How to Open a Physical Therapy Business: a 20 step guide to treating your first patient as a solopractitioner

Stephanie was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and patient as we navigated through Essential Physiotherapy and Wellness Clinic beginning process. Stephanie took the time to understand our needs and preferences, and found us the perfect business model for EPWC.

I wish I had this program years ago when I was just starting out. Stephanie's program was FAR more robust than I even expected. It is well laid out and covers every aspect of running an efficient clinic.

Stephanie helped me from the ground up, from writing up my first business plan to navigating grand opening weekend. Any question I had, she was there for me, throughout the entire process.

Technical insight and an entrepreneurial perspective on operating a Physical Therapy practice. From infancy to multiple practices, her master formula enables the practitioner to monitor each aspect of their business and truly brings to life the term "work smarter not harder". With her guidance, I was able to increase my revenue in 3 months and avoid any pitfalls that most owners are unaware of most of the time.

Stephanie is an incredible business coach/consultant. My business was doing well, but I felt like I needed someone to help me implement systems, data and objective goals to take my business to the next level and confidently add another provider to my team.

Not only has Stephanie helped me do this as well as helping me to triple my revenue in just 5 months, but she has done so with understanding, compassion and support. Stephanie is an extremely hard worker and provides tremendous ongoing support to her clients.

If you are looking for '10 guaranteed patients quick' then this isn't the program for you. Stephanie's SOAP method forgoes the quick fixes and instead empowers you to develop systems and strong relationships in your community that deliver over and over.

Stephanie has been extremely influential in the development of my entire practice. With her help, we were able to continue pushing forward [after 2020 setbacks] and keep a growth mindset. She has become my go-to person for everything practice related, from front desk operations, to hiring new employees, to marketing and organizing all that we do here.

After 5 months of using these resources - I have been able to get out of work earlier, spend longer mornings with my daughter, and condense the schedule. The highest income month since I’ve started with less volume.

Working with Stephanie and The Planning PT has been an absolute game changer for my business! When I started my business, I didn’t have a lot of the policies put into place to set me up for success as I started to get busy. This has previously been a side business, but working with Stephanie has opened my eyes to the potential of this business and my future.

She is a wealth of knowledge and has your best interest at heart when working with you. No matter how big or small your business is, she works with setting you up for success and reaching your goals. Highly recommend Stephanie with The Planning PT!

Even if you already have the resources (like I did), she helps you put everything into a plan that not only helps your streamline your processes, but can help you to propel your business to the next level.

After 8 weeks I have a better understanding of the health and sustainability of my practice, better systems in place for my patients, and I'm maximizing my time. Growth is continuing to happen!

I started my practice from my home and moved it to a 100 sq ft office in 2 months. Later on, I signed a lease for a 1000 sq ft office in less than 3 months.

Her guidance helped me build my business and make my dream come true. She is very knowledgeable and goes out of her way to help you.

As an immigrant, I never thought of having my business in a foreign country where I had only lived for 4 years.

Stephanie has truly been a “business saver” by guiding me into a more organized system where I am able to make informed decisions. Her business model aligns perfectly with mine and I knew instantly that her coaching would be invaluable. Thank you Stephanie! I can’t recommend her services more highly.

Doesn’t matter what your dreams are, if you want to build to be a solo practitioner or have multiple clinics and anything in between as a Physical Therapist she has the tools to help you succeed more than you could ever dream. You need the right coach to help you get there and Stephanie is that coach!

She’s helped me quit my side gig, build out my first location, helping me open a second location and hiring staff now as well. Only 1 and half years into it 💪.

I was hesitant to work with a business coach at the start, but working with Stephanie has been crucial to the growth of my practice! Following her system and guidance, she has pushed me out of my comfort zone and I have been able to add my first 2 employees to the practice. She is highly reliable, easy to get in touch with, and goes above and beyond to show up for the owners in her community. I highly recommend her to any small practices that are looking to grow!

Stephanie and I have been working together since August 2023. Working with her has transformed my practice. In the past, I was incredibly resistant to working with a coach. I believed most of them had their own agenda and weren’t there to help me with my vision. She is everything you want a coach to be! She is professional, kind, capable and genuinely wants to help you determine what you want for your practice. She is knowledgeable and has a proven system. Working with her has been the best decision I have ever made for my practice and its growth.

I have looked into other coaching programs and I'm not playing. I really wanted to only spend money on coaching that would benefit my bottom line ASAP. I needed systems and hiring processes and all the things. Stephanie has exceeded my expectations. She digs in and gets her hands dirty and at times even runs with things I just can't seem to find time to get to.

Stephanie is amazing! This was my first time working with a consultant and I was not sure what to expect. She helped me organize my company in a way that focused on keeping track of our finances as well our independent contractors.

Her program was not difficult to follow and she was available to answer any questions I had. I enjoyed how personable she was. This helped me stay committed towards the program.

Highly recommend! She helped me put systems in place and use calculations in order to figure out how many spots are open for evaluations. My business feels less chaotic and so much more organized!
