08 Apr 2023Osteo Jody Discusses His Recent Artificial Disc Replacement00:57:20

Osteopath Jody Jakob had suffered from low back pain for over three years and had managed until now with osteopathic treatment However, nothing else had worked due to the fact that he had some scoliosis and herniated discs. Two weeks ago he had two replacement artificial discs inserted via his abdomen rather than damaging muscles in his back. This is their story…

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • A lot of people who have surgery have had successful surgeries. Surgeries aren't as invasive as they used to be but there can also be some associated risks with any surgery.
  • Artificial disc replacement, or total disc replacement, is a type of arthroplasty. It is a surgical procedure in which degenerated intervertebral discs in the spinal column are replaced with artificial disc implants in the lumbar or cervical spine.
  • The biggest risk with a hip or knee replacement is the chance of infection. Infections in hospitals can appear in many ways and will require additional rehab.
  • It's important to make personal contact with your patients with face-to-face consultations to break down the barriers of care. Many people will feel much more confident in your services after meeting you and will be much more likely to refer their friends and family to your clinic.
  • Osteopaths who do really well and have a really good name can grow quickly in the profession.

 

BEST MOMENTS

“As a consequence of 45 years of osteopathy and seeing over 200,000 consultations, standing all the time and working long hours, my back just went.”

“I'm able to basically manage my clinic from my bed where I'm spending like 90% of my time.”

“Ultimately your body takes over and just kind of everything meshes together.”

“I've cultivated my contacts in such a way that people trust me and they know that if I can't treat somebody I will refer them to somebody who can.”

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Unique learning ability has a different meaning for each person, but to Gilly, it’s about identifying that everybody has a different way of picking up information e.g some people are auditory learners, others read books etc.
  • It’s important to continue to explore new ways to learn.
  • It’s good to always make the effort to get out of the house and get in touch with nature and fresh air to help to ground and refresh you.
  • Business has highs and lows, don’t panic on slower months; stop and look at what other opportunities are in front of you that you haven’t offered yet.

 

BEST MOMENTS

“We can get sucked into this whole approach to fending for ourselves, not knowing where to find those people”

“I'm always learning more then I’m going ‘what do they need’, my clients”

“The genius moment, or the genius zone, where you are sort of like going in and out of subconscious, and that subconscious is where the memories are lying or going in between memories and conscious awareness and then listening to it”

“I work from inspiration, I don’t have to do anything, ill be inspired to do stuff"

“Doing, doing, doing instead of creating and being; it's quite debilitating and tiring and you feel like you're on a treadmill that never ends"

"I just feel exhilarated, in the same breath exhilarated but calmer"

"You can always look at what’s going on in the world and go ‘what could I do to make things better"

ABOUT THE GUEST

Rory first discovered he was dyslexic at the age of 33 whilst in his first year studying for his osteopathic master's. Getting this diagnosis made him realise that it could have contributed to previous communication and mental health issues. It also helped him to learn to let things go and be himself to allow him to thrive in whatever he chose to focus on. After the pandemic hit, the clinics he worked in closed, so he began upskilling to move with the times. After studying the power of high-performance coaching he took those skills he had learnt and is now a high-performance health coach, positive intelligence coa

16 Apr 2022Common Mistakes Clinics are Making00:22:50

There are 5 common mistakes many Osteopaths make. In today’s show, Gilly talks you through why you need to keep in touch with your patients, addresses how you price your treatments and why you should make a potential patient's experience as seamless as possible.

Clinic not working perfectly? Book a free chat with Gilly to find out how to fix it! bit.ly/osteobizchat

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Not keeping in touch with patients. A newsletter now and again can engage with patients and keep them updated with your practice and maintain a rapport.

 

  • Check-in with your patient database. It’s important for your reputation that you ensure that every single patient gets the very best and receives the ongoing treatment that they need. It's good practice to get them back again and make sure they don't need a bit more treatment and reassurance and help them.

 

  • Create a proper treatment plan for every single patient. Show them the path ahead and the journey to better health. 

 

  • Don’t be scared to raise your prices. Pricing is too often linked with our own self-worth but pricing correctly is very important to the growth of your practice and Osteopaths shouldn’t make assumptions about how patients will prioritise their life and how much they’re willing to pay for treatment.

BEST MOMENTS
“Keeping in touch and maintaining rapport means that next time they need treatment you’ll be top of mind.”

“Give them reassurance that they can achieve their end goal, whatever that might be.”

“Clinics now must offer an online booking option, it’s about making the journey easier for the patient.”

Clinic not working perfectly? Book a free chat with Gilly to find out how to fix it! bit.ly/osteobizchat

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • It can feel like you’re drowning if you are getting overwhelmed with the amount of stuff you have to do and you are getting pulled in too many directions. It’s exhausting. 
  • It’s important to create momentum in your practice and to keep the growth going because businesses that aren’t growing are in decline.
  • Auditing the time spent on tasks can help you identify which are becoming a huge drain on your business. Only by identifying them can you understand which ones you dislike and which ones you can systemise, delegate, outsource and even stop completely. 

BEST MOMENTS 

“If there's too much admin, too much stuff to get done and too many deadlines, it’s going to take our focus elsewhere and slow us right down.”

“Too many people come to me when they're at the point of collapse”

“It's very easy to become bogged down with an array of tasks, which take up masses of our time.”

11 Sep 2021Positive pricing00:11:52

What would increasing your fees mean to your bottom line? Would it mean that you don’t have to work so hard but you take home a higher income? Tune in to uncover the power of positive pricing in your practice. Learn how to correctly price the incredibly value you provide your clients, why you shouldn’t be afraid to increase your prices and how you with supreme service and proven results you get more clients.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

 

  • How many of your patients will have been round the hamster wheel of health care so what happens when they visit your practice? Can you offer them joined up care, a considered diagnosis and a treatment plan?

