‍Although numbers will vary widely depending on factors such as experience and location, three of the top-paying physical therapy specialties include sports medicine ($80,000 - $120,000), acute care ($90,000 - $110,000), and traveling PT ($100,000 - $150,000).

Thanks to Direct Access legislation, physical therapy patients can get evaluations and treatments directly from a licensed physical therapist (PT) without obtaining a doctor's prescription or referral. It means anyone can visit a physical therapist whenever they want.
