Patients Want Results, Not PT: How to Sell What They Value

Update: 2025-10-01

Description

If your patients love you but don’t come back, your business is broken. What happens when your clinic is full of people who don’t actually want what you offer? You're not a provider anymore. You're a time-filler. That’s burnout on a platter.


Some patients don’t want PT; they want convenience, routine, or whatever insurance covers. Dave Kittle, Tony Maritato, and Jimmy McKay show how to align your model with real motives: sell outcomes (not exercises), experiment with mini-memberships, and build the rejection muscle if you’re going out-of-network. They dig into purpose-driven marketing for seniors, hybrid/concierge options, and what keeps patients engaged. If you want a business built on results, not excuses, this one’s for you.
