Why do so many pelvic rehab clinicians love treating patients… but feel frustrated with their jobs?

In this episode, we dig into the results from our State of Pelvic Rehab Survey and talk about three things every pelvic PT and OT employee should be advocating for in their workplace.

The data was eye-opening.

67% of clinicians are doing unpaid documentation.

That means many rehab providers are literally working for free so their employer can be reimbursed by insurance.

We also found that 79% of clinicians don’t have a regular clinical mentor, and 74% receive no paid mentorship time in their job.

At the same time, most clinicians also report very small continuing education budgets.

You can’t grow without support — which means you should have either strong mentorship or a meaningful con-ed budget.

And then there’s raises.

The average raise reported in our survey was just 1.8%.

Nearly 81% of clinicians received raises of 3% or less, which means many pelvic rehab providers are effectively taking a pay cut every year after inflation.

In this episode we break down three things every employee deserves — and give scripts you can use to advocate for yourself professionally and respectfully.

Pick one.

Start the conversation.

And see what kind of workplace you’re really in.
