Most healthcare marketing does not fail because marketing is useless. It fails because clinics make it hard to trust them, hard to book, and hard to talk about them.In this episode, Jimmy McKay and Andrea Cheney unpack what PT clinic owners and healthcare marketers keep getting wrong. They break down why patients now behave more like consumers, what they actually look at before booking, and why reviews, websites, and front desk processes matter more than another generic ad campaign.The big takeaway for busy PTs and clinic owners: marketing works better when operations work better. If your clinic creates a five-star experience, makes reviews easy, reduces friction, and shows up online with purpose, your marketing starts pulling its weight.What You'll LearnWhy healthcare still confuses marketing with advertisingWhat patients are actually checking before they choose a clinicWhy reviews are part marketing and part operationsHow to make review requests easier and more consistentWhat a PT clinic website must do to convert trust into actionWhy social media should help patients understand themselves, not just hear about your clinicHow public insurance disputes damage trust for everyone involvedWhat PT owners can steal from Wendy's when they need attentionKey Takeaways for Clinic OwnersBetter marketing starts with better patient experienceYour front desk is part of your marketing systemA simple booking path matters more than fancy wordingGeneric “we're evidence-based” messaging is not persuasiveAttention is earned when content is about the patient, not the clinicOperational friction creates bad stories that no ad can fixGuestAndrea Cheney — fractional marketing leader and consultant in healthcare marketingResources & Tools MentionedGoogle ReviewsGoogle Business ProfileQR code review promptsText and email follow-up for review collectionWebsite usability checksFacebook groupsTikTokLinkedInShort-form videoSponsors PT Pintcast's official 2026 sponsors include SaRA Health, EMPOWER EMR, and U.S.

Most physical therapists assume healthcare policy is decided somewhere far away.But Utah PTs just proved something different.In this episode, Howard Quackenbush explains how competing physical therapy clinics united to pass legislation that recognizes PTs as primary care providers for co-pay purposes—reducing financial barriers and improving patient access.Instead of waiting for national policy changes, this group of clinicians and clinic owners worked state-level relationships, coordinated fundraising, and built grassroots support that ultimately passed the bill.For private practice owners and PT leaders, the lesson is clear: if you want change in reimbursement, access, or regulation, you may have to organize and lead it.Topics discussed: • Why high PT co-pays discourage patients from completing care • How competing clinics collaborated instead of competing • The legislative strategy that helped Utah PTs win • Why grassroots advocacy matters for clinic owners • The role of relationships in healthcare policy • A practical blueprint other states can followHoward also shares the leadership philosophy that guided the effort—and why relationships ultimately determine whether policy moves forward.SponsorsSaRA HealthEMPOWER EMRU.S. Physical TherapyLearn more: https://ptpintcast.com

On APTA Michigan's Waves podcast, host Andy Wicks interviews Dr. Bill McGehee, current Speaker of APTA's House of Delegates (term ending Dec. 31, 2026), about his background as a physical therapist and Tufts University DPT clinical professor, and his path from chapter service in Illinois to APTA House of Delegates Speaker of the House (elected 2020). McGehee explains the House as the membership's representative body of 450+ delegates from 51 chapters and 18 sections that sets association policy and positions, adopts bylaws and the profession's vision, and elects APTA leaders, while the Board of Directors holds fiduciary responsibility for the $50M organization and must balance House priorities with strategy, risk, and timing. He discusses the speaker's leadership/servant role, the value of mission and vision as a “North Star,” and how Roberts Rules protect minority voices and keep proceedings productive. McGehee's “soapbox” is that society knows what PTs do; key barriers are access and other constraints, and PTs should lead and practice at the topof their scope. If you are a PT or PTA in Michigan, you can earn PDR creditfor license renewal just by listening to this episode!

