Heidi Jannenga (https://www.linkedin.com/in/heidijannenga/) has been part of this show since the early days — and she returns with data every clinic owner and staff PT needs to see.

The 2025 State of Rehab Therapy Report (https://www.webpt.com/downloads/the-state-of-rehab-therapy-in-2025) reveals a widening gap between clinicians and leadership. While leaders assume pay is the biggest issue, clinicians say they’re motivated by purpose, autonomy, and meaningful work.

This episode explores:

• Why misalignment is accelerating turnover
• Why “just pay them more” won’t fix it
• What true leadership listening looks like
• The future of AI in rehab therapy
• Whether PT becomes more human-centered — or more commoditized

If the profession is at an inflection point, this is the conversation shaping what happens next.
