The Great Physio Shake-Up with Katie Knapton and Physio First
Q: What is your stance on AI and its impact on private physiotherapy?
AI should be embraced as a tool to assist clinicians—improving efficiency, triage, and note-taking—while ensuring the human, empathic, and evidence-based aspects of care remain central, with clinicians staying current on best practices.
The Great Physio Shake-Up with Katie Knapton and Physio First
Q: How is Physio First helping graduates transition into private practice?

The Great Physio Shake-Up with Katie Knapton and Physio First
Q: What do you say to private clinic owners who feel Physio First is out of touch?
I emphasize forward momentum, streamlined leadership, agile responses, and concrete offerings like the 24-7 legal helpline, CPD access, graduate programs, and business webinars which demonstrate ongoing value and practical support for running a private practice.
Making Money the Uncommercial Way - Innovation, and the Myth of the “Golden Goose”
Q: Can you name a few innovative things you've done in the clinic?
The guest describes partnerships like a martial-arts–based program for neuro patients, VR-assisted rehab, and community collaborations with charities to subsidize sessions, all aimed at improving outcomes and accessibility.
