A figure well above the median usually means more choice and shorter waits than most of Florida — though supply is not the same as availability. Plenty of providers in a well-served area are full, out of network, or private-pay only.

Of the 551 places in Florida with at least one registered provider, Fort Walton Beach ranks 66th by count.

By licence type the breakdown is physical therapist (66), occupational therapist (50), pediatric occupational therapist (10), pediatric physical therapist (7), with 0 further types making up the remainder.

Just over half of the licensed therapists here — 50% — 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.

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.
