How I Went From Working 60+ Hours While My Therapists Sat In Empty Treatment Rooms... To Building A Self-Managing Clinic That Grew While I Was Away For 2+ Months At A Time At Three Different World Cup Tournaments

My very first clinic was in a small room above a running shop in Huddersfield town centre

It’s 9:47 PM on a Tuesday in early 2016. I sat in my empty clinic doing admin work and realised something that made my stomach turn.

I was working 60+ hours per week, paying qualified therapists to sit in empty treatment rooms, and when I added up all the numbers... I was earning less money than the people I employed.

The "successful" clinic owner was actually the most trapped, exhausted, and financially vulnerable person in the building.

If you're reading this, you probably know exactly how that feels or if you are about to hire your first therapist, then you’ll want to read this page all the way to the end.

My name is David O'Sullivan, and I've been where you are right now.

I've felt the crushing weight of being the expert everyone depends on while secretly feeling like everything could collapse if you stepped away for even a week.

I've experienced the humiliation of spending £2,000 on a banner in the local Sainsburys that brought in exactly ZERO patients.

I've sat through business coaching sessions learning awkward sales scripts that made me feel like a sleazy car salesman rather than a healthcare professional.

And I've laid awake at night terrified that one bad Google review could destroy the reputation I'd spent years building.

"Success had become my prison. Patients only wanted to see me. My reputation is hung by a thread every time my therapists did see a patient. I was anxiously checking their diary after every initial assessment, almost ‘expecting’ the patient not to rebook. Then I’d look at the gaps in their diaries as my therapists sat in empty treatment rooms costing me money while I worked myself into the ground."

But here's what changed everything...

The Phone Call That Changed My Life

Dave O’Sullivan on the field on the rugby world cup and an injured player

In late 2016, I got a phone call to ask me to be the Head Physio for the England Rugby League team in the 2017 World Cup. Only one problem, it meant leaving the clinic for 8 weeks

In early 2017, I received the call every sports physio dreams of.

England Rugby League. World Cup year. Would I join the team as Head Physio?

There was just one problem: I'd be gone for 8+ weeks during the tournament, potentially on the other side of the world.

If my clinic couldn't run without me, I'd return to ruins.

This constraint forced me to create something that had never existed before in my practice... or in any physio clinic I knew of.

I had six months to build a system that would:

  • Keep the clinic running and growing while I was 12,000 miles away
  • Protect our reputation when I couldn't oversee every session
  • Allow me to coach and guide my team remotely (if needed)
  • Ensure patients received consistent, exceptional care
  • Generate predictable revenue without my constant presence

What I discovered during those six months didn't just save my clinic.

It transformed everything I thought I knew about running a physiotherapy practice.

The Marketing Hell That Nearly Destroyed Me

Dave O’Sullivan founder of the ProSport Academy to help therapists feel more capable of growing their business and enhancing their reputation

I wasted over £2,000 on a banner in Sainsbury's and thousands on Google ads trying to fill my therapists diaries in the early days

Before that breakthrough, I did what every desperate clinic owner does.

I threw money at the problem.

£2,000 on a Sainsbury's banner that brought zero patients. Google ads that burned cash faster than I could make it. Business coaching programs that taught me awkward sales scripts.

The worst part?

Those scripts made me feel like a fraud. Here I was, a healthcare professional trying to help people, and I'm being taught to "overcome objections" and "close harder."

It felt disgusting.

My therapists and admin team felt it too. They'd stumble through these rehearsed conversations about packages and payment plans while patients looked uncomfortable.

We all hated it.

I felt like my team was constantly judging me and seeing me as this ‘money hungry’ business owner who didn’t care about the patients.

But I thought this was just "how business worked." To grow, you had to become someone you didn't recognise.

I was wrong.

The Breakthrough: The Four ProSport Questions

The turning point came when I stopped trying to force my therapists to "sell" more sessions using those awful scripts.

Instead, I taught them the same four questions I used with elite athletes:

  • What's the problem?   (Patient-defined, not our clinical assessment)
  • Why did it happen?   (Root cause, not just symptoms)
  • What's the treatment plan?   (Complete journey mapped out)
  • How long will it take?   (Realistic timeline with milestones)

Something miraculous happened.

Patients began rebooking themselves. They felt more confident, not pressured. They understood their journey and were excited to complete it.

And best of all, our admin team were able to simply position the packages as a simple way to save some money, not some big rehearsed sales pitch.

I realised that reassurance really is a painkiller – and having a clear plan IS the start of treatment.

