Physical & Occupational Therapy in Duluth, MN

There are 405 licensed therapists registered in Duluth. The two most common licence types are physical therapist (247) and occupational therapist (139).

With a population of 88,330, that works out to 45.9 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.

A figure well above the median usually means more choice and shorter waits than most of Minnesota — 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 463 places in Minnesota with at least one registered provider, Duluth ranks 6th by count.

Just over half of the licensed therapists here — 64% — 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 10 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.
