In this eye-opening episode, Nathan Shields sits down with a PPOClub Conference keynote speaker Scott Gardner, founder of the United Physical Therapy Association (UPTA), for a candid conversation about his noble stand against industry failure. He talks about his mission to address the growing challenges facing private practice owners and why many feel abandoned by the APTA. Scott also shares what pushed him to launch a new association built by and for private practice PTs, and what it will take to turn the tide in our industry.
They dive into:
- Why so many PT owners are losing trust in traditional advocacy groups
- The origin story of the United Physical Therapy Association
- Key policy issues threatening private practices today
- What real representation should look like – and how to get it
- How private practice owners can unify and push for change
If you're tired of feeling like you are on your own, this is a must-listen episode.
