Beyond the Treatment Table
Virtual Networking for Physical Therapy Professionals
Beyond the Treatment Table is a virtual networking series hosted by APTA Private Practice that brings physical therapy professionals together for interactive, engaging discussions on topics that extend beyond clinical care. These events provide a space to connect with peers, exchange ideas, and explore the evolving landscape of private practice.
Why It Matters
Success in private practice isn’t just about patient care—it also involves leadership, business strategy, communication, and personal growth. Beyond the Treatment Table focuses on these important areas through thoughtful discussion and idea sharing in a relaxed, supportive setting.
What to Expect
Beyond the Treatment Table Zoom calls are 60 minutes and take place on the fourth Thursday of every month from 1:00–2:00 p.m. Eastern | 10:00–11:00 a.m. Pacific. Each call focuses on a relevant theme and features guided group discussion led by a knowledgeable facilitator. There are no presentations or lectures—just open conversation designed to spark new ideas, encourage collaboration, and strengthen professional connections.
Who Should Attend
These events are open to everyone—members and non-members alike—including practice owners, clinic managers, staff PTs, students, and anyone interested in learning from others in the field.
It’s free to attend, so sign up today and invite a friend!
