PT industry conditions

Great people are leaving the profession.

Patient care is not the problem.

Demand for physical therapy has never been stronger. But the conditions for the people delivering care have not kept up.

Admin

Administrative burden is up.

Charting

Charting follows clinicians home.

Career

Career paths are flat or invisible.

The HRS solution

HRS was built to solve these problems.

What is HRS

Therapist-owned. Therapist-led.

Built differently by design.

Most PT employers fall into one of two categories. They either know how to run a business, or they know how to deliver clinical care. Investor-owned chains have built strong operational systems. Clinical development and clinician growth are rarely the priority. Therapist-owned solo practices deliver great care but struggle with the operational complexity of growing a business.

HRS has perfected both. We are embedded in every practice we partner with, accountable for outcomes, and invested in the long term. Not an investor. Not a franchisor. A true operational and clinical development partner -  with the infrastructure to prove it.

Every company in our group runs on the HRS Operating System, which handles the complexity of running a practice at the group level so clinicians never have to. The problems that consume time and energy elsewhere are already solved before you walk in the door.

Support varies by organization.

Documentation demands can be significant.

Clinical Development

Clinical development is often influenced by operational and business priorities.

Development is typically shaped by system-wide standards and initiatives.

Multiple layers between clinicians and decision-makers.

Direct access, but leadership resources may be limited.

Therapist-owned and therapist-led at every level. The people leading you understand the profession because they have lived it.

Technology & Innovation

Technology adoption varies by organization. Many are slow to evolve.

Resources exist, but change can be slow.

Investment is often limited by budget.

We invest early in technology that helps therapists deliver better care and reclaim time.

Career Growth

Build your life and practice where you actually want with HRS.
It's impossible for one person to keep up on all of that and try to be a clinician, and try to have a family, and juggle all of those aspects of life. That's really the key where HRS comes along beside you and trains you in how to run the business.

Pintler Physical Therapy · Butte, MT
HRS is amazing and I have so much faith that they can get anybody to any point, but that person’s got to be willing to put in the time up front to make it happen.
Laura Winkler
PT in Motion · Billings, MT
If you’re waiting for your finances to be right or your family life to calm down, you’re going to wait for a very long time. You’ll talk yourself out of it. You’ve got to take the risk and jump and know that you’re going to be fine.

Founder story

Built by a PT who

learned the hard way.

Blaine Stimac graduated from the University of Montana with a Master of Physical Therapy and did what most clinicians only dream about -

He launched his own practice immediately after graduation.

Problems solved

What he found was what every entrepreneurial PT finds. An outstanding clinical reputation does not automatically build a thriving practice.

The operational problems were real, complex, and nobody had prepared him for them.

So he committed to solving them, and then to making sure no one else had to solve them alone. That became HRS.

System-focused

HRS is a group built on infrastructure, systems, and clinical development resources.

Not a holding company or management firm

Clinic locations

A company run by clinicians who understand what it takes to practice at the highest level and strive for excellence.

Build something that lasts

A network of practices built on the infrastructure he wished had existed from day one.
