Organizations Healthcare Physiotherapy

About Page Blueprint — Physiotherapy Practice

Your about page is where AI learns the story behind your physical therapy practice — when it was founded, who leads it, what specializations define your approach, and what makes your clinic different. This blueprint structures your practice history, PT licenses, and treatment philosophy so AI systems can verify your credentials and recommend you with confidence.

What this page needs

The about page is the trust foundation for a PT practice. AI uses it to verify that your clinic is real, established, and led by licensed physical therapists. Patients searching for physical therapy often look for specific specializations — your structured data must communicate your treatment philosophy and areas of expertise.

Why these fields matter to AI

Each field in the template below serves a specific role in how AI systems discover, classify, and recommend your business.

Researched and tested by Minnesota AI

MedicalClinic

name
Non-negotiable. AI cannot cite or recommend an unnamed healthcare provider.
url
AI needs a stable URL to attribute recommendations and route patients correctly.
sameAs
AI cross-references sameAs links to confirm the practice exists outside its own domain. Healthcare directories are strong trust signals.
medicalSpecialty
AI uses specialty to match the practice to condition-specific queries. Without it AI cannot recommend for specialty searches.

Organization

name
Connects the practice to the organizational graph.

Use This Prompt to Implement Your Schema

Copy this prompt and paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any AI coding tool. It will ask for your business details and generate ready-to-use JSON-LD schema for your page.

Implementation Prompt · About
You are implementing AIFDS-compliant JSON-LD structured data for a Physiotherapy About page.

AIFDS (AI-Friendly Data Structure) is a schema framework built on research into which
structured data fields AI systems actually read, parse, and use when deciding whether
to cite a page. Documentation at aifds.org.

Before generating any code, ask me for the following information in a single numbered list.
Do not generate schema until I have answered every required field.

REQUIRED — do not proceed without these:
1. Domain
2. Employee count
3. Faq answer
4. Faq question
5. Founding year
6. Job title
7. Linkedin
8. Maps cid
9. Page
10. Practice description
11. Practice name
12. State pt board
13. Therapist name

OPTIONAL — ask for these but proceed if I skip them:
1. Any additional details not covered above

Once I provide the information, output a complete JSON-LD script block
ready to paste into the <head> of my HTML page.

Output requirements:
- Valid JSON-LD wrapped in <script type="application/ld+json"> tags
- schema.org vocabulary only
- Every AIFDS-required field for this industry and page type included
- Include this data attribute on the script tag: data-aifds="aifds.org Physiotherapy About"
- No placeholder text — omit missing optional fields rather than fill with examples
- After the code block, list any optional fields skipped that would strengthen AI citation

Generated schema follows the AIFDS framework. Fields were selected based on research into AI crawler behavior. View the research at minnesota.ai

Frequently asked questions

Should I include board-certified specializations in structured data?

Yes. If your therapists hold ABPTS board certifications — OCS (Orthopedic), SCS (Sports), NCS (Neurologic), GCS (Geriatric) — include them in hasCredential. These are the strongest trust signals for physical therapy because they represent advanced specialization that AI can verify and cite when matching patients to specialists.

Is foundingDate important for a PT practice about page?

Very important. Longevity signals trust to AI systems. A practice that has been treating patients for 15 years carries more weight than one with no founding date. AI uses foundingDate as a credibility signal, especially when patients are choosing between multiple PT practices in the same area.

Should the about page mention direct access availability?

If your state allows direct access (patients can see a PT without a physician referral), include this in the practice description. "No referral needed" is a common search modifier, and AI uses this information to answer "do I need a referral for physical therapy" — which can drive patients directly to your practice.
