You don’t need a huge ad budget to fill your schedule.

In this episode, Doc Danny shares 7 totally free ways to start getting patients—fast. These tactics are perfect if you're in the early stages of your clinic, trying to get scrappy, or just moved to a new area. He breaks them down in under 7 minutes, with no fluff—just practical, actionable steps.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

✔️ Join Local Networking Groups – Whether it’s a BNI, chamber of commerce, or local business meetup, get out there and talk to people. Build real relationships. Practice your pitch.

✔️ Post (and Engage) on Social Media – Consistency beats perfection. Create helpful content for your avatar and engage with others. Like, comment, share, and start meaningful conversations.

✔️ Run Local Education Events – Teach what you know. Workshops on squat form, running mechanics, injury prevention—whatever your niche is. It builds trust and authority fast.

✔️ Offer Injury Screens – Quick, 15-minute mobility or movement assessments after workshops or at community events are a great way to convert interested people into paying patients.

✔️ Be Part of the Community (Not Just a Salesperson) – Want to work with runners? Go run. Join clubs, attend events. Be a human first. Relationships > pitches.

✔️ Become a Go-To in Facebook Groups – Answer questions, share value, and be generous. Don’t pitch. Let the DMs come to you by being genuinely helpful.

✔️ Ask for Referrals the Right Way – When your patients win, celebrate them—and ask if they know someone else you could help. Be direct, honest, and specific.

🧠 Pro Tip from Doc Danny:

“If you do the right work consistently, patients will come. The only way this doesn’t work is if you quit too early.”
