As a physical therapist operating under the traditional clinic model, you know the challenges: long hours, inconsistent patient flow, endless administrative work, the fear of NOT HAVING THE RIGHT REIMBURSEMENT TO PAY THE BILLS! And constant marketing just to get one more patient through the door. Feels like you’re sprinting on a treadmill that never slows down!

But what if you could stop chasing individual patients and start treating them before they even step foot in a clinic?

Welcome to Industrial Therapy! A more scalable way to grow your practice and expand your impact.

Shift Your Focus: From One Patient at a Time to One Employer at a Time

In the clinic world, every new patient requires another marketing effort, referral, or insurance approval. But in the industrial space, a single Employer unlocks access to hundreds of Employees, all in one place, with fewer administrative hurdles.

• Rather than waiting for patients to come to you, you go to them, meeting your community where they spend the majority of their time: at work.
• This model doesn’t focus only on recovery; it emphasizes prevention, education for performance, and long-term ability and mobility health. Employers love it because it reduces injuries, lowers insurance premiums, and increases workforce productivity.

Why Physical Therapists Are Making the Move

Bigger Reach = Bigger Growth

Employers give you access to a pool of potential patients, not just a trickle. Imagine running programs for a workforce of 500 employees, compared to waiting for a dozen to find your clinic.

Less Reliance on Insurance

Fewer insurance headaches; more time doing what you love: treating patients, getting results.

Stability and Predictability

Your work brings predictability to your calendars AND consistent, paid on- time, in-full revenue.

Greater Impact

Ripple effect of your work: You’re not just healing bodies; you’re supporting livelihoods and keeping work teams and family structures strong.

Break Free from the Clinic Model

Releasing yourself from the one-patient-at-a-time model, you’ll shift from a Business-to-Consumer (B2C) mindset to a Business-to-Business (B2B) approach. That means:

• Build relationships with local businesses; partner with HR and Safety professionals
• Present your services as both a health care solution and a business benefit
• Offer metrics and outcomes that matter to Employers of reducing lost workdays, Workers’ Comp costs and medical Health claims.

The time you would normally spend chasing your next patient? Invest it in connecting with Employers. One strong partnership could transform your entire practice.
