Have your referrals and appointments seemed a bit sluggish lately? It’s not your imagination; it’s the season. Summer is often a slower time for private practice physical therapy clinics. The reasons can vary by area, but generally include:

• Patients Vacation & Travel: Many postpone appointments due to summer trips and family obligations.
• Referral Lulls: Physicians and other referral sources take time off, reducing new patient flow.
• Historical Trends: Clinics often report August as their lowest-volume month.

Fill the down time with growth value opportunities!!! Harness this opportunity to further careers; add a new revenue source; expand your practice into an entirely new and immensely rewarding direction!

Here’s why the summer slump presents a prime time for education and expansion:

• More Schedule Flexibility: Fewer patients allows bandwidth for workshops, CEUs, or in-service training
  Strategic Planning Window: It’s a great time to implement new clinical and operational strategies.
  Team Building: Strengthen your clinic culture and introduce and align on new goals.
• So for those of you considering a new direction for your practice…How does earning up to $330 for Prior-to-Hire Assessments sound? Or better yet, you could reap up to $3000 for four-hour Job Readiness & KEY FCA testing!
