The PelviBiz Podcast is hosted by Dr. Kelly Alhooie — pelvic health DPT, founder of OrthoPelvic Physical Therapy, and creator of the LSR Method. Kelly spent 15 years in the clinic building what most practitioners only dream about: a 7-figure cash-based practice she built from scratch and sold on her own terms. Now she goes all in every week on what it actually takes for healthcare providers — especially women — to build profitable, scalable practices without sacrificing their lives to do it. Business systems, marketing, mindset, cash-pay strategy, and real talk from someone who has already done it all. New episodes every week.

The 90-Day Cash-Based Pivot: What Nobody Tells You Before You Quit Insurance
The cash-based pivot sounds clean from the outside. You stop billing insurance, you raise your rates, you take control of your schedule. Simple.What nobody tells you is what the middle looks like.The week your in-network referral sources go quiet and you wonder if you made a mistake. The patient who pushes back on your new rate and you feel the urge to discount. The 47th day when the cash caseload isn't full yet and the old panel is thinning and you're doing math on a napkin at 11pm trying to figure out if this is working.That's the part of the pivot nobody coaches you through. Until now.In this episode, Kelly walks through the full 90-day cash-based pivot — not the highlight reel, but the actual playbook. Days 1-30: pricing, positioning, and the one patient conversation you have to have before you change anything. Days 31-60: stopping new in-network referrals without destroying your referral relationships. Days 61-90: letting the panel die through attrition while the cash caseload fills the gap.And the part nobody puts in the webinar — the emotional and financial realities of the middle 30 days, and why that's exactly when most providers turn back.By the end of this episode, you'll have the full 90-day map — and you'll know what to expect when it gets hard.KEY TAKEAWAYSThe cash pivot fails in the first 30 days when providers skip the pricing and positioning work before they stop taking new in-network patientsDays 31-60 are the hardest — not because the model doesn't work, but because the old panel is thinning before the cash caseload is fullAt $250/visit on a lighter schedule, the math works out better than most providers expect — but you have to get through day 47 first

Why Your Pelvic Practice Isn't Growing (And It's Not Your Clinical Skills)
You're two, three, maybe five years into practice. Your patients get results. Your reviews are solid. And yet — the schedule fills and empties in waves, the income plateaus, and you can't figure out why working harder isn't moving the needle.Here's what nobody told you in your DPT program: growth isn't a clinical problem. It's a structural one. And most pelvic health providers spend years trying to out-skill a business problem they were never trained to see.In this episode, Kelly breaks down the real reasons pelvic practices plateau — the referral trap that keeps you dependent on other providers, the pricing structure silently capping your income, and the positioning gap that makes your practice invisible to the exact patients you built it for.This isn't about working harder or adding more certifications. It's about the four structural bottlenecks that separate the practices growing past $20K months from the ones stuck in the feast-and-famine cycle — and the diagnostic Kelly uses with PelviBiz clients to find the break in under 20 minutes.By the end of this episode, you'll know exactly which bottleneck is holding your practice back — and what to fix first.KEY TAKEAWAYSDoing good clinical work is not a growth strategy — referral dependency, pricing, and positioning are business problems that require business solutionsA practice that fills and empties in waves has a structural problem, not a marketing problemThe diagnostic question every plateaued pelvic PT needs to answer before adding more con-ed, more services, or more hours

You're Still Billing Insurance. Here's Why That Needs to Change.
Most pelvic health providers already know the math isn't working. They feel it in the evenings — charting after their last patient, watching reimbursements shrink while their student loans don't. They know. They just don't know when leaving becomes the right call.This episode breaks down the 5 signs you've already outgrown the in-network model — and what those signs actually mean for your income, your autonomy, and the care you're able to deliver. Not the theory of going cash-based. The specific signals that tell you the window is open.We're talking about the provider whose schedule is maxed out but still isn't profitable. The one turning down complex cases because insurance won't cover the time they need. The one whose documentation hours now exceed her patient hours. The one whose best clinical outcomes — the ones she's most proud of — happened entirely outside a billing code.If any of those hit close, this episode is for you.By the end, you'll know exactly where you stand — and what your next move looks like.KEY TAKEAWAYSA full schedule is not the same as a profitable practice — and the difference lives in your billing modelDeclining cases because of insurance limitations is a sign your model has outgrown your payer mixThe providers scaling to $30K-$80K cash months didn't wait until it felt safe — they left when the math stopped working

How Local Networking Grows a Healthcare Private Practice
For many healthcare providers, growing a private practice can feel like a constant search for new patients. While digital marketing strategies such as social media, search engine optimization, and online advertising often receive the most attention, one of the most powerful and underutilized growth strategies is local networking.In this episode of the PelviBiz Podcast, Dr. Kelly Alhooie discusses how local networking and community relationships can significantly grow a healthcare private practice.Healthcare businesses thrive when they become visible and trusted within their local communities. By building meaningful relationships with other professionals, community organizations, and local businesses, healthcare providers can create consistent referral opportunities and long-term patient trust.Local networking allows healthcare providers to connect with professionals who already serve the same population. These may include fitness professionals, chiropractors, physicians, doulas, massage therapists, yoga instructors, personal trainers, wellness clinics, and community health organizations.When these relationships are built authentically, they create a network of professionals who refer patients to one another because they share a common goal: helping people improve their health and wellbeing.For many physical therapists, pelvic health providers, chiropractors, and healthcare entrepreneurs, networking can feel uncomfortable at first. However, learning how to engage with your local community is one of the most effective ways to build awareness and establish your practice as a trusted resource.Local networking strategies may include community workshops, educational presentations, partnerships with gyms or wellness centers, collaborations with other healthcare providers, and participation in local business events.These activities not only increase visibility but also help position healthcare providers as leaders in their field.One of the most powerful aspects of local networking is that it builds trust over time. When community members repeatedly see a provider educating, supporting, and engaging with the community, that provider becomes the first person people think of when they need care.This episode explores practical ways healthcare providers can use community engagement, professional networking, and strategic partnerships to create sustainable growth for their private practices.If you are a physical therapist, pelvic health provider, chiropractor, healthcare entrepreneur, or private practice owner, understanding how to build strong community relationships can become one of the most valuable growth strategies for your business.In This Episode We Discuss• Why local networking is powerful for private practice growth • How healthcare providers build strong community relationships • Types of professionals to network with in your community • How workshops and community education increase patient awareness • Why trust and visibility drive patient referrals • How partnerships with gyms and wellness centers support patient growth • Strategies for becoming a recognized healthcare resource in your communityAbout PelviBizPelviBiz is a healthcare business coaching platform designed to help physical therapists, pelvic health providers, chiropractors, and healthcare entrepreneurs grow profitable private practices.PelviBiz teaches healthcare providers how to build sustainable businesses through marketing systems, leadership development, patient acquisition strategies, and private practice growth systems.Through coaching, systems, and community support, PelviBiz helps healthcare entrepreneurs:• grow successful private practices • improve clinic visibility and patient acquisition • build systems that support healthcare business growth • develop leadership and communication skills • transition from clinician to confident healthcare CEOLearn More About PelviBizhttps://pelvibiz.comJoin the Power Circlehttps://pelvibiz.com/power-circleTopics Covered local networking healthcare business private practice marketing community networking for healthcare providers physical therapy patient acquisition pelvic health practice marketing healthcare referral relationships private practice growth strategies healthcare entrepreneurship
