Physical & Occupational Therapy in Chatham, NJ

There are 61 licensed therapists registered in Chatham. The two most common licence types are physical therapist (31) and occupational therapist (18).

With a population of 10,027, that works out to 60.8 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.

A figure well above the median usually means more choice and shorter waits than most of New Jersey — 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 518 places in New Jersey with at least one registered provider, Chatham ranks 104th by count.

The largest single group is physical therapist, at 31 providers or 51% of the total. Licence titles vary between states for what is often similar training and scope, so the mix here partly reflects how New Jersey licenses its providers.

Just over half of the licensed therapists here — 53% — 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.

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.
