Physical & Occupational Therapy in Springfield, MA

220 licensed therapists are registered in Springfield — about 14.2 for every 10,000 residents.

Among the 53 places in Massachusetts big enough for the comparison to hold — at least a thousand residents, and a resident population that matches who is registered there — Springfield ranks 5th by providers per resident.

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

Of the 229 places in Massachusetts with at least one registered provider, Springfield ranks 3rd by count.

Just over half of the licensed therapists here — 51% — 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 17 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.
