Dr. Jamey Schrier is the founder of The Practice Freedom Method. Prior to creating this breakthrough system, Dr. Schrier was working more than 60 hours a week as a physical therapist, missing his kids’ events, and worrying about making enough money to pay his bills. In 2004, a three-alarm fire burned his practice to the ground. Rather than throw in the towel, Jamey rebuilt his practice, growing it to include multiple locations with a system that allowed it to grow profitably and predictably while reducing the amount of time he spent in patient care.

Recently Dr. Schrier sold his practices for a price often reserved for practices quadruple his size. Today, Jamey spends most of his time training Physical Therapy practice owners how to apply his methodologies through his revolutionary program called The Practice Freedom Method. His unique approach combines sound business principles with best practices that he learned over 20 years in business. Jamey’s true gift is in his ability to accelerate this process for other practice owners in a fun, easy to understand and implement, way.
