Fysioterapeuttin palkka

Physiotherapists complete a 3.5-year polytechnic degree; the title is protected and registered by Valvira. The employer landscape is broad: public hospitals and health centers, private clinics, occupational health, and sports clubs.

Public sector pay under KVTES runs €3,000–3,600/month. Private employers — Mehiläinen, Synlab, and independent clinics — pay similarly or slightly more, particularly in occupational health. Specializations in manual therapy, neurological rehabilitation, or sports physiotherapy improve both pay and employability. A significant share of physiotherapists work as self-employed, where income can rise considerably. The field sees steady demand driven by an aging population and growing emphasis on occupational health.
