Description

Clinic owners and physical therapists — this one’s a wake-up call. Jimmy dives into why 76% of referrals never start PT care and how friction at every stage of the funnel — forms, phone tag, poor UX — drives patients away. You’ll also hear how concierge PT is changing expectations, why Netflix would never make you fax, and the real fixes every clinic can implement to stop the bleeding.


What You’ll Learn:

  • Where patients are dropping off — and why
  • Why your intake form is probably working against you
  • How self-referral is flipping traditional marketing
  • Concierge PT pricing and perception shifts
  • Fixes that scale without hurting patient trust
