Physical & Occupational Therapy in Bellingham, WA

Bellingham has 231 licensed therapists with a registered practice address, across 2 licence types.

That is roughly 8.2 providers per square mile of land area, or 24 per 10,000 residents.

A figure well above the median usually means more choice and shorter waits than most of Washington — 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 327 places in Washington with at least one registered provider, Bellingham ranks 7th by count.

Just over half of the licensed therapists here — 73% — 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.
