Trish (Patricia Heraghty) just started this channel and look how many views her videos are getting!
If you’re going to make videos, technique videos and patient interaction videos are the best. That’s what patients want to see.
Yes, videos showing your personality are ok sometimes, such as funny ones. But prospective patients really just want to see what you do and what it’s like. Peeps tend to get cute with their videos and that doesn’t bring patients in.
As far as what to post, think about it from the prospective patient’s perspective. If you never saw or had acupuncture, do you think dark red cupping marks, excessive red shah from gua sha, or cups with blood in them would be ok? How about a big flame over someone’s body with fire cupping? Or would that probably scare the crap out of them?
Showing assessment, acupuncture, soft tissue work, and especially before and afters, are HUGE. The impact is immense. Testimonials are powerful too.
If you look at the busiest clinics, the majority of, or all of their content, is showing what they do. It may also be patient interactions or, if they are athletes, posts about their athlete patients.
I’m sorry to say, prospective patients don’t care about you, or your likes/dislikes, or your day to day stuff. Particularly people who don’t know you. Don’t make it about you. Make it about what you can do for them. Your personality will come out in those videos and then patients feel they know you and what to expect when they interact with you.

Here is the list of webinars in the library.
This does not include the recorded labs or the other webinars annual members get.
@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!
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?
