For physical therapy clinic owners

Your patients are telling you how your clinic could grow.

Klini turns consultation conversations into richer patient understanding and actionable clinic insights — showing where care, relationships, operations and capacity could improve, and where new opportunities are opening up.

Bring a question your current tools can’t answer.

Illustrative conversations and clinic figures.

Growth opportunities occur in everyday conversations.

One conversation can reveal several ways to improve your clinic. Explore the questions in your patients’ words.

A referral reveals more than its source
“Someone at my running club recommended you. I actually booked a running assessment somewhere else last month — I didn’t know you did those. We’ve all started training for our first half marathon.”
Patient’s wordsIllustrative conversation
Select a question to highlight the words behind it.

For your patients. Your practitioners. Your clinic.

Understand each patient, support each practitioner, and learn from conversations across your clinic. The same consultation contributes at all three levels.

Practitioners review notes and proposed patient context before they enter the record or inform clinic insights.

  1. Your patients

    Patient Context

    Anyone on your team can pick this patient up from here.

    Goals, routines and questions still to ask stay with the patient record. A colleague covering today—or the same clinician returning later—can start with what already matters.

    Personal development
    Observed in the conversation

    You found an alternative when the gym changed.

    Patient’s situation

    The leg press was broken; queues made the squat rack difficult before work. Jordan had skipped strength days.

    Your response

    You agreed dumbbell split squats and step-downs, checked free-weight access, and planned a form check.

    Clinic Dashboard + Ask Klini

    See the patterns across your whole clinic.

    See clinic-wide patterns in the dashboard, then ask Klini a specific question about what patients are telling you. The dashboard describes patterns; Ask Klini interprets the evidence to answer your question.

    Running clubs, for your running know-how.

    39 of 214 new patients came through a running club. Your intake form just says “word of mouth”.

    One latest recorded next-step classification per patient, as at 28 September. Five categories partition all 148 people. An agreed ending, a chosen pause, an unbooked follow-up and an unknown next step have different meanings; none is automatically churn.

    Owner perspective

    Start with one question: does the available roster match patient requests, and are existing services easy to find?

    Clinic fixture & data boundaries

    All figures are authored for this illustration. Appointment activity and capacity use a diary sample; conversation counts use a separate authored patient-theme summary for the same clinic window. No live practice system is connected.

    Next steps are a current partition as at 28 September; referral sources cover 36 first-time patients; primary goals partition 148 people. Service enquiries, practical constraints and administration topics overlap.
