Physical & Occupational Therapy in Hays, KS

There are 24 licensed therapists registered in Hays. The two most common licence types are physical therapist (18) and occupational therapist (5).

With a population of 21,258, that works out to 11.3 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 Hays close to the middle for Kansas. Expect to contact several providers rather than one, and to find that availability rather than choice is the binding constraint.

Of the 278 places in Kansas with at least one registered provider, Hays ranks 19th by count.

Just over half of the licensed therapists here — 78% — 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.

24 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: 4,230 licensed therapists are registered across Kansas, 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.
