Great clinicians don’t just look harder, they look smarter.

In this session with Imani, we’re sharpening one of the most underrated clinical skills:
spotting the small clues that tell you the real story.

When a patient bends their knee during a calf raise?
That’s not “poor technique.”
That’s the soleus stepping in to protect the gastro
a protective strategy by the brain that most therapists miss.

These micro-clues are what separate guesswork from confident decision-making.
And as a clinic owner, it’s your responsibility to train your team to see them.

Because when your therapists learn to read the body like this,
their assessments get clearer,
their treatments get more targeted,
and your clinic’s results become predictable, not accidental.

This is how you turn new grads into world-class clinicians.
One pattern. One clue. One teaching moment at a time.

You can’t expect world-class results from your team if you don’t offer in world-class coaching.

In this session, we worked with Imani, our new grad physio, to sharpen her hands-on techniques, focusing specifically on the Peroneus Brevis.

Because as a clinic owner, it’s not just your job to hire well
it’s your job to develop well.

Even the best clinical systems mean little if your team’s practical skills fall behind.
That’s why consistent training matters, it keeps therapists confident, competent, and ready to handle complex cases with clarity.

When your team can combine strong reasoning with skilled hands,
patients don’t just get better, they stay better.

That’s how you build a clinic that grows through reputation, not reaction.

Clinical reasoning isn’t taught once, it’s built daily.

New grads don’t struggle because they lack passion.
They struggle because they’ve never been given a clear framework to think through what’s in front of them.

In this clip, we’re focusing on sharpening that skill with Imani.

Because when a therapist can confidently link cause to effect
their assessments become faster
their treatment becomes clearer
and their patients trust them completely

That’s the foundation every new grad needs
Not just techniques… but thinking systems that make great decisions repeatable.

Keep their reasoning sharp,
and you’ll keep your clinic’s results world-class.

In the treatment room, and in clinic growth, it’s easy to get distracted by the small wins.

But here’s the truth:
If the goal doesn’t serve your bigger vision, it’s just noise.

This is intregally important to my clinic, which is why I wanted to make sure the whole team is aligned through this presentation.

The most successful clinic owners aren’t the ones doing more
They’re the ones doing what matters most.

Every decision, every hire, every system should move you closer to freedom,
not further into the day-to-day grind.

So ask yourself:
Are you working toward growth…
or just keeping yourself busy?

Stay focused on the bigger goal.

You don’t build great physios by giving answers, you build them by teaching how to find answers.

In this clip, Dave talks with Molly about the process of problem-solving
how to think, not just what to think.

Because when your physios can reason, question, and connect the dots themselves,
they stop relying on guesswork
and start delivering predictable results.

That’s the real goal of leadership inside a clinic
to create therapists who can handle complex cases with clarity and confidence,
even when you’re not in the room.

It’s not about memorising protocols.
It’s about mastering the way you think.

That’s how you turn knowledge into clinical confidence.

In this clip, Dave walks Imani through why sometimes the key to unlocking knee pain sits all the way down at the big toe.

Because when you see limited knee range, it’s easy to get tunnel vision and to treat the joint that hurts.

But when the toe can’t extend properly, it changes how the entire lower limb loads
And the knee ends up paying the price.

That’s why real clinical reasoning goes beyond the site of pain.
It’s about understanding the chain reaction , how one small restriction can impact movement everywhere else.

And clinical reasoning can be taught and trained, and partnering that with the physios personality can make for amazing treatment and experiences.

When your team can think this way, patients don’t just leave pain-free, they take one more step to thoughtless, fearless movement.

New grads aren’t a risk, they’re a reflection of your systems.

Most clinic owners avoid hiring them because they fear:
❌ Constant hand-holding
❌ Inconsistent treatment quality
❌ “They’ll need years before they add value”

But here’s the truth:

When you’ve got a clear clinical and communication framework, a new grad doesn’t need to “find their feet.”

They follow a proven structure that guides their thinking, builds confidence fast, and delivers consistent and ethical results

That’s exactly how I’ve done it inside our clinic.

We’ve taken new grads and turned them into trusted, confident therapists patients love, and not through luck, but through systems.

It’s not about experience.
It’s about environment.

The notes tell you what happened
but they don’t tell you how it happened

In this clip, Dave gives Imani, a newly graduated physio, some valuable information on receiving a patient from a colleague.

Because while the handover notes might list the injury history.
It is best to hear it from the patient themselves.

Those conversations is where trust grows.
It’s where the patient’s fears, beliefs, and expectations are revealed.
Because without it, you’re just treating reactive symptoms and not the root issue.

Once that has been established, a treatment plan can be created that is crafted for that particular patient.
To get them closer to pain relief, and further pushing past that
To thoughtless, fearless movement and full recovery

I wrote a book called Happy Progressing Patients, which gives you the 8-Step ‘World Cup’ treatment plan that helped my private patients achieve full recovery and made me a ‘Go-To’ Physio for complex cases.

To learn more, DM me or leave a comment with the word 'Book' and I'll send you the link
So you too can create unique treatment plans for every patient that walks through the door of your clinic.

Confidence isn’t built from luck — it’s built from clarity.

When you understand the Go-To Systems, every decision, every assessment, every treatment… starts to make sense.

You stop second-guessing.
You stop chasing the next shiny course.
You start trusting your process.

Because confidence doesn’t come from knowing everything —
It comes from knowing exactly what to do next, no matter the case in front of you.

That’s what the Go-To Systems give you —
A clear, structured framework that turns uncertainty into certainty…
And therapists into trusted professionals patients rave about.

DM me 'Clinic' to start implementing the Go-To systems and start regaining confidence in your practice.

Most physios discharge too early.

Pain-free isn’t the finish line.

Your real job starts after the pain drops to 0/10 — when the goal shifts from relief to resilience.

Because true transformation isn’t about what you do with your hands.
It’s about how you make people feel about their body — and their future.

👎 Patient A gets discharged pain-free but cautious.
They still avoid golf weekends, hikes, or challenges.
They tell friends, “That physio helped my pain.”

🔥 Patient B leaves confident, fearless, and ready to take on anything.
They tell friends, “That physio changed my life.”

Same injury.
Same plan.
Different outcome.

The difference?
Just 2–3 extra sessions — and a therapist who understands the real journey.

Because the goal isn’t to fix pain.
It’s to build belief.

And that’s what creates referrals, reviews, and lifelong trust.

The Go-To Clinic systems help bridge that gap — from pain relief to life change.

Dm me 'Clinic' to implement those systems.

When Ben Sutton joined the Go-To Clinic Mentorship, he was a solo clinic owner running on fumes.
No direction. No structure. Passion fading fast.

Like many clinic owners, he cared deeply about his patients — but without systems, it felt like survival, not growth.

Fast forward to today — Ben now runs a thriving, multi-therapist clinic, built on the same systems we teach inside the Go-To Clinic Programme.
✅ Clear frameworks
✅ Confident team
✅ Sustainable growth

He’s hiring, leading, and growing — not guessing.

The systems gave him direction.
The direction gave him freedom.

The Go-To Systems make a difference.

DM me 'Clinic' to follow in his footsteps and implement the Go-To systems into your practice.

✅ Build a self-sustaining business
✅ Create confident, accountable staff
✅ Scale without burning out

For therapists — the Go-To Physio programme gives you the frameworks to assess, treat, and progress patients with clarity and confidence.

Because the truth is, success in this profession isn’t about working harder —
it’s about having the right systems to support you.

The Go-To systems are helping clinic owners and physios across the world transform how they work, lead, and grow.

DM me either “Clinic” or "Physio" and I’ll show you which system is right for you.