"We were doing less hands-on treatment in the first session but spending more time on whiteboards mapping out the complete treatment plan. Patients were leaving feeling improved and fully bought in. This shocked me."

But the real test was still coming.

The Ultimate Test: World Cup Pressure

Dave O’Sullivan prosport physiotherapist on the field on the rugby world cup and an injured player

In Melbourne, Australia for the first World Cup Game of the 2017 tournament. I was 16,924 km away from my clinic and it was running without me for the first time

September 2017. I flew to Australia not knowing if I'd have a clinic to return to.

For 8+ weeks, my business operated without me. Different time zones. Different hemispheres.

Ultimate pressure.

The result?

We made the World Cup final. And while I was celebrating with the England team, my clinic didn't just survive – it grew.

Every therapist was accountable to patients, themselves, and the clinic. I could coach remotely when needed (which was rarely needed) and sleep peacefully knowing our reputation was protected.

The prison had finally become a REAL business.

From World Cups to COVID:
The System Evolves

Different articles showcasing Dave O’Sullivan founder of the ProSport Academy, World Cup Physio

I went on leave the clinic for multiple weeks at a time to attend the 2019 World Cup in Japan, Six Nations tournaments and the Rugby Championships in Australia and World Cup again in France in 2023

After I got back from Australia in late 2017, I had a new sense of freedom. I was able to take on even more pro sport consultancy roles and got the call from England Rugby Union just before the 2019 World Cup Campaign.

This gave me the opportunity to further refine the system travelling all over Japan with England and then again, with the Wallabies in 2023.

Each time, the clinic continued growing while I worked on the other side of the world.

When COVID hit and the cost of living skyrocketed, making profit became nearly impossible again.

So the system had to evolve further.

I developed the "High Value Patients" marketing messaging approach when we faced price objections that magnetically attracted patients where price was not their primary driver for purchasing.

These “High Value” patients valued other things more than just the cheapest price and we were able to position our clinic in a way that made us the obvious choice without needing to discount our services.

The beauty of this approach is they began to recommend us to their ‘inner circle’ of friends and we became nicely positioned as the ‘premium’ physiotherapy choice in our town.

Halfway through 2023, I purchased ‘ProSport House’ – our permanent base that my children will inherit.

Then the NHS salary bands started to skyrocket and I knew we needed to pivot again…

Salaries for physios in NHS in the UK

NHS salaries for physiotherapists are continuing to rise making it harder than ever for the clinic owner who takes all the risks to make any profit or attract therapists with the real private practice skills needed

Here's the brutal reality that hit every private practice owner:

NHS therapists were now earning £35,000-£45,000+ with pension benefits, paid holidays, and zero business risk.

Meanwhile, private practice owners were paying the same salaries (or more) for therapists who came with deeply ingrained NHS habits that destroyed profitability:

  • Session-by-session mentality   instead of complete treatment planning
  • A ‘hands off’ approach   that rarely works in private practice
  • An inability to make sense of ‘vague’ symptoms   that is the bread and butter of private practice
  • Poor patient communication   that led to early dropoffs
  • No understanding of patient retention   or business metrics
  • Entitlement attitude   without accountability for results

The math was devastating: You're paying premium salaries for therapists who generate 2-3 session averages while your overhead costs climb every month.

That's when I realised the future of private practice would come down to one thing:

The ability to quickly and effectively hire and onboard new, passionate, hungry therapists without any bad habits and transform them into exceptional practitioners.

How To Library created for The Go To Therapists joining the Business Mentorship with Dave O'Sullivan

The ‘Go-To’ Clinic Hub has everything needed for therapists and clinic owners to deliver world class patient defined value outcome care and grow a clinic sustainably

So I created the complete Go-To Clinic Hub with everything needed to develop ANY therapist - regardless of background - into a confident, fully-booked practitioner who could protect and enhance your clinic's reputation.

The system had to solve the "expensive therapist problem" once and for all.

Instead of competing for overpriced NHS therapists with bad habits, we developed a system that could take:

  • Recent graduates with hunger but no experience
  • Career changers with drive but limited clinical background
  • Even experienced therapists willing to unlearn bad habits

And transform them into practitioners who could deliver World Cup-level care while generating sustainable profit for the clinic.

The breakthrough was this: It's easier to teach great habits to someone with no habits than to break bad habits from someone with years of NHS conditioning.

Our system now creates better therapists faster than traditional hiring approaches, while costing significantly less and delivering superior patient outcomes.

The system had to work under every possible pressure – economic downturns, salary inflation, staffing shortages, and reputation risks.

And it did.

