While many physical therapists are found in hospitals, a good number practice in other settings, including:

Rehabilitation hospitals – In this setting, physical therapy treatment is provided to patients who are admitted to a rehabilitation unit or facility. Intense therapy is typically offered to help the individual's ability to take care of themselves and can take more than 3 hours a day.

Acute care – Physical therapy for critical care patients is typically for individuals admitted for short-term patient care for reasons such as surgery, recovery from trauma, accident or illness. The goal of such a setting is to ensure the patient is medically stable to discharge.

Outpatient – This is a typical setting where individuals seek physical therapy to find treatment for musculoskeletal and neuromuscular impairments and injuries.

Wellness/Sports Fitness – Physical therapy for wellness purposes is provided with an emphasis on preventing injury and illness while advancing a healthy lifestyle. The settings for this type of care can include sports training facilities and fitness centers.

Home health – In this setting, physical therapy is performed at an individual's home or place of residence. While many of the patients tend to be senior citizens, there are individuals of all ages who require the therapy because of injury, development disabilities and other causes.
