Physical Therapist in France: read the median against a +15% outlook

The France national median for a physical therapist is 116 000 € a year. Among 2 metros with observed data, pay runs from about 57 400 € in Lyon to 86 800 € in Paris (1.5×).

Physical therapists help patients recover movement and manage pain after injury or illness. Common screening skills include Rehabilitation, Anatomy, Assessment, and Empathy.

A modeled national band runs about 86 800 €–151 700 € around that midpoint. Licensing and immigration rules are independent of this cash sort. Employment outlook for the occupation is sketched at +15% over a decade — a national demand guess, not a hiring guarantee in every French city.

Paris sits -25% vs the national median; Lyon sits -51%. Relocating inside France for this title can move cash more than a small raise at the same desk. Open a city page for take-home and rent context — this national page is the map, not the offer.

France shows about 0.9% CPI in 2025. A physical therapist raise that trails inflation is a real-pay cut even if it still beats last year’s peers. This occupation is also covered in 39 other countries — useful for remote or relocation shortlists, after FX and local tax. Nearby healthcare titles on this site include Registered Nurse, Nurse Practitioner, Physician, and Pharmacist.
