Physiotherapy clinics · Public relations
Get local media to cover a genuine expertise, not a paid feature.
Public relations for a physiotherapy clinic means placing a therapist's comment on a seasonal injury topic or a new specialisation in local news, which carries more trust than an advertisement. GullySales pitches these around a genuine occasion, such as a marathon season or a new certification.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What public relations means
Public relations is getting your business covered by journalists, trade publications or local news, which carries more trust than an advert because a third party is saying it. GullySales pitches your story to the right publications and prepares your team for interviews when coverage is offered.

Sales and marketing for physiotherapy clinics, the overview.
Last updated 8 Nov 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.
“Seasonal sports events are a real pitch opportunity”
A therapist's advice on preventing running injuries ahead of a local marathon is timely enough for local media to use without payment.
“A new specialisation or certification is a genuine story”
The first clinic in the area offering a specific neuro-rehabilitation technique has a story local health reporters will run.
“Coverage supports referrals, it does not replace them”
Media coverage builds general awareness, but a surgeon still refers based on outcomes and communication, not a mention in the paper.
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.
Seasonal sports injury pitch
A pitch offering a therapist's prevention advice, timed to a local marathon or sporting season.
Result: Local media has a ready, timely reason to feature the clinic.
New specialisation announcement
A pitch built around a genuinely new certification or technique the clinic now offers.
Result: The clinic is introduced to the area as the first to offer it.
Local health reporter contact list
A working list of local reporters and publications who cover health and fitness topics.
Result: Future pitches reach people already likely to run the story.
Coverage reuse for referral materials
Media coverage turned into a credibility line for the website and referral letters.
Result: A surgeon or patient sees independent proof of the clinic's expertise.
How the result is measured
- Coverage secured
- Publication reach
- Enquiries after coverage
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
What is worth telling the press
Stories a physiotherapist can offer a health reporter within professional limits.
- A runner's or cricketer's season
- Offer a therapist's comment before a local marathon or cricket season, covering warm-up, shin pain and when to stop. Keep it to general advice.
- A new specialisation, stated exactly
- Name the course, the institute that awarded it and the date. A reporter will not print what cannot be checked.
- Desk and commute strain
- Pitch a short piece on neck and back strain from desk work. Include a stretch a reader can do at a desk and a line on when to see a therapist.
- A talk at a gym or housing society
- Offer a short talk on lifting, posture or knee care. Tell the paper the venue and bring a handout without promises.
- Wording limits for therapists
- Do not promise recovery, compare your clinic with others or use patient photographs without written consent. Advertising rules for healthcare professionals differ by state and body, so check with your own council.
- Coverage for your referrers
- Print any published coverage and hand it to the orthopaedic surgeons and sports doctors who refer to you at the next meeting.
Who it is for

Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- The clinic has no new certification, specialism or event to report, and a pitch without a story is ignored.
- You hope coverage will replace surgeon referrals; it cannot, and a feature that makes cure claims breaks the council's rules.
How it works
How the public relations work runs
The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.
- 1
Understand what is newsworthy
We interview you and read your records to find stories with facts behind them. Manufactured news rarely earns real coverage.
- 2
Audit relevant press
We list the journalists and publications that cover your industry or town, in English and in the languages your buyers read.
- 3
Prepare the pitch
Each pitch is written for one journalist and one angle. Releases carry the facts a desk needs to check.
- 4
Approach and follow up
Journalists are approached directly. One follow-up goes out, and answers to their questions go back the same day.
- 5
Record and prepare ahead
Coverage goes into the log, and the holding statements are kept current for any matter that may need a public reply.

Where this fits
Three pieces of sales work, in this order.
This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 1, prospecting and lead generation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.
Step 1
Sales audit
Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.
Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.
Step 2 · you are here
Sales process design
One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.
Start here if every salesperson sells differently.
Step 3
Sales management
A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.
Start here if the team has targets and no routine.
