Don’t base your value on time

Results - not time - are how to measure how effective your treatments are. Never base your rates in time.

I would take any mention of time OFF your website. If you want to include wording to the effect that an initial visit may be up to a certain amount of time, that’s one thing. But you aren’t an insurance company and your treatments should not be attached to a pre determined amount of time. That’s setting an expectation that you don’t want the patient to have

I had more happy patients when I spent less time with them but used skills that were much more effective.

Believe me, patients don’t want to be in your clinic for an hour or more. Unless you serve alcohol and food.

Caveat - you don’t need to spend 10 years learning how to be effective and deliver exceptional results. We have the training to get you there much faster.

Soccer Player Gastroc Tears

Only seen him 1x so far, last week. He's 27 yo and has been playing soccer (recreationally) since he was little, loves it and wants to get back ASAP. He came in for R calf pain (dull, achey, worse at end of day after being on feet all day). History of multiple gastroc tears (11/2024, re-injured 05/2025, and again at the end of 2025 but is feeling much better since the start of 2026.

He also has a history of R quad and labrum tear in 2023/2024, currently asymptomatic. He pointed out a divet in upper R thigh.

This is what I treated:
1) Motor Points: R TFL (super tight like a rock), R glute med ant, R glute min, L TVA.

2) R calf adhesions Inline(4 points) followed by guasha

For further treatment, should I add:

  • Gastroc motor points?
  • Achilles paratendon treatment (in ankle webinar)?
  • Divet in the R upper thigh - should I address this in some way?
  • Other?
