#058 If you're feeling burned out and disillusioned, our guest, Valerie Levesque, a physical therapist, faced a common problem in her career: a mountain of debt, and a clear-cut income ceiling. The traditional rehab model in competitive environments like Seattle left her nowhere else to turn except to contemplate alternative paths outside the traditional rehab model.
In this episode, Valerie shares her process of transitioning to a cash-based model for her physical therapy practice, how she is strategically growing her business, and maintaining intentional small-scale operations while prioritizing her role as a mom. From the undeniable value of networking groups to the compelling allure of a well-crafted brand story, this episode provides actionable insights to achieve this.
The realization that patients with insurance plans facing limitations or high deductibles are willing to pay out of pocket for this personalized and high-quality care, really underscores the validity of this alternative approach. Valerie's transition to a concierge model serves as an example for those wanting a more sustainable and satisfying approach to their careers in physical therapy.
