Any advice for a new private practice?

Thank you very much for that kind advice. I have done facebook and twitter but not linked in so I will do that now.

I agree that sales reps will sell you loads of ads that won't help in rural areas. I have started 4 clinics in rural Canada, and I find people come by referral.
Now that referral can be from one of three places. Number one, far and away is Doctor referral. If you can get this going, spend your energy on this.
(energy, not money!), like joining the same yoga class that you know one of the doctors goes to, to get inside their head. Number two: Publicly funded
physios. They are spread thin in rural areas, and the government restricts who can see them and for how long. Make sure you chum up to them, and
get them to send their rejects to you. Maybe do an inservice at one of the local hospital physio departments. Third referral source: Coaches of Rugby and
other contact sports, as well as running coaches and dance instructors who see chronic stuff. Join the running club, or sponsor the ballet school's production
of romeo and juliet. Or volunteer with minor sports, (I see that's popular in UK). I trust this will help, it worked for me!
