In 2014, the Bureau of Labor Statistics predicted that 71,800 new Physical Therapy (PT) jobs would be created by 2024.
That’s an increase of 34 percent, which is much faster than the average profession. Even in the Omaha & Papillion metro areas it appears there is a physical therapy clinic on every corner. So, why the significant increase in physical therapy clinics?
There are a number of reasons for this increase. More and more Americans are suffering from chronic diseases such as:
- diabetes,
- coronary disease,
- asthma,
- bronchitis,
- and arthritis.
At the same time, more people are living longer, which means they need health care to help them manage age-related diseases and musculoskeletal problems. Gina V Physical Therapy is committed to helping our patients get back to doing the things they love to do.
If you have any questions about physical therapy, insurance, etc., we encourage you to call our offices directly for more information.
