The Healthy Movement Podcast

Are you considering pursuing a career as an entrepreneur in the healthcare world? How can you, as a physical therapy assistant, start your own practice and treat your patients without any restrictions and limitations? 

Welcome to the Rehab to Wellness B.O.S.S Podcast! I'm your host, Kim Nartker, PTA. In this week's episode, I will break down how a physical therapist assistant can step into business ownership. I will also discuss the tools and resources, whether you own a practice or are considering, that will help your business thrive in a rapidly changing and growing healthcare space. 

She will touch on such topics as:

• Just because you're a PTA, doesn’t mean you can’t be a business owner. Business ownership is available to anyone that has the time, the money, and the passion to open a business. 
• PTAs can pivot from their career and start a business in any field that they choose.
• How you can find a mentorship program where you are provided with a proven cash-based, wellness business model with practical clinical training and business sales and marketing training that would allow a PTA to actually profit in their new business the first month of business.
• When starting a business, consider your mindset. A business owner's mindset is very different from a clinical PTA mindset.

As a PTA, you are the backbone of the healthcare system. You are a vital part of your community, and you help patients reach their full potential by ensuring they get the best possible care.

Are you a PTA looking for empowerment, a mentor, and a community to help you become an expert in musculoskeletal health and work with people that are looking for higher quality care? Are you ready to bring your valuable knowledge and expertise in the field of well care prevention and musculoskeletal health in your community? 

Welcome to the Rehab to Wellness B.O.S.S Podcast! I'm your host, Kim Nartker, PTA. In this week's episode, I will talk about how a PTA (Physical Therapy Assistant) can take a different path and gain career advancement without risking or losing their license. She will also discuss how you can utilize your current knowledge as a PTA and experience into a training program that is structured and teaches you practical skills that are not taught in the current PTA program. 

She will touch on such topics as:

• How you can be valued as a well care coach and be an expert in the field of well care prevention and musculoskeletal health in your community. 
• A good career path leads us to help people in the long term.  PTAs have the unique opportunity to offer value as an expert in musculoskeletal health and work with people that are looking for higher quality care. 
• You have to shift that career focus just to make more money because there is no direct career path and growth for PTAs.
• If you want to become a business owner, your ownership path is now wide open and you'll have a blueprint to make opening a wellness business a reality. 
• A PTA can become a stretch mobility coach apprentice without having to open their own business. 
• When you're working as a PTA, your skillset really depends upon the practice area that you're practicing.
• TSM teaches you different - it will teach you to refine and develop your practical skills through a comprehensive hands-on training combined with practical clinical skills that will help you gain confidence in your skillset and feel like you are helping people live the life that they want to live without the risk of having to stop the things they enjoy most.

• Life can be hard, and there are gonna be things thrown in front of you that you're not going to be able to just kind of step over and move on - but these hard times will reveal who you are as a person. 
• Sometimes life may seem hopeless, and you may feel full of fear, anger, frustration, guilt, whatever that is, be courageous and take one step forward every day.
