Working In Private Practice Is Tough!
I Know Exactly What It Feels Like To Be Unable To Switch Off At Night Constantly Stressing About Patients & Growing Your Practice Ethically
Starting out in my own private practice I was shocked at how high patient expectations were.
I found it harder to get results in private practice than I did in pro sport.
Being a ‘well known’ pro sport physio expected to have all the answers. I had massive imposter syndrome.
I found it hard to ask patients to come back again for more sessions that I knew they ethically needed because there was money changing hands at the end of sessions.
I also relied a lot on my hands-on treatment because I thought that was what my patients really wanted.
Some patients would do ok for a few sessions but then progress would stagnate.
They would drop off, never to be seen or heard from again.
In 2015 when I decided to leave pro sport and go ‘full time’ in private practice…
I knew I needed to change my approach if I wanted to ethically fill my practice in the hours I wanted to work so I could still have time for my family.
My mentor suggested to me that I write out what I did in pro sport differently to private practice so that I could replicate the same great results I was getting in pro sport.
The answer was obvious.
When an athlete gets injured, the coach and athlete usually want to know 4 things…
-
- What’s The Problem?
- How Long Will It Take To Get Back?
- Why Did It Happen?
- What’s The Plan?
I was just going session to session in private practice.
The patient didn’t have any plan or idea whatsoever when the end goal would be achieved.
If I was ever going to keep patients progressing long enough to get the results we both wanted…
I had to step outside of my comfort zone and set expectations in the first session.
I went all in using a ‘ProSport Approach’.
And from that moment onwards in the first session I outlined the problem, the solution, the treatment plan and how many sessions I thought it would take…
…just like I would with my head coach on a daily basis in pro sport.
It was scary at first yet something amazing happened.
I was spending more time on the ‘explanation’ in the initial assessment and less time doing hands-on treatment YET patients were leaving just as happy.
The patient almost had a sense of relief after the ‘Pro Sport Explanation’.
They could see a clear plan in place and had a sense of relief that they were going to be ok.
I realised patients ‘trust a therapist with a plan’ far more than therapists going from session to session.
Patients were getting less hands-on treatment but leaving even happier.
In fact, I reduced my follow up sessions from 45 to 30 minutes.
Patients are not only actively engaged in the process but addicted to hitting the next milestone on the graph.
I was clear, calm, focused and back to my ‘pro sport self’, except this time in private practice.
Yet what happened next shocked me most of all…
Around session 3-4 when the pain is beginning to ease is usually where I found my patients were dropping off…
Now in session 3-4, even when the pain was easing patients were asking me the magic question:
“What’s the next milestone we need to hit this week?”
They knew there was more work to do to get to their dream outcome…
AND..
…they were ‘selling me’ on why they needed to come back next week rather than me feeling ‘salesy’ asking them to come back the following week even though the pain was easing.
I was able to FINALLY use my pro sport skills and bridge the gap from low to high level rehab…
… And get them to the ‘thoughtless, fearless, movement’ level of graded exposure plan
The Patient’s Confidence And Self-belief Went Through The Roof…
Their confidence in their own bodies skyrocketed. And that’s when it happened… Word of mouth started spreading like wildfire.
I finally understood what a ‘raving fan’ was, but more importantly how to predictably create one time and time again.
Bridging the gap from low to high level rehab and getting the patient to the ‘thoughtless, fearless, movement’ stage of the graded exposure ladder was the ‘secret sauce’…
…to grow a private practice predictably!
I quickly increased my patient numbers and the rest is history…
a full time practice manager… 1 full time admin staff… a part time admin staff member…
1 head physio part time (Shane)
3 physiotherapists
2 sports therapists
All the while replicating these results with over 850 therapists in 30+ countries all over the world and I’d mentor you to do the same.

At the ProSport Academy, we know you want to be a calm, confident leader of a fully booked ‘Go-To’ Clinic.
In order to do that, you need to keep your (or your therapists) diary fully booked of happy progressing patients.

