Their pay can vary depending on experience, education, work setting, and location. In the United States, the average salary for a physical therapist is around $101,000 per year. Some entry-level physical therapists may earn less when starting out, while experienced therapists in specialized fields can earn much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In California, physical therapists usually earn higher salaries than in many other states because of the high demand for healthcare workers and the higher cost of living. Recent salary reports show that physical therapists in California earn an average of about $114,000 to $117,000 per year, which is about $55 to $56 per hour. Entry-level therapists may earn around $90,000 to $100,000 per year, while experienced physical therapists can make over $130,000 annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/infotec03.ghsvids.org\/angelinne09\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/sw291123.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-110\" srcset=\"https:\/\/infotec03.ghsvids.org\/angelinne09\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/sw291123.png 800w, https:\/\/infotec03.ghsvids.org\/angelinne09\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/sw291123-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/infotec03.ghsvids.org\/angelinne09\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/sw291123-768x576.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The amount a physical therapist earns can also depend on where they work. For example, therapists working in hospitals, sports medicine clinics, or home healthcare may earn different salaries. Physical therapists in large cities such as Los Angeles or San Francisco often make more money because of the higher living expenses in those areas. According to salary data, some physical therapists in Los Angeles earn over $115,000 per year on average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many physical therapists believe the career offers stable income and strong job opportunities, although some professionals discuss concerns about student debt and workload. Online discussions from physical therapy communities show that salaries can range widely depending on experience and work setting. For example, some California therapists report salaries near $130,000 in home health positions, while new graduates may begin closer to $80,000 to $100,000 per year. Overall, physical therapy is considered a rewarding career with competitive pay and opportunities for salary growth over time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Physical therapists earn a good salary because they are highly trained healthcare professionals who help patients recover from injuries, surgeries, and medical conditions.
