How Much Does It Cost to Start a Cash-Based Physical Therapy Practice?

from DPT to CEO: The Podcast · host Morgan Meese

So you’re thinking about starting a cash-based PT practice, but you’re like… “How much is this actually gonna cost me?” You might’ve seen blogs or posts saying $30K–$50K — and I’m here to tell you: lol, no. That’s just not it.During this episode, I’m breaking down what it really costs to get your practice off the ground (hint: it’s way more doable than people make it sound). We’ll talk about realistic startup numbers, how different models (home-based, gym, mobile) can affect your costs, and — maybe most importantly — the sneaky hidden costs of doing it all alone or staying stuck in a job that’s draining you.If you’re ready to ditch the clinic but not ready to spend $50K just to do it, this episode is for you.--Follow me on Instagram: @drmorganmeese | Join my Facebook Group: DPT to CEO | Ready to start your own cash based practice?
