Check out Trish’s YouTube Channel!

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.

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!
