Joe Sharp, physiotherapist and clinic owner

I’ve built my clinics. Now I help you build yours.

A former Head Physiotherapist in professional football, I grew Sharp Physiotherapy from one bed in a garden summer house into three cash-pay clinics.

The Story

From a shed to seven figures

“It was never just about a bigger clinic. It’s about building an extraordinary career, clinic and life.”

Joe spent 15 years as a physiotherapist, the first of them in professional football, working across several Football League clubs and rising to Head Physiotherapist, before leaving the game to start Sharp Physiotherapy.

It started in a summer house at the bottom of his garden, treating a couple of patients, then a single rented room at the back of a chiropractic clinic. Seven years on, Sharp Physiotherapy is a seven-figure, cash-pay practice with three clinics across the East Midlands and North of England and a team of 15.

What makes that rare: those clinics sit in some of the most economically challenged areas in the UK, former mining towns rather than Harley Street, and compete against physiotherapy that’s free on the NHS. Same premium rates, and more demand than there are appointments.

Growing it taught Joe that clinical skill doesn’t build a business; business and marketing skill does. So he built the assets the clinic needed to run and grow without him: NoteSense, an AI note-taking, KPI and coaching tool for clinicians, and PhysioLeads, an all-in-one marketing system.

Today Joe works with clinic owners around the world, through NoteSense, PhysioLeads and one-to-one coaching, helping physios build extraordinary careers, clinics and lives.

Testimonials

What they’re saying

★★★★★

“After leaving my role with a large healthcare company, the prospect of starting my own self-employed private physiotherapy business felt extremely daunting.

Working with Joe over a 9-month period was invaluable. He helped me develop confidence in running the business, managing patients effectively, and implementing better systems and structure.

I now feel far more confident, organised, and in control, with a clearer direction and a more consistent flow of new patients. I cannot recommend Joe highly enough to anyone starting or growing their own business, or to clinic owners who feel they are not achieving the level of growth they had expected.”

Testimonials

What they’re saying

★★★★★

“After discussing at length with Joe my desire to leave my role within professional football, he provided me with so much confidence to make that next step into my own private clinic.

The prospect of starting my own private physiotherapy business and leaving behind an attractive monthly salary felt extremely daunting.

However, he helped me to develop confidence in running my own business and to implement the systems and assets needed to grow a cash-pay physiotherapy clinic.

I now feel confident, organised, and in control, and have a business that is profitable and has a more consistent flow of new patients.”
