Our Ethos

We believe that physiotherapy is one of the most personally rewarding businesses to be involved in. We make a significant impact on people’s health, we positively influence family dynamics, and we do immeasurable good in our communities. However, we are nowhere near remunerated well enough for the good work that we do. Physio Business Growth exists to rectify this.

Our mission is to see physiotherapy businesses run more effectively, profitably and with greater perceived value in the community.

As part of this mission, we aim to hold three key principles close to everything we do:

1. Integrity

It is hugely important to us that everything we do and everything we advise our clients to do, is done with integrity. This relates to both maintaining integrity of the profession and also integrity of service delivery to clients.

2. Honesty

We believe that the only way to progress as individuals and as a business is complete honesty and transparency. As a result, we will always be honest with you about your business, your staff and how to progress.

3. Value

Whether you are accessing our free content or working in our elite programmes, we want you to feel that we have provided value and impact, at every point of contact, from written content, to our video training and live support.
