Should you explore the concept of starting a practice of your own?  Have you thought about it before?  Even just in your hopes and dreams?  Many physical therapists, occupational therapists and athletic trainers begin their careers – and continue their work path – by punching the clock in an outpatient clinic, a hospital, or on an athletic field.  We often eventually have the desire to construct our work life – with more flexibility of time and increased income.  Now might be that time for you!?

Should I open my own Clinic? 

Starting a typical private practice, of course, is an option to consider.  You know, however, that the hurdles to clear are big.  The physical plant site, the cost of equipment, on-boarding and maintaining high quality staff, the bookkeeping and accounting, the complicated coding and billing, the collection of insurance payments, the software for scheduling/treatment documentation/reporting, the legal responsibilities.  The list becomes daunting, doesn’t it.  It makes us want to ‘run like the wind’!  Too much stress!  Too much risk!  Too long before there can be a return on my investment!  Where did the fun of being a therapist go?!

 Alternative Options: There are many!!!! 

Now is a great time to get ahead – build a self-employment income in this industry….