 

  • The assumption with pricing is that a patient won’t pay for effective health care and that increasing prices will drive away clients. However, with supreme service and proven results you will be able to safely increase your prices and reduce your hours as your revenue per client will increase dramatically. 

 

  • Your pricing model should not be based on your selfworth or the pricing of other practices in your area it should represent the incredible service and value that you provide your patients. 

 

BEST MOMENTS

“My secret weapon to success was actually not being an osteopath but being passionate about the work practitioners do.”

“I used to charge £27 per month for the Osteobiz club with training and a monthly call and the value was immense but the club was probably seen a bit cheap because of the price.

“A patient must value the service that an osteopath practice provides.”

“Sometimes our selfworth gets wrapped up in what we believe we can charge”

“It some areas osteopaths are afraid to raise their prices to represent the service they provide”

04 Jun 2022Overworked and Overwhelmed01:00:57

Gilly is joined by the Founder of A Little Peace of Mind, Entrepreneur, Podcaster and Coach, Nicola Bird. They discuss how the pandemic has changed society, how to overcome anxiety and why remaining in a natural state can help your decision making and aid your clinic.

 

Clinic not working perfectly? Book a free chat with Gilly to find out how to fix it! bit.ly/osteobizchat

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

 

  • The osteopathic profession has a lot more anxiety and overwhelm in the community and among practitioners and patients. Often anxious patients rub off on the clinic and it can create a tough working environment.

 

  • The pandemic changed the way society operated and we all became scared due to the new pressure and stresses of COVID. Being scared and anxious became part of normal everyday life.

 

  • It’s important to make decisions about your business in your natural state and not when you’re stuck in a thought tangle. A thought tangle will revert back to a natural state over time but it’s essential to spot them when it happens when you become overwhelmed and your mind is screaming at you.

  • Don’t make decisions in an anxious state and let imposter syndrome take over. You need to learn to ignore yourself.

 

BEST MOMENTS
“My business hit seven figures and there was just an empty feeling.”

“I'd found peace of mind and the thing that I'd been searching for”

“People are scared, but they had no problem being scared. They were just scared and there’s a real difference.”

“Osteopathy is an art and you’re totally absorbed by it. It just flows through you naturally and you're not even aware of it.”

“If you don't know, you're drunk, you're in trouble. That's a great analogy.”

“If you understand what's going on, you can just ignore yourself.”

Clinic not working perfectly? Book a free chat with Gilly to find out how to fix it! bit.ly/osteobizchat

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • It's a big leap for a new patient to book in for private treatment and they might not know quite what to expect as they may only have ever experienced basic national health service before.

 

  • Your patient's pain is causing them havoc in their life, disrupting sleep, making them irritable, stressing relationships in the family and keeping them away from earning a living.

  • How could you improve your systems, your customer service and your team training to increase patient numbers and improve your service?

31 Jul 2022Marketing is the Lifeblood of Your Clinic00:07:24

In episode three of a brand new mini-series detailing how to recession-proof your practice, Gilly dives into the importance of marketing. How to educate and inform your community, why marketing is vital to sustaining your income and when times are tough, marketing is the strategy you can use to keep your doors open.

 

Clinic not working perfectly? Book a free chat with Gilly to find out how to fix it! bit.ly/osteobizchat

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

 

  • In a recession, the first thing a lot of companies do is axe their marketing department but you should never cut off the people that bring in new business. Never stop promoting your brand, your services and what you do to help people.

 

  • Companies that cease marketing activity during a recession are the ones that will fail.

 

  • During a recession, your marketing activity needs to educate and inform the people in your community about what you do and how you can help them. Marketing will keep your income consistent during tough economic times.

 

  • Clinics cannot solely rely on word of mouth because it is very difficult to grow and you do not have any control over when it stops. Focusing on marketing and education will help to generate a pipeline of patients for your practice.

 

BEST MOMENTS

“In large companies, you can get lost as a cog in a wheel without making any real difference.”

“Getting rid of the marketing department in a recession is the worst thing that you can do.”

“Marketing is the lifeblood of your business.”

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

  • The biggest reason for social media marketing is to build your presence in your community and build the know, like and trust that people have for you.
  • Marketing your practice begins by letting more people see through your door. Educating and informing your community is vital because If people don’t know what you do, they will never book to see you.

Discover how to make the social media algorithms work for you, what to post and when to post it to get yourself known and build your brand. 

Clinic not working perfectly? Book a free chat with Gilly to find out how to fix it! bit.ly/osteobizchat

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Most potential patients aren't seeing what you post because you’re not posting enough and, perhaps surprisingly, you can never post too much. It therefore goes without saying that if your potential patients don’t see your posts, they still don’t know who you are or how you can help them.
  • Social media algorithms, particularly Facebook, show your posts organically to around only 5% of your page followers, so by posting more you're certainly not being a pest as only a few people will be seeing it. 
  • We have to attract the attention of your potential patients and build a community so don't be afraid to use humour or to be entertaining. It is social media and it’s about connection, relationships and sharing.

 

BEST MOMENTS
“Post more often than you feel comfortable with.”

“Use organic posts, don't pay Facebook any money.”

“Only a few people will see your posts organically, but it's still vital.”

“If you stop posting to your page, Facebook will think the page is dead and it's not going to show anything to your potential clients.”

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Impostor syndrome, also known as impostor phenomenon or impostorism, is a psychological occurrence in which an individual doubts their skills, talents, or accomplishments and has a persistent internalised fear of being exposed as a fraud.
  • If you’re running your own business you need to be visible, put yourself out there so that people know what value you provide. Most people avoid putting themselves out there for fear of the unknown and ultimately hold themselves and their clinics back.
  • Even experienced osteopaths and practitioners feel imposter syndrome, it becomes a repeating pattern regardless of experience, similar to a neural pathway that gets repeated over and over again and after a while it starts to feel true.

 

BEST MOMENTS

“We don't know what it is we’re swimming in until we either figure it out or somebody points it out to us.”

“Imposter syndrome is very common, particularly amongst women.”

