Who’s to Blame for PT Wages? Matt Huey Lifts the Lid (and the Barbell)

Why are PT wages so low—and more importantly, who’s responsible?
In this episode of the PT Pintcast 6-Pack, we’re joined by Matt Huey, a physical therapist, powerlifter, and healthcare humorist, who isn’t afraid to ask the uncomfortable questions. With five Texas state powerlifting records under his belt and a serious passion for wage transparency, Matt breaks down the forces behind stagnant PT pay—and what we as a profession can do about it.
This one’s for the PTs and PTAs wondering if it’s the APTA, the government, or just us holding the paycheck hostage.
Expect real talk, some laughs, and ideas you haven’t heard before on how to actually shift this conversation—and your income.
