About the Find a PT Database and Search Results
The clinicians in this database are licensed physical therapists and American Physical Therapy Association members. They are qualified and licensed to treat various symptoms and conditions based on higher/doctoral-level education and passing a national examination.
This tool can help match you with physical therapists based on your location and search criteria; however, exact matches may not always be possible. If no exact match is found, the system will suggest nearby therapists who may fit your needs, followed by all physical therapists in your selected search radius (up to 20 per page).
Tips for Finding the Right Provider for You
All physical therapists are movement experts trained to help people across a broad spectrum of conditions and physical needs. They can work with people of all ages and abilities, from infants to older adults. Some physical therapists focus their practice on a specific treatment area or patient group and develop advanced experience and expertise. Learn about physical therapy specialties.
These tips can improve your search results when looking for specific expertise or experience:
- Simplify your search terms (keywords are more effective than long phrases).
- Expand your search radius (distance) if specific expertise is not found in your local area.
- Use the filters to fine-tune your results to show only board-certified specialists or providers who offer telehealth or home visits.
- If no providers in your area match your search criteria, try contacting a nearby clinic directly to check if they — or a colleague — have experience treating your condition. Physical therapists have a wide range of expertise, but not all specialties or focus areas may be listed in their profiles.
