This episode of PT Pintcast brings together the crew behind the PT Breakfast Club — Tony Maritato, Dave Kittle, and Jimmy McKay — for an unfiltered roundtable on the state of the profession.

What starts as a conversation about PT burnout quickly unpacks into the deeper issues fueling the fire: unrealistic expectations, outdated business models, weak Medicare reimbursement, and a profession still stuck in legacy mindsets.

Expect sarcasm, solutions, and some hard truths — plus some good-natured ribbing and a few rants on clipboards, compliance, and the alphabet soup of regulations.

In this episode:

• Why burnout is worse than ever — and no, it’s not just about too many patients
• The real role of APTA (and what PTs think it should be)
• Why it might be time to stop chasing insurance money
• What happens when good therapists leave the system entirely
