What are some of the highest-earning physical therapy specialties?

It’s true, some physical therapy specialties may bring your clinic more money than others. Higher profit margins can sometimes come from focusing on providing particular services. Check out just a few of the highest-earning PT sectors here. These are likely to be the future of the PT industry:

  • Geriatrics — Geriatrics is the field that deals with older adults. Physical therapy can present significant benefits to the aging population, which is on a steady incline. That means there’s money to be had in geriatric services. 
     
  • Pediatrics — Pediatrics is the field that deals with children and adolescents. A specialty in pediatric physical therapy can make a clinic appear more attractive to the families of prospective patients who might be searching for services for children.
     
  • Sports medicine — Sports medicine is another high-earning physical therapy specialty. It attracts a wide range of athletes and patients of varying ages. Sports medicine can also include a range of services, such as rehabilitation, conditioning or injury prevention. It’s one way to attract more patients to your clinic.
