Private practice physical therapy owners: learn the KPIs that drive clinic growth, PT marketing ROI, and revenue forecasting. This MBA for the DPT lesson shows PT clinic owners how to track leads, visits per case, and key business metrics that predict success.

Most physical therapists open a clinic without ever learning how to read the business numbers behind it.

In this **MBA for the DPT** episode, Jimmy talks with **Sturdy McKee** about the key performance indicators (KPIs) that successful physical therapy clinic owners use to run smarter businesses.

You’ll learn which numbers actually matter, how to build a simple KPI dashboard, and why one overlooked metric — **leads** — can predict your clinic’s revenue 30–60 days ahead.

Sturdy also explains how to translate data into action so your staff understands what drives results, improves patient outcomes, and creates a healthier practice.

If you run a **private practice physical therapy clinic**, this episode will help you stop guessing and start managing with clarity.
