Why isn’t my practice growing?

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.

@Exstoreman @JoshuaSwart Sorry, quick follow up on my post from a couple of weeks ago on pubic pain. Anthony, you mentioned a video in which you talk about treating the pudendal nerve. I have the majority of your recorded webinars and I cannot for the life of me find it in any of them. Do either of you guys happen to remember where that treatment is located? Thanks!

3 days Post Pelvic Fracture

Patient: 52-year-old male
Diagnosis: Pelvic fracture 3 days ago (confirmed on X-ray; image attached) opposite to prothesis.
Current Status: No orthopedic follow-up yet. Was advised to weight-bear immediately post-injury and has continued to do so within pain tolerance using assisstance. Although he is feeling unsure about appropriate activity levels and has a delay in talking with GP or ortho for a few more days. My thoughts are to get up and weight bare every hour or so to help with circulation within pain free levels, ankle pumps while resting, topical linaments... Any other thoughts or tips? @Exstoreman - also is the fracture just at that upper illiac region, or is there more?