“We don't go and give presentations and conferences and all those sorts of things. We just kind of hold ourselves back and so we don't really progress.”

“You don’t get seen on social media because you’ve not been active. But the most you do the easier it becomes.”

Clinic not working perfectly? Book a free chat with Gilly to find out how to fix it! bit.ly/osteobizchat

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

 

  • Since the pandemic, people have struggled to see GPs which has seen a massive increase in demand for manual therapy.

 

  • You don't need to be fearful of a recession, there are always opportunities to be had during tough times, although you do need to focus on protecting your business and planning and strategising to block book clients in for treatment. 

 

  • Do not reduce your prices at any point in the coming months. Keep your prices high and continue to increase them incrementally too, because otherwise, you're going to really feel the pinch on your profits. 

 

  • To protect your clinic during a recession, ensure that everything is systemised and streamlined to make sure it is as time-efficient and profitable as possible. 

 

BEST MOMENTS
“There’s a lot of competition in the manual therapy space and a lot of clinics are trying to expand.”

“With a potential recession looming we need to protect our businesses.”

“You're not in business to earn less year on year, you’re in it to earn more and to make sure you provide properly for your family.”

“Always look at other revenue streams and how else you could support your community with the work that you do.”

10 Sep 2022Having a Cash Cushion00:05:07

Recession-proof tip number nine, keeping a cash cushion in the bank. Join Gilly as she explains why in the current economic climate, it's essential to cover your business expenses with cash in the bank. Learn how to overcome turbulent times, invest in your practice and increase profitability. 

Clinic not working perfectly? Book a free chat with Gilly to find out how to fix it! bit.ly/osteobizchat

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

  • The rate of inflation is high and the cash we have in the bank is consistently being devalued. So it buys us less and less and clinic owners are feeling the pinch.

 

  • Having three months' worth of expenses in cash set aside will protect you if anything happens to derail your business. Having cash available will help you overcome turbulent times and ride out any months when you see patient numbers dip.

 

  • Keep a cash cushion behind you to cover expenses and invest a small portion towards improving your business, growing it, increasing patient numbers, making it more efficient and increasing profitability. 



BEST MOMENTS 

“It’s really important to have some cash available in case you need it.”

“A little cash cushion gives you a lot of relief and keeps debt off of your credit cards.”

“We’re all in business to make a reasonable profit so we can look after our families.”

“If there is a further downturn in the economy it's gonna bite.”

30 Oct 2021The EdACHE project: in conversation with Special Guest Vinod Mahtani00:22:55

In this episode of the Osteobizness podcast, Gilly interviews a special guest Vinod Mahtani. Together they discuss all things Osteopathy, how to improve your practice and the goals of the ground breaking new EdACHe project.

Clinic not working perfectly? Book a free chat with Gilly to find out how to fix it! bit.ly/osteobizchat

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • We call ourselves osteopaths for progress in headaches and migraine. Some of us have done a further study into headaches and migraines. We've come from a variety of backgrounds, but the unifying force is pain and headaches themselves and wanting to improve the quality of care for headaches.
  • Osteopaths for Progress in Headaches and Migraines (OPHM) is about improving the quality of care and knowledge osteopaths have around headaches. Phase one of the headache projects was finding out where we are now. Phase two is for developing the training course for osteopaths. Phase three is about testing this out and interpreting the data received. 
  • There's an old guard of osteopaths and a new way of working which is a more evidence-based and informed way of working. But success is about combining the old and the new with personalised care for the patient.
  • There's a lot of evidence to show that educating patients really helps reduce pain levels and anxiety around persistent pain and chronic headache conditions.
  • Osteopathy has changed in practice from the philosophy of osteopathy to more evidence-based osteopathy.

 

BEST MOMENTS
“There been little support for people with headaches.”

“I actually found myself quite fearful of people coming in with headaches as there’s not really the tools to help solve them.”

“We were surviving and weathering the pandemic, it's been quite good for us as I've gotten to concentrate more on the research side of things and I’m trying to develop some training courses”

16 Oct 2021Thinking like a successful practice owner00:14:26

A successful business owner works on their practice and not in it. Join Gilly as she discusses how to grow and scale your practice by mastering time, money and energy. Discover how to use systems and automation to free up time, why you need to outsource tasks to save your energy and understand the mindset behind the value you offer and the prices you charge.

Clinic not working perfectly? Book a free chat with Gilly to find out how to fix it! bit.ly/osteobizchat

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

 

  • There’s often a block to increasing profits in your own thinking, not in your actual reality. It’s the entrenched business beliefs and actions that may ensure that your practice fails and does not reach its full potential.

 

  • Time and energy are the biggest factors affecting a clinic’s growth. Osteopaths often spend too much time and energy in appointments and self-managing that they’re exhausted. Osteopaths need to systemise operations and outsource tasks that take up time.

  • Prices are often incorrectly set and are based on the competition. Practice prices should be set relative to the exchange in value you’re offering your patients. 

 

  • A successful practice owner has mastered time, energy and money by working on their business and not in it. They put systems and automation in place to take care of the smaller tasks and take time out of their business to recharge. A successful practice knows its worth and knows the value of the service they provide.

 

BEST MOMENTS
“As business owners, you start out with nothing more than an idea. Generally, something you can be proud of, fulfils you and serves your community.”

“There’s an inability in clinics for Osteopaths to give up the smaller tasks that take up energy”

“How many patients do you need to see in order to break even?”

“A successful business owner workings on their business, not in it.”

“Setting your fees are often wrapped up in your own self-worth”

13 Mar 2022Why Osteopaths are Vital to New Parents00:30:58

Together they discuss the stress and vulnerability new mothers face, the information and guidance they need to help their newborn thrive and how Osteopaths can share their knowledge in a time when there’s so much stress on the NHS.

Clinic not working perfectly? Book a free chat with Gilly to find out how to fix it! bit.ly/osteobizchat

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

 

  • If you’re a first-time parent there will understandably be some anxiety about the baby's development and how their progressing. 

