We\u2019ve all been there before, we remember what it is like to be nervous about performing well and impressing your new boss and workplace. We understand your nerves and apprehension, and this article has been written with you in mind. As a health professional myself, and as part of&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.clinicmastery.com\/\">Clinic Mastery<\/a>, we work exclusively with private practice owners who regularly employ new graduate physiotherapists and advise them on how to best nurture their team. With some insights from other health professionals and clinic owners, the following tips will position you to excel in your new role!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>What Employers Will Expect From You<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s be clear. Private Practices are small businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That means the practice gets paid for seeing and serving clients. If you aren\u2019t seeing enough clients, it puts a financial strain on the small business.<br>That makes it harder for them to pay you, the admin, cover the cost of other expenses, and have money to invest in new equipment to help clients, update your training, to market and attract more clients, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the public sector, there are big budgets and volumes of money so the number of clients you need to see tends to be less and the appointment times tend to be much longer\u2026<br>That\u2019s not to say the primary focus is on making money\u2026 It just means that in private practice we need to be efficient and effective in how we help people get better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jack O&#8217;Brien from Terrace Physio Plus says \u201c<em>Clients are paying for your services. You are no longer a student voluntarily helping people out of obligation \u2013 you are of huge value to your clients. Value yourself!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make note of this: The primary objective of a private practice owner is that you will Fill Your Appointment Books and Deliver Great Outcomes to those Clients.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"quote-with-background\" style=\"\">\n    <div class=\"quote-with-background__in\">\n\n        <svg width=\"30px\" height=\"25px\" viewBox=\"0 0 30 25\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\">\n            <g id=\"Design\" stroke=\"none\" stroke-width=\"1\" fill=\"none\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\">\n                <g id=\"08-blog-redesign\" transform=\"translate(-191.000000, -2974.000000)\" fill=\"#7973FF\" fill-rule=\"nonzero\">\n                    <g id=\"Group-7\" transform=\"translate(80.000000, 2893.000000)\">\n                        <g id=\"\u201c\" transform=\"translate(111.000000, 81.000000)\">\n                            <path d=\"M6.4,25 C4.42666667,25 2.86666667,24.3743344 1.72,23.1230032 C0.573333333,21.871672 0,20.2609159 0,18.2907348 C0,17.2790202 0.173333333,16.2539936 0.52,15.215655 C0.866666667,14.1773163 1.49333333,12.513312 2.4,10.2236422 L6.48,0 L12.8,0 L10,12.5399361 C11.9733333,14.0841321 12.96,16.001065 12.96,18.2907348 C12.96,20.2076677 12.3466667,21.8051118 11.12,23.0830671 C9.89333333,24.3610224 8.32,25 6.4,25 Z M23.44,25 C21.4666667,25 19.9066667,24.3743344 18.76,23.1230032 C17.6133333,21.871672 17.04,20.2609159 17.04,18.2907348 C17.04,17.2790202 17.2133333,16.2539936 17.56,15.215655 C17.9066667,14.1773163 18.5333333,12.513312 19.44,10.2236422 L23.52,0 L29.84,0 L27.04,12.5399361 C29.0133333,14.0841321 30,16.001065 30,18.2907348 C30,20.2076677 29.3866667,21.8051118 28.16,23.0830671 C26.9333333,24.3610224 25.36,25 23.44,25 Z\" id=\"Shape\"><\/path>\n                        <\/g>\n                    <\/g>\n                <\/g>\n            <\/g>\n        <\/svg>\n       <div class=\"quote-with-background__content heading-three\">\n            <p class=\"heading-four\">The primary objective of a private practice owner is that you will Fill Your Appointment Books and Deliver Great Outcomes to those Clients<\/p>\n       <\/div>\n       <div class=\"quote-with-background__info\">\n                   <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<!--    <div class=\"quote-with-background__background\">-->\n<!--        <svg width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" viewBox=\"0 0 849 447\" version=\"1.1\" preserveAspectRatio=none xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\">-->\n<!--            <g id=\"Design\" stroke=\"none\" stroke-width=\"1\" fill=\"none\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\">-->\n<!--                <g id=\"08-blog-redesign\" transform=\"translate(-80.000000, -2893.000000)\" fill=\"#F1F5FD\">-->\n<!--                    <g id=\"Group-7\" transform=\"translate(80.000000, 2893.000000)\">-->\n<!--                        <polygon id=\"Rectangle\" transform=\"translate(424.500000, 223.500000) scale(-1, 1) translate(-424.500000, -223.500000) \" points=\"0 99.703192 849 -4.43831367e-13 849 347.296808 0 447\"><\/polygon>-->\n<!