The Start-Up Practice Journey with Steven Reinlie DC

Dr. Kevin Christie interviews Dr. Steven Reinlie of Austin, Texas about his path after graduating from Parker in December 2021, working as an associate, and opening his own practice a little over a year ago.

 

Reinlie describes negotiating a revenue-based split that pushed him to develop referral relationships, setting a goal of meeting 40 new contacts, and finding early clinic spaces through connections with personal trainers and other clinicians. He and Christie discuss the realities of practicing inside gyms, emphasizing that gym members are a “floor,” not a complete patient base, and the importance of having a plan to graduate to an independent clinic.

 

 Reinlie explains consolidating locations, moving into a 1300-square-foot space with multiple rooms, hiring his first full-time staff member, and focusing on efficiency, pricing, and reinvestment using profit-first principles. His advice centers on learning relationship-building and closely managing finances, supported by coaching and strong clinical competence.
