Physical & Occupational Therapy in Austin, TX

There are 1,726 licensed therapists registered in Austin. The two most common licence types are physical therapist (974) and occupational therapist (447).

Among the 659 places in Texas big enough for the comparison to hold — at least a thousand residents, and a resident population that matches who is registered there — Austin ranks 23rd by providers per resident.

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.

Austin is the 2nd largest concentration in Texas by number of providers, accounting for 8.9% of the state total.

No single licence type dominates here — physical therapist and occupational therapist are within reach of each other. For most common reasons to seek therapy, the distinction between those licences matters less than availability and cost.

Registered addresses are spread across 43 ZIP codes. The map above sizes each ZIP by how many providers are registered there — clustering usually follows medical districts and commercial corridors rather than population.

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.
