If you are a physical therapist looking for more than traditional clinic work or tired of navigating insurance red tape, a meaningful path awaits: Industrial Therapy. This isn’t just a shift in service delivery. It is your opportunity to become a central solution in two environments that are both in crisis: America’s workforce and the medical referral system.

You Are the Solution

Today’s Employers are struggling. Workplace injuries are costing U.S. businesses over $15 billion annually from overexertion alone. That single issue accounts for 35% of all workplace injuries. And that means 104 million production days are lost each year. This is your community, your neighborhood, your town.

Physical Therapists are uniquely trained to solve this crisis. The tools you already use every day in your clinical practice (assessment, conditioning, education, and injury prevention) are the very tools that can transform local industry when used proactively.

Imagine serving as the first point of care for a workforce. Imagine forging direct relationships with self-insured Employers who pay you directly, no waiting on approvals or denied payments. Imagine building predictable revenue through strong Employer Partnerships, instead of relying on inconsistent referrals.

Industrial Therapy Is Already Happening

Industrial Therapy isn’t just an idea; it’s a practice already reshaping the future of care for workers and the Employers who rely on them. Therapists partnering with Employers are seeing massive results:

• Surgeries prevented
• Pain-free workdays restored
• Doctor visits reduced
• Lost workdays avoided
• Medical costs lowered
• Workers’ Compensation claims drastically decreased

And the benefits are mutual. Employers save money and keep their teams productive. Therapists gain independence and create revenue that is reliable and meaningful.

This isn’t something you have to build from scratch. KEY Functional Assessments Network, as a pioneer in Industrial Therapy, offers a clear path forward. With guidance on design, structure, sales, marketing, and delivery, you can step into this next chapter of your practice with confidence.
