the mission
Our founder, Dr. Lauren Clark,
is on a mission to
reinvent the Physical therapy & Performance industry
lcpt inc. offers passionate and ambitious performance based physical therapists, athletic trainers and performance coaches a better path to success.
The journey to work as an elite Performance specialist is a long and arduous path. It often requires years of expensive schooling, limited internship opportunities and hard-fought post-graduate residencies/fellowships. then you start all over working your way up the industry ladder for years & years before maybe, one day, earning the role of your dreams.
for those of you who cannot realistically pursue this path whether due to family, financial or time commitment restrictions - we’re with you. There is a better way to earn opportunities to work with elite athletes (we’ve lived it!). we’re here to show you that path.
For those of you who have already entered professional sports - we understand the hurdles you’ve endured and the sacrifices you’ve made. we’re here to offer you solutions when you’re ready.
burnout is ruining our industry.
It’s why great clinicians switch career paths. Or why prospective clinicians never reach their peak potential. It's why there are so few elite mentors in our industry.
Experienced clinicians in professional sports often don’t have the health, the time or the energy when they leave a career in elite high performance to then spend years mentoring new practitioners or creating solutions for an industry that is driven by front office deals and money that rarely gets cycled back into our future.
Likewise, the most common reason that physical therapists leave the sports medicine profession within the first 10 years of their career is also burnout. therapists often pivot to suboptimal management roles simply because they’re too physically & mentally fatigued after years treating high caseloads.
We spend years cultivating world-class skillsets only to forfeit our own well-being in comparison to the lives we fought so hard to improve along the way.
Dr. Clark is now leading her own company initiative and is creating an environment to help her clients overcome their challenges while making sure clinicians & coaches on her team are happy, healthy and able to make meaningful contributions in their field for years to come.
life at lcpt inc.
life at lcpt inc revolves around uplifting our industry, supporting our elite team and preventing burn-out.
without burnout, there should be no excuse we can’t provide and sustain an extremely high standard of care across all professions.
At lcpt inc, we encourage our clinicians, coaches and partners to continue the path towards gaining valuable experience & education which opens up opportunities to work with elite athletes & high performers.
and to those who are gainfully employed in seasonal work - we value your contributions, even if you’re only available to us in the offseason.
we match each clinician/coach with clients who are seeking their unique skillset but also offer our specialists the opportunity to grow & diversify their career path.
lcpt inc allows you to choose your ideal path & recognizes the value you bring to our community.
why lcpt inc?
Ability to work with elite athletes and dedicated weekend warriors - Clients usually come to us because they want our help & are committed to our process.
Balance - you will never be asked to work for more than 30 hours of direct patient care each week - so you can focus on the other important aspects of your job & life. We will never ask clinicians to prioritize the company over happiness, health, or well-being.
Flexibility - As maverick commmunity expands (our home base) , lcpt inc will have access to multiple gyms across the country and will allow our specialists to work where they enjoy most with flexibility of changing or choosing more than one location.
Tiered employment system - compensation at lcpt inc is tied to your dedication towards your craft. promotions are based on merit and acquired skills, not only how many clients you see per week or who was employed first. We cannot change our industry with complacency - we want to help each team member become 1% better everyday..
Network & MENTORSHIP - we match each team member with a mentor who will build on your particular interests, strengths & weaknesses to help you develop into a well-rounded clinician or coach. lcpt inc has networks with top physical therapists, athletic trainers, performance coaches, speciality/skills coaches, dietitians, sports psychologists, physicians, integrative specialists, current and retired athletes, and other industry leaders. These opportunities for mentorship and collaborations will help you level-up your career and offer the best service to all clients.
Be a part of something bigger than yourself - advocacy for all athletes is at the heart of our mission. as lcpt inc grows, we aim to assist underserved athletes (and those whose industries do not offer equal pay or feasible sponsorship opportunities) in offsetting the cost of quality performance therapy, training and nutrition services.
Unrivaled focus on helping everyone on the lcpt inc team become and stay savagely great clinicians, trainers & coaches.
We’re standing on this soap box and we’re not getting off of it.
We’re not for every client. We’re for the clients who want the best.
We’re not for every clinician. We’re for the clinicians who want to be the best.
We will never sacrifice morals, ethics, patient care, clinician or employee well-being for revenue. We want to provide solutions that can move our industry in a positive direction & we cannot do that if we’re not an example for others.
