From Burnout to Freedom
Karen shares how she rebuilt her practice into part-time hours with no staff and no insurance hassles, and how the same structured approach produces predictable patient outcomes.
Questions to ask Karen.
Pulled from her recent interview. Use them as-is, or as a starting point.
- Why did you become a PT, and what pushed you to open your own practice?
- You opened your clinic to give better service, not to be a business owner. What was missing in how other clinics operated?
- Were you pulled into the insurance model early on, or did you do things differently from the start?
- What was the first shift you made that started you on the new path?
- What does the Freedom From Back Pain program look like now that it is packaged?
- You feared losing patients if you dropped insurance work. What actually happened?
- You made a deliberate decision not to hire staff. Why?
- You have built a profitable, low-stress practice on your own terms. How?
- What do you see clinic owners still doing that quietly holds them back?
- After all these years, what are you most proud of?
- Where can people get your resources and learn to implement this?
If we don't fix the mechanics, everything we do to relieve the symptoms is temporary. Even surgery.
A clinician still in practice, teaching what actually worked.
Karen DeSimone has practiced physical therapy for 26 years. She earned her Doctor of Physical Therapy from the MGH Institute of Health Professions, began her career at Massachusetts General Hospital, and opened KD360 Wellness & Physical Therapy in 2009, where she still practices today.
For years she billed insurance and watched reimbursements shrink while documentation grew, working harder each year for the same revenue. So she built a different system, and now teaches other clinic owners to do the same.
