Physical & Occupational Therapy in Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico has 1,164 licensed therapists with a registered practice address, across 3 licence types.

Puerto Rico ranks 41st of 56 states and territories by the number of registered providers in this field.

The largest single group is physical therapist, at 582 providers or 50% of the total. Licence titles vary between states for what is often similar training and scope, so the mix here partly reflects how Puerto Rico licenses its providers.

Just over half of the licensed therapists here — 52% — 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.

The three largest concentrations are San Juan (2,006), Ponce (617), Caguas (551).

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.
