Free Resources for Rehab Therapists

Whether you're a practice owner or a practicing rehab therapist (or both!), staying on top of industry best practices, new technologies, and changing regulations and requirements is easier when you have a few favorites to check on a regular basis. 

Practice owners may be looking for great ways to attract and retain new patients, build visibility, and build an excellent culture. Therapists on the other hand can benefit from the coaching and thought leaders who can offer best practices for efficiency, patient care, managing up, and even balancing work life with family life, health, and so much more. 

One of our favorite parts of working in the rehab therapy industry is the collaborative nature of the thought leaders and business owners working closely with other owners and therapists. The list of great resources is continually growing, so we curated a list of SOME of our favorites and will continue adding to this list (so check back!) These leaders (which are in no particular order) offer coaching, marketing, billing, compliance, and advisory services to the industry and also offer a wealth of FREE resources like podcasts, blogs, templates, guides, and checklists on a variety of topics that matter to therapists and clinic owners.
