Physical Therapist Walks Away From Corporate Job | Here's Why It Worked

Private practice physical therapy, clinic growth, and PT business ownership explained for physical therapists and clinic owners. In this episode, Owen Campbell shares how he walked away from corporate PT leadership and built a practice starting from the trunk of his car.

Most PTs were never taught how to think like business owners. That gap leads to burnout, stalled clinic growth, and frustration with the healthcare system. Owen breaks down the real skills PTs already have that translate into business success — and the mindset shift needed to scale a clinic.

If you’re a physical therapist thinking about starting a practice, growing a clinic, or escaping burnout, this episode focuses on the real-world lessons most PT programs never teach.