PTs are expected to be the movement experts—yet most movement assessment is still subjective: “knee valgus noted,” “pelvic drop,” “looks better.” Dan Seidler (Business Development Lead, DorsaVi USA) and Maka Lange unpack what changes when clinics can quantify biomechanics with video AI and wearable sensors.They cover how objective data improves patient education and buy-in, strengthens documentation, and makes return-to-play/return-to-work decisions more defensible—especially as AI, wearables, and non-PT competitors raise the bar for “measured” care.What you'll learnWhy “eyeballing” biomechanics breaks down across cliniciansHow objective data can improve patient buy-in and clarityThe difference between quick video AI assessments vs IMU sensor “gold standard” testingHow standardized movement reports can help documentation and communicationUse cases: mass athlete screenings, surgeon referrals, workplace safety, workers' comp/FCEs, and early pelvic health biofeedback workGuest + LinksDorsaVi: http://www.dorsavi.com/

A comment calling hospital PTs “discharge monkeys” kicks off a real conversation about burnout, autonomy, and what the system incentivizes. Rebekah Griffith and Jimmy McKay unpack why acute care PTs feel boxed into discharge throughput, how that attitude spreads through teams (presenteeism), and what leaders can do to get great clinicians back to practicing with purpose.What You'll LearnWhy “we're all just PTs” can still ignore real specialization and skill differencesHow payer-centered constraints quietly strip autonomy in discharge planningWhy arguing online rarely fixes burnout (emotion first, logic second)Presenteeism: when someone shows up but becomes a net negativeA leader's playbook: how to actually listen, reset, and decide what's salvageableThe one controllable lever: what energy you bring into the patient room

In this week's episode of FOX Rehabilitation's Live Better Longer podcast, FOX Regional Director John Dominski, PT, DPT, OCS, COMT, joins the conversation to explore the future of healthcare and the evolving role of physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech-language pathologists. John shares why the profession must continue shifting from reactive care to proactive, preventative models—and how PTs can function as primary care providers of functional health. He paints a vision of a system that fully integrates PTAs, COTAs, and fitness specialists to support patients across the lifespan. The discussion unpacks the idea of “flipping the funnel,” emphasizing early intervention over downstream treatment. John also speaks directly to students and clinicians on preparing for this shift, changing long‑held mindsets, and advocating for the value of PT amid ongoing Medicare cuts.

Doc Danny shares a live clip from his CSM presentation on how cash-based PT has evolved over the last decade and what trends will shape the next decade. He breaks down why "great things start in little rooms," how insurance changes have made cash care more viable, and why recurring revenue, longevity, and AI will define the future. In This Episode, You'll Learn Why you don't need a big buildout to start a cash-based clinic What has changed in the market over the last 10 years The 3 paths clinicians choose when they hit burnout How "momentum" is the real unlock for growth Why longevity and recurring services are a blue-ocean opportunity How AI will reduce admin burden and make clinics more profitable Why private equity is increasingly interested in cash-based clinics Key Takeaway Cash and hybrid clinics have massive runway. The winners over the next decade will build recurring revenue, position around longevity, and adopt AI to reduce admin work so clinicians can stay focused on outcomes and relationships.

One of the problems with allopathic medicine is that it is based on toxic substances. And one of the big problems with naturopathic medicine currently is the reliance on allopathic medicine to define itself.Dr Rick Kirshner is a best selling author, filmmaker, speaker, educator, vitalist naturopathic physician, past president of Naturopathic Medicine Institute and current president of Naturopathic Medicine Academy.

