    How Stretch Mobility Coaching Can Pave a Path for a PTA Looking for Financial Freedom

    Let’s be real: working in outpatient for $25 an hour or doing PRN for $35 might seem okay for a while, but it’s not a long-term strategy. You didn’t become a PTA just for the paycheck, and you definitely don’t have to accept burnout and capped salaries as your reality. In this episode, I’m breaking down the financial struggles PTAs face in traditional healthcare and why the system is built to keep you stuck. But here’s the good news: there’s another way.  I’m going to show you how Stretch Mobility Coaching is creating a new pathway for PTAs to take control of their income, schedule, and future—without going back to school, taking on more debt, or working endless hours. If you’re feeling financially stuck and looking for a way out, this episode is for you. I’ll share my own journey from making $17 an hour to building a financially rewarding career, and I’ll give you the first steps to start your own path to freedom.

    Why Stretch Mobility Is UNLIKE Physical Therapy

    I’m diving into a question I hear all the time: “Is Stretch Mobility Coaching just another form of physical therapy?” The answer? Absolutely not. Stretch mobility coaching is its own unique lane in the wellness space, and today I’ll break down why this difference is so important for PTAs who are feeling boxed in by traditional PT practice. If you’ve ever wondered why you can’t deliver the care you truly want to give—or if you’re struggling with the limitations of the reactive PT model—this episode is for you. I’ll explain how stretch mobility coaching shifts the focus from reactive care to proactive, long-term wellness and how it allows you to work with a different type of client: people who are motivated, proactive, and ready to invest in their health. We’ll talk about why PT isn’t designed for optimizing movement or achieving long-term strength and flexibility—and how stretch mobility coaching fills that gap. Plus, I’ll share how this career path offers you the freedom to work on your own terms, set your own rates, and truly make an impact. Ready to explore this exciting alternative to traditional PT?
