Physical Therapist Pay

The median annual Physical Therapist salary is $83,620, as of June 29, 2018, with a range usually between $77,030 and $90,734, however this can vary widely depending on a variety of factors.

Traditional DPT programs can range from 30-36 months. So in addition to the 4 years you spend completing an undergraduate degree, you'll also spend about 3 years at a DPT program, totaling 7 years of college education to 

become a physical therapist. Yes, the process to become a physical therapist is long, but worth it.

Physical Therapists oversee rehabilitation from injuries to restore function of arms and legs. Physical therapists are key to recovery for some patients who are recuperating from injuries, illnesses, and surgery. They work with patients to help them regain movement and manage pain, either in a hospital, a clinical setting or with at-home visits.
