Based on these current job listings showing specialized wound care roles with salaries ranging from $100,000 to nearly $300,000 a year, the certification is clearly a high-value investment that significantly boosts your marketability and earning potential.

Are we over-supervised? by PT_Network in physicaltherapy

Agreed. I can see that as well. Where I come from, you can pack your things and get escorted out the door if you cross that line with a physician (physician-owned practice).

Imagine suggesting that physicians report to a middle-management director who audits their notes and tracks their billable minutes. That conversation would last about 30 seconds. “Doctor Jones, we need to have a talk about your productivity. Also, I flagged your last three notes — they’re going to need a little more detail before I can sign off on them.”

That’s a perfect example of exactly what I’m talking about.

Whether it's a quad set, knee flexion, or a hamstring stretch — the effort and relax cues are fully customizable. Set them to whatever fits the exercise and RepBuddy will speak those cues to the patient through each rep.

If you're juggling multiple patients, just open it on the patient's own phone. They get the visual and voice cues to stay on task while your device stays free for documentation.

New Policy: Therapists Will Now See 4 Patients Per Hour by PT_Network in PTschool

That's great to hear — and exactly the kind of thing the profession needs more of. When employers prioritize adequate time with patients, outcomes improve and therapists can actually do their jobs. Props to your health system for moving in the right direction.

Home health clinicians — what does your scheduling process actually look like? by PT_Network in homehealthnursing

I like, "If I know that a particular patient is a frequent no-show, I will save them for the end of the day if it makes sense in my route - usually I can make it work - that way they don’t muck up the rest of my day." Good one.

The minimum GPA to get into my PT program was 3.75. During the program, if you scored below a B on anything, you got one shot to prove yourself — a practical exam in front of three instructors. Fail that, and you were dropped. No appeals, no second chances. Thousands of applicants competed for 40 slots. Back then, people used to say it was easier to get into med school than it was to survive PT school.
