Short company description:
OncoPelvic PT is a concierge pelvic health and oncology rehabilitation practice based in Jacksonville, Florida, led by Dr, Alex Hill, PT, DPT. In addition to one-on-one clinical care, Alex creates evidence-based educational content across social media and has developed continuing education courses to help rehab clinicians better serve patients with cancer and pelvic health conditions.
How has your business changed in the past 12 months?
Expanded from online content creation and continuing education courses to opening a concierge pelvic health and oncology rehabilitation practice in Jacksonville, FL, offering both in-person and telehealth care.
Describe a Failure in your Career.
I launched a merchandise line for OncoPelvic PT with the goal of donating a portion of proceeds to nonprofits aligned with our mission. After two years of losses, I made the decision to shut it down. It taught me that passion-driven ideas still require a sustainable business model and that knowing when to cut your losses is its own kind of success.
What about your company makes you the most proud?
What makes me most proud is taking a leap of faith to open my own practice after 12 years in hospital systems, to offer highly specialized care in pelvic health, oncology rehabilitation, and gender-affirming rehab. The concierge model lets me show up fully for every patient and provide truly individualized, top-of-scope care, and through social media and continuing education I’ve developed, I’m able to reach people around the world to advance knowledge and access to this care.
How do you motivate people to give their best?
I lead with motivational interviewing and meeting people where they are from day one, which helps patients genuinely invest in their rehab and the lifestyle changes that optimize their outcomes. As a provider, my job isn’t to tell people what to do but to walk alongside them toward their goals and adapt as things evolve.
