In this episode of What's Best For The Patient Is Best For Business, Jerry is joined by executive coach Steve Allred for a thought-provoking discussion on why understanding your healthcare practice's current operations is the key to navigating—and thriving in—a rapidly changing industry.Six months after their last conversation, Jerry and Steve revisit the critical need for practice owners to optimize their businesses before adding new revenue streams, technology, or expansion strategies. From financial literacy to efficient systems and leadership delegation, they break down the foundational elements that allow clinic owners to adapt to industry shifts—whether it's value-based care, direct-to-employer models, or AI integration.Key Takeaways:• Master Your Metrics: If you don't understand your financials, workflows, and key performance indicators, you're unprepared for change—and risk being left behind.• Systems Over Hustle: You can't scale or innovate if you're bogged down by day-to-day operations. Build systems that free up your time to lead and strategize.• Adapt or Get Replaced: Complaining about insurers, regulations, or competitors won't move the needle. The future belongs to those who leverage technology, data, and new care models proactively.• Opportunity in Disruption: From hybrid care to primary care PT, those who embrace change (instead of resisting it) will find untapped revenue and impact.Steve also shares a free financial tool to help practice owners model the true cost and ROI of hiring a new clinician—because decisions should be driven by data, not fear.Whether you're a solo practitioner or a multi-clinic owner, this episode is a wake-up call: Get your house in order now, or risk being outpaced by those who do.Check out Steve's customizable financial model at this link: https://subscribepage.io/9jHCI8Website: practicefreedomu.comEmail: steve@practicefreedomu.com If you'd like to learn more about Strata EMR & RCM and achieving a 99.99% reimbursement rate for your PT, OT, or SLP Clinic head over to stratapt.com and book a demo with their team!

Episode Overview Dr. Sarah Crawford, DPT, shares how she's revolutionizing healthcare delivery through Anchor Wellness Center - an innovative collaborative model that brings independent practitioners together under one roof. With 98% patient retention and 30% year-over-year growth for member practices, Sarah's approach proves that excellent care and profitable business aren't mutually exclusive. Key Highlights The Healthcare Crisis: Only 18% of licensed physical therapists actually work in clinics due to system burnout and barriers to quality care The Collaborative Advantage: Shared overhead, unified systems, and peer accountability create better outcomes for both providers and patients Breaking the Poverty Mindset: Healthcare providers must value their expertise and charge accordingly - "if you don't make money, you have an incredibly expensive hobby" The Entrepreneurship Reality: Building a practice will "crack you wide open" - embrace the vulnerability as essential growth Systems vs. Solo Practice: Creating scalable businesses that can operate without the founder, not just "expensive lifestyle businesses" Memorable Quotes "The biggest barrier to healthcare is continuity of care - patients get bounced from provider to provider with too much time and space between them." "Political correctness doesn't work in healthcare because it doesn't help people get better. If someone's had ineffective care, let them know it." "Entrepreneurship cracks you wide open - all your vulnerabilities and insecurities are right at the forefront. You can surround yourself with people who help you grow, or you can resist it." "You can't help anybody authentically if you haven't done your own work first." "Love the hell out of people, including yourself. Sit into your own power and recognize that your zone of genius is a gift to the world." Closing Thoughts Sarah's model represents the future of healthcare - provider-centered care that actually centers the patient. By removing administrative burdens and creating true collaboration between practitioners, she's proving that the answer to our healthcare crisis isn't more regulations or bigger systems - it's empowering excellent providers to do what they do best. Her message is clear: bet on yourself, value your expertise, and don't apologize for building something profitable that genuinely serves people. Bio: Dr. Sarah Crawford, DPT, COMT, earned her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from the University of Miami in 2011. With over 14 years of experience in physical therapy and healthcare administration, she has served as office manager, clinical director, and partner for several independent practices before founding Anchor Wellness Center and Wave Physical Therapy and Pilates in 2019. Dr. Crawford specializes in orthopedic manual therapy, chronic pain management, and Pilates-based rehabilitation. She was the first physical therapist certified in Trigger Point Dry Needling in Ohio and brings extensive training in neurological rehabilitation. Her comprehensive approach integrates neuromuscular, fascial, and musculoskeletal systems to optimize patient outcomes. Driven by the recognition that traditional healthcare is reactive and fragmented, Dr. Crawford created the Anchor Wellness Center to support local healthcare entrepreneurs in a collaborative environment that ultimately improves patient care through true integration of services.

As Part 1 of his Front Desk Sales Series, Jerry shares invaluable insights from his 15 years of experience, emphasizing how early interactions shape a patient's entire journey.Key Takeaways:• The Golden Moment: When a potential patient reaches out, the first 30 seconds of the call set the tone for trust, expectations, and long-term retention.• Power of Acknowledgement: Simply repeating back what the caller says (e.g., "Hi Jerry, I'm sorry to hear about your back pain—we help a lot of people with that!") signals that your practice is different and builds immediate rapport.• Control the Conversation: Proper acknowledgement prevents callers from derailing the discussion and guides them toward scheduling—without feeling rushed or ignored.• Prevent Problems Early: Many cancellations and no-shows can be avoided by mastering this initial step, as it aligns patient expectations from the start.Jerry breaks down real-world examples, revealing common pitfalls and actionable scripts to transform your front desk's phone game.

At Third Street Barbell, we're lucky enough to have three physical therapists as members. Jim's been working with Patrick Bell on a shoulder injury and has been very impressed with his knowledge and how he structures and communicates his rehab exercise selections. Since Patrick's clients are mainly online, we thought it would be good to chat with him about what makes a good physical therapy (and coaching) relationship. He works with Move Your Bones PT, which combines rehabilitation and performance coaching, so he's uniquely suited to address the issues of working athletes, particularly in a virtual setting.

In this episode, I sit down with pelvic floor physical therapist Mindy English to discuss what to look for when seeking a pelvic floor PT. This is a common question we receive, and we wanted to provide a nuanced conversation around it, especially for female athletes who may not realize how interconnected pelvic health is with overall movement, training, and long-term well-being. We also discuss what to expect in a pelvic floor PT appointment, why it's critical for practitioners to take a full-body approach, and how pelvic floor therapy can help athletes of all ages—whether they're dealing with postpartum recovery, leakage during workouts, or long-term pelvic health symptoms.
