In Tennessee, the Physical Therapy weighted monthly median benchmark on WeekdayDoc is ~$85k (299 salary observations; 1,476 listings), vs ~$94k nationally (15,018 salary observations; 57,383 listings). Monthly aggregates cover 2026-01-01 through 2026-10-01; these are not the modal's selected comparable-job medians.