--                    <\/g>-->\n<!--                <\/g>-->\n<!--            <\/g>-->\n<!--        <\/svg>-->\n<!--    <\/div>-->\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>How to Accelerate Your Physiotherapy Career<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a break down here are the elements involved and what you can do to succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Deliver consecutive appointments on time, every time.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How to address:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You must be deliberate about the Structure of your Appointment. Think of it like a bell curve, you must ease into the treatment with rapport-building conversation first, then you must help the client with therapy and then ease toward completion and closure without rushing the patient. To help, make some key dot points about what you say and do during your consultation so that you deliver consistent, high-quality messages to your clients every time. P.S. You don\u2019t have to do everything in one consult! You\u2019ll actually confuse the patient if you do that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Attract New Clients into Your Appointment Book<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How to address:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask your current clients for a referral. For those clients that you help and make a positive difference for, you should ask them if they know someone who has a similar problem to them (people love to talk in groups about their problems) and who might benefit from your help. Ask them to refer the person who has mentioned their problem in discussions. The key to asking is to ask specifically e.g. \u201cDo you know someone who is also having trouble with their knee or trouble playing tennis because of their knee etc\u201d. It helps the clients recall with greater ease.<br>(Comment Physiotutors: Consider registering as a therapist at <a href=\"https:\/\/yourphysio.online\/\">yourphysio.online<\/a> or with your practice at pages like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hierhebikpijn.nl\/\">hierhebikpijn.nl<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.physiocheck.co.uk\/\">physiocheck.co.uk<\/a> who will forward clients to your practice):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meet referral partners and create relationships. Jack O\u2019Brien from Terrace Physio Plus says \u201c<em>Use non-clinical time effectively! Employers hate to see wasted time. Invest that time in nurturing relationships with referrers and clients<\/em>\u201d. Networking is playing the long game. Don\u2019t expect quick wins, because like any relationship, if you are selfish in trying to immediately \u2018get something\u2019 like more clients into your diary, you will not succeed. Go and meet the local referrers that already exist at your clinic and find out why they refer to your clinic and how you can help them by adding value. (see this article for more on adding value). The best thing to do is ask to observe them for a couple of hours in the clinic to see how they work so that you can refer more clients to them and also build a relationship built on the personal connection during that time.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"quote-with-background\" style=\"\">\n    <div class=\"quote-with-background__in\">\n\n        <svg width=\"30px\" height=\"25px\" viewBox=\"0 0 30 25\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\">\n            <g id=\"Design\" stroke=\"none\" stroke-width=\"1\" fill=\"none\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\">\n                <g id=\"08-blog-redesign\" transform=\"translate(-191.000000, -2974.000000)\" fill=\"#7973FF\" fill-rule=\"nonzero\">\n                    <g id=\"Group-7\" transform=\"translate(80.000000, 2893.000000)\">\n                        <g id=\"\u201c\" transform=\"translate(111.000000, 81.000000)\">\n                            <path d=\"M6.4,25 C4.42666667,25 2.86666667,24.3743344 1.72,23.1230032 C0.573333333,21.871672 0,20.2609159 0,18.2907348 C0,17.2790202 0.173333333,16.2539936 0.52,15.215655 C0.866666667,14.1773163 1.49333333,12.513312 2.4,10.2236422 L6.48,0 L12.8,0 L10,12.5399361 C11.9733333,14.0841321 12.96,16.001065 12.96,18.2907348 C12.96,20.2076677 12.3466667,21.8051118 11.12,23.0830671 C9.89333333,24.3610224 8.32,25 6.4,25 Z M23.44,25 C21.4666667,25 19.9066667,24.3743344 18.76,23.1230032 C17.6133333,21.871672 17.04,20.2609159 17.04,18.2907348 C17.04,17.2790202 17.2133333,16.2539936 17.56,15.215655 C17.9066667,14.1773163 18.5333333,12.513312 19.44,10.2236422 L23.52,0 L29.84,0 L27.04,12.5399361 C29.0133333,14.0841321 30,16.001065 30,18.2907348 C30,20.2076677 29.3866667,21.8051118 28.16,23.0830671 C26.9333333,24.3610224 25.36,25 23.44,25 Z\" id=\"Shape\"><\/path>\n                        <\/g>\n                    <\/g>\n                <\/g>\n            <\/g>\n        <\/svg>\n       <div class=\"quote-with-background__content heading-three\">\n            <p class=\"heading-four\">Use non-clinical time effectively!