Because when you can develop any therapist into a "Go-To" level practitioner, you're never dependent on the job market, salary demands, or someone else's bad habits.

You become the clinic that therapists want to work for, patients want to attend, and other professionals want to refer to.

That's what true business freedom looks like.

And best of all I was able to replicate these exact same results with other REAL clinic owners in similar situations to how I was previously.

Here's What Other Clinic Owners Are Achieving With The 'Go-To' Clinic System…

“I've gone from seeing 20 people per week to helping thousands of patients, with multiple full-time physiotherapists and continual growth. The mentorship gave me the roadmap to become a real leader in our field.”

The Complete 'Go-To' Head Physio Development System

The ProSport House, the physio clinic of Dave O’Sullivan experienced physiotherapist and physio mentor for clinic owners

I bought ProSport House in late 2023. It all started with that one decision in late 2016 to commit to building an ethical clinical system, knowing my numbers and empowering my therapists to keep patients progressing beyond just pain relief.

Here's the truth most clinic owners never realise:

You're not just a business owner. You're not just a therapist.

You're meant to be a Head Physio.

Head Physio work is where the real £10,000 per hour work lies.

The Head Physio and your clinical system that can keep a patient progressing beyond just pain relief is the real ETHICAL profit engine behind ANY ‘Go-To’ Clinic.

A Head Physio is someone who can develop any therapist into a confident, fully-booked practitioner while building systems that run the clinic without your constant involvement.

But here's the problem: no one ever taught you how to become one.

That changes today.

Why Most Therapists Fail In Private Practice (And How We Fix It)

Your therapists more than likely came from the National healthcare setting with habits that destroy private practice success:

  • Scattered and disorganised approach to patient care
  • Can't handle ‘vague’ complex cases with confidence
  • Average at best hands on treatment skills
  • Can't rebook patients beyond 3-4 sessions
  • Can't progress patients beyond initial pain relief
  • Poor communication skills that make patients feel uncertain
  • No systematic approach to treatment planning

The result? Empty diaries, frustrated therapists, and you working 60+ hours trying to see all the patients yourself.

But when we transform these same therapists through our system, something remarkable happens:

They become confident practitioners who can:

  • Handle any complex case that walks through the door
  • Use hands on treatment responsibly with exercise progressions that get results
  • Ethically keep patients progressing beyond just pain relief
  • Become fully booked 'Go-To' physios in their own right
  • Generate consistent referrals and 5-star reviews
  • Protect and enhance your clinic's reputation

The transformation happens in just 90 days or less.

Your Role As Head Physio
(Not Micromanager)

Here's how this works:

We do the heavy lifting - training your therapists through:

  • Complete access to The 'Go-To' Therapist Mentorship System
  • Weekly online group coaching calls with my own clinics Head Physio
  • In-person skills days for hands-on development
  • 24/7 access to our Difficult Patients Forum for complex cases

You become the Head Physio who:

  • Uses our dashboard systems to track the right numbers
  • Focuses on the right issues at the right time
  • Coaches therapists using our proven frameworks
  • Creates behavior change without feeling like the "bad guy"
  • Builds a self-managing clinic that runs without you

The 10-Step Head Physio Development Process

The 10-Step Head Physio Development Process

At the click of a button, anywhere in the world, I am able to track my patient journey and therapist's performance. This gives me great confidence to continue to grow

This is the exact system I used to develop therapists who could maintain our clinic's reputation while I worked at three World Cup tournaments:

Step 1: Install Patient Defined Value Outcomes Culture

Your therapists learn to base treatment plans on what patients actually want to achieve, not just clinical findings. This automatically increases retention and reduces that "money-hungry" feeling.

Step 2: Decide On The Clinical Standards

We establish the specific metrics that define excellence in your clinic - rebooking rates, patient visit averages, and outcome measures that matter, all agreed by your team.

Step 3: Install The Initial Assessment Mastery And Follow Up Mastery Frameworks

Therapists learn the ProSport approach to mapping out complete treatment journeys that patients get excited about following while still maintaining their treatment autonomy.

Step 4: Install The Head Physio Dashboards

You get real-time visibility into exactly where each therapist excels and where they need support - no more guessing or awkward conversations.

Step 5: Understand How To Analyse The Head Physio Numbers

Learn to read the data like a pro sport Head Physio - identifying patterns, predicting problems, and making strategic interventions.

Step 6: Understand The Therapists Point Of View And How to Create Behaviour Change

Master the psychology of coaching therapists who want to help patients, not hit revenue targets. Create alignment between their values and clinic success.

