Physical & Occupational Therapy in Bay St. Louis, MS

4 licensed therapists are registered in Bay St. Louis — about 3.8 for every 10,000 residents.

With a population of 10,634, that works out to 3.8 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.

Density is the closest public proxy for how hard it will be to get an appointment, but it is only a proxy. It counts everyone with a registered address here, including people who have retired, moved or stopped taking new clients — nothing forces those records to be updated. Read it as a cautionary upper bound rather than a promise.

Bay St. Louis is the 62nd largest concentration in Mississippi by number of providers, accounting for 0.2% of the state total.

The mix here is unusually concentrated: physical therapist outnumber the next largest group by more than three to one. Licence titles vary between states for what is often similar training, so a lopsided mix usually says more about how Mississippi licenses its providers than about what is available to you.

With only 4 providers registered locally, most people here will be looking beyond the town. Licences are issued at state level, so a provider anywhere in Mississippi can generally see you by video — which makes the statewide figure the more useful one: 2,807 licensed therapists are registered across Mississippi. Asking specifically whether a practice takes remote appointments is usually the fastest way to widen the search.

These counts come from the federal NPI registry. A provider appears here if they hold an active NPI with a practice address in this area — it does not mean they are currently accepting new clients, and the registry does not record insurance, fees or availability.
