Using Aquatic Therapy to Create a Scalable Physical Therapy Business Topic of HydroWorx Sponsored Webinar
Middletown, PA (PRWEB) May 26, 2015 -- For any physical therapy business considering the move to aquatic therapy options, the question is not whether aquatics will be beneficial to patients, but how to successfully build an aquatic program that more-than pays for itself over time. True scalability takes forward-thinking practices as well as proven business methods. On Thursday, May 28, 2015, from 2:00-3:00 p.m. E.D.T., HydroWorx will sponsor a one-hour webinar dedicated to this hot-button topic among PT clinic owners, hosted by the National Rural Health Association (NRHA) .
“Creating a Scalable Business with Aquatic Therapy”, presented by Keith Ori, PT, and Patrick Gulick, MS, PT, unmasks the truths behind what it takes for physical therapy entities to make the move to aquatic therapy. As co-owners of Kalispell, MT, based Orthopedic Rehab’s Aquatic and Spine Center, Ori and Gulick will share their model for aquatics sustainability by revealing:
- How they made the decision to expand into aquatic therapy, including how they chose the right therapy pool, site and business model.
- How they marketed their pool to potential patients and referral sources.
- How they managed the staffing, training, appointment scheduling and other aspects of their aquatic therapy program.
In a rarely seen move of complete openness, Ori and Gulick will be sharing with “Creating a Scalable Business with Aquatic Therapy” attendees their actual financial figures, including profits/losses, therapy pool statistics, financial summaries and more. Registration is free, but must be made online at http://ww2.hydroworx.com/webinar-nrha-scalable-business before the start of the webinar to attend.