Step 7: Notes Audits

Systematic review processes that ensure treatment plans align with patient-defined outcomes while protecting your reputation.

Step 8: Install In-Service Training Framework For Dealing With Tricky Cases

Weekly case review systems that develop your team's expertise while building confidence with complex patients that ensure you actually get a positive return on your investment for the time blocked off in the therapist’s diaries each week.

Step 9: Assess Therapists Capabilities To Start Fast With Patients

Proven evaluation methods to identify who's ready for complex cases and who needs additional support. Assess your therapists seamlessly and have the Head Physio systems do all the heavy lifting for you so you don’t need to feel ‘awkward’ giving feedback.

Step 10: Monthly 1-1s Where Therapists Present Their Numbers And Plans

Transform your therapists into accountable professionals who take ownership of their CPD development and results. Enjoy leading self-managing therapists who feel fulfilled in their roles and help drive your clinic growth.

The Three Unique ‘Go-To’ Clinic Systems That Create Your Freedom

The Three Unique ‘Go-To’ Clinic Systems

The Head Physio Dashboard tells you what the problem is. The 6 Stages of the Patient Journey tells you where the problem is and the Patient Defined Value Outcomes tells you exactly WHY there is a problem and what support your therapist needs help with next

1. Patient Defined Value Outcomes This holds therapists accountable to what patients actually want to achieve. No more awkward "sales" conversations - the treatment plan sells itself because it's built around the patient's own goals.

2. The Customer Journey Dashboard Shows you exactly where patients drop off in their journey so you can fix problems before they become reputation disasters.

3. The Head Physio Dashboard Identifies which therapist needs support with which part of the patient journey. No more wondering why diaries are empty - you know exactly what to fix and how.

While others will often imitate our work, there is a world of difference from ‘knowing to understanding’ these key systems and how they really work together.

The problem in this very scenario that happens to many therapists that try to ‘wing it’ is that knowing is NOT understanding.

You can know something without understanding it.

Only understanding shows up in your behaviours and ultimately, your therapists and patient results.

While academia rewards you for what you know, your patients reward you (by staying the full course of treatment even when the pain eases) for what your therapists DO!

What Head Physio Success
Actually Looks Like

Martin & Julie Loughran implemented our Head Physio system and:

  • Reduced their personal treatment hours to 3 days per week
  • Increased revenue by 200% through better therapist performance
  • 5x'd their team size with confident, capable practitioners
  • Created systems where issues are flagged weekly but rarely occur

Liz Cummins went from solo practitioner to Head Physio and:

  • Built a professional clinic with multiple therapists
  • Established reliable admin team
  • Created predictable revenue systems
  • Built a business that serves her lifestyle while raising three kids

The transformation happens because:

  • Better trained therapists = patients happy to see anyone on your team
  • Clear systems = you can coach from data, not emotion
  • Accountable team = clinic runs smoothly whether you're there or not
  • Confident staff = you can finally take real holidays and finally ‘switch off’

Your Complete Head Physio Toolkit

When you join the 'Go-To' Clinic Mentorship, you get everything needed to develop into the Head Physio your clinic needs:

The 'Go-To' Therapist Mentorship System Complete training program that transforms any therapist into a confident practitioner who can handle complex cases and keep patients progressing.

And Best Of All…Once You're A Confident Head Physio: The Seamless Hiring Revolution

Head Physio Systems onboarding guide for The Go To Therapists joining the Business Mentorship with Dave O'Sullivan

The Head Physio Onboarding system has allowed us to take any new grad therapist with the right willingness and people skills and turn them into highly skilled private practice therapists in less than 90 days without hours and hours of time consuming 1-1 training

Here's what becomes possible once you master the Head Physio role:

You can hire and onboard new therapists without spending 50+ hours training each one.

Because here is the reality most clinic owners face when hiring:

You spend weeks training new therapists, only to watch them struggle with patient retention, feel overwhelmed by complex cases, and ultimately leave or underperform.

Meanwhile, you're working extra hours to cover their learning curve while praying they don't damage your reputation in the process.

There's a better way.

