Stop Giving Physical Therapists Pay Cuts

With Physical Therapy reimbursement cuts around the corner, we need to think twice before simply cutting pay and increasing productivity.

Are you encouraging clinicians to be more efficient with their documentation practices (see below). Are you setting up your office for success by lowering the cancellation rate? Have you considered scheduling with 40 minute appointments to maximize time spent with patient while also realizing a 12.5% increase in billable units?

Before we jump to pay cuts and increasing productivity standards for PTs, let's make sure we are doing everything we can to maximize the opportunities we already have in the clinic to improve the bottom line.

I've only been a PT since 2015. I've already seen more businesses close and colleagues quit in the past 2 years than the number of years I've been in practice. Business acumen is sorely lacking in our industry. Thank you fo advocating for maintaining the bottom line by becoming more resourceful and efficient from the top down rather than trying to squeeze one more drop from the bottom up. Which has already been squeezed beyond reason.

Start an employee-owned PT clinic. Management receives bonuses & pay raises based on reducing YOUR pay & benefits ... and reducing the care we patients receive. Healthcare's increasingly bloated with mgmt & admins who never worked hands-on with patients. Please help us patients get the care we need: start your own clinic or join a union.

Not sure if you have a video on that, but according to the APTA workforce projections, there will be 25k extra DPTs in the market by 2030. The reason for that is the number of new or existing DPT programs growing exponentially.

I think PT aides should be fired. PT's pay cut significantly and PTA's pay raised to same as PT

Sorry for commenting on the wrong video . Actually I saw your previous video where you reviewed some Posture braces and I wanted to buy one. So I decided to comment on that video as well as this video too so that you see it easily 😅 . I have couple of questions . Is Comfybrace available in India ? I searched it on Indian version of Amazon but It doesn't show the product . My second question is what is the difference between Posture braces and those posture correctors which cover the whole back in addition to what posture brace covers .
