What is the story behind your business?

I started this company back in 2020 amidst Covid. I was a Traveling Physical Therapist in early 2020 when Covid hit the contracts around the country started to disappear until I could no longer find work. I then bought a portable treatment table and some therapy bands and equipment, started Lodestar Physical Therapy as a mobile concierge service. It slowly began to grow until I opened my brick and mortar location in July 2023.
I am the first person in my family to go to graduate school and the only one in my family to have started and own a business. The biggest difficulty in starting this Physical Therapy practice has been running it as an out-of-network practice or a “cash based” practice as it is commonly called. This “Cash Based” model allows more time for the patient to be with the doctor of physical therapy and have a very clear idea of the cost and time frame of their care. This paradigm shift of not having to go through insurance has been a hard ideology to navigate.

Tell a story about a great customer experience.

The words from a patient, “Isaac, knows his stuff when it comes to finding the root cause. I was told to get surgery by a foot doctor stating I had plantar fasciitis, which it which turned out to be a back issue. Isaac was able to find the issue which constantly made me limp. Now as I’m strengthening it, after getting it evaluated, I’m able to not limp and my left leg is becoming stronger to the point that I can wear sandals again.”

Explain why a customer should consider your business instead of going to a competitor.
