Welcome back to the show! In today’s episode, I dive into a topic that’s close to my heart—how PTAs like you and me can step into the realm of solo practice. Many of us feel burnt out and undervalued, yet we know we have more to offer beyond the confines of traditional roles. Today, I'll share the crucial first step you need to take if you're ready to make a meaningful impact in health, wellness, and fitness without being tethered to the conventional physical therapy setting.
I'll be debunking some common misconceptions about our licensure and the paths available to us outside the standard healthcare framework. We’ll explore how our extensive training in dealing with pain, post-surgical care, and orthopedic cases forms a solid foundation—but it's just the beginning. I’ll guide you on how to expand your understanding of the human body, health, and fitness to serve not just those who are healthy but also those who fall through the cracks of our current health systems.
This episode is packed with insights on navigating from reactive to proactive neuromuscular care. Whether you’re dealing with seniors who want to maintain their independence, adults rejoining the fitness world, or young athletes needing more than just temporary fixes, there’s a place for you to excel. Join me as I outline the transformative shift from traditional physical therapy to a holistic approach that encompasses true wellness and fitness. If you're ready to take the first step towards a rewarding solo practice, this episode is for you.

Today, I'm excited to dive into the crucial differences between Physical Therapy and the Stretch Method. Physical Therapy focuses on restoring and maintaining physical function, utilizing hands-on techniques and exercises to help patients recover from injury or surgery. Its goal is to improve strength, flexibility, and balance while reducing pain.
But here's the thing: despite Physical Therapy's value, I noticed a gap in care that inspired me to create the Stretch Method. It's a holistic approach combining physical therapy principles with reconditioning programs and preventative health strategies. Unlike conventional care, we seek to reverse pain and tightness, restoring joint mobility and breaking the cycle that leads to chronic pain.
I founded this methodology to fill the gap between existing services like Physical Therapy, athletic training, personal training, and chiropractic care. I saw the need to unite these disciplines while ensuring each expert can stay in their lane. In this episode, I'll explain how our whole-body testing and treatment program helps break that deconditioning cycle, enabling our clients to regain strength, flexibility, and confidence.
If you're a licensed Physical Therapist Assistant interested in becoming a Certified Stretch Mobility Coach, I'm inviting you to schedule a free coaching call with me. Together, we can expand this movement to create real change and help people lead lives without limits.

PTAs - if selling scares you, don't miss this episode. Today we deep into the often intimidating world of selling for Physical Therapist Assistants and other rehabilitation professionals. Aimed at those who find the concept of selling outside their comfort zone, I explore how to effectively offer healthcare solutions without the pressure of traditional sales tactics. I break down the pervasive issues surrounding chronic pain and the extensive, often costly, journey individuals undertake in search of relief—from frequent YouTube searches to expensive visits across various medical professionals. Despite such efforts, many find only temporary fixes, leading to a cycle of pain, poor mental health, and spiraling healthcare costs.
I discuss the significant impact of untreated chronic conditions on daily life and mental health, as supported by insights from the Centers for Disease Control. Furthermore, I critique the limitations of the current health insurance models that focus more on catastrophic care rather than preventative measures and long-term wellness. This episode is not just a discussion but a call to action for PTAs to embrace a holistic approach to healthcare. By aligning my services with the needs of the community, I can transition from traditional selling to becoming an integral partner in my clients' health, ultimately fostering a system that supports a thriving, healthy society. Join me as I equip you with the knowledge and confidence to transform your practice and help your clients live without limits.