 

  • Due to a lack of home visits and support from the NHS, often midwives are only able to support new parents via phone calls. This can be stressful for the new mum and leave them vulnerable as they’re seeking advice and guidance on how to feed, soothe and hold their newborn.

  • New parents may not have all of the right information they need to support and understand their newborn. Osteopaths and other healthcare professionals can share their knowledge of baby development and share key fundamentals to put new parents' minds at risk with things such as feeding and growth.

 

  • There are many reasons that can cause a newborn baby not to thrive and it’s important to recognise them and seek support but also realise that as a new parent you’re not a failure.

 

  • COVID-19 and the access to healthcare, as a result, has had a huge impact on the well-being and mental health of new parents. 

 

BEST MOMENTS
“A lack of support leaves new parents feeling very vulnerable.”
“There’s a lot of expectations put on new mums who may not have a support network around them”

“If a newborn is not thriving it’s important to remember you’re not a failure as a parent”

“Just by knowing how many feeds a baby needs in 24 hours, Osteopaths can help new parents.”

27 Mar 2022Community, Knowledge and Measuring Success with Elizabeth Curphey00:52:46

How do you measure success in your practice? Gilly is joined by an experienced osteopath and owner of the founder of The Therapy Rooms, Elizabeth Curphey. Together they explore the value of sharing knowledge, how to serve your local community and how to measure success. 

 

Clinic not working perfectly? Book a free chat with Gilly to find out how to fix it! bit.ly/osteobizchat

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Osteopaths know how to treat patients, they know how to practice but it's the business side of running your practice that can be really demanding. Osteopaths need to join communities, learn from each other and make mistakes so that they can grow as business owners.

 

  • How do you measure success? Understanding from the beginning that you need to set boundaries and determine how to will measure what a successful practice looks like is important to staying motivated and providing great customer service. Success means not comparing ourselves to others and not thinking your practice is better than another, success is different for every osteopathy. 

 

  • Osteopaths provide a really important service to the community and people really value the knowledge that osteopaths have. It’s important to realise you’re not selling a service the community don’t need, it’s something every one of your patients is going to benefit from in more way than one. 

 

BEST MOMENTS
“My vision was to have a multidisciplinary practice and at its peak, we had osteopaths, counsellors, therapists and nutritionists; my vision came to life.”

“This profession has given me such a lovely, wonderful and fulfilling life.”

“When people have tough experiences and they’re feeling demoralised about their practice I don't want them to feel alone.”

“We do our very best with every patient that comes through the door, but there may well be one or two in your weekly list that don’t quite get it.”

09 Jul 2022Incorporating Great Nutrition Into Your Practice.01:01:25

Gilly is joined by an experienced chiropractor and founder of The Academy of Chiropractic Nutrition, Simon Billings. They discuss easy nutritional wins with patients who aren't responding to treatment, How the body stops functioning because of missing nutrients and typical deficiencies and how to fix them.

 

Clinic not working perfectly? Book a free chat with Gilly to find out how to fix it! bit.ly/osteobizchat

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

 

  • A neuro mechanical intervention and focus on nutritional benefits of health can have a huge success with patients that never quite heal their pain or restore to full function.

 

  • Implementing nutritional advice into your practice can help to serve patients that may have inflammation and hypersensitive nerved in the brain. Neuromechanical nutrition can help them understand why they are not healing or responding, why they're tired and might be depressed.

 

  • If you can utilise neuromechanical nutrition correctly, you can win the game of inflammation and the pain of your patient will come down, the mood and their energy will improve as you break their vicious cycle of pain and improve their lifestyle. It’s about getting to the root cause of issues and doing enough so that your treatment works.

 

BEST MOMENTS

“I average about 15 minutes of nutritionist treatment in a 30-minute appointment.”

“How do we implement new nutrition into our practices and spot patients early enough that may have ongoing inflammation.”

“Neuromechanical nutrition can link to biopsy and the psychosocial model.”

“There's a root cause of all of your patient's issues and rather than treating them separately they need to be addressed together.”

08 Oct 2022Demystifying SEO with founder of Market Your Clinic Online, Chris Dann00:36:42

The right SEO strategy can help to grow your practice. In this episode, Gilly is joined by the founder of Market Your Clinic Online, Chris Dann. As an expert agency in website and digital marketing services for physical therapy and Allied Health, Chris shares his misconceptions around SEO, how to build a website that ranks well in Google and why SEO can help to build trust signals between you and your potential patients.

Clinic not working perfectly? Book a free chat with Gilly to find out how to fix it! bit.ly/osteobizchat

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • There are a lot of misconceptions around SEO and the biggest misconception is that SEO is something that you do to your website and then it's done and then that's it.
  • If you have plenty of information on your website, downloadable resources and explainer videos, Google is going to rank your website favourable as it will provide the person searching with the information they need.
  • If you want to have your website rank well for Google searches, you need to consider what other organisations are saying about you on their website. Do you have good reviews? Are you reputable?
  • A good example of SEO is where other websites produce backlinks on their sites and direct users to your website. An example of this is partnering with your local library, and care homes and offering referred traffic a discount.

BEST MOMENTS

“If you go back 20 years, Google was quite a simple indexing algorithm. These days Google is vastly more sophisticated.”

“Offering plenty of value and usefulness to the user is the first part of a successful SEO strategy.”

“Trust signals across multiple sites will result in a better SEO ranking for your clinic.”

