As a physical therapist, how will you expand your scope of services in order to help more people learn how to stay fit even if they're not able to go outside very often due to weather conditions or other factors like limited mobility? What if acquiring a business will allow you to expand your physical therapy service without having to wait for appointments or share space with other therapists?

This week's The Dave Kittle Show episode, Dave Kittle will be joined by Dr. Brett Scott. Dr. Brett Scott founded Barbell Therapy & Performance in 2017. After working as a strength coach and personal trainer for seven years throughout his college career, Dr. Scott realized something was missing in the traditional physical therapy model during his clinical rotations. While working in the traditional physical therapy setting, he realized he didn’t have the time and resources to get his patients the best outcomes because profit and proficiency from a business standpoint surpasses patient outcomes.

We will touch on such topics as:

• You can help your patients by coaching them in fitness activities they can do at home on their own time. This will allow them to maintain their health independently while also increasing their independence in other areas of life.
• The gap on how physical therapists are becoming more and more like personal trainers, but with a license to use specific modalities.
• Physical therapists who work for an insurance company will have access to more resources than those working in private practice; however, they may have less freedom when it comes to setting prices or scheduling appointments.
• Gym-based physical therapists may offer more options for treatment because they have access to equipment that is not available in most private practices.
• If you want to acquire a business, it's important to have the same training model and the same training beliefs with the owner so you can fully scale the business on your own.
• Finding a good steward to continue the legacy and the reputation that the founder, that the original owner built is a huge consideration for, for someone that's gonna sell something.
