GBU S2-E21: What's Missing in Physical Therapy
Description
What’s Missing in Physical Therapy: The Truth Behind the System
Is the physical therapy profession losing its identity? In this episode, we take an honest look at what’s truly missing in PT today — from authentic patient care to clinical creativity. We discuss how insurance-driven models, productivity standards, and burnout culture have turned passionate therapists into paperwork machines.
You’ll hear real talk about:
- Why PTs feel restricted by insurance codes and time constraints.
- How overemphasis on metrics is killing patient relationships.
- The decline of mentorship and hands-on skill development.
- The gap between academia and real-world clinical practice.
- What needs to change if we want to bring purpose and fulfillment back to the field.
Whether you’re a new grad trying to find your place, or a seasoned PT questioning where the profession is headed, this conversation will challenge you to rethink what physical therapy should be.
