists under the State Board of Registration for the Healing Arts. Once licensed, you can apply to positions statewide without additional state-specific exams.

How much do PTs make in Missouri?

PTs in Missouri earn a median of about $29,250 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $28,600 for the lowest 10% to over $39,140 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire pts in Missouri?

Companies currently hiring pts in Missouri include Mercy, Tory Burch, and Saint Luke's, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Missouri's large integrated health systems and regional rehabilitation networks generate the most consistent openings, particularly in urban markets like St. Louis and Kansas City.

Which Missouri cities have the most pt jobs?

St. Louis, Kansas City, and Branson are the Missouri cities with the most pt openings. St. Louis leads because of its dense concentration of major hospital systems and specialty rehabilitation centers, Kansas City follows with strong outpatient and health system demand, and Springfield anchors hiring in southwest Missouri through Mercy and CoxHealth.

Are there remote pt jobs in Missouri?

Yes, but they're rare. Physical therapy is a hands-on clinical role, so the vast majority of positions require in-person patient care. About 25% of pt openings tied to Missouri are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those roles are almost exclusively in telehealth consultation, care coordination, or clinical education rather than direct patient treatment.

How can I get hired as a pt in Missouri with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is applying to new graduate or clinical residency programs, which Missouri employers like BJC HealthCare and Mercy Health run in specialties such as orthopedics and acute care. Candidates can also target physical therapist assistant roles to gain floor experience before transitioning into full PT positions. Completing your Missouri licensure quickly and holding any specialty certification, even a student APTA membership, signals readiness and improves your competitiveness with Missouri hiring managers.

Where can I find and apply to pt jobs in Missouri?

You can find and apply to pt jobs in Missouri on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from Missouri employers. Search the listings, find roles that match your specialty and preferred location, and apply directly to the ones that fit.
