A lot of times we discuss the "ceiling" of being a PTA. It's not that we can't do more, but that if we do, it involves a bridge program or an advanced proficiency pathway. Kim offers the bridge between what PT offers and the wellness system. Want to do 1 on 1 care? Curious on what it takes to open up your own wellness clinic? Kim talks to us about how it can be done and the opportunities you will have as a PTA.
 
As always we greatly appreciate each and every one of you. Thank you so much for listening and it means the world to us if you like and share.
