Medicare just made its move for 2026… and if you're a physical therapy practice owner, you're going to feel it.

It's about responding. You'll walk away with a clear clinical strategy to help you protect your margins, maintain high-quality care, and position your practice to win despite the pressure. Because while you can't control Medicare, you can control how you adapt.
