Your goal is to be the best physical therapy clinic in town so you can help the greatest amount of patients possible. To that end, our goal is to help you help others.
But it is never an easy path. In fact, it’s often filled with missteps, starts and stops and a whole lot more than they pointed out in PT school. We know firsthand.
When we started Competitive Edge Performance in 2007, Jason Waz and his team fumbled through the operations and business side of the private practice while constantly searching for the best ways to serve patients. We would joke with patients, “We’ll either cure you or kill you, but we won’t give up on you.”
Like most clinician/owners, Jason knew how to be a strong therapist, but it wasn’t enough to make the business thrive. More specifically, it didn’t keep his net revenue per visit above his net cost per visit. Luckily, Jason always had a quote from Albert Einstein on speed dial in his mind: “It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer.” This kept him from giving up on his practice and himself. And eventually, knowing it had to be possible and he was willing to put the work in if he just knew where his efforts should be focused, he sought out an expert who could show him how to do things differently.
It wasn’t until Jason Waz put his ego aside and hired Brian Gallagher of MEG Business to be his practice management coach that he would start running his practice more like an Apple store and less like a Radio Shack. Fundamental changes were put in place across operations, personnel, marketing and even his clinical environment.
That’s when his private practice in Tampa began to turn around. Revenue went up while costs went down. Patients started getting comfortable seeing other clinicians at the practice, creating a better work life balance for Jason. Staff started getting more connected to purpose. It was the turning point Jason had been seeking, and it soon gave him the space he needed to lean into the vision that sparked his career as a physical therapist in the first place: To put the care back in healthcare and serve as many patients as possible with the best treatment possible.
To do this, he began seeking out the physical therapy technology and tools that could better achieve the outcomes his patients were seeking – faster and more efficiently. This would lead him first to the NEUBIE, a device that single handedly catapulted his practice into a new world – one that would help him serve more patients than he ever thought possible, and even open additional clinics to serve other communities as a result. From there, his practices became something of a Research & Development lab for additional physical therapy innovations in optimal health care.
And that’s how NeuPTtech was founded – as the result of that R&D. For the last four years, it has grown into a collection of the products, programs, coaching and support that have been proven to help private practice owners become more successful in their clinics by implementing the system of operations and tools that help patients get better as quickly as possible.
Do things faster and more efficiently. NeuPTtech is here to help owners help their patients. Make patients the heroes of their story. We are now working towards our vision of advancing the entire field of physical therapy by improving patient outcomes through innovation and technology.
Since this mission started, we’ve helped 200+ private practices, 2,000+ clinicians and countless patients get educated on how the clinic of the future is right here, right now.
In 2017, Jason’s practice wouldn’t have stood out as a recipe for business success – but after implementing the operational changes and leaning into the technology that has changed patients’ lives, he was named one of the top 100 fastest growing businesses in 2022.
If you’ve found yourself in a place where you don’t quite know what you don’t quite know, we would be honored to discuss the different ways you can be pouring rocket fuel on patient outcomes alongside business results to find true success. Let our past mistakes (and the learnings that resulted) guide you on an easier path to success in business and in life.
Having lived on both ends of the mountain, Jason knows it’s sunnier at the top. He just needed an expert “Sherpa” with the right “climbing gear” to get there.
Are you ready to take the leap from “One Day” to “Day One” like Jason did years ago?
Let’s add the fuel your practice needs to take off.
