Social media for clinics: what to post when you cannot post about patients

A clinic can post every day without ever posting about a patient. The material is the questions patients ask, the decisions the clinicians make, the things people wait too long for, and the small practical details of getting seen. Here is a month of posts for a physio, dental, chiro or therapy clinic, the platforms that matter, and the lines to stay behind.

The four post types for a clinic

A month, by platform

The lines to stay behind

No patient stories, photos or results, even anonymised and even with consent, unless your regulator's rules and your own judgment both say yes.

No diagnosis in a post. A sign to watch for is fine; a conclusion about a reader is not.

No before and after. No testimonials where your regulator restricts them.

Check your college or board's advertising standards before the first post, and keep the month inside them.

Running it without the front desk doing it

Ampliqa makes the month for clinics on this pattern, in the clinic's voice, with real people and your headline on the image, and the lead clinician approves it in one sitting. Posts publish from the clinic's own accounts. See Instagram, run for you and pricing.

Questions

Questions people ask.

What should a clinic post on social media?

The questions patients ask, the signs to watch for, the things people wait too long for, and the practical details of a visit. Never a patient story.

Can a physio or dental clinic post without patient photos?

Yes. Photo posts use real people who are not patients with a headline on the image, and short videos of a clinician answering one question.

Which platforms matter most for a clinic?

Instagram and Google Business Profile for local search, LinkedIn for the clinic page and lead clinician, Threads and X for daily questions.
