Today we’d like to introduce you to Juan Paz.
Hi Juan, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
After years of working across small businesses and large healthcare systems, I saw a troubling pattern: care often felt transactional, and people—especially at their most vulnerable—were treated like numbers. As a physical therapist, I’ve met individuals at some of the lowest points in their lives: injured, unable to work, sidelined from the activities they love. What struck me most wasn’t just the pain they carried, but how disconnected they felt from the process meant to help them heal.
That’s why I founded Every Body Physical Therapy.
I began with home visits and virtual consultations, offering flexible care to meet patient needs. As demand grew, I decided to establish a physical location. After searching for the right space, I secured a treatment room within a chiropractic office, where the practice is currently based. This setup allows me to continue providing physical therapy services at home, online, and in a dedicated clinic space—ensuring accessibility and convenience for a wide range of clients.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
I always knew I wanted to open my own physical therapy clinic. But as an immigrant unfamiliar with the U.S. healthcare system, I spent several years working across different organizations to understand the landscape. I was naïve at first—entrepreneurship often looks easy from the outside. The reality hit when I began the process of launching my business while simultaneously navigating my path to citizenship.
Opening accounts, securing insurance credentials, and submitting legal documentation all came with extra steps. Many institutions weren’t familiar with my situation, which made every milestone harder to reach. Community support became essential. That’s why I joined the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and made connections in the community—to learn from other business owners, build relationships, and share resources. Their mentorship helped me turn challenges into momentum.
