New Series - Business & Practice Management Idea Exchange Meetings for Locals Supporters

Hi everyone,

I am looking to start a business/practice management idea exchange where we can get together once a month or once every few weeks and share ideas and questions on different aspects of running a practice.

This will be an open format - I am not looking to run it per se, rather just get practitioners together to discuss and hash out what may be holding us back, ways to improve, exchange ideas, talk about what has or hasn't worked, etc.

We can always have a theme to start each meeting off, for example, I can use a topic from my Ebook or something else that I learned along the way, and then have an open forum. Overall though, this would be a participant-guided forum.

This meeting series would be open to Locals supporters.

If you have a preference on days/times, please comment below. I am looking to start this in 2-4 weeks.

Thanks!

Josh

Long Distance Running

Spring is coming… eventually. And when it does, runners will start emerging again, not just the die-hards who have been braving the cold all winter. I treat a whole spectrum of runners in clinic, from Ironman athletes to weekend joggers and everything in between. This webinar is an absolute goldmine, and I hope you get as much out of it as I have.

Foot & Ankle Disfunction

January’s webinar is here! This one is a favorite of mine because it includes the fascial lens when teaching the movement of the foot and ankle. It cover anatomy, fascia, and accessory motion of the foot and ankle. Definitely worth checking out.

Introduction to Exstore and Case Study: Managing a Bone Fracture in a Competitive Golfer (Live Q&A Included)

Happy March! ☘️ This session will introduce the foundational concepts of Exstore along with a real clinical case involving the management of a bone fracture in a competitive golfer. Practitioners will see how orthopedic acupuncture can be applied to support tissue healing, manage pain, and facilitate a safe return to activity. Whether you are new to Exstore or looking to deepen your clinical reasoning, this case-based discussion will offer practical insights you can bring directly into practice.

If you know a colleague who is curious about orthopedic acupuncture or interested in expanding their treatment approach, please feel free to share this event and help spread the word.

Metatarsal pain

Hi, everybody.
@Exstoreman , I have a new patient with right metatarsal pain that has been going on and off for 2 years. (65 yo female, petite.) It started with Achilles' tendinitis and calf pain, then with foot pain as the calf pain subsided. Eventually, it went away, but came back after wearing a pair of boots with slightly elevated heels. Pain sometimes turns into numbness, and sometimes numbness extends to all toes. Her Tibialis Anterior and Peroneal Longus has trigger points. There is only a slight tightness in the medial gastrocnemius and Soleus. She can lift her big toe while standing without pain. Pain is worse when she is driving. The metatarsal gel pad is the only thing that alleviates pain. (Now she has an orthotic, which she is breaking in slowly.) I treated the Peroneal Longus and the Adductor Hallucis as the first treatment. 1) How do I test these muscles (or others)? 2) Should I be looking at other muscles? FYI, she did PT, Chiro, acu, anti-inflammatory ...

@JoshuaSwart you would be proud. I revised my entire home page today for more of a story driven experience from patient perspective. I'd love your opinion. I just need to change my global header links but I feel everything else is improved and I used my photo shoot pictures for alot of it. Should look very polished soon. I have just a few more condition pages to write and I'll have felt I niched down more with 24 common MSK condition and nervous system articles that can be rotated yearly.
