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.

EXSTORE rocks!

Hi!

Since my training two weeks ago at Milwaukee WI, I have been applying EXSTORE to all my MSK patients. My patients (and silently myself!) have been truly surprised of how rapidly they recovered ROM and function of their affected areas.

Last case, today. A female (53) came to the clinic with relatively severe sciatic pain (7/10) that she had for the last two weeks. Her MD and physio treated her with no much success.

Through the EXSTORE scan, I swiftly identified the directly affected muscles on her painful side (right Gutei maximus and medium), as well as the indirectly involved ones (maladaptations) (right Obliques and Transversus abdominis).

I therefore treated her with Pointer Excell II (8-10Hz) at the motor points of the above muscles, followed by soft tissue work focused on the Glutei muscles.

I re-performed the tests that resulted positive before the treatment, with now very-close-to negative result. She stood up from the table with a big smile and said that the decrease in ...

"What you did last week was f amazing"

Just wanted to share feedback from my first MSK pt Monday morning post Extore. No more hip flexor or adductor pain and gluteal muscles super sore after working out, so were actually firing!
