Are you a physical therapist dreaming of owning your own clinic but unsure where to start? Look no further! In this comprehensive guide, we'll walk you through the essential steps to launch and grow your very own physical therapy clinic successfully.

1. Track the Right Data and Metrics: One of the keys to a thriving clinic is tracking the right data, metrics, and key performance indicators (KPIs). These metrics are crucial for making informed decisions within your business. Consider transitioning to software like PPG Everywhere to streamline data tracking and reporting processes, making it easier to monitor your clinic's performance.

2. Overcome Marketing Challenges: Marketing for a cash-based or hybrid physical therapy practice comes with its own set of challenges.

We'll explore how to navigate these challenges and craft compelling marketing messages that resonate with your target audience.

3. Digital Marketing Strategies: Dive into the world of digital marketing and learn how to leverage platforms like Facebook and Google to reach potential clients. Understand the importance of calculating the conversion cost and lifetime value of clients to assess the effectiveness of your digital advertising campaigns. We'll also discuss the significance of building a strong local reputation and social proof to enhance your online presence.

4. Integrate Online and Offline Marketing: Discover how to integrate your online and offline marketing efforts for maximum impact. Your local reputation and social proof play a crucial role in the success of your digital advertising campaigns. Learn how to build a solid local presence through social media, reviews, and a professional website to attract and retain clients.

5. Free Resource - PT Biz 5 Day Challenge: Take advantage of our free PT Biz 5-Day Challenge, designed to help physical therapists transition from part-time to full-time practice. Gain clarity on financial goals, marketing strategies, and business planning to take your clinic to the next level.
