This is episode three in my four-part series, all about how PTAs can build their own business without needing to go back to PT school or work under a physical therapist. If you haven’t listened to episodes one and two yet, hit pause and go check those out first!
Today, we’re getting into the legal side of things—because if you don’t fully understand your PTA license and its boundaries, you could risk everything you’ve worked for. I'm breaking down what your license actually allows, what it doesn’t, and why just offering “stretching” or “fitness” services doesn’t automatically keep you safe.
I’ll walk you through:
- What practicing outside your scope really looks like
- Why your PTA training doesn’t transfer into the wellness world unless it’s restructured legally
- How the Stretch Mobility Coaching model gives you a brand-new, non-medical professional identity—with full legal compliance from day one
This episode is about protecting your license, your livelihood, and your future. So if you’re serious about going solo, this is a must-listen. I’ll see you in episode four, where we’ll tackle the biggest fear of all: What if I fail?
