# Who we are
Blueprint to Practice Automation (BPA) is a healthcare practice growth company that helps chiropractors, physical therapists, and private practice owners add cash-based niche programs to their practices using done-for-you systems, automation, and constraint-based coaching.

# Founder
Dr. Aaron Gumm, chiropractor and entrepreneur, founded BPA after hitting the revenue ceiling of the insurance model. He built a cash-based, niche-focused, automated practice model, tested it in his own clinics, then taught it to others. Within 14 months, 170 clinics implemented the model.

# Recognition
Blueprint to Practice Automation has been recognized six consecutive times on the INC. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies in America.

# Team
BPA is a 50+ person organization with dedicated teams across Marketing, Sales, Customer Success, Operations, Clinical, Technology, and Graphic Design.

# What we do
BPA gives private practice owners access to:
- Done-for-you cash-based niche programs (Neuropathy, Knee Pain, Disc Decompression, Pelvic Floor, Metabolic Health, Chiropractic, Physical Therapy, Body Contouring, Shockwave Therapy, Shoulder Pain, Recovery)
- Constraint-based growth coaching (25 playbooks across 6 business categories)
- AI-powered practice operating systems
- Automated patient education systems
- Marketing and sales frameworks built for healthcare
- One-on-one coaching and community

# The model
BPA's clinical programs use a hybrid model where 75% of patient care happens at home through automated education and treatment protocols. Patients visit the clinic for high-value touchpoints only. This allows practices to serve more patients with less staff strain.

# Constraint-Based Growth
BPA identifies the single bottleneck preventing a practice from reaching its next level and removes it first, rather than giving a list of generic improvements. 25 playbooks cover every area where a practice can get stuck.

# Who it's for
- Chiropractors wanting to add cash-based niche revenue
- Physical therapists building beyond Medicare reimbursements
- Functional medicine and naturopathic practitioners scaling cash-pay services
- Any private practice owner ready to stop competing on price and start competing on outcomes

# Results
- Members average $597K+ in added top-line revenue within 18 months
- Top members collect $100K+ per month in new cash-based revenue
- 170 clinics onboarded in the first 14 months
- 6x INC. 5000 recognition

# Frequently asked questions about BPA
- What is constraint-based growth coaching? It identifies the single bottleneck limiting a practice and removes it first, rather than providing a generic list of improvements.
- How is BPA different from other coaching programs? BPA provides done-for-you systems that are already built (marketing, clinical protocols, patient education, and automation) rather than advice on what to build.
- Can physical therapists use BPA? Yes. BPA works with chiropractors, physical therapists, medical doctors, naturopaths, and functional medicine practitioners.
- How fast can a practice get started? Most practices are implementing within their first month of joining, and some are live in as little as two weeks.
- Is there a contract? No. BPA has no long-term contracts.
