Physical Therapist roles we recruit are advertised at roughly $80k – $112k: $80k at entry, $95k mid-career and $112k at senior or supervisory level. Setting, caseload size and payer mix move the figure more than years of experience do. Ranges reflect what we typically see advertised on roles we recruit for in the US.
