What we write about
This blog is for physiotherapists who, besides treating patients, also handle the schedule, payments and paperwork of their practice. It's written by the team behind My Fisio Agenda, practice management software for physiotherapy made in Spain, with a practical focus: ideas you can apply in your clinic the same week, explained without jargon or inflated figures. We also cover running a clinic with several physiotherapists: shared schedules, rooms, commissions and clinic-wide statistics (more on software for physiotherapy clinics).
Scheduling, rooms and appointments
How to share out treatment rooms and tables, fit in the recurring sessions of each treatment plan and keep slots free for initial assessments without the week getting out of hand. More on online scheduling for physiotherapists.
Attendance and follow-up
Reminders, confirmations and follow-up messages so that fewer patients miss sessions and no treatment is left halfway. More on WhatsApp reminders.
