Physical & Occupational Therapy in Brookings, SD

There are 39 licensed therapists registered in Brookings. The two most common licence types are physical therapist (30) and occupational therapist (8).

With a population of 25,355, that works out to 15.4 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.

Brookings is the 8th largest concentration in South Dakota by number of providers, accounting for 2.6% 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 South Dakota licenses its providers than about what is available to you.

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.
