PT's Real Problem Isn't Motivation, It's Communication

Physical therapy doesn’t have a motivation problem — it has a communication problem.

In this episode of PT Pintcast, Jimmy McKay and Rebekah Griffith dig into why the profession keeps having the same conversations year after year — and why so little actually changes. From conferences where nothing leaves the room, to leadership groups stuck in “maybe,” this episode challenges PTs to stop waiting for “they” and start owning the future of the profession.

If you care about leadership, advocacy, member engagement, and actually moving the needle in physical therapy — this one’s for you.
