Chicago Physical Therapy Jobs Overview

If you’re looking for a career on the move, physical therapy jobs might be the perfect fit. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) estimates that the number of jobs in physical therapy will increase by an astounding 21% over the next 10 years.

Physical therapists help patients of any age improve movement and manage pain after illness or injury. As a physical therapist, you are an exercise and functional movement expert. You may work with a wide variety of patients. During a typical workday, you may help someone regain leg function after a break and then make a plan for someone with a chronic illness like cerebral palsy to manage their movement around their home. Pain management is also an essential skill for physical therapists, who teach patients how to move joints, muscles, and soft tissue to decrease pain.

Some physical therapists practice in specialized areas such as performing arts, obesity management, and even veterinary services.

About Working in Chicago, Illinois

If you're going to Chicago to experience "da Bears," deep-dish pizza, and windy streets, native Chicagoans say "fogetta 'bout it!" While these have made Chicago famous, you'll find many locals eating thin-crust, tavern-style pie. Plus, the city isn't on any list of the windiest cities in the U.S.—a local newspaper named it "The Windy City" after the Chicago elite's propensity toward boastfulness and self-promotion. And while the Chicago jobs list (hit jobs, that is) includes notorious mobsters from Chicago like Al Capone, John Dillinger, and Baby Face Nelson, linguists are noticing that the "Chicago accent" is disappearing.

However, there's a reason Condé Nast Traveler has named Chicago the "best big city in the U.S." Chicago is home to top universities, including Northwestern University, Wheaton College, and Valparaiso. And if you're looking for Chicago jobs, you can relocate to any one of the city's unique neighborhoods, such as North Center with its cozy Irish pubs and breweries or Uptown, the lively entertainment district. For those who want to live further out from the city, you can also find jobs in popular suburbs including Cicero, Oak Park, and Evanston.
