Collecting and sharing workforce data is essential for enabling APTA members to make informed decisions about their careers and practices. By understanding demographic, workforce, and income trends, as well as challenges faced across practice settings, APTA provides the profession with actionable insights that support informed decision-making, fair payment advocacy, and stronger delivery of care.

APTA's 2025 Physical Therapy Profile Survey gathered insights from physical therapists and physical therapist assistants to explore key factors related to workforce dynamics. The findings are detailed in two reports: "A Physical Therapy Profile: Demographics of the Profession" and "A Physical Therapy Profile: Incomes for the Profession." Together, these reports offer the most current snapshot of the physical therapy workforce and highlight trends in income, diversity, and student enrollment.
