Starting a Physiotherapy Clinic

[alophysio]

Hi regular,

Ah, this is a seemingly easy question but it is more complex than that. Many factors to consider.

I had this idea of where i could start practices and leave them to others to run etc.

This is theoretically possible and is actually done around the world successfully by other people.

The problem is that is is not that easy to leave something in someone else's hands.

It would be like leaving your baby with someone - whom do you trust?

It depends on your tolerance, ability to manage but MOST importantly whom you hire.

I had up to 4 locations going at one stage but i have scaled it back to 1. I had 2 locations for a long time which worked well but my brother was there and it ran just fine without me because i could trust him.

Also, without being conceited, i provide physio that is a bit different so people tend to ask for me...and it helps that i have been here nearly 10 years...but that makes it hard to leave.

If it were me, i would buy the existing practice but try not to be the main physio or the "star" if you like...try to find someone better than you and promote them as the "star".

Good luck

Thank you for your input!
I appreciate it!
I agree with a lot of what you are saying.
It makes a lot of sense.