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Artificial disc replacement, or total disc replacement, is a type of arthroplasty. It is a surgical procedure in which degenerated intervertebral discs in the spinal column are replaced with artificial disc implants in the lumbar or cervical spine.
  • Since graduating in 1979, Jody has completed roughly 200,000 Osteopathy consultations, for 12 years Jody worked at a prestigious medical clinic in Cascais, before setting up "Saúde Integral”.
  • Osteopathy can often be shy about having a relationship with medical and orthopaedic people. Don’t shy aware from forming connections with other professionals, it can increase your own well-being as well as increase referrals for your clinic.
  • Chronic pain can cause depression and Osteopathy can help to solve depression as well as fear and anxiety by helping patients' well-being and awareness of issues.
  • It’s important for clinic owners to build the brand of their practice instead of just the reputation of the Osteopath. It’s vital for long-term growth to help bring along your associates and allow them to see as many patients as possible so that you can work on your business instead of just in it.

BEST MOMENTS

“I’d rather be in a wheelchair than continue to be in this pain”

“The only time I didn’t have pain was when I was lying down, I learned a lot about chronic pain.”

“Chronic pain became part of my CPD, I learned what it was like to have long-term pain and how depressing it can make people feel.”

“Having medical friends is good for your brand and your business.”

“I graduated in 1979 and since then I completed roughly 200,000 consultations in that time.”

Clinic not working perfectly? Book a free chat with Gilly to find out how to fix it! bit.ly/osteobizchat

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • One of the most important things in running a clinic is delegation because as owners we want to control everything and we end up running out of time and in there lies overwhelm, exhaustion and burnout.

 

  • You are too valuable to your business to be doing small operational or unskilled day-to-day jobs when you could be seeing patients and using your skills to generate more revenue for your clinic.

 

  • Creating a clinic handbook will help to streamline your practice and produce standard operating procedures for each area of the business. A handbook will help you train up staff on tasks you were previously doing and will teach them the exact way you want it to be done so that you can spend more time seeing patients.

 

BEST MOMENTS
“Once we've got operations and marketing handled, we then move on to getting that clinic handbook done.”

“Find somebody who would do those tasks for a lot less than your value per hour.”

“You have to delegate and get some of that stuff off your desk and get someone else to do it either in the team or by paying someone external to do it.”

21 Nov 2021Marketing - Meet Them Where They Are00:12:49

Marketing is subtle and aims to educate but you need to do it in a way that speaks to your potential patients in the right way. Join Gilly as she dives into the fundamentals of marketing, why it’s essential to create engaging content, how you can empathise with your patients and what meeting them where they are really means.

Clinic not working perfectly? Book a free chat with Gilly to find out how to fix it! bit.ly/osteobizchat

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Sales talks about the benefits of a product or service and why you should buy it but marketing is different. It's more subtle and aims to educate and inform your potential patients.
  • What does then meet them where they are really mean? It means really understanding what their pain level and current experience is. Talking to potential patients in their language and interacting with them where they hang out.
  • To market to potential patients you can create content that highlights their frustrations, you can illustrate with stories of typical patients who have been there before and shine a light on their problem. Empathise with them about how it's making them feel and what these issues are stopping them from doing.
  • Target your marketing light at one sector of the community at a time. Find your perfect patients so you know who you’re talking to and what you’re talking to them about.

BEST MOMENTS
"I used to think that sales and marketing was the same thing. But there’s a difference between selling things and marketing things."

“Illustrate and use testimonials from similar patients and tell their stories.”

Discover what systems and marketing you need to put in place to succeed and how Gilly and the Osteobiz team can help attract more customers to your clinic.

Clinic not working perfectly? Book a free chat with Gilly to find out how to fix it! bit.ly/osteobizchat

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Inefficient practices are mostly due to operating a faulty business model. Often clinics get in a log jam because they haven’t invested in expert assistance to improve the skills and operations of their business and this can lead to slow growth in customers.
  • Clinics struggle to grow because there is little or no robust consistent marketing happening, and despondency with the local community has begun. This is an example of a hole in your business model that needs to be fixed.
  • To turn a practice around you need to have a plan of action and the ability to solve the problems, put better systems in place and boost the team to get them working in a way that's good for the business.

BEST MOMENTS
“Just like everything in life business moves and ebbs and flows constantly”

“For many practices, the events of the past two years have created an increased demand for osteopath services.”

“Many people are now cash rich and time poor.”

“I don't strive for perfection because therein lies madness, but I do constantly strive to improve my own the way my own business runs”

02 Apr 2022In conversation with Gayle Parnham and saving money with an Accountant00:41:08

In today’s Osteobizness episode, Director and founder of GWA Accountancy, Gayle Parnham joins the show. Gilly and Gayle dive into the financial and strategic decisions you need to make in order to scale your practice and accelerate growth. Why taking a loan isn’t a bad thing and how building your team helps to build the foundation for growth.

 

Clinic not working perfectly? Book a free chat with Gilly to find out how to fix it! bit.ly/osteobizchat

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

 

  • One of the most common pitfalls business owners face is trying to take on everything themselves, but the challenge is ‘how do you manage to do everything when you've got limited resources?’ Far too often people focus on saving costs rather than the time aspect of doing that task themselves costs.

 

  • You must evaluate if certain tasks are worth your time or If they can be outsourced at a cost so that you can see more patients. Otherwise, you may be reducing your own turnover by not sticking to your primary skillset. 

 

  • To scale your practice and accelerate the speed of growth sometimes it’s beneficial to take out a business loan when you factor in how long you want to run your practice. Depending on your goals, a financial loan could help you grow your client base quicker and provide you with more working capital as a result.

 

  • Building a team within your practice can actually save you money in the long run and you can build business relationships that become instrumental in helping you create a self-sustaining and profitable practice with happy patients generating you an income. 

 

BEST MOMENTS
“You could be doing yourself out turnover and instead be increasing the number of patients you see.”

“There's always solutions to a lack of finances, it could be taking on a loan or finance so that you can get yourself a better footprint in terms of profitability quicker.”

“Before hiring, ask yourself does this role really add value to my business and can the money be earnt from the role?”

