Physical & Occupational Therapy in Des Moines, WA

There are 38 licensed therapists registered in Des Moines. The two most common licence types are physical therapist (24) and occupational therapist (12).

With a population of 33,032, that works out to 11.5 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.

That puts Des Moines close to the middle for Washington. Expect to contact several providers rather than one, and to find that availability rather than choice is the binding constraint.

Of the 327 places in Washington with at least one registered provider, Des Moines ranks 70th by count.

Just over half of the licensed therapists here — 67% — 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.
