Rooted Physical Therapy

Long post straight from the heart…💚

I never thought the dream of having a solo PT practice would ever truly come to fruition. I did not think I had the energy, knowledge, or business smarts to make it successful. I knew I had unique skills as a PT and wanted to be able to provide them in my own way, no boss or insurance company to report to. I finally just took a leap of faith… wouldn’t hurt to try, right?

So, I set small goals and expectations. Maybe 2-3 patients, probably friends and family, just a “small side hustle”.

1 year later…48 patients, 336 visits 🥹

Has it been easy? Of course not. I’ve had very few days off, put in lots of 7 day weeks, worked early morning and late evenings, learned hard lessons, spent entirely too much time in my car. Nothing good comes easy though.

Rooted has been more fulfilling and rewarding than any job I’ve had. Partially due to the fact that it’s mine, but it’s also forced me to clean up the other parts of my life. I’ve prioritized my health and wellness now more than ever, so I can show up as the best version of myself for my patients. I can proudly say I’m the healthiest and strongest I’ve been in a very long time, maybe my entire life.

I want to thank every single person who rooted me on (see what I did there?), shared a social media post, wore a t-shirt, told a friend, anything to help support. The small things add up and help so much.

Thank you to my patients who found value in what I provide and put your trust in me and Rooted. Whether previous patient or brand new, each of you laid a brick in the building of this business.

Finally, thank you to my biggest supporter, my husband Aaron. You’ve spent many weekend hours home alone with the dogs, weekday evenings with me holed up in the office, and had to pick up the slack around the house. I notice every time you wear that Rooted shirt to the gym or put business cards in your car to hand out. You’ve always been that steady support and calmness I can count on. I’m so grateful for you!

If you’ve read this far, thank you 🤗 I’m so excited to see how deeper the roots get over the next year!
And remember, support small business!
