The evolving landscape of physical therapy as clinicians consider new business models beyond traditional patient visits. This conversation covers why PTs are turning to personal branding and content creation to supplement and even replace clinic income. We explore building patient subscription models, creating a lasting personal brand, and even developing boxed solutions that provide ongoing value to patients. Special attention is given to the costs and benefits of concierge care models, how physical therapists can leverage YouTube and social media as secondary revenue streams, and practical steps to start a subscription-based offer in your practice.