  • Mindset is crucial for the successful running of practice operations and for delivering excellent service and follow-up for patients. A strong mindset delivers well-thought-out decisions rather and positive and proactive reactions to problems.
  • Managing and having clarity of thought and understanding of your goals makes managing your team much easier. When everyone is on board with the business development plan, it makes it easier to achieve those goals.
  • There are many business models that you can deploy to create a successful and profitable practice but it’s about getting the balance right between outgoings and income.
  • Marketing is the oil, which keeps the clinic engine busy, productive and working. You need to continuously educate and inform your community about what you do and why it’s beneficial.  
  • Mixing up money and self-worth brings us full circle to mindset. Knowing what we're worth means that we avoid being busy, knackered, and broke. So it’s important to set your fees that represent your worth as well as having a contingency fund as a cash cushion. 

 

BEST MOMENTS

Clinic not working perfectly? Book a free chat with Gilly to find out how to fix it! bit.ly/osteobizchat

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

  • You have put the patients first above all other aspects of the business. If you have an obsession within your practice, about the results of your patients and about the patient journey, everything changes. If you’re focused on patients before everything else then the money doesn't matter, all of your focus is on the outcome for each and every patient. 
  • When you're fully obsessed with your patients and you’re giving them a gold standard patient journey it will lead to growth. 
  • Growing your practice and generating more referrals is about finding the place of fair exchange. You provide your patient with a positive result and they will give you one. As a result, Osteopaths must care more about the results of their service than the clients do because an obsessive mindset will lead to more referrals and more business. 
  • The results of your patient's treatment is a powerful marketing tool and your successful results will enable you to reach out to new people. 

 

BEST MOMENTS
“Everybody wants more word of mouth referrals”

“It’s time to put yourself in your patient's shoes and see things from their point of view.”

“When you’re obsessed with the patient and their journey you will create fair exchange in your practice.”

“When you're giving that level of gold standard service you'll practice and cannot help but grow.”

“You must care about their results more than they do and take the money out of the equation.”

“Your patient results will give you even more proof that your treatments work.”

Clinic not working perfectly? Book a free chat with Gilly to find out how to fix it! bit.ly/osteobizchat

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

  • You want a business that thrives and grows and isn't just surviving, without the correct systems and structures in place it can feel like you’re constantly on the back foot. 
  • As Osteopaths you’re skilled in Osteopathy, but it’s unlikely you will have degrees in business or marketing so you need to get educated on what the best practice is. 
  • There are endless ways that you can reach your audience and grow your practice and often it can feel like a lot of pressure and that there are things you should be doing but aren’t. 
  • It's important to understand that you must work on your business and not just on it. If you’re working on your business you are able to look at the marketing, future-proofing, systems, processes and pricing. 

BEST MOMENTS 

“We were constantly chasing our tails.”

“We loved doing our primary job and being Osteopaths, however, there was very little time left for the business stuff.”

“We didn't have much time for forward-thinking and our marketing was nonexistent and not planned.” 

“Chaos results in stress and this can have an impact on your health.”

“You are such a champion of Osteotherapy which is so rare because so many people don't even know what osteopathy is.”

01 Oct 2021How To Stop Fear Getting In Your Way00:14:37

Where are the bottlenecks in your practice? What areas can you improve? Every business needs to move with the times in order to succeed and grow. In this episode of the Osteobizness podcast, discover how to stop fear from getting in your way, why you need to embrace change, systems and automation and what having an open mind can mean when taking your clinic to the next level.

Clinic not working perfectly? Book a free chat with Gilly to find out how to fix it! bit.ly/osteobizchat

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

  • What got you here, won’t get you there. The work that you’ve done to build your practice and current patient numbers, won’t take you to the next level you’re looking to grow to. You need to make changes in your business and not be fearful of the impact they might make. 
  • Changes bring about feelings of fear and anxiety and you may wonder how your patients will react to any changes in pricing, operation or practice. Fear breeds isolation and as an Osteopath, you can be left feeling alone, not knowing how to grow your practice and scared of making any changes.
  • Mindset is essential to how we operate our businesses. By putting systems, marketing, pricing tiers and a structure in place you will be able to free up time in your personal and business life with your clinic running smoothly in the background.
  • Have an open mind to growing your practice and overcoming the fear and resistance of change will enable you to systemise your business and take your clinic to the next level.

 

BEST MOMENTS
“Change is always a risk, but what if it goes right. What if the changes you made were the very thing that enabled you to grow”

“Where the issues are in your business that means you’re unable to grow?”

“When you have systems in place and patients are able to book themselves in you don’t need to be spending hours on communication backwards and forwards with clients.”

“Every business needs to move with the times otherwise you will stagnate and ultimately perish”

Clinic not working perfectly? Book a free chat with Gilly to find out how to fix it! bit.ly/osteobizchat

 

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

 

  • By incorporating systems and procedures into your practice you will be able to overcome the ongoing daily stresses of patient inquiries, cancellations, late arrivals. marketing, accounts, CPD mentoring and everything that can become overwhelming.

 

  • Integrating systems in your business that will save you time is the number one thing you can do to stay in love with your business because inefficiencies in the way a practice operates, directly creates even more stress and overwhelm.

 

  • Clinics can fail to succeed because of one fundamental issue and that’s what’s going on in the owner's head. Often something is holding them back such as long-held beliefs or negative self-talk and they’re unable to grow, unable to modernise existing systems and it can halt the clinic's progression.

 

  • Focus on shifting your efforts towards the patient and creating a gold-standard patient journey. When the focus is centered around serving and not income or results everything will work better and you will no longer feel out of control, overwhelmed and exhausted. You will be thriving, energetic, and fall back in love with your work.

 

 

BEST MOMENTS
“We all get those days with back to back complex problems to sort and we can often feel jaded.”

‘Many clinic owners are afraid of tech or simply don't want to learn about it.”