Send a textMenopause care is changing — but not fast enough.In this episode of the Active Mom Podcast, I sit down with Ingrid Harm-Ernandes, PT — a physical therapist with more than 40 years of experience in women's health, known as “The Pelvic Detective” on YouTube and author of The Musculoskeletal Mystery: How to Solve Your Pelvic Floor Symptoms. Ingrid has spent decades pushing for earlier access to pelvic health care, better clinical reasoning, and more respect for the complexity of women's bodies across the lifespan.This conversation isn't about trendy soundbites. It's about what's actually shifting in menopause and perimenopause care — and what still needs to change.We talk honestly about why individualized pelvic floor treatment matters more than ever, how exercise plays a critical role in perimenopause and menopause, and why we need to stop oversimplifying women's health into one-size-fits-all solutions. Ingrid shares perspective from four decades in practice — what's improved, what hasn't, and what we can learn from previous generations of women who were told their symptoms were “just part of aging.”We also unpack the role of social media in pelvic health education — the good, the bad, and the nuance — and how emerging research in women's health is shaping more comprehensive, lifespan-based care.If you care about pelvic floor dysfunction, menopause symptoms, individualized rehab, strength training in midlife, or long-term musculoskeletal health for active women — this conversation is for you.We discuss:Advocacy for better women's health care and earlier access to pelvic PTThe evolution of menopause and perimenopause treatmentWhy individualized pelvic floor care is essentialExercise, strength, and musculoskeletal health in midlifeCoordinating the pelvic floor with the whole systemEmerging research shaping women's healthWhat we can learn from previous generationsSupporting women across the full lifespanMenopause isn't an endpoint.

Hey Team! Today, I'm talking with Erika Levine, a special education professional with a clinical background in Occupational Therapy. Erika has made it her mission to simplify the legal and procedural hurdles that keep parents from getting their kids the support they're legally entitled to, drawing from her deep well of lived experience as both a professional and a parent of neurodivergent children. In this episode, we get into the nitty-gritty of advocating for a child who isn't "failing" but certainly isn't thriving. We dive into the legal weight these documents carry, the difference between an IEP and a 504 plan and how we can walk into those meetings with six professionals without feeling like you're the one being sent to the principal's office. Erika also shares some personal history about her own mother's advocacy and why she created "My IEP Hero" to help parents navigate the system. Mentioned in this episode: https://myiephero.app/ If you'd life to follow along on the show notes page you can find that at HackingYourADHD.com/275 YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/y835cnrk Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HackingYourADHD This Episode's Top Tips Treat the IEP as a legal mandate and understand that it is a legally binding document that schools must adhere to strictly; it is not a set of globalized suggestions, but a tailored plan for a specific child. Remember that the IEP team should include more than just teachers; it includes specialists like OTs, PTs, speech-language pathologists, and psychologists who can address the child's needs. If a school denies services because the child is "fine" academically, parents can request an Individualized Educational Evaluation (IEE) from an outside psychologist, which the school may be required to fund. Remember we want to focus on our children thriving, not just passing by through school.

What if your private practice could be a platform for change—for your clients and yourself?Today's guest didn't just start a private practice; she built a mission-driven business that blends speech therapy with fierce advocacy. She traded burnout for autonomy and now uses her voice to empower families navigating the complex world of IEPs.I'm so excited to introduce you to Colleen Ashford, a speech-language pathologist and one of the dedicated clinicians inside our Grow Your Private Practice Program. Colleen is the owner and founder of Ashford Speech and Advocacy PC, a mobile and virtual private practice based in Vista, California where she provides evaluations, treatment, consultations, and advocacy at IEP meetings.For Colleen, starting her own practice was about more than flexibility and income—it was about authentic, values-driven work. She has created a unique model that allows her to serve early intervention clients and act as a special education advocate, ensuring families are supported at every step.In this episode, Colleen reveals how leaving the constraints of clinic and school jobs allowed her to design a practice that fits her life, serves her community deeply, and lets her show up as her full, authentic self.Colleen Ashford is a licensed speech-language pathologist and certified special education advocate. After graduating from the University of Illinois with her bachelor's and Illinois State University with her master's, she began her career in a public elementary school with a bilingual program, which fueled her focus on improving her Spanish to better serve her students and families. Love brought her to Southern California, where she worked in multidisciplinary clinics alongside OTs and PTs, learning invaluable lessons about sensory and motor development that inform her holistic approach today.Now in her full-time practice, Colleen's areas of focus include AAC, Autism, Childhood Apraxia of Speech, and parent coaching in early intervention. She is passionate about providing culturally responsive early intervention services to the Spanish-speaking population in her own neighborhood. Always an advocate at her core—and now in title—Colleen equips every parent she serves with knowledge of their educational rights and how to navigate the world of special education. Beyond her community, she brings honest conversations about the IEP process to listeners everywhere through her podcast, Unfiltered IEPs.In Today's Episode, We Discuss:Leaving a "good job" to answer the craving for flexibility and authentic impactThe moment she realized her school-based experience was a superpower for families in needBuilding a hybrid practice with multiple revenue streams, from early intervention to AAC coachingHow embracing systems gave her back her time and freedomColleen is a powerful example of how you can design a practice that aligns with your deepest values.

