February 23, 2010 - PTLinked™ Online Directory of Physical Therapists Creates Buzz at 2010 APTA Combined Sections Meeting in San Diego with over 600 Attendees Registering.

SAN DIEGO. Much of the buzz at the recently attended APTA Combined Sections Meeting in San Diego was about promoting direct access to Physical Therapists (PTs) and establishing new revenue streams for PT practices. At the center of this excitement was the launch of a new online directory of physical therapists that provides high visibility on the web and connects PTs to tens of thousands of patients.  The interest was enormous based on a long line of attendees waiting to register for their listing in PTLinked (www.PTLinked.com).

“We registered over 600 attendees during exhibit hours. That’s nearly one per minute, so we were very busy,” reported Shawn Rankin, President and CEO of PERFECT fit Health, the developer of PTLinked. “A listing in PTLinked is a powerful new tool to help promote the availability of direct access and make PTs highly visible to everyone in their practice area who is searching the web for a physical therapist or help with a medical condition a PT can treat.”

A common question among attendees was: How will PTLinked attract visitors from throughout the country? “Using its innovative Kinetic Technology, the new directory will establish high visibility on the web by creating and managing thousands of targeted landing pages, each optimized for a high search engine ranking for a specific search term,” said Gary Lindberg, Chief Strategy Officer. “Together with traditional marketing, a high level of PR, and referrals through the online directory, we expect our targeted marketing efforts to deliver thousands of qualified prospects to our registered PTs”

Available as a robust upgrade to the directory listing is My PT Practice™. This is a full-blown integrated website for each PT that is fully customizable. My PT Practice hosts many useful features such as an online exercise prescription system that showcases over 1,000 exercise animations; a comprehensive exercise and injury content management system; an online store with payment gateway; online scheduling capabilities; even health club and fitness center discount programs.

“The My PT Practice upgrade provides for numerous incremental revenue streams,” said Rankin. PTs will find that patients will be willing to pay modest amounts for exercise prescriptions sent online and for online consultations. Some PTs will earn additional revenues through our affiliations with fitness clubs. And the bulk of the profits from the online store go directly to the physical therapist.”

PTLinked is scheduled to launch publicly in early March, 2010. Free listings are available now at www.PTLinked.com.
