  • start a physical therapy practice

  • make your current physical therapy business more profitable while maintaining quality care


Our goal:

Help physical therapists escape the traditional corporate “burnout” model of PT. Replace the old model (double bookings, low pay, corporate bureaucracy) with smaller, physical therapist-owned clinics that provide sustainable, high-quality one-on-one care.

Sarah opened Arrow Physical Therapy Seattle, an out-of-network physical therapy practice in Seattle, WA, in 2016. Kate founded Outlier Physical Therapy, a hybrid-model clinic (one insurance contract) with two locations in Chicago, IL, in 2017. Since 2019, Sarah and Kate have teamed up to help other physical therapists break away from the corporate, high-volume physical therapy model to start physical therapy clinics that are sustainable, driven by high-quality care, and profitable.

Over 175 physical therapists have now taken Sarah and Kate’s Start Your PT Practice 101 course, with many going on to open their own clinics within a year of taking the course. Kate and Sarah offer private business coaching and teach two online courses for physical therapists looking to start a physical therapy practice or grow an existing practice.

“I reached out to Full Draw Consulting for help with growing my cash PT practice. I am usually a very “I’ll figure it out on my own” sort of person, so seeking out business advice was a huge deal for me. All I can say is that I am extremely happy I did.”
— Dr. Jennifer Sauers, Onsight Movement
“This was the difference between me sitting and thinking about going for my dream, and actually going for it!”
— Dr. Mandy Ma