The worst pain is unexplained pain. In this episode of the Hands-On, Hands-Off Podcast, physical therapists Amy McDevitt and Paul Mintkin explore why pain without a clear diagnosis is often the most distressing—and how physical therapists can communicate pain more effectively when imaging, MRI findings, and pathoanatomy don't provide clear answers.This conversation dives deep into pain science, musculoskeletal pain, low back pain, and the limitations of medical imaging in explaining symptoms. We discuss how over-reliance on MRI results can increase fear, catastrophizing, and confusion for patients—and how language, context, and functional diagnosis can dramatically change outcomes.Learn how to reframe pain using the ICF model, why pain does not equal tissue damage, and how PTs can shift from chasing a pain generator to treating the whole person. The episode includes a real-time patient role-play, practical communication strategies, and insights on direct access physical therapy, lifestyle factors (sleep, stress, activity), and the future of PT education.This episode is essential listening for physical therapists, manual therapists, rehab professionals, and students looking to improve patient communication, reduce fear, and deliver truly person-centered care.

Many PTs expect APTA membership to deliver immediate, visible ROI — discounts, perks, and fast results. In this conversation, Rebekah Griffith explains why that mindset misses the real value of professional advocacy.This episode covers:Why advocacy work happens whether you're paying attention or notThe “sprinkles vs cake” analogy for APTA benefitsWhy some PTs feel disappointed — and how to realign expectationsHow to approach CSM as a relationship-building opportunityWhy passive attendance leads to zero returnThe mindset shift that separates frustrated attendees from successful onesKey takeaway: You don't get value from APTA or CSM by watching. You get it by participating.

What if leadership in physical therapy wasn't about titles — but about how you show up? In this episode, three powerhouse PTs share how they stepped up in their careers — not by chasing roles, but by owning their value, raising their hand, and realizing that leadership is a behavior, not a job description.

Catholic social doctrine did not suddenly appear in the nineteenth century. Its roots reach back to the very foundations of Scripture.In this episode, we explore the biblical vision of social life: a world shaped by justice, mercy, solidarity, and the command to love one another. From the law and the prophets to the teaching of Christ, the Bible reveals that social responsibility is not an optional extra to the Christian life. Rather, it flows directly from who God is and who we are called to become. These biblical foundations form the heart of the Church's social teaching today.This podcast relies 100% on the generosity of listeners.

