Nine out of ten practitioners will switch off the moment you mention PVA. So how do you fill your books, reduce white space, and get great client outcomes - without the numbers talk killing your culture?
In this episode of the Grow Your Clinic podcast, Ben Lynch sits down with Michael Rizk to dig into the patient visit average conversation that most clinic owners are getting wrong. Mic shares the three-part clinical framework he uses to help practitioners understand why patients should stay the course, without it ever feeling like a push to over-service. You'll hear how Start with Why, the North Star Exercise, and the concept of 90% Better is Not Better completely reframe the rebooking conversation - and why that reframe is the difference between a therapist who gets it and one who quietly resists. Plus Mick shares how his Private Practice Apprenticeship program is giving young physios the confidence and clinical grounding to see patients for the full journey.
If your practitioners are losing patients at visit three or four and you're not sure how to have that conversation without it landing badly, this episode is for you.
