Physiotherapy clinics · WhatsApp marketing

Somebody has sent you an MRI report at eleven at night asking if you can help.

A physiotherapy clinic's WhatsApp carries scan reports, photographs of swollen ankles, appointment reminders and home-visit arrangements. It also carries health information, which changes how it has to be run. GullySales sets up the business account, the saved replies and the limits on what you may send.

What WhatsApp marketing means

WhatsApp marketing is sending updates, offers and reminders to customers on the app most Indian buyers already check daily. GullySales sets up business WhatsApp, writes the message templates and keeps the list consented and current.

Sales and marketing for physiotherapy clinics, the overview.

Last updated 5 Oct 2026. Rules for this trade differ by state and professional body, and they change. We describe restrictions in general terms, so check the current position with your own council or adviser before you publish anything.

For physiotherapy clinics

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “Do not give an opinion on a scan over chat”

    Somebody sends an MRI report and one line asking whether physiotherapy will help. Answering that from a phone screen is a clinical judgement made without an examination. Reply with a question and a booking, and say plainly that an assessment has to come first.

  • “Exercise reminders go to one patient, never to a group”

    Home exercise instructions are the messages patients actually want. Put two patients in one group and each of them learns something about the other's condition. Every clinical message is one to one, without exception.

  • “An offer broadcast from a clinic is advertising”

    A discount on sessions sent to your patient list is not the same as a hardware shop's Diwali message. Healthcare advertising restrictions apply to it, they differ and they change, so check the current position with your council before anything like that goes out.

What we do

What we deliver for physiotherapy clinics.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A WhatsApp Business account on the clinic number

    One clinic number with the profile, hours, address and services set up, answerable by the desk rather than sitting on a therapist's personal phone.

    Result: Patient messages reach the clinic and stay with it.

  2. Saved replies for the enquiry that arrives in pain

    Prepared responses covering the next available slot, what an assessment involves and the home-visit option, written without any claim about the outcome.

    Result: A patient in pain gets a useful answer at once.

  3. Appointment reminders sent from the clinic number

    A reminder the evening before with the time and therapist, and a confirmation for a home visit including the arrival window.

    Result: Fewer no-shows in the evening and on home visits.

  4. Home exercise instructions sent one to one

    Exercise notes and videos sent to the individual patient after a session, with a rule against group sends of anything clinical.

    Result: Patients do the exercises without their condition being shared.

  5. A written rule on what is never answered over chat

    A short list for the desk and the therapists: no opinion on a scan, no diagnosis, no dosage or pain medicine advice, no claim about recovery.

    Result: The clinic's chat answers stay inside safe ground.

  6. Consent and restraint on any broadcast list

    A list limited to patients who agreed to general clinic news, with an opt-out on every message and the content checked against advertising restrictions.

    Result: You send little, and what you send is defensible.

How the result is measured

  • Messages delivered
  • Reply rate
  • Enquiries from WhatsApp

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

What must be in place first

What a physiotherapy clinic puts in place before a patient's health details touch WhatsApp.

Advertising rules for health professionals differ by state and body and change, so check with your own council before sending any promotion.

A clinic number, not a therapist's own
Register WhatsApp Business on a number the clinic owns, held at reception, with the clinic's name, address and hours. If patients already message a therapist's personal phone, move them across with a short note.
Written consent for reminders
Add a line to the patient form agreeing to appointment and exercise messages on WhatsApp, with a note of what the messages will contain. Record the date. Home-visit families should agree for the person who will actually read the phone.
Wording that does not name the condition
Appointment reminders say 'your session at the clinic', not 'slipped disc' or 'knee replacement rehab'. Previews show on lock screens, and family members often share a phone.
Exercise sheets one to one
Send a home exercise sheet only to the patient it was written for, as a document or short video with her name on it. Never post exercises to a group, since another patient's condition may need different advice.
What staff never answer on chat
Write the rule: no opinion on a scan, no change to a prescribed exercise, no advice on a new pain by message. Offer a call-back or an earlier visit. Check WhatsApp's current business policy and pricing for templates.
Stop word and an alternate route
Each list message ends with a way to stop. Keep a phone number on the profile for patients who prefer calls, and honour a stop request as soon as it is received.

How it works

From your first message to the first report.

No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. First

    Your brief

    You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.

  2. After the brief

    A conversation and a written scope

    We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.

  3. Before work starts

    Baseline recorded

    The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.

  4. After the baseline

    The first fix goes live

    The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.

  5. As agreed

    Report against the baseline

    What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.

  6. At renewal

    Renew on the numbers

    The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.

How the whatsapp marketing work runs

  1. 1

    Understand current WhatsApp use

    We review how customers currently message you and how consistently, if at all, it is answered.

  2. 2

    Audit common questions

    We identify the questions that come up repeatedly, which decide what should be automated first.

  3. 3

    Set up automation and templates

    An automated first response and quick reply templates are built for the most common needs.

  4. 4

    Connect to the CRM

    Conversations are linked to customer records so context carries over between team members.

  5. 5

    Measure and optimise

    We track response time and conversion, refining automated responses based on what customers actually ask.

    • On-page and local search work
    • Link building and technical fixes

Why us

Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.

  • Marketing and sales, as one job

    Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.

  • The person on the first call does the work

    No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.

  • A baseline before anything starts

    Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.

  • The fee in writing, split three ways

    Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.

  • No guarantees we cannot keep

    The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.

  • One office, and we say so

    Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
A patient has sent a photograph of a swollen knee and wants advice. What do we say?
Acknowledge it, ask when it happened and whether they can bear weight, and book an assessment. If anything in the answer worries you, say it needs to be seen today. What you must not do is offer a view on the injury from a photograph.
Can we send our patient list a message about a new service?
Only to patients who agreed to hear from you, and only after checking what your council permits, since restrictions on clinic advertising differ and change. A factual note that the clinic now offers home visits sits differently from an offer on session fees.
A surgeon's office wants to send us post-operative notes on WhatsApp. Is that acceptable?
Ask the surgeon's office which route they are comfortable with, and keep clinical documents in your formal record, such as email or the patient file. Chat is fine for confirming a date. Never forward a patient's notes to other staff or groups without need.
Can we send exercise videos to patients on WhatsApp?
Yes, one to one, to the patient who was shown that exercise. Name the exercise, the side and the number of repetitions the therapist prescribed, and tell her to stop and call if it hurts. Do not post general exercise videos as treatment advice to a list.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
