Physical & Occupational Therapy in Ottumwa, IA

There are 16 licensed therapists registered in Ottumwa. The two most common licence types are physical therapist (11) and occupational therapist (4).

Among the 227 places in Iowa big enough for the comparison to hold — at least a thousand residents, and a resident population that matches who is registered there — Ottumwa ranks 74th by providers per resident.

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

Of the 360 places in Iowa with at least one registered provider, Ottumwa ranks 28th by count.

The largest single group is physical therapist, at 11 providers or 69% of the total. Licence titles vary between states for what is often similar training and scope, so the mix here partly reflects how Iowa licenses its providers.

Just over half of the licensed therapists here — 69% — 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.

16 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: 4,029 licensed therapists are registered across Iowa, 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.