We believe every ethical therapist should be able to build a fully booked ‘Go-To’ Clinic the right way with happy progressing patients while still having time for your family!
We understand it is not just about the money but feeling fulfilled knowing you are giving your patients value and making a difference in their lives which is why we have trained over 850 therapists in over 30 countries to have fully booked practices of happy progressing patients.
Here is how we do it:
1. You will make sense of the patient’s true problem by asking higher quality questions
2. You will have the clarity to confidently explain the problem, solution and plan to the patient.
3. You will prescribe the right exercises at the right time to keep your patient progressing all the way to a raving fan that refers their friends and family to you.
So, schedule your Free Mentorship Call below so you can stop worrying about always having to find new patients and finally look after your own health and switch off at night being present with your family.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is this program different to others?
This program is not just about improving your subjective, objective, pain science explanation, hands on treatment techniques, rehab techniques and high level return to play protocols. It is about understanding the WHY a joint has decreased range of motion or WHY a glute medius muscle is not contributing efficiently specific to that person.
It is about giving you the confidence and clarity while also giving you structure from session 1 to session 4-6 with your patient and being able to continually make progress in every session.
What if I’ve just graduated and starting out on my own?
This is the perfect way to get mentorship from an early stage in both clinical and business settings so you don’t have to make the same mistakes Dave made. Infact, Dave was really lucky to learn from two brilliant mentors which he accounts so much of his early success to.
This sounds complicated. Is it difficult to get results?
This approach is a logical common sense structure that helps you apply the evidence base and make sense of things. It is delivered via both video and text so whatever way you learn best, we have got you covered. The length of the video lessons to the cheat sheets to how Dave teaches is all designed specifically to help you implement the content and get real world results fast.
I don’t have much time at the moment, should I wait a bit before joining the program?
The therapist mentorship requires 1 hour per week to consume the content for 12 weeks or half hour per week if you want to consume it over 6 months. A small lifestyle change of getting up 1 hour earlier on a particular day will easily solve your ‘time’ requirements’.
If you do not have the motivation and desire to prioritise one hour a week for 12 weeks to transform your career then please do not apply.
If you do have the motivation then we will help you focus and protect your time inside the members area to grow a profitable business.
What if I can’t attend a workshop?
If you cannot attend the 2 day Refresher workshop in your year of taking the mentorship, then you can simply attend the following year or year after. Once you are in the therapist mentorship community, you are part of the family and will do everything we can to help you have a great experience.
What if I'm NOT a chartered physiotherapist and don't work in sport?
We have physiotherapists, physical therapists, sports therapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, sports massage therapists, strength coaches, athletic trainers and even podiatrists inside the Therapist Mentorship.
EVERYTHING that is taught in the Therapist Mentorship can be applied both in the private practice and sporting setting.
Indeed at ProSport Physiotherapy, Dave’s own private practice, we use this content with 70 year female patients as well as professional athletes. We see the person and not the injury.
Will this work with any patient in private practice, sport or national healthcare outpatient setting?
Yes. This way of assessing and treating is first and foremost focused on the person in front of you. The level of exposure to loading will be specific to the person in front of you and their needs but we treat using the exact same system for private practice patients as well as pro sport athletes.
How long will I have access to the materials?
You will have lifetime access to the core mentorship content. We see the members area as a reference library that you should be able to go back to time and time again if you have any patients that you need help with. Any improvements Dave makes from mistakes or successes in the real world will be updated as Dave sees fit so you have access to the cutting edge system he is using on a day to day basis in the real world.
What happens when you update your mentorship material in the future?
Dave is never happy with where he is at and still striving to reach that elusive ‘clinical excellence’ status. At times we update, improve or find easier ways to apply the evidence and content to get even better results, you will receive updates to the mentorship. This mentorship is constantly evolving and once you’re in, you’re in.
Will I be able to claim money back on my taxes?
This will be specific to your country but most therapists will be able to claim VAT back if VAT registered and/or put the mentorship course as expenses towards their end of year tax bill. Please check with your accountant and your country’s terms.
Will I be able to use this course towards my CPD?
The mentorship course is backed by a bibliography of evidence based literature from various sectors and everything taught in the mentorship is referenced and available on request. The mentorship is recognised by various PT boards in the U.S and other countries when therapists require proof of attendance. If you require recognition for your profession, you will be able to access the necessary files we have put together to make your life easy in applying for credits.
Who is this course NOT for?
This course is not for those therapists looking for cookie cutter approaches. While we supply you with key performance indicator ‘cheatsheets’ before every progression, the ‘WHY’, specific to the person in front of you is the most important thing to understand and this, combined with the structure we help you build in your assessment, treatment and rehab is the real value of the mentorship program.
Therapists who are only interested in ‘patient numbers’. We see every patient at a person. If money is your only motivator then please do not apply. The foundation of everything we do is based on clinical skills and getting long lasting results with patients.
Who is this course for?
This course is perfect for you if you can yes to any one of these:
You own your own Private practice or are in charge of a team of therapists who look to you for guidance or advice
You’ve just started your practice or about to in the next 24 months – and want to ensure you go about building a solid ‘word of mouth’ clinic that is never short of patients

You already work in professional sport and want to consolidate your system and put some structure to it to further improve your confidence with return to play programs for your athletes
You are a highly skilled sports physiotherapist or sports therapist – and want to be able to help more people with those skills and get to the next level quicker
You are a clinician that is starting out and don’t want to ‘figure this stuff out’ or ‘make numerous mistakes’ on your own over the next few years and want real world results right now
You realise that you need guidance and coaching to reach your full potential as a therapist (Something I was extremely lucky to get from an early point in my career)
You’re frustrated at the lack of results with certain conditions
You are already highly successful but you want to take things to the next level
You want to make more money
You would like to free up your time – more reward for less effort
You want to create the success you deserve by mastering the most important skills there are – Breathing, Moving, Healing
