- What if physical therapy clinics offered weed or wine during treatment — would patients actually heal faster?

- Can physical therapy become an experience patients actually look forward to*?

In this idea packed crossover with PT Pintcast, Jimmy McKay, Dave Kittle and Tony Maritato unpack how clinics can create unforgettable patient journeys, attract better clinicians, and scale their brand using bold storytelling, immersive care models, and strategic content.

From rehab cruises and "happy hour therapy" to "shower based treatments" and Netflix style content drops, this episode pushes the boundaries of what's possible in modern rehab.
