350: Dr. Josh Payne, PT, DPT: The Anatomy of a Cash-Based Physical Therapy Start Up

Healthy Wealthy & Smart

On this episode of the Healthy Wealthy and Smart Podcast, Dr. Josh Payne joins me to discuss how he began his concierge physical therapy practice. Dr. Josh Payne is the owner of Freedom Physical Therapy, providing concierge services to his clients in Denver, CO. Josh started his practice after getting tired of the traditional physical therapy model in multiple outpatient clinics that he worked in. He is an advocate for the growth of the physical therapy profession, and for the trend towards more personalized care.

In this episode, we discuss:

-Why Josh decided he wanted to open his own private practice and how he laid the foundations for his business

-Josh’s top referral sources he used to build his patient case load

-Some mistakes made along the way while growing his practice

-What the future has in store for Freedom Physical Therapy

-And so much more!

Josh believes confidence in yourself as a therapist will go a long way in helping you grow your practice. Josh stresses, “The whole reason why I want to start a practice is to give my patients what they truly deserve.”

Entrepreneurs can invest an abundance of time in their business and setting boundaries at the beginning can be an important consideration. Josh found that, “I took away everything that wasn’t helping me go in the direction I wanted to go forward with.”

Job burnout is becoming more and more common in physical therapy. Find the right blend for your practice as Josh advises, “Don’t be afraid to be different in the world of PT.”
