How Fonitix works for physio, chiropractic and therapy

Fonitix books sessions kindly and privately. If a caller is in distress it points to 988 or 911 and alerts your practice. It never counsels, diagnoses or promises a result.

What the agent does

  • Books clients into free times in your calendar.
  • Answers questions about your sessions, prices and hours using your own answers.
  • Speaks as your front desk coordinator, in the words of your business.

What you tell Fonitix

A few questions when you set up, so the agent knows your business:

  • What kinds of sessions do you offer?
  • What crisis resource do you want callers pointed to? (988 and 911 are always used)
  • How many practitioners take appointments?
  • Do you take insurance, or are sessions self-pay?

An example call

CallerI would like to book a first session. My back has been bad for weeks.
FonitixThank you. The practitioner will go through that with you at the session. Would a weekday morning or afternoon suit you?
CallerMorning please.
FonitixI have Thursday at 9:00 or 10:30 with Sam. Which would you like?

An example of the kind of call it handles. Your agent uses your own services, prices and hours.

What you get in your dashboard

  • A calendar with your team and services
  • An online booking page
  • A card for every customer, with their calls and visits
  • Intake forms and documents
  • Estimates and invoices
  • Payment links and deposits
  • Reminders by text or email
  • Urgent calls marked and brought to your attention

What the agent will not do

  • Give medical or counselling advice: it collects the facts, books a visit or a call, and hands the case to a person.
  • Take a card number over the phone: it sends a secure payment link instead.
  • Make up prices, times or promises: it uses only what you have given it, and takes a message when it does not know.

Set up in four steps

  1. Choose physio, chiropractic and therapy when you sign up, so Fonitix uses the right words for your practice.
  2. Check the example sessions and answer a few questions about your business.
  3. Get your own phone number for the agent and make a test call.
  4. Share the number. Calls turn into sessions in your dashboard.
