Physical & Occupational Therapy in Hot Springs, SD

There are 10 licensed therapists registered in Hot Springs. The two most common licence types are physical therapist (8) and occupational therapist (2).

With a population of 3,670, that works out to 27.2 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 an encouraging upper bound rather than a promise.

Hot Springs is the 12th largest concentration in South Dakota by number of providers, accounting for 1.4% 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.

10 is a small enough number that availability, not choice, will decide how quickly you are seen. Licences are issued at state level, so the practical pool is usually wider than this page shows: 1,631 licensed therapists are registered across South Dakota, and many practices now offer appointments by video. The towns listed further down are the next places to look.

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.