“Marketing is critical and our potential patients need to know what and who is behind that door’

03 Jun 2023Neurodivergence With Rory Lemon00:47:07

Emotional Freedom Coach Rory Lemon joins the Osteobiz show to discuss neurodivergence in Osteopathy and its impact on how we as individuals and our traits affect our lives as we react to different stimuli.
Take the new Osteobiz quiz: https://results.osteobiz.com/clinicsuccess

Clinic not working perfectly? Book a free chat with Gilly to find out how to fix it! bit.ly/osteobizchat

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • “neurodivergent” describes people whose brain differences affect how their brain works. That means they have different strengths and challenges from people whose brains don't have those differences. The possible differences include medical disorders, learning disabilities and other conditions.

  • Adversity often comes along psychologically, mentally or physically and that will shape us into the Osteopaths we are today. It’s important to think about neurodivergence and the set of traits we all develop as we react to stimulus. Neurodivergence exists due to neuroplasticity and our experiences and traumas.

  • Osteopath mentorship is the training behind a successful practice, implementing systems and processes that help you grow. Coaching is the psychological element behind growing your clinic, what do you want to do, what is your vision and how will you get there.

  • To look after your patients you need to look at the long-term backward and treat patients outside of the treatment room by embracing neurodivergence and treating/coaching patients on how to overcome their pain.

 

BEST MOMENTS

“It all started in my parent's living room.”

“Around 80% of Osteopaths are dyslexic or have some part of their brain that might work slightly differently.

“Neurodiversity is the scope of everything, it’s the spectrum of how we react to stimulus and learn.”

“When you have anxiety it can feel like you're drowning and there’s no way out.”

KEY TAKEAWAYS

 

  • Analyse your patient journey and identify where you can improve your service and enhance their experience. This could be focusing on follow up appointments, providing them with a treatment plan or simply educating them on how to avoid.

“You're already giving a great service, but I would urge you to look at the patient journey.”

“Have you given your patient the best possible outcome for their pain?”

21 May 2022Common Communication Mistakes And How To Fix Them With Chris Chippendale00:50:56

Gilly is joined by Doctor of Chiropractic and Clinical Director, Chris Chippendale in this episode of The Osteobizness podcast. Together they dive into the patient journey, how to manage expectations with treatment plans and why communication within clinics is essential to success. 

Clinic not working perfectly? Book a free chat with Gilly to find out how to fix it! bit.ly/osteobizchat

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

  • Communication with patients regarding their recommended treatment plan is so important. It’s essential that osteopaths communicate the expectations for a treatment plan and explain the how and the why for each visit so that the patient knows it’s coming from a place of care and wellbeing. 

 

  • Education and awareness around the patient's care is vital as it’s their health that can be impacted so you need to break down the treatment you’re giving and give the patient confidence in why you’re doing it. 

 

  • Insecurity, fears, hang-ups and worries can often get in the way of putting the patient first. Effective patient-centred care puts all of the doubt aside and serves the patient with the solution to their problem. 

 

  • The social styles model is a simple framework for identifying the patient's preferred communication style based on outward behaviour. As an osteopath, you can use this method to serve and communicate with your patients in the way in which is most effective for them, which in turn improves their experience. 

 

BEST MOMENTS
“There's a lot more overlap in the venn diagram than differences between chiropractors and osteopaths.”

“We're all learning from each other as the science advances as a rising tide lifts all boats.”

“I don't want to be one of those chiropractors or osteopaths that’s feared, it’s a stereotype.”

“There's so many things that we can spot as to ways they can improve their life, health and wellbeing.”

“Try not to overwhelm your patients at the start, aim to drip feed the education and build a rapport.”

“There's so many more variables that are outside of our control and you can't ever get to a point where you will fix everybody that produces some anxiety.”

18 Jun 20229 key mistakes in osteopathic practices00:28:07

Many clinics make mistakes that can lead to loss of profits, overwhelm and a drop off in patients. In this episode of The Osteobizness podcast, Gilly shares with you 9 key mistakes practices make and how you can avoid them. 

 

Special Offer: During June you can join the Osteobiz Mastermind program to Recession Proof your clinic in just 90 days! For more information about this, message Gilly via social media or by

email: gilly@osteobiz.com

 

Clinic not working perfectly? Book a free chat with Gilly to find out how to fix it! bit.ly/osteobizchat

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

 

  • Relying on word of mouth should not be your only way of generating business. Your marketing strategy should drive a steady amount of leads to your clinic with word of mouth and referral acting as the icing in the cake.

 

  • Marketing should be a key focus every week and your mission should be to educate and inform your community.

  • Many clinics are being run in a disjointed way which can lead to overwhelm. Systems and processes make your clinic work efficiently and improve the experience for the patient. 

 

  • A key mistake clinic owners make is having an incorrect fee structure which can lead to a low income. Your fees need to be priced correctly and increase over time to represent the time and value you’re offering your patients.  

 

  • Don’t ignore previous patients, they are valuable to you. You've done your marketing, you've increased your patient numbers and you’ve finished their treatments but that doesn’t mean your relationship ends there. They will come back and have more problems that you can solve, so stay in touch. 

 

BEST MOMENTS

“Referrals are nirvana, they show your loyal patients recommending your services.”

“But beware; relying solely on referrals is putting the success of your clinic in other people's hands.”

“Marketing is a critical part of any business.”

“There are thousands more people all around you within touching distance that have no idea you exist.”

“Technology is all around us. It's improving and changing all the time.“

30 Apr 2022Delivering a Full Resolution00:13:44

Let's talk about delivering real results! In today’s episode, Gilly explains the need for providing patients with a full resolution to their problems. Learn why you must offer a full treatment plan and get patients booked in for follow up treatments so that they do not leave with the perception of a poor osteopathy experience. 

 

Clinic not working perfectly? Book a free chat with Gilly to find out how to fix it! bit.ly/osteobizchat

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Osteopaths need to provide patients with a full resolution to their problems, even if that means a number of treatments over a period of time. What you cannot do is give a partial resolution, not solve the problem and leave the patient in pain and with the perception that osteopathy doesn’t work.

 

  • Always give patients the option to book their next appointments so they can get the times that they prefer, that suit their diary and their schedule. Don't just give them a partial result.

