A missed-session check-in
'Assalam o alaikum Ahmed sahib, kal aap ka session miss ho gaya. Ummeed hai sab theek hai. Kamar ki exercises jaari rakhein, aur jab convenient ho to agla time bata dein.' Friendly, short, no pressure.
WhatsApp marketing
We would organise your clinic's WhatsApp Business number around the real problem, which is patients dropping out mid-course: appointment reminders the day before, a quick reply for home-visit requests with the sectors you cover, labels for new, active and lapsed patients, and an opt-in list for exercise tips that keeps you in their phone.
On the Business bundle package, from PKR 25,000 per month. Ad spend, if you run ads, is separate.
Why it fits
In physiotherapy, the expensive problem is rarely finding new patients. It is the patient who feels better after three sessions, stops coming, and returns months later worse. WhatsApp is where those patients already talk to you, so it is where a reminder, a check-in or a short exercise video lands without feeling like marketing. Home-visit requests also arrive here first, usually from a son or daughter booking for a parent after a stroke or a fall. A clear quick reply with coverage areas and timings saves the back-and-forth that loses those bookings.

Illustrative starting points, not results. The audit decides the real first move.

A home-visit quick reply (your areas and hours swapped in)
'Home visits hum Bahria Town, DHA, Chaklala Scheme 3 aur Satellite Town mein karte hain. Patient ka area aur mukhtasar maloomat bhej dein, hum time confirm kar dete hain.'
WhatsApp helps by making reminders and check-ins feel personal. A message the day before each session, a kind note after a missed one, and a weekly exercise tip for former patients all keep the clinic in mind. For clinics in G-9, F-10 or Bahria Town it is mostly a matter of someone sending them consistently.
Yes, when the patient has agreed and the video matches what was prescribed in the clinic. Personal exercise videos belong in a one-to-one chat; general tips belong in an opt-in broadcast list. Never forward another patient's video, and keep clinic phones locked, because chats in Islamabad clinics often sit on shared devices.
Pitfalls
Where
Price
The Business bundle covers setting up and maintaining WhatsApp Business; if you move to the API, any Meta messaging charges are paid to Meta directly.

A local shop, clinic or service that needs to be findable, not just posted.
These are the questions we get on WhatsApp every week, answered the way we would answer them there.
WhatsApp usProbably not at first. The free WhatsApp Business app handles quick replies, labels, a catalogue and broadcast lists, which covers most single-branch clinics. The API makes sense later, for automated reminders at volume or several staff answering one number, and that is quoted separately.
Yes, under the Pro package, with ad spend paid to Meta separately. For physiotherapy we keep the ad wording general, about back pain support or sports injury assessment, because Meta restricts health ads that suggest the viewer has a particular condition.
