PT Jobs in Tennessee: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a pt in Tennessee?

To become a licensed physical therapist in Tennessee, you must earn a Doctor of Physical Therapy from a CAPTE-accredited program, pass the National Physical Therapy Examination, and apply for licensure through the Tennessee Board of Physical Therapy. The board requires a completed application, official transcripts, and passing scores before you can legally practice. Foreign-educated applicants must have their credentials evaluated through a recognized credentialing agency before the board will review their application.

How much do PTs make in Tennessee?

PTs in Tennessee earn a median of about $30,320 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $21,220 for the lowest 10% to over $42,830 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire pts in Tennessee?

Employers hiring pts in Tennessee right now include Food Lion, Broad River Rehab, and Evolve Therapy Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Tennessee's concentration of large hospital systems, outpatient orthopedic groups, and post-acute rehabilitation networks means openings appear consistently across both urban medical centers and suburban clinic chains throughout the state.

Which Tennessee cities have the most pt jobs?

Nashville, Memphis, and Franklin have the most pt openings in Tennessee. Nashville leads because of its dense cluster of hospital systems, outpatient chains, and corporate health headquarters, while Memphis draws volume through its major academic medical center and large post-acute providers, and Knoxville reflects steady demand from both the University of Tennessee health system and growing suburban orthopedic practices in the surrounding region.

Are there remote pt jobs in Tennessee?

Yes, but they're rare. Physical therapy is fundamentally a hands-on profession and the large majority of Tennessee openings require in-person patient care. About 50% of pt openings tied to Tennessee are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those positions tend to involve telehealth consultations, care coordination, or clinical documentation review rather than direct patient treatment.

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

The most realistic entry path is applying to new graduate residency or fellowship programs, which Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Encompass Health, and several large outpatient orthopedic groups in Nashville and Knoxville run specifically for clinicians without post-licensure experience. PT technician or PT aide roles at Tennessee hospital systems and outpatient clinics are a common lateral entry point that builds clinical exposure while you complete licensure. Having your Tennessee Board of Physical Therapy license in hand and a strong clinical rotation record from a Tennessee-based program gives new applicants a clear edge.

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

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