Social media for clinics

Social media for physiotherapy, chiropractic and massage clinics

Patients look at a clinic's Instagram and Facebook to see who works there and whether the place feels right. Tekton creates simple, useful content that introduces your practitioners and shares general education, inside your college's advertising standards.

In one line: social media for a clinic means introducing your practitioners, sharing general education and clinic news on Instagram, Facebook and your Google profile, with no outcome promises or patient stories or individual advice, so your clinic feels approachable and stays compliant.

Where patients look

We focus on the channels your patients use.

For most clinics that means Google Business Profile, Facebook and Instagram. We choose the one or two that fit your patients, and we keep replies and messages inside your privacy obligations.

What is social media for in a clinic?

For a clinic it is mostly reassurance. A prospective patient wants to see that the place is active, that the practitioners are real people and that the clinic does what it says. A few well-made posts do that. Search remains the main way new patients find a clinic, and social media supports it.

It also helps existing patients. A reminder about holiday hours, a new practitioner announcement or a clear post about what a first visit involves saves the front desk calls and keeps the clinic in mind.

What does clinic content look like?

Practitioner introductions

Short profiles with a photo, the practitioner's profession and what they enjoy working on, so patients know who they would see.

General education

Posts about common topics, such as posture at a desk or how a first assessment works, written for the public and never as individual advice.

Clinic news and hours

New hours, holiday closures, new services, new practitioners and community events, posted on all channels at once.

Google profile posts

Regular updates on your Google Business Profile, so the listing looks current to people who find you on the map.

Team and community moments

Staff milestones and local sponsorships and charity events, which give the clinic a human face.

Safe comment and message handling

A written rule for replies that never discusses care in public, and an alert so questions get a quick, private answer.

How do we keep social content compliant?

Ontario's health colleges set advertising standards for their members, and social posts count as advertising. So we avoid cure claims, outcome guarantees, before-and-after stories and patient testimonials unless your college clearly allows them. General education stays general. We do not diagnose in captions, and we do not reply to health questions in comments. Those are invited to book an assessment or call.

Consent matters too. A patient's photo or name or story is never posted without written permission, and we avoid showing patients at all in most cases. Every batch is approved by you before it is scheduled, and practitioners review any educational post touching their area. A practical starting point is how often to post on social media.

What does a typical month look like?

A typical month includes one or two practitioner introductions, a couple of general education posts, clinic news such as hours or new services and a few Google profile updates. Posts are short and calm and consistent with your brand.

You share a few photos of the team or space, plus any news. We draft everything else. Each post goes to you for approval, and educational posts go to the relevant practitioner as well. Nothing goes live without sign-off. We also keep a short list of topics that are off-limits, such as treatment results and specific conditions in individual cases, so the page stays useful and within your college's standards.

How does this fit the Growth Engine seat?

Social is one track in the Growth seat, next to local SEO, the website, reviews and booking. It gives the profile and the site fresh material. The build is a one-time investment, then the monthly seat. See the packages page.

This is our founding-client guarantee. The monthly seat is waived until the engine produces the agreed number of new tracked enquiries (tracked calls and booking-form requests from the channels we build) within 90 days of go-live. Paid ads are excluded, and you answer or return the calls that come in. The build is paid and yours either way. We never promise rankings or bookings or revenue.

Common questions

Can we post patient success stories?

Only where your college clearly allows it and the patient has consented in writing. Our default is to leave them out.

Who approves the posts?

You do, in a monthly batch, with practitioner review for educational topics.

Do you answer patients' health questions in comments?

No. We invite them to book or call, and keep anything clinical out of public channels.

Which platform should a clinic use?

Usually Google Business Profile plus Facebook or Instagram, depending on your patients. We skip the rest.