 

  • This is private health care and people know that they need to pay for that so focus on the result and not the money.

 

BEST MOMENTS
“We've got one chance with a patient, you've got one chance to give them a result.”

“Give them a full result, deliver what you're capable of and keep talking to them.”

“People are prepared to pay for private health care that is high quality.”

  • When you first launch a practice it’s only your friends that come for treatment but if you work at it and market yourself and the service you provide, people will start to come.

  • Osteopathy will continue to develop and have a larger part to play with the whole body with treatment for the heart and head. Osteopathy is more than what you can do with your hands, it’s also about what you say and how you interact with them to find the key to solving their problem.

BEST MOMENTS

  • “I wanted to be an Osteopath because I wanted to help people”
  • “I opened the first Osteopathic clinic in Cascais and both the Portuguese and British started to come”
  • “Do what you love and talk to people about your work because you are changing peoples lives”
  • “We don’t cure people, we help to make people better and patient engagement is the key”
  • “Osteopaths help patients on lots of different levels”

15 Oct 2022Key Man Down - How to Protect Your Business00:19:44

What would've happened if you'd become ill yesterday? In this episode, Gilly explains how to run your practice in the most optimal way, why you need to create a digital employee handbook and when a ‘key man goes down’ you’re set up to continue serving your patients and earning an income.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Key Man insurance is to cover usually self-employed people who take out for periods when they’re off sick or need insurance to cover their income in the event that they cannot work.
  • What would've happened if you'd become ill yesterday? You need to focus on creating a handbook for your business and train your team to make the right decisions, deal with patients and handle situations when you’re ill or if you simply run out of bandwidth.
  • Whatever size practice you run, give some thought to what would happen if you’d become ill yesterday. There's a lot of recession fatigue at the moment. There are a lot of people feeling a bit jaded, exhausted and worn out.
  • Run your business in the most optimal way that saves time with better systems in place such as an employee handbook to keep your practice running.
  • Plug the gaps in your business so that you know that when key members of the team go down, who is responsible for keeping the plates spinning and that your clinic will continue running smoothly and serving your community.

 

BEST MOMENTS

“I was brought up in an environment where you work hard and if you took a day off you were lazy.”

“I suppose that made me quite resilient, quite tough and certainly gave me a really hard-working ethic.”

“I was carrying on with the running of the business and didn’t appreciate how poorly I was until suddenly I wasn't coping anymore.”

“You just don't have the bandwidth, energy, focus or anything to actually handle any normal communication.”

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • When you think of selling something to somebody you need to have the mindset that you’re actually aiming to inform and educate them to make the right decision. So growing your practice is about encouraging patients to book in and you’re just showing them how to do it so they know when it comes to the time that they may require treatment.
  • Cliniko can help you set business goals on a daily basis, monitor them and help you track how many patients you saw this week vs last week, future bookings and determine your income and outgoings.
  • Osteopathy is working out the puzzle behind their story and finding solutions with tailored treatment. The goal is to remove those roadblocks and restrictions to what has created the symptoms.
  • What's your best business tip? Online bookings. Simply put, online bookings can turn everything around and give you the systems and automation to be able to take bookings 24/7 whilst freeing up your time to work with your patients.
  • What would you say is your greatest achievement? Believing in my instinct about osteopathy, opening a practice and the doors to new adventures.

 

BEST MOMENTS
“CliniKo can help you streamline, systemise ands automate your practice”

“You dragged me kicking and screaming into my best life”

“I kept my goals really small so when your surpass them it boosts your confidence”

06 Nov 2022Beware The Comparison Monster00:08:28

The comparison monster lives in us all. In this episode of Osteobizness, Gilly explains how to comparison monster affects us all and how we can actually use it to our advantage to discover what we really desire.

Clinic not working perfectly? Book a free chat with Gilly to find out how to fix it! bit.ly/osteobizchat

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • The comparison monster loves to remind you that you aren't as smart, creative, talented, beautiful, handsome, serene, mature, youthful, or wealthy as someone else. It's very adept at making you feel bad when you see someone else doing something.
  • Why can’t we be happy when we see someone else doing well? It’s because we beat ourselves up that we should work harder, we should do more and we’re lazy.
  • Sometimes when someone appears happy, there is a facade there, and behind that is much unhappiness and the outward appearance of success and having it all isn't true.
  • Use the comparison monster to your advantage by asking yourself what’s the motivation behind the comparison. What do you want and how can you work towards achieving it?
  • Once you’re fully in control of your life, future and dreams then everything changes. It’s worth reflecting on what’s important to you and try not to live up to some external reference point.

BEST MOMENTS

“The comparison monster is not usually very nice and lives in most of us.”

“Just because someone else is doing something amazing. It doesn't mean that you should do it too, or that they're even happy doing what they're doing.”

Clinic not working perfectly? Book a free chat with Gilly to find out how to fix it! bit.ly/osteobizchat

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

 

  • As an Osteopath your passion is solving people's pain and therefore you stop worrying about the competition or other things that you cannot control and focus on serving your patients and growing your practice. 

 

  • Patients will not fully recover from just a physical approach, a mind and body approach makes much more of a difference. Understanding why the muscles have got tight, why the nervous system is agitated and the new loop, the neural loop that comes from that can transform your practice.

 

  • Osteopaths are well-placed to help the health of the nation and during the pandemic, osteopaths have massively stepped up in helping their community and serving patients with chronic pain, overcoming fear and serving patients when often hospital appointments were hard to come by.

 

  • Osteopathy is about being truly authentic and resonating with anybody that walks into your practice. You have to be confident to be in your niche and focus on your passion to help people.

 

BEST MOMENTS
“If you build up your reputation in your local area people will travel further to come and see you because of the quality of the work that you do.”

“Word of mouth and social media can br an amazing force for growing your practice”

“Osteopaths are sort of old fashioned doctors.”

“You have to bring your best self to your clinic and do what you love.”
