Welcome

Hello and welcome to this week’s episode of the Treat Your Business podcast. I’m so excited for today’s conversation because we’re continuing on from a couple of recent episodes about the shift in patient behaviour, what people want more of now in their rehabilitation and care, and why trust and choice matter.

This one is a little different from our usual strict business advice. It’s about what’s changing in the industry, the exciting developments in medical technology, what is being taught at university, and what our new graduates may be expecting from us inside our clinics.

Episode Summary

I’m joined again by Liz Clare and Dr Anna Schreiner to talk about what is happening with MBST, why demand is rising, and what the future could look like for conservative care.

We cover MBST’s expansion into new countries, why more patients want to avoid surgery, and how MBST can complement other modalities already used in clinic. We also talk about education and access in the UK, including the University of East London project and why community programmes and research matter.

Key Takeaways

• More patients are questioning the ‘default’ options and looking for conservative care.
• MBST is expanding internationally, with growing interest in regenerative approaches.
• UK demand is rising, alongside a bigger push for education and research.
• The University of East London project is focused on learning, data, and community access.
• MBST can complement existing clinic toolboxes rather than replace them.

Today I’m joined by Nicola, my COO in Thrive, and we’re getting into a topic that can feel a bit uncomfortable, but it is one of the most important conversations you can have if you want your clinic to grow.

Episode Summary
In this episode, Nicola and I talk about the things clinic owners tolerate that quietly erode performance over time. We explore why leadership can feel triggering, especially if you have come from workplaces where leadership looked more like dictating, bullying, or conflict.

We also talk about how easy it is to swing too far the other way. Wanting to be liked, avoiding difficult conversations, and telling yourself you do not have time can all become patterns that keep you stuck.

• If you keep discussing the same person, you have tolerated it too long.
• Avoidance often looks like empathy, but it drains you and the business.
• Most “team problems” are unclear expectations.
• If you are not tracking numbers, nobody is.
• Set simple KPIs per role, for therapists: conversion, visits, occupancy.
• Check process and training before blaming the person.
• Lead tough chats with curiosity, not aggression.
• Leadership is learned, get support and practise it.
• Your clinic grows as your leadership grows.

Welcome

In today’s episode of Treat Your Business, I’m joined by Anna, a pelvic health clinic owner and a client inside my Thrive Activate programme. Anna shares the moment she seriously considered going back to the NHS after 12 years away, after her clinic hit a sudden quiet month and the panic set in.

This is a real conversation about what it feels like when income dips, confidence wobbles, and you start questioning everything, plus what changed once Anna decided to get support and build a plan.

Episode Summary

Anna opened her clinic in late 2021. Early on, things went well, but she was undercharging and relying on organic growth. Then she hit a month where it was totally dead and she started thinking, “Do I just go back to the NHS?”

She shares how she tried to fix things by working harder and doing more research, but without knowing her numbers or having a strategy, the good months and bad months felt random.

We talk about what finally made her book the call, what it felt like joining Thrive, and why the weekly Q and As, monthly pods, and quarterly strategy days helped her stop feeling isolated and start making confident decisions.

Anna also shares the practical changes she made, including introducing treatment plans and packages, getting clear on her numbers, and bringing in support like a VA and an accountant. Now she’s consistently fully booked and stepping into the next stage: building a team so she can reach more women and expand services.

Key Takeaways

• A quiet month can trigger panic when your income feels unpredictable.
• Knowing your numbers and having a plan reduces overwhelm.
• Packages and treatment plans can create steadier income and better patient buy in.
• Support roles (VA, accountant) protect your capacity when the clinic gets busy.
• Community matters. Being around peers who get it makes growth feel possible.