Welcome back to another episode of The Stretch Mobility Coach Podcast! In today's episode, I dive into a topic that may not be at the forefront of your mind, but is crucial nonetheless: are your PTA skills holding you back from achieving solo success? Many of us have been trained in traditional treatment techniques that lack the long-term benefits our clients are desperately seeking. You might be shocked to learn that the newer muscular system treatments we provide as PTAs were not actually developed with what consumers need most in mind—long-term relief and preventative care.
Join me as I share insights from years of research into the deconditioning cycle, which has led my team and I to develop a new, comprehensive treatment approach. This goes beyond what we were taught as PTAs, challenging the state-of-the-art treatments we’re familiar with. I'll also share personal stories from my early days working alongside Stacy at the Beckett Clinic, where her mentorship and our ongoing professional challenges sparked the creation of innovative methods that redefined our practice.
Whether you're frustrated by the limitations of your current role or seeking more autonomy to treat patients as you see fit, this episode is for you. We'll explore how these new methods can not only improve your practice but also provide a path to independence and success.
I hope this conversation opens your eyes to the potential for growth beyond traditional frameworks and inspires you to think differently about your career as a PTA. Tune in, and let’s take this journey together.

In today’s episode, we’re tackling a topic close to many of our hearts: burnout. Now, I know burnout often carries a negative connotation—a signal to stop everything and reset. But what if it's actually a nudge towards something better?
Join me as we explore burnout not just as a barrier but as a potentially transformative experience. We'll discuss its causes, its intensely real symptoms, and the opportunities it might be quietly leading us towards. I’ll share insights from my own journey in neuromusculoskeletal health, from working one-on-one with clients to now empowering PTAs across the U.S. to do the same.
Whether you’re feeling undervalued, overworked, or simply stuck in your current role, this episode is for you. We’ll dive into how to use the discomfort of burnout as a springboard to elevate your professional life and achieve the financial freedom you deserve. So, if you’re ready to turn what feels like an endpoint into a new beginning, let’s get started. Remember, every little step forward today shapes a better tomorrow.

Welcome back to The Stretch Mobility Coach Podcast! Today we'll talk about why affiliating with Stretch Mobility Coach offers a much faster and more efficient route to business success compared to going at it alone.
In this episode, we unpack the sparse and underwhelming business opportunities traditionally available to PTAs and how these options fail to leverage their extensive skills and education. Our special discussion sheds light on the incredible benefits of aligning with Stretch Mobility Coach, emphasizing the lack of clear pathways for PTAs to utilize their skills effectively in a standalone business venture.
Discover how affiliation not only accelerates the journey to business ownership but also provides crucial business, sales, and marketing guidance alongside a unique skill set that distinguishes you as an expert in the field. Hear firsthand the challenges and triumphs of forging a new path for PTAs to operate independently without the need for a PT degree or resorting to a franchise model that might not fully utilize their capabilities.
Learn about the practicalities of starting up, including the initial investments, the struggles of gaining traction without a known brand, and how the Stretch Mobility Coach model offers a comprehensive "business in a box" solution. This model minimizes upfront costs, avoids the rigid structures of franchising, and instead, provides extensive training, support, and the use of a trusted brand name.
We'll also discuss the innovative approach inspired by models like CrossFit, allowing PTAs to purchase an affiliate license, gain brand recognition, and utilize a proven system to launch and grow their business effectively. This episode is a must-listen for any PTA looking to break into the business world with minimal risk and maximum support. Join us to learn how you can too leverage the Stretch Mobility Coach affiliation to fast-track your success, utilize your skills fully, and ultimately achieve the dream of business ownership with confidence and clarity.
Tune in to gain invaluable insights and take the first step towards transforming your career with the backing of a national brand. Don't miss this opportunity to become part of a community that's redefining success for PTAs nationwide.

