When was the last time you thought about who might take over your practice one day? And whether that person would be able to offer you the same stability and security that you want for your practice?
This is precisely the question that the management team at Physiotherapie Lyssbachpark in Lyss asked themselves. The answer: a succession solution with Swiss Physio Partner that delivers exactly that. A strong partner that ensures stability and security for the future. And at the same time, it allows the freedom to continue running the practice and day-to-day operations in the way that has proven successful over the years.
A succession plan that brings stability
It soon became clear to the practice management that this was not about setting up a new practice, but about succession. And succession requires a partner you can trust.
«A strong partner, ensuring stability and security for the future.» This is how the practice management describes their motivations. Equally important: the practice retains its culture and its own character. The team continues to organise therapy and day-to-day life in the way that has become established over the years.
This strikes a chord throughout the entire sector. Administrative burdens and recruitment difficulties characterise the day-to-day work of many physiotherapy practices in Switzerland. We work through the processes together, advise our partners on these issues and, in doing so, provide genuine relief. This frees them up to focus on what really matters: the therapy.
What makes Lyssbachpark Physiotherapy special
Three things immediately stand out about Physiotherapy Lyssbachpark:
- The situation. Centrally located in Lyss, with a large area dedicated to active therapy and training.
- The atmosphere. Calm and unhurried. The focus is on mindful training. No cookie-cutter approach.
- The team. With an international outlook and a clear philosophy: the focus is on people and movement. Everyone is accepted just as they are. Treating one another with respect is not just a cliché, but a way of life.
That is precisely the sort of local identity that is preserved within the SPP network.
The moment that made all the difference
Not every decision is made at the negotiating table. At Physiotherapie Lyssbachpark, it was the second face-to-face meeting with SPP that made all the difference. The way we interacted with one another showed that this was the right approach.
Nevertheless, the decision was not entirely without mixed feelings. The practice management describes it candidly: relief that the practice’s future is secure. And, at the same time, the emotional challenge of embedding one’s life’s work within new structures.
That’s only human. And that’s precisely why trust is more important than any figure when it comes to succession.
What’s coming up next
The practice management will remain actively involved in the business and will personally oversee its development over the next one to two years. For the practice, this means continuity combined with new opportunities. This is precisely what it means to put Network partnership: Local identity is preserved, whilst new opportunities for growth open up.
What this means for your own succession
Are you also facing the question of succession? Physiotherapy Lyssbachpark shows that a good solution does not start with figures, but with trust. And it must allow the freedom to continue running your own practice in the way that has proved successful.
Does that sound like what you’re looking for in your future?
