Is Physical Therapy a dying profession?
Over the past five years there have been a lot of changes in our field. Changes with insurance reimbursement, increased debt to income ratio, high volume, and some may even suggest lack of APTA support. These changes have led some to believe our profession is going in the wrong direction. In this episode we cover some of our thoughts and ideas, giving our take on what we expect to happen over the next three years. IG: @lets_talk_rehab
