PT Jobs in Virginia: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a pt in Virginia?

To become a licensed physical therapist in Virginia, you must earn a Doctor of Physical Therapy from a CAPTE-accredited program and pass the National Physical Therapy Examination. Licensure is granted by the Virginia Board of Physical Therapy, which operates under the Department of Health Professions. After passing the NPTE, you submit a licensure application to the Board and must meet any jurisprudence requirements before practicing. New graduates may begin working under a temporary license while the full license is processed.

How much do PTs make in Virginia?

PTs in Virginia earn a median of about $33,390 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $25,960 for the lowest 10% to over $42,530 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire pts in Virginia?

Employers hiring pts in Virginia right now include Food Lion, Centra Health, and Centra Medical, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Virginia's mix of large academic medical centers, regional health systems, and outpatient therapy networks means consistent openings across both urban and suburban markets throughout the state.

Which Virginia cities have the most pt jobs?

Lynchburg, Richmond, and Virginia Beach have the most pt openings in Virginia right now. Northern Virginia's concentration of large hospital systems and outpatient clinics tied to the greater Washington D.C. metro drives substantial volume, while Richmond benefits from VCU Health and a dense network of rehab providers, and Hampton Roads sees steady demand from Sentara Healthcare and military-affiliated health facilities serving a large active-duty and veteran population.

Are there remote pt jobs in Virginia?

Yes, but they're rare. Physical therapy is inherently hands-on, so the vast majority of roles require in-person patient care. About 20% of pt openings tied to Virginia are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions are almost exclusively in telehealth consultation, clinical education, or practice management rather than direct patient treatment.

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

The most realistic entry path is applying directly to new-graduate residency programs, which Inova Health System, VCU Health, and Sentara Healthcare all operate in orthopaedics and neurological PT. Candidates without clinical hours beyond their DPT internships can also target per-diem or part-time roles at outpatient clinics, which tend to have lower experience thresholds than acute-care hospitals. A completed Virginia license application in process and documented specialty interest, even from student placements, meaningfully strengthen a new-grad application in this market.

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

You can find and apply to pt jobs in Virginia on Migrate Mate, which lists current Virginia openings updated regularly. Search for roles by city or specialty, find the ones that fit your background, and apply directly to the employer through each listing.
