The challenges facing soft tissue therapists

  • Three to five sessions, then nothing

    The patient gets better and disappears, which is the point. But it means a practice lives on its new arrivals, and a slot that cannot be booked online is a patient who will never come.

  • The phone rings during treatments

    Forty-five minutes with your hands on someone, six times a day. The phone rings into the void and the new patient calls the practice down the road.

  • Monday morning acute cases

    Something that seized up at the weekend wants an appointment on Monday, not Thursday. One slot kept free each morning fills itself and builds more loyalty than anything else.

  • Fifteen minutes between patients is not a luxury

    Notes, airing, the waiting room. Without them, the first appointment's delay is still there at 7pm.

  • A short series of sessions goes in all at once

    A fortnight apart, three times. Rebooked one by one they drift, and the benefit spreads too thin.

Practical guide: Soft tissue therapists

  1. The booking page open day and night. It is the first channel for a practice that lives on new patients.
  2. Keep one or two acute slots open each morning, visible only on the day.
  3. Fifteen minutes of buffer between treatments, which the diary never sells.
  4. The series booked from the first session, at whatever interval you judge useful.
  5. A reminder the night before. On sessions a fortnight apart, it holds the whole series.
  6. A "what is wrong and since when" field: the appointment starts where it should.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a soft tissue therapy session cost?

Around £45 to £80 for an hour, and £40 to £65 for a shorter follow-up. Set your own prices.

Is soft tissue therapy regulated in the UK?

No, and the contrast with neighbouring trades is the thing to understand. "Osteopath", "chiropractor" and "physiotherapist" are titles protected by law, and using them without registration is a criminal offence. Soft tissue, sports and remedial massage therapy is not regulated: no licence, no protected title. The Sports Massage Association, the Institute of Sport and Remedial Massage and the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council set voluntary standards, and accredited training is what insurers require before writing treatment cover. Two limits follow: do not offer diagnosis, and do not describe yourself in terms that imply a protected title. Premises may need a council licence, and in a London borough a special treatment licence applies.

Can I keep slots for acute cases?

Yes, by opening short slots visible only on the day.

Can I block time between patients?

Yes, with buffer time the diary never sells.

Can I book a series of sessions in one go?

Yes, with recurring bookings.

Can I be booked outside my opening hours?

Yes. The page takes bookings day and night for the slots you have opened.
