I’m doing all the right things. I’m working out, I’m getting up at 5am, I stopped caffeine or stopped drinking alcohol…
I see this a lot within the profession as a whole. The idea is you want to be a better, healthier person. You want to be a good example for your patients, you want to feel great, have more energy. If you do this, you’ll be a better practitioner. If you do these things, your practice will follow and also be healthier.
But then your practice doesn’t grow.
Having healthy routines, while good for you, means absolutely nothing for your practice.
The only thing that helps your practice is actually working in, and on, your practice. Your practice doesn’t care if you met a PR in CrossFit. It doesn’t care if you can do splits, hand-stands, back flips, or if you eat clean.
In fact, oftentimes these things are another distraction and a way to avoid working on your actual practice.
There are many broke “healthy” people.
Health and wealth is an overall measurement of your life. Not a single stat.
So you quit alcohol? Got off caffeine? Started doing enemas? Meditate for 2 hours?
Great! Your practice doesn’t care.
OF COURSE you want of be healthy and feel great. But my point is…is your practice?
And are you doing more for your health as a distraction or because you’re avoiding something else?
It’s all about balance. And not making a mountain out of a mole hill. Simply do that food drive in your clinic. Reach out to local media. Do that talk. Have that in-house event. Call your local rotary. Find the health fairs. Hand your patients business cards and tell them to refer people. Follow up with patients that fell off your schedule. Be a part of your community, not just another business within it.
There aren’t secrets. It’s just hustle.
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.

Best treatment for hamstrings that cramp when testing Glute Max? His CC: LBP and L Sciatica since L4-L5 herniation. Should I just do all their motor points? Cramp is close to knee almost right behind knee - bilateral.
I've already treated TVA, IO, QL, TFL, Glut Med Ant, Glut min plus perfusion. He's doing great but since we've had a ton of snow and he's walking behind the snowblower a lot his LBP has kicked up.
He's 73 yo generally in great health and very active.
Trying to do more pre-planning for each year so I can revisit instead of always creating something new.
This is a list I made of various conditions, articles, and videos that could be done each year re-occurring from awareness of awareness months for various conditions. I was wanting to post this list to see if anyone else has any consistency topics that they redo or reuse every year. Outside of awareness month topics there are also ads that can be reused based upon repeated holidays every year.
I would love to collaborate on this list to see other MSK topics and how you would use them year by year on repeat with some updates.

What permissions are generally needed for a hospital visit? I have a patient that wanted me to do a hospital visit for her parent. I told her with approval from her physician and hospital that I could do a visit.
Is there any paperwork outside of the normal paperwork I should know about to keep myself protected?
