Physical & Occupational Therapy in Paris, TN

There are 34 licensed therapists registered in Paris. The two most common licence types are physical therapist (18) and occupational therapist (13).

That is roughly 2.6 providers per square mile of land area, or 32.5 per 10,000 residents.

A figure well above the median usually means more choice and shorter waits than most of Tennessee — 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 314 places in Tennessee with at least one registered provider, Paris ranks 43rd by count.

The largest single group is physical therapist, at 18 providers or 53% of the total. Licence titles vary between states for what is often similar training and scope, so the mix here partly reflects how Tennessee licenses its providers.

Just over half of the licensed therapists here — 56% — 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.
