The Healthy Movement Podcast

In this episode, I dive into the behind-the-scenes challenges and learnings from starting my physical therapy and total wellness practice back in 2013 in Westchester, Ohio. Journey with me through the maze of ever-declining insurance reimbursements, the balance of giving clients the one-on-one care they crave versus what insurance would cover, and the additional burdens faced as a PTA hiring and training PTs. With the changing landscape, I've come to realize that the traditional outpatient clinic model might not be the best route for PTAs.

In today's episode, we are taking a deep dive into the career advancement path for Physical Therapist Assistants (PTAs). We discuss the limitations we face in our professional growth due to lack of hands-on training, education, and skills, especially when dealing with musculoskeletal and more complex clients. Join us as we explore the pitfalls of the insurance-based care model that PTAs and physical therapists operate within, and its role in potentially keeping patients on a path towards surgical intervention.

We will scrutinize our treatment goals, the imbalance between PT goals and clients' personal aims, and discuss how our clients often need more than the current system offers. Listen in as we discuss the importance of a holistic approach, breaking free from traditional pain reduction metrics, and advocating for complete pain eradication.

In this episode, we will also share insights into a new pathway to assist clients who need more than our system can currently offer – the role of a Stretch Mobility Coach. We will shed light on how you can expand your professional capabilities, work outside the supervising physical therapist, and offer a broader range of services, all while remaining within the bounds of your license.

Whether you're a PTA feeling burnt out, a PT looking for ways to offer more to your clients, or just someone interested in the evolution of physical therapy, this episode is for you. Together, let's pave the path towards a more holistic, effective, and satisfying career in physical therapy. Tune in, and let's start the journey together.

In this episode, I share an inspiring story about Jordan, our lead Stretch Mobility Coach at the Beckett clinic. Jordan made a bold decision not to renew her PTA license and became our first fully trained Stretch Mobility Coach. Her journey from struggling as a PTA to becoming a successful Stretch Mobility Coach is truly impressive.

We discuss the limitations of traditional PTA education, which often focuses on rehab-based care and can leave PTAs feeling undervalued and frustrated. Many PTAs seek additional certifications in fitness and wellness to expand their skill set, but these courses often don't provide the depth they need to truly excel in their careers.

That's where the Stretch Mobility Coach certification comes in. This program, designed specifically for PTAs, offers comprehensive training in a proven system that goes beyond just strength and flexibility. It empowers PTAs to find the root cause of clients' issues and provide long-term relief and healing.

Becoming a Stretch Mobility Coach allows PTAs to step away from reactive care and offer a more valuable and independent service. This certification opens up opportunities to work outside traditional PT settings and help clients with a wider range of musculoskeletal problems.

If you're a PTA looking to level up your career and provide more meaningful care, I invite you to learn more about the Stretch Mobility Coach certification and join our upcoming information session. This certification can be your ticket to a more fulfilling and successful career as a PTA.