Show Notes  As APTA's Combined Sections Meeting heads to Anaheim, this special episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at how acute care programming comes together — and how clinicians can prepare with purpose. Co-hosts Dr. Leo Arguelles and Dr. Nicole Neveau are joined by James Crick, PT, DPT, PhD, and Jean Woolford, PT, DPT, co-chairs of acute care programming for CSM, to discuss session planning, emerging themes, and practical tips for navigating the conference and making meaningful professional connections. Today's Guests: Enjeen Wolford, PTA enjeen@gmail.com James P. Crick, Jr., PT, DPT, PhD jamescrickdpt@gmail.com Co-Chairs, CSM Education Programming, APTA Acute Care Guest Quotes: 5:28 “ Our big goal is to cultivate and bring up the new speakers and the people that have never spoken in a conference before. That’s our big push…” 8:49 “ This is the place to network and to connect.  That is the most important and valuable thing that I would give anybody who’s new or newer to attending CSM.” 27:46 “ So comfortable shoes are definite must!” 27:50 “I’ll remember the first time I ever went to CSM I walked in and I couldn’t believe the masses of people that were crossing the street and walking around, and they were all PTs or PTAs, all of them. They just took over the city. The whole city was taken over and it’s a lot, but it’s so energetic. It’s so much fun and there’s so many great things you can get there.” Rapid Responses:  If you had to go to work at Disneyland as a Disney character for the day, which character would you pick? James: “ I’ll go with Aladdin.  I actually have one of my first jobs in acute care in Naples, Florida. Shout out Naples Community Hospital. They I had a nurse who said. Did you know that your hair looks like Aladdin? Me? A lot of always will be Aladdin from here on out.” Enjeen: Goofy You know you work in acute care when…  Enjeen: “When you have to go look for your nurse on the floor before you see a patient.”  James: “So it’s standing at the bedside first time in a long time and they get to embrace for, physically for the first time in a long time. The therapeutic hug.” Links: Acute Care CSM 2026 Programming: https://apta.confex.com/apta/csm2026/meetingapp.cgi/Subject/220 APTA CSM Event App: https://csm.apta.org/programming/csm-events-app APTA CSM Proposal and Abstract Submissions: https://csm.apta.org/programming/csm-submissions

In this episode, we break down one of the biggest mistakes PTs make when opening a cash-based practice: not tracking the right metrics. We talk about why being “busy” doesn't automatically mean you're profitable, and how flying blind leads to overworking and under-earning. You'll learn the four numbers every PT owner should be tracking from day one—phone consult conversion rate, new client evaluations, retention, and lifetime value per client.

Episode Summary In this episode, Doc Danny shares a conversation between Rainmaker coach Jaxie Meth and Mastermind member Holly Navarro. Holly walks through how she built a cash-based practice in a narrow niche (dance medicine), found her first treatment space, grew through community workshops, and scaled into hiring and a standalone clinic location. Try Claire (AI Scribe for PTs) Want to save your clinicians hours every week and increase capacity without burning them out? Start a free 7-day trial of Claire . What You'll Learn How Holly built a real practice around a "small" niche and why narrow can scale What it looked like to start while life was chaotic and still keep momentum How she landed her first space through a simple conversation and community connection Why workshops and "captured audience" events worked to drive early patient volume How to build workshop follow-up so parents actually see the offer (waivers + email drip) When it makes sense to move from a borrowed space into your own standalone location What changed when she stopped thinking small and started building for a bigger life goal Hiring lessons, including why she hired a marketer first and then brought on two PTs Key Highlights from Holly's Story Starting point: 10 years in a small private practice, built a dancer following, ran a side hustle for years, and reached a point of misalignment with leadership and direction. First space: A patient offered a gym space, which gave her a "good enough" setup to build traction without big overhead. Workshops as growth engine: Injury prevention workshops for studios, then more specific body-part workshops (ankle, turnout, etc). She charges studios for dance workshops and lets them decide whether to charge dancers. Parent follow-up system: Uses waivers to capture parent contact info, then an email drip sequence with a clear offer and reminders. Standalone clinic: Moved into a dedicated space once demand grew and the original setup capped expansion. Key lesson: don't think too small, you may outgrow a space faster than you expect. Hiring: Hired a marketer to help amplify hiring and awareness, then hired two PTs (including someone she trusted from a prior clinic). Programs: Rainmaker built the confidence and structure to start. Mastermind brought systems, hiring, and repeatable scale. Workshop Pricing Notes (From the Conversation) Dance workshops: typically charged to the studio (example shared: $400 for 90 minutes) General workshops (for building a new clinician's schedule): may be free or low-cost to increase attendance and buy-in For youth: capture parent email via waiver and follow up automatically, because flyers rarely make it home Free Resource Want a clear plan to go from part-time to full-time in your cash practice?
