Looking for your next therapist? Stop focusing on techniques — start paying attention to this instead.

Here’s what most clinic owners realize too late:
You can teach someone how to treat, but you can’t teach who they are.

When we hire, clinical knowledge comes second. First, we look at how they connect with people.

Why? Because outcomes aren’t just about exercises or protocols — they’re about trust. And trust is built in the first few minutes, not after a dozen sessions.

Top clinicians in our team aren’t just skilled — they have presence:
✅ Making patients feel genuinely seen
✅ Reading emotions and responding with care
✅ Confident, appropriate introductions that set the tone

You want therapists who inspire confidence, not just follow a plan. That’s the secret to:
✔ Loyal patients
✔ Strong referrals
✔ A clinic culture that scales

Hiring soon? Focus first on who they are, then develop what they know.

If you want to see the system we use to build self-reliant, trustworthy therapists who lead patients from day one, DM me “Hire”.

I speak to so many therapists each week that are experiencing cognitive overload in physio sessions.

Worst of it is that it’s causing a lot of good therapists to lose passion and leave the profession.

And the sad thing is there is an easy fix once you learn to work WITH your brain and not against it.

Clinical reasoning requires pattern recognition and a working hypothesis.

A clinical step by step system helps you organise knowledge and reduce cognitive overload.

If you’d like some help with this for you or your therapists so you can keep patients progressing ethically beyond initial pain relief, just DM me the word ‘mentor’ for a chat.

I was chatting to a therapist in Canada this week who admitted something that made my heart sink...

She'd been cutting treatment plans short because she worried patients would think she was "milking them" for extra sessions.

👉 The result?

Patients who weren't fully recovered but were technically "pain-free enough" to function.

You've felt this awkward tension too, haven't you?

That moment when a patient is 70% better, and you wonder if suggesting more sessions will make you look greedy rather than thorough?

Here's the truth: patients don't want "just enough" treatment.

They want complete confidence in their bodies.

John Ruskin's famous quote teaches us physios a valuable lesson:

"It's unwise to pay too much, but it's worse to pay too little... because the thing you bought was incapable of doing what it was meant to do."

This is EXACTLY what happens when we cut treatment plans short. The patient saves money but loses the complete solution they came for.

Those 'ego' driven quick-fix therapists will tell you getting patients pain-free is enough... that they can 'fix' patients in one or two sessions.

But you and I both know...

👉 Pain free DOES NOT EQUAL Thoughtless, Fearless, Movement!

"Pain relief is just the beginning. Moving with 'thoughtless, fearless movement' is the destination."

And in reality...

"Patients don't drop off - they fall through the gaps in your step by step system."

When you clearly communicate the complete journey from the beginning - when you help patients understand how the treatment plan gets them to their 'definition of success' - something magical happens.

They don't resist additional sessions... they demand them.

They want to trust their body again. They want their tennis serve back, their confidence on stairs back, their ability to play with grandkids back.

That's the real value they came for.

👉 So ask yourself honestly today... Is your current treatment plan capable of delivering that in just two to three sessions?

If you'd like to learn how to communicate this complete journey in a way patients immediately understand and value...
Just DM me the word 'Mentorship' for more information on how I can help.

Remember rushing back from that weekend CPD course, buzzing with excitement about that “revolutionary” technique you just learned?

By lunchtime Monday, you’re back to your old methods, deflated.

That fancy approach just didn’t work with real patients like it did at the workshop.

That sinking realisation that this technique wasn’t that ‘magic bullet’ after all.

That’s EXACTLY why I created these additional Group Coaching Call sessions as part of my ‘Go-To’ Therapist Mentorship...

Because real practice is messy, and cookie-cutter techniques rarely deliver.

Those technique gurus will tell you their method works for everything... that you just need to “master the basics”... that if it’s not working, you’re just not doing it right.

They package everything into neat boxes that look great in theory but collapse in the treatment room.

But as I always say: “Techniques are just tools - systems are solutions.”

Our Live Coaching Call season kicks off April 3rd with six sessions to get you UNSTUCK:

Call #1: Controlling your mind in sessions - staying confident when patients are watching your every move.
Call #2: Mapping tricky cases with multiple symptoms - finding clarity where others see chaos.
Call #3: Making sense of awkward assessments - immediately identifying which tissues to target.
Call #4: Getting complete patient buy-in - overcoming session 3-5 objections that cause drop-offs.
Call #5: Early rehab mastery - maintaining momentum when pain starts easing.
Call #6: Solving that stubborn last 10% of symptoms - eliminating the “give it a go” uncertainty.

Can’t make the live calls? Everything’s recorded AND in podcast format!

You’ll transform from getting decent results with some patients to achieving consistent outcomes with complex cases. You’ll stop dreading first sessions and start confidently troubleshooting any presentation.

You’ll finally see where all those expensive CPD courses fit within your system, and you’ll give up searching for that elusive ‘magic bullet’.

DM me ‘mentorship’ for more information on how to join us in these calls.

Can we be real with each other for a moment?

Solving complex cases on your own hasn’t gone too well so far - right?

You might see some small good results with your straight forward cases

Even start to feel like your making progress...

But…

🌟 Getting those last 10% of symptoms to go just doesn’t happen.

So in this moment, I ask you, as your future mentor…

🌟 …what are you waiting for?

Are you scared of this not working for you and failing?

Scared of investing in yourself?

What your partner might say?

All of this self-doubt is very often the reason you're currently struggling with complex cases instead of being known as the 'Go-To' expert in your area.

I can guarantee that if you message me today - by next week you'll have a clear systematic framework to assess and treat ANY patient who walks through your door.

So let’s make this happen.

Send me a message and lets have a quick chat.

Speak soon :)

Hope everyone is having a great St. Patrick’s Day!

I can confirm although finished 75 Hard conveniently on Friday, I am NOT in the pub today!

I am actually in the clinic today preparing for our free webinar happening tomorrow evening at 7pm UK time.

It’s called:

“Beyond the 4th Session: The Pro Sport Method to Keep Patients Progressing (Without Feeling Salesy)”

In this free training, I’ll reveal:

* Why patients typically drop off after 3-4 sessions (even when they’re improving)
* The crucial bridge between low and high-level rehabilitation most therapists miss
* How to set expectations in session 1 that create buy-in for the complete treatment journey
* The exact communication framework I used with England Rugby that you can implement in private practice
* How to double your patient visit average ethically while delivering superior outcomes

You’ll discover the systematic approach I developed through 3 Rugby World Cup campaigns that’s now helping hundreds of private practice therapists increase rebooking rates, extend patient journeys, and become the go-to experts in their communities.

This isn’t about using pushy sales tactics.

It’s about communicating value so effectively that patients understand the complete journey and choose to invest in their full recovery.

If you’re tired of the “revolving door” of patients who never achieve their full potential, this webinar is for you.

If you’d like to join me on the live training just DM me your name and email address and I’ll have my team send you the link prior to the training. .
