Physical & Occupational Therapy in Ketchikan, AK

Ketchikan has 19 licensed therapists with a registered practice address, across 2 licence types.

That is roughly 5 providers per square mile of land area.

For a rural service town this is the pattern you want to see. It also means the list below is probably the list for a wide area rather than for Ketchikan alone, so the practical question is less whether there is anyone here than how far you are willing to drive and whether the practice you want takes appointments by video.

Of the 116 places in Alaska with at least one registered provider, Ketchikan ranks 8th by count.

Just over half of the licensed therapists here — 71% — hold the same licence, physical therapist. Where one type dominates like this, the practical question is less which letters someone has than whether they work with what you are bringing to them.

19 is a small enough number that availability, not choice, will decide how quickly you are seen. Licences are issued at state level, so the practical pool is usually wider than this page shows: 1,344 licensed therapists are registered across Alaska, and many practices now offer appointments by video. The towns listed further down are the next places to look.

One caveat on reading these numbers: the registry records where a provider registered an address, not where they see clients day to day, and addresses are not always kept current. It also says nothing about whether someone is taking new clients.
