Negative keywords for physical therapy clinics
Physical therapy ads attract DPT and PTA applicants, patients looking for the printable exercise sheet from a visit they already had, and buyers of resistance bands and TENS units. This list cuts all three and keeps the patient with a referral in hand.
Updated
Before you paste: what NOT to block
Insurance, cost and condition queries are the patients. Keep them:
- physical therapy near me that takes medicare
- physical therapy cost per session
- physical therapy without referral
- sports physical therapy near me
- physical therapy after knee replacement
Every list on this page is a starting point, not a decree. Scan it against your own offer before applying — one business's junk click is another's best lead.

View listFrequently asked questions
Should a PT clinic add "exercises" as a negative?
Not as a bare word. "Physical therapy exercises for sciatica" is a self-treater, but a bare "exercises" negative also catches clinics that brand themselves "physical therapy and exercise" and queries naming an exercise-based program you sell. Block the take-home phrasing - pdf, printable, home exercise program - and leave the condition itself open.
Why keep "without referral" queries?
Someone searching "physical therapy without referral" has already decided to start treatment and is checking whether they can book directly. If your clinic can take those patients, it is one of the best queries you will see. If it cannot, answer the question on the landing page rather than adding a negative - many of them will get the referral and come back.
These are generic industry negatives - safe in most accounts of this kind, but not tuned to yours. Inside Keyword Ninja, the Smart Blocklist cross-checks this exact catalog against your real search terms and shows the wasted spend before you block a single word.
