About This Episode
In Part 1, we explore the all-encompassing journey of transforming your home into a successful sports massage clinic, be it a room in the house, a purpose built shed in the garden, or a converted garage. From conceptualizing your business to dealing with inevitable challenges and beyond, members of the STA Panel who've been there and done it share their firsthand experiences.
Learn about the financial benefits offered by home businesses, maintaining a balanced work-life, insurance coverage, local council restrictions, mortgage considerations, and much more. Hear about exciting transformations from regular garages to personal therapy spaces - filled with considerations for planning, building regulations, and costings. We also delve into maintaining professional relationships within your local community and the need for presenting a professional-looking space to retain credibility.

Understand the nuances of careful planning and excellent workmanship, aspects such as toilet and sink access, and the vital role of aesthetics in the success story of these transformations.