How Our System Transforms Hiring From Nightmare To Simple Process

When you join the 'Go-To' Clinic Mentorship, we first help you get crystal clear on your personal vision and the exact plan to achieve it:

Traditional Hiring Process:

  • Spend 2-3 weeks personally training each new therapist
  • Hope they "get" your approach through osmosis
  • Cross your fingers they won't drive patients away
  • Work extra hours while they find their feet
  • Often end up disappointed with results

The 'Go-To' Clinic Hiring Process:

  • New therapists get immediate access to our complete training system
  • They learn the proven framework that already works in your clinic
  • They start confident from day one with systematic approach
  • You focus on coaching their numbers, not teaching basics
  • They hit clinical standards within 90 days, guaranteed

The "Plug-And-Play" Therapist Development

Here's what happens when you hire with our system:

Week 1-2: Foundation Installation

  • New hire gets complete access to The 'Go-To' Therapist Mentorship System
  • They learn the same clinical framework your existing team uses
  • Access to weekly group coaching calls with our clinical experts
  • 24/7 support through our Difficult Patients Forum

Week 3-4: Clinical Integration

  • Patient Defined Value Outcomes training ensures they focus on what matters
  • Initial Assessment and Follow-Up Mastery frameworks give them structure
  • Head Physio Dashboard tracking shows exactly where they need support

Week 5-8: Performance Optimization

  • Monthly 1-1s using proven frameworks (not awkward conversations)
  • Notes audits ensure quality without micromanaging
  • In-service training for complex cases builds confidence quickly

Week 9-12: Full Integration

  • Hitting clinical standards: 90%+ rebooking rates, 6+ session averages
  • Confident with complex cases that previously scared them
  • Contributing meaningfully to clinic revenue and reputation

What This Means For You As Head Physio

Instead of spending 50+ hours training each new hire, you:

  • Let our proven system do the teaching while you focus on coaching
  • Use dashboard data to guide development conversations
  • Have clear standards and metrics rather than subjective feelings
  • Can hire more confidently knowing the training system works
  • Scale your team without burning yourself out in the process

The result? You can hire 2-3 therapists in the time it used to take to train one, because the system handles the heavy lifting while you provide strategic guidance.

The "Insurance Policy" For Your Reputation

Here's what clinic owners fear most about hiring: "What if they damage my reputation?"

Our system eliminates this risk because:

Every new hire learns the same proven framework that's worked at the high pressure World Cup level and in hundreds of clinics.

Clear clinical standards mean you know exactly what good performance looks like.

Real-time tracking alerts you to any issues before they become reputation problems.

Systematic support ensures struggling therapists get help, not criticism.

Built-in quality control through notes audits and case reviews.

The result? You can hire with confidence, knowing your new team members will enhance rather than risk your reputation.

This System Is For Clinic Owners Who Want To Become Professional Head Physios And Have The Freedom To Treat Patients On Their Terms

Perfect if you:

  • Currently treat 20+ patients per week and want to step back strategically
  • Want to hire and onboard your first or next therapist and ‘do it properly’
  • Have therapists but struggle with inconsistent performance
  • Want to build a team you can trust with your reputation
  • Want to hire younger therapists while protecting your reputation
  • Need systems to coach and develop staff effectively
  • Want to work ON your business, not just IN it
  • Are ready to implement proven frameworks rather than winging it

Not right if you:

  • Want to maintain control of every clinical decision
  • Prefer to keep treating most patients yourself
  • Aren't willing to invest time in team development
  • Want quick fixes rather than systematic transformation
  • Don't want to track performance metrics

The Truth About Freedom In Private Practice

Dave O’Sullivan experienced physiotherapist with clinics in the UK and his family

My daughters Ava May and Ruby Rae. Having freedom is at the forefront of everything I do when building my businesses

Here's what real freedom looks like:

Time to work on the business - strategic planning, growth initiatives, and long-term vision rather than day-to-day firefighting.

More time with family- evenings and weekends that belong to you, not your clinic.

Ability to maintain your own health - time to train, rest, and recharge without clinic stress.

Real holidays - where the clinic continues generating revenue and maintaining reputation without your involvement and you get to finally ‘switch off’.

Professional satisfaction - pride in building something bigger than yourself that develops other professionals and serves more patients.

The connection is simple: better trained staff = owner freedom.

When you can trust any therapist to deliver exceptional care, you stop thinking "I'll just see this patient myself" and start building a real business.

That's what being a Head Physio gives you.

I can make this guarantee because the system has been pressure-tested during three World Cup tournaments and hundreds of clinic owners and over a thousand therapists have successfully implemented these exact methods. When you follow the process, the results are predictable. If you're ready to do the work required to transform your practice, I'm ready to guarantee the results.

A Final Thought...

Ten years ago, I was just like you – working too many hours, stressed about the business, missing family time.

Today, I have a thriving clinic that operates successfully whether I'm there or working with international rugby teams on the other side of the world.

The difference isn't talent or luck.

It's having the right systems in place and knowing how to develop people.

If you're ready to build the practice – and life – you deserve, I'd be honored to show you how.