Jack O\u2019Brien from Terrace Physio Plus says \u201cGenerally, new professionals are guilty of under-servicing, not over-servicing\u201d. So, make sure you have a detailed plan about the appointments required and exercises to be done in the following 6-8 weeks. Be specific! This will help clients follow through on the plan and get the best outcome. Best to have a verbal and one-page written plan to give to every client at the end of their appointment (See this video series about how we do it in under 2 minutes). Michael Rizk from Imove Physiotherapy says \u201c<em>The subsequent follow-up appointments allow: You to check with your team and mentors about the condition. You can implement one key focus each time for better compliance.

Be clear with what you say and keep it really simple and easy to follow through for the client. Don\u2019t try to do everything in one day, one consult, or one week\u2026That\u2019s why you need a step-by-step plan for them to follow. Michael Rizk from Imove Physiotherapy says \u201cThis gives GREAT client engagement, creates GREAT compliance, ADDs real value,<em> and also keeps the client enrolled and returning, they don\u2019t fall through the cracks<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Offer &amp; Use the Best Products, Services, and Self-Help Methods<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How to address:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Offer your best recommendation of Products &amp; Services &amp; Self-Help, every time. It is your fiduciary obligation to be the trusted advisor for every client\u2026treat them as if they were your family. Jack O\u2019Brien from Terrace Physio Plus says \u201c<em>It is not your job to judge whether a client can afford it or not\u2026 recommend best practice care first, and let patients decide if it is a priority to invest in that. Don\u2019t judge their looks, health insurance (or lack of), etc<\/em>\u201d You can always tailor your recommendation to their \u2018logistics\u2019, but only once you have advised on the best (guided by assessment and ethical intervention) recommendation plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Create Content to become an Authority. Use your ongoing professional development training to help you write and record content that could also serve as helpful educational pieces for clients in their care. This can be used for marketing purposes to attract clients, or as client resources to help them take care of themselves. Use the training that you have to do anyway to write blogs, record videos or produce handouts. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Michael Rizk from Imove Physiotherapy says \u201c<em>It can be as easy whipping out your phone when you are reading a journal, a Facebook post or talking to another practitioner about a tough case\u2026 document don\u2019t create as Gary Vaynerchuk would say<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>How To Find &amp; Get Help From Mentors<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Get Guidance from a Senior Practitioner<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How to address: Get a mentor to meet with regularly to ask professional and career questions. A great mentor of mine once said, it\u2019s not about the \u2018Years of Experience\u2019, rather it\u2019s about \u2018Experience in those Years\u2019. The best way to handle that is to get a mentor who can distill their wisdom and experience to you. The best way to get a mentor is to email or call someone who is an authority, an expert, or a leader in an area of your interest. Offer to either, buy them a nice lunch, take them out for coffee or observe them in practice for a couple of hours to start the relationship and highlight your hunger to learn and also be a source of value to them e.g could produce some content for them or facilitate some in house training or if you have other professionals, sports clubs or businesses, etc you could connect them with, it will help them. Everyone\u2019s always thinking about what\u2019s in it for me. So you should think about how you could add value, it may just be to buy them lunch, but we suggest you get creative.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"cta\" style=\"\">\n    <div class=\"cta__in\">\n        <div class=\"left\">\n            <div class=\"cta__content text-color-light\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"own-size\">Orthopedic Physiotherapy of the Spine<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t                <p>Boost Your Knowledge about the 23 Most Common Orthopedic Pathologies in Just 40 Hours Without Spending A Fortune on CPD Courses<\/p>\n                                        <div class=\"cta__button\">\n                                <a href=\"https:\/\/study.physiotutors.com\/course\/orthopedic-physical-assessment\/\" class=\"button button-five\" target=\"_self\">\n                                    Learn More                                <\/a>\n                            <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n                        <div class=\"right\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.physiotutors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Extremity-course-mockup-full.png\" alt=\"\"\/>\n                <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Get Guidance from Peers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How to address: Join online groups and discussion forums to ask questions. Some of the best lead generation sources to find a mentor or support networks are online. Facebook is a breeding ground for active, engaged, and sharing professionals. Join a local physio group on Facebook and engage with content and users.
