About this episode

This episode discusses the shift towards cash-based care models for Physical Therapist Assistants and the opportunities they present.

Burnout in physical therapy is real—and it’s pushing many clinicians to rethink their careers. In this episode of the PTA+ Podcast, we sit down live from CSM with Andrew Schofner, CEO of PtEverywhere, to explore how cash-based and hybrid care models are creating new opportunities for Physical Therapist Assistants. Andrew shares insights on: Why traditional insurance-based models are becoming unsustainable How PTAs can expand into wellness and cash-based services What it looks like to start a side hustle or independent path The mindset shift required to take control of your career This episode is especially valuable for PTAs who feel stuck, burned out, or curious about what else is possible in the profession.
