on capacity utilization and pricing mix Your initial contribution margin is strong at 860%, but high fixed overhead and staff costs delay profitability This guide outlines seven strategies to hit breakeven by Month 13 (January 2027) by optimizing your service mix, specifically leveraging higher-priced specializations like Neurological PT ($160 per treatment) and Sports PT ($150 per treatment) We will focus on improving therapist utilization rates, which start as low as 500% for Neurological PT, to drive significant revenue uplift without adding substantial fixed
