GBU S2-E 33 Left Out in the Cold? Why Physical Therapists Feel Disconnected—and How We Move Forward

Physical therapists are highly trained, deeply invested in their patients, and essential to modern healthcare—yet many feel disconnected from decision-making, compensation growth, and long-term career stability.In this episode, we explore why PTs are feeling this way, from reimbursement challenges to productivity expectations to the widening gap between education and real-world practice. More importantly, we talk about what can change—how clinicians can reclaim agency, create leverage, and build sustainable careers without losing why they chose PT in the first place.
