Day 16 – Create a Referral Information Packet That Gets You Noticed
When it comes to building referral relationships with physicians, physical therapists, and other healthcare professionals, you don’t want to show up empty-handed.
Day 16 of our Make Your Medical Exercise Training Practice Referral Ready in 30 Days challenge is all about creating a professional Referral Information Packet — your practice’s first impression in a folder.
This simple packet showcases your professionalism, highlights your training, and communicates what you do and how you support patient outcomes.
What should go in your packet?
Whether you deliver this in a physical folder or as a polished PDF, your Referral Information Packet should say:
“I’m ready to support your patients, and here’s h...
If you want consistent referrals from physicians, physical therapists, and chiropractors, one thing is essential: communicate results clearly, concisely, and professionally.
That’s where the Outcome Summary Report comes in.
On Day 14 of our Referral-Ready Challenge, you’ll learn how to create a one-page summary report that demonstrates the value of your medical exercise training services and positions you as a trusted member of the healthcare continuum.
A well-crafted report should include:
When done well, this document becomes your most powerful professional tool. It not only communicates outcomes — it earns trust, creates credibility, and leads to future referrals.
We’ll walk through how to design your own Outcome Summary Report, complete with te...
If you want medical professionals to trust your work and refer their patients to you, you need to speak their language. And nothing communicates clinical credibility like a well-documented case study.
Day 13 of our 30-Day Referral-Ready Challenge is all about building your own case study template — one that highlights the functional outcomes you deliver.
A powerful case study includes:
This isn’t just about storytelling. It’s about showing your value through structured, evidence-supported results.
Case studies are the key to:
If you don’t already have a go-to c...
This is Day 11 of our “Referral-Ready in 30 Days” Challenge, we focus on one of the most important tools you can have as a Medical Exercise Professional: developing condition-specific exercise protocols.
Medical professionals want to refer their patients to someone who has a plan—not someone who improvises. When you present a structured progression plan for a total knee replacement, low back pain, or stroke recovery client, you immediately elevate your credibility and show you know exactly what you're doing.
A good protocol should include:

In this session, we’ll walk through how to develop a condition-specific protocol for your practice. Whether you focus on orthopedic issues, neurological conditions, or...
If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it. And if you can’t prove it, doctors won’t refer.
On Day 10 of our “Referral-Ready in 30 Days” Challenge, we shift our focus to one of the most critical—but often overlooked—components of a professional medical exercise practice: using standardized assessment tools to track client progress. Click the play button to watch the session recording.
Doctors don’t rely on guesswork—and neither should you.
Implementing objective, repeatable tools allows you to:
The best part? You don’t need expensive equipment or complex systems. In this session, we’ll review essential assessments that every MedExPRO should be using, including:

On Day 8 of our “Referral-Ready in 30 Days” Challenge, we focus on one of the most overlooked—but most essential—parts of building a professional and trustworthy practice: setting up proper intake, clearance, and consent forms. Download the MET New Client Intake Forms here.
If you're aiming to work with medical professionals or handle clients with complex medical histories, operating without these forms is a red flag. Here’s what every MedExPRO must have in place:
This isn’t a generic gym waiver. It’s a detailed look into your client’s medical background—diagnoses, medications, surgical history, contraindications—that informs every decision you make about their programming.
If there’s any doubt about a client’s readiness for exercise, you must get a clearance. This form shows you operate with caution, i...
If you want medical professionals to trust you with their patients, you must demonstrate that your services aren’t improvised—they’re systematized.
Welcome to Day 7 of the “Referral-Ready in 30 Days” Challenge, where we focus on documenting your Practice Standards—the systems and structure behind your medical exercise training services. Without clear documentation, your services may seem too vague or inconsistent for medical professionals to feel confident making referrals.
In this session, we’ll help you formalize and articulate your process in five critical areas:
Hey MedExPRO (or soon-to-be!),

🔟 Here’s Why You Can’t Miss It:
Medical Exercise Specialists, when it comes to growing a referral-ready medical exercise practice, one of the biggest mistakes professionals make is marketing to everyone — and connecting with no one. You don’t need to reach every doctor in your area. You need to reach the right ones.
Defining your ideal referral sources is a strategic step in becoming visible and valuable to medical professionals who already serve the types of patients you help most.
Why It Matters
Medical doctors, orthopedic surgeons, physical therapists, and chiropractors are often on the front lines of care. They see patients struggling with joint replacements, strokes, chronic pain, or degenerative diseases—exactly the kinds of clients who benefit from medical exercise post-rehab programming. But without clarity on who you’re targeting, your outreach becomes generic and ineffective.
When you define your referral source, you begin building your reputation where it counts—in the minds of the professionals who se...
Let’s be honest.....
If you're a MedExPRO grinding day after day, wondering why the phone isn’t ringing, why doctors aren’t referring, and why your bank account still looks like it did six months ago—you’re not alone. But you are stuck. And it’s time to stop pretending that another social media post or another “networking event” is going to magically fix it.
You didn’t invest in your education, get certified, and study medical conditions just to settle for three clients, no physician referrals, and a practice that feels more like a side hustle than a business. You became a Medical Exercise Specialist to bridge the gap—to change lives and get paid like the professional you are.
So why isn’t it working?
Because you’re likely missing the “Five Foundations of a Thriving Medical Exercise Practice”. Every stuck MedExPRO I coach is missing at least two. And the ones who turn it around? They master all five.
If I asked you to describe your practice in one sen...
