How to Make Aquatic Therapy Profitable

 

Are you contemplating starting an aquatic therapy practice? Wondering if it will work financially? This webinar will help you compare possible monthly expenses and potential generated income. With the ever changing reimbursement rates, there will be ideas to help generate additional revenue to your business outside of physical therapy income. It will also review maintenance requirements for a small therapy pool. Numbers will be shared for a small rural outpatient physical therapy practice that installed two therapy pools that show how this business continues to grow on a yearly basis. Following this webinar you should be able to determine if you will yield a return on investment with installation of a therapy pool at your facility.

 

Attendees will learn:

  • How to calculate Return on Investment on the purchase of an aquatic therapy pool
  • Average reimbursement rates for a typical aquatic therapy session
  • How costs of owning a pool compare to renting space
  • Average monthly expenses vs. monthly income for a typical aquatic therapy program
  • Creative programming to increase income
  • How to effectively market a new aquatic therapy program
All of this information will be supported with case studies from Mike Studer's cutting edge rehabilitation clinic.