In today's episode, I'm thrilled to share something truly groundbreaking that's been brewing behind the scenes. As a seasoned professional in the world of healthcare, I've seen firsthand the gaps in care for our senior community, particularly those residing in assisted and independent living facilities. Recognizing these challenges, I've developed a new specialty certificate aimed at empowering not just PTAs and PTs, but also OTs and Occupational Therapist Assistants to offer comprehensive well care services to the complex senior population.
This innovative certificate allows licensed rehab professionals to extend their expertise beyond traditional physical therapy, addressing the urgent need for targeted, effective well care services nationwide. The reality is stark; too often, seniors face a decline in their functional abilities due to inadequate support post-discharge from therapy services. This decline is not just a matter of aging; it's a consequence of the limited scope of care currently available, constrained by insurance limitations and a lack of specialized programs focused on maintaining and improving seniors' quality of life.
But it's not all doom and gloom. This new program represents a beacon of hope. It's designed to bridge the gap, offering rehab professionals the tools they need to implement reconditioning programs that cater specifically to the needs of the complex senior. With a curriculum that includes exercise prescription, well care assessment, and long-term reconditioning programming, this workshop is poised to revolutionize how we support our seniors in maintaining their independence and vitality.
The first course, focusing on exercise prescription for the complex senior, is just the beginning. It promises to prepare participants to deliver services that align with their licenses while meeting the critical needs of seniors in a way that Part A and Part B coverage simply cannot. I'm calling on my fellow PTs, OTs, COTAs, and PTAs who share a passion for this work and are ready to step outside the confines of orthopedics and traditional therapy models.
00:00 Introduction of new specialty certificate
01:21 The need for well care for seniors in assisted living and independent living facilities
04:41 Increase in weakening and decline in senior population
05:11 Lack of well care programs in assisted living and independent living facilities
06:31 The role of PTs, PTAs, OTs, and OTAs in providing well care
07:01 Introduction of the exercise prescription for the complex senior
08:23 Addressing burnout and restrictions in insurance-based care
09:22 Simplifying the process of assessment and intervention
10:14 Learning objectives of the workshop
11:30 Qualifications and sign-up for the workshop

In today's episode, I share my journey from a traditional clinical PTA to becoming a top earner in 2024, focusing on how we can unlock our full potential in physical therapy. Despite the limitations set by insurance and conventional PT roles, I've spent over a decade finding ways for PTAs like myself to exceed these boundaries and better serve our patients.
Many of us feel restricted by insurance policies and are unaware of the full scope of our licenses. This lack of clarity hinders our ability to offer more comprehensive care. I've discovered that diving into areas like deconditioning cycles and preventative care reveals a disconnect between our training and the needs of those we serve.
To address this, I emphasize understanding the scope of our licenses and exploring opportunities in health, wellness, and fitness beyond traditional PT. I suggest using a specialized service to ensure compliance with state regulations, freeing us to focus on expanding our practices.
This episode also highlights the need to align our skills with consumer demands for wellness and prevention, pointing out the growing trend of assisted stretching studios and boutique fitness centers. I introduce the PTA Business Accelerator Program, designed to enhance our clinical skills, business knowledge, and connect us with a supportive community to fast-track our journey to becoming top earners.
Join me as we take steps to redefine our careers, increase our earning potential, and deliver more impactful care by breaking free from traditional constraints.

In this insightful episode of The Stretch Mobility Coach Podcast, I share my personal journey of becoming an expert in the musculoskeletal system, specifically aimed at PTAs who aspire to transition from reactive to proactive, niche-focused care. I recount my own experiences in evolving into an expert in this field, emphasizing the integration of traditional physical therapy with wellness to help clients reach their ultimate potential.
Throughout the episode, I discuss the various challenges and breakthroughs I faced in my career spanning over a decade, highlighting the critical importance of truly listening to clients, tailoring treatment programs to individual needs, and navigating the constraints posed by insurance limitations. I delve into my frustration with the limited treatment options covered by conventional insurance and how this motivated me to develop a cash-based practice model.
Key points include the establishment of my PT and total wellness practice, concentrating on long-term client wellness rather than short-term symptomatic treatment. I describe how I expanded my knowledge through additional training in chiropractic care, personal training, massage therapy, myofascial relief, and other holistic care models, effectively filling a significant gap in the healthcare market.
Furthermore, I provide valuable insights for PTAs looking to establish themselves as experts in their community. I advise on identifying a niche, conducting thorough market research, understanding client needs in-depth, and obtaining the necessary certifications. The episode especially focuses on senior fitness, offering detailed guidance on customizing services for this demographic.
This narrative is a testament to the power of determination, skill enhancement, and community engagement. It's an inspiring and informative session for PTAs and other healthcare professionals aiming to elevate their practice and provide comprehensive, client-centered care.
Join me in this episode for an enriching exploration of professional growth, the complexities of the musculoskeletal system, and the practical steps to becoming a recognized expert in your field.
