Direct Access vs. Referral
Sound Familiar?

Every physical therapy clinic owner we talk to
hits the same walls.

80% of our patients come from physician referrals — if one doctor stops sending us patients, we're in trouble.

We see patients after surgery when they're in pain — not the proactive rehab patients we want.

We offer injury prevention and performance PT but can't reach athletes who'd benefit.

Our cancellation rate is high because patients stop coming once pain improves.

We have expertise that competing clinics don't — but nobody knows because we can't market it.

Physical Therapy Clinic Owner FAQ

Questions we hear every week.

Is direct access PT legal in all states?+

Most states allow direct access PT with some limitations. We build campaigns that comply with your state's specific regulations. Where referral is required, we focus on physician education and sports performance.

How do you target people with specific injuries?+

We use interest-based proxies (specific sports, health conditions adjacent to the injury) and behavioral targeting. Direct health condition targeting is not allowed on Meta.

Can you help reduce post-op no-show rates?+

We build SMS and retargeting sequences that educate patients on the importance of completing their PT course — reducing early dropout before completion.

Can you target athletes in specific sports?+

Yes — interest-based targeting for running, cycling, CrossFit, soccer, and other sports works well. We also target local sports leagues and clubs geographically.

What about workers' comp patients?+

Workers' comp is a separate campaign layer targeting employers and HR managers for onsite PT, ergonomic assessments, and workplace injury management programs.
