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.

Post COVID, post stroke weakness & mobility issues

So this case was going well. I got strength back in her legs and arms and she was holding all progress for a few treatments even within the first few visits. Gait was looking even and lower body exstore was testing well.

Imaging shows she has brain atrophy and also lacunar infarcts though recently so I'm unsure how much more I can do without medication changes or treatment for that. Her doctors also think she may be going through some form of dementia when they ran testing but the patient could not state besides them talking about early dementia.

I am continuing with normal treatment. There is no treatment plan from any of her other doctors besides just run more tests by a new neurologist but nothing yet besides physical therapy. She has had two falls since beginning and the first one she has no memories of.

Do you think I'll continue to get back and forth until they figure out the brain? I think the areas affected can also affect ...
