In this episode of PT Pintcast, Jimmy and Tony unpack declining reimbursement, PT business models, digital income streams, AI clones, and whether private practice needs to adapt—or prepare to disappear.

If you're a PT or clinic owner trying to protect your margin, your freedom, and your future, this episode matters.
