Physical & Occupational Therapy in Lakewood, CO

There are 331 licensed therapists registered in Lakewood. The two most common licence types are physical therapist (185) and occupational therapist (114).

With a population of 156,927, that works out to 21.1 providers per 10,000 residents. Density is a rough measure: providers register a practice address, which may be a clinic serving a much wider area than the city itself.

That puts Lakewood close to the middle for Colorado. Expect to contact several providers rather than one, and to find that availability rather than choice is the binding constraint.

Of the 271 places in Colorado with at least one registered provider, Lakewood ranks 6th by count.

Just over half of the licensed therapists here — 62% — 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.

Registered addresses are spread across 9 ZIP codes. The map above sizes each ZIP by how many providers are registered there — clustering usually follows medical districts and commercial corridors rather than population.

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.
