Question
Hi, I want to know about how much a physical thearipists makes, annually or monthly.
Thank you

Answer
Hi Sam,

It really varies a lot in different countries, and different parts of the country.  I live in the SouthEast, and PTs will usually start at around 35,000 a year to 40,000 a year.   A therapist with many years experience could make about 60-80,000 a year.

I hope this helps!

Expertise

I am PTA. I can answer questions for people interested in becoming a Physical Therapist Assistant. I`m happy to discuss questions about the education required, licensure, different areas of the field, and duties that the PTA performs. I can also help with questions about the differences between PTs and PTAs roles and education. In a more general way, I can answer questions about the differences between the PT field in comparison with the Athletic Trainer field and the Occupational Therapy field.

Experience

I have been a PTA for 6 years, and was a tech for 4 years before that. I work in an out-patient orthopedic setting, but am familiar with other settings in general.

Organizations
American Physical Therapy Association.
Orthopedic Section of APTA.
