Perks You May Not Know You Have as a Therapist
From comfy scrubs to travel deals, we’ve rounded up the best ways for therapists to save on the things that make life a little easier (and a lot more fun).
ID.me: Your Discount Gateway
If you haven’t signed up for ID.me, stop what you’re doing and go do that now. It’s a free verification service that confirms your status as a medical provider—including PTs, PTAs, OTs, COTAs and SLPs—and unlocks exclusive discounts across hundreds of brands. Once you’re verified, you can use your ID.me login across multiple sites without having to re-verify every time. Don’t forget to install the ID.me extension if you use Google Chrome, that way you’ll never miss out on a discount while you shop. Some of our favorite ID.me deals include:
- Adidas – Up to 30% off, perfect for comfy clinic shoes or weekend wear
- YETI – 20% off durable gear for your lunch breaks or outdoor escapes

Whether you're shopping for work essentials or treating yourself to something fun, ID.me makes it easy to save without the hassle.
Join APTA, AOTA, or ASHA for Even More Perks
Professional memberships like the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA), and the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) offer way more than just continuing education and networking—they come packed with valuable discounts and benefits that can make a real difference in your day-to-day life.

Our Favorite Discounts for Therapists
Beyond ID.me and professional memberships, there are plenty of brands that offer direct discounts to healthcare workers—including therapists. These are some of our top picks:
- FIGS – Known for stylish, functional scrubs, FIGS offers 15% off for verified healthcare professionals.
- Therabody – Save on recovery tools like massage guns and compression gear—great for your patients and your own sore muscles.
- Nike – Through SheerID, medical professionals can get 10% off athletic wear and shoes.
- Southwest Airlines – While not therapist-specific, they often offer flexible booking options and deals for healthcare workers.
And don’t forget to check with your employer or clinic—many organizations have employee discount portals or partnerships with local businesses that offer special rates just for staff.
You spend your days helping others live better, stronger, and more independent lives. Taking advantage of these discounts is just one way to make sure you’re taking care of yourself, too. Whether it’s a new pair of scrubs, a weekend getaway, or a little help with dinner prep, these perks are designed to make your life easier—and maybe even a little more fun.
