More and more patients today skip the search engine and simply ask an AI assistant like ChatGPT or Google Gemini: "Who is a good physiotherapist near me for lower back pain?" If your practice website isn't structured in a way these tools can read and understand, you simply won't be mentioned — even if you've been treating patients for years. Being cited by AI assistants is now as important as ranking on Google, because both channels bring new patients through your door. CrawlReady audits your site to make sure it speaks clearly to both search engines and AI, so your practice gets the visibility it deserves.

The 3 most common gaps
Hard-to-identify specialties
Rehabilitation, sports, respiratory, pelvic floor… if your specialties aren't spelled out, your site misses the precise searches of your future patients.
Incomplete local SEO
Practice address, access, opening hours and booking: without these structured signals, your nearby visibility stays weak.
Content invisible to bots
Many no-code sites show their key information only after JavaScript runs — content that many bots don't read.
What your website must contain to be cited by AI assistants
For ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini to recommend you when a client asks these questions, your website must clearly show these 7 signals:
Questions Patients Are Already Asking AI Assistants About Physiotherapy
How do I know if I need a physiotherapist or a doctor first?
For most musculoskeletal issues — such as back pain, a sports injury, or joint stiffness — you can book directly with a physiotherapist without a GP referral. However, if you are experiencing unexplained symptoms, severe pain, or a neurological issue, it is advisable to consult a doctor first. Your physiotherapist will always refer you on if they identify something outside their scope of practice.
What conditions can a physiotherapist help with?
Physiotherapists are trained to assess and manage a wide range of conditions, including lower back and neck pain, sports injuries, post-operative rehabilitation (such as after knee or hip surgery), respiratory conditions (helping with breathing techniques and airway clearance), and pelvic floor dysfunction. Each treatment plan is tailored to the individual patient.
How many physiotherapy sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies depending on the condition, its severity, and how the patient responds to treatment. A physiotherapist will typically reassess your progress regularly and adjust the plan accordingly. It is not possible to give a fixed number in advance, as every patient's situation is different.
Is physiotherapy covered by health insurance?
Many private health insurance plans include physiotherapy cover, either fully or partially. Coverage rules vary by insurer and policy. It is always recommended to check directly with your insurance provider before your first appointment to understand what is reimbursed and whether you need a referral letter.
What is the difference between sports physiotherapy and standard physiotherapy?
Sports physiotherapy focuses specifically on injuries and performance issues related to physical activity — such as ligament sprains, muscle tears, or returning to sport after surgery. Standard physiotherapy covers a broader range of patients and conditions, including elderly patients, post-surgical cases, respiratory rehabilitation, and pelvic floor issues. Many physiotherapists are trained in both areas.
