Being called a maalish service costs you both your fee and your referrals.
What does YouTube want from a physiotherapist account?

How does YouTube decide who sees a post?
YouTube decides almost everything on click-through rate and average view duration. It shows your thumbnail to a small test group, watches how many click and how long they stay, then widens or quietly stops. Search still matters for how-to, price and comparison topics in Urdu, where competition is far thinner than in English. Shorts run on a separate loop that rewards full watches and rewatches, not subscribers. Most real growth for Pakistani channels comes from Suggested, sitting beside a bigger channel's video.
Formats, lengths, caption limits and the best posting windows in Pakistan Standard Time are the same whatever trade you are in, so they live in one place rather than being repeated on every guide.

Should physiotherapy clinics be anywhere else?
YouTube first. After it is running steadily, these are the next platforms worth your time in this trade — in this order.
| Platform | Priority | How often | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| TikTok | #1 | 4 to 5 videos a week | Movement is the product, and a 30-second exercise demonstration is the most shareable thing this trade can possibly make. |
| #3 | 3 Reels a week plus stories | Desk workers and gym-goers in the F sectors save exercise Reels and book the moment the pain comes back. | |
| #4 | 3 posts a week | Older patients and stroke families search Facebook specifically for a physiotherapist who does home visits in their sector. |

YouTube questions from physiotherapy clinics
Is YouTube actually worth it for physiotherapy clinics?
Recovery-timeline videos get found by someone three days after their surgery, which is exactly when they need to call you. We would rank it number 2 of the platforms worth your time in this trade, and run it at 4 shorts a week plus 2 long videos a month.
How often should a physiotherapist business post on YouTube?
4 Shorts a week plus 2 long videos a month. That figure is set by what this trade can sustain, not by what the platform would like. Posting three times a week for a year beats posting daily for a month and then stopping.
Should physiotherapy clinics be on YouTube before anything else?
No. TikTok comes first for physiotherapy clinics — YouTube is number 2 here. It is worth adding once the first platform is steady, for the reason above.
What is the first thing a physiotherapist account gets wrong on YouTube?
Posting about the business instead of about the customer's problem. Being called a maalish service costs you both your fee and your referrals. That is what your YouTube posts should be answering, in 4 shorts a week plus 2 long videos a month
What does it cost to have someone run my YouTube account?
From PKR 15,000 a month with us. For physiotherapy clinics we usually recommend Starter at PKR 15,000. One physiotherapist filming three exercise clips a week does not need a full production package. Starter edits eight of them, posts daily on TikTok, and writes the captions that make them findable.
