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.

Spring is coming… eventually. And when it does, runners will start emerging again, not just the die-hards who have been braving the cold all winter. I treat a whole spectrum of runners in clinic, from Ironman athletes to weekend joggers and everything in between. This webinar is an absolute goldmine, and I hope you get as much out of it as I have.
Male patient has Chronic LBP for years. Goes down to the hamstrings. Complains that hamstring is very tight. Had steroids shots 1 month ago. Helped only a bit. unstable gait. Cannot walk for too long, when get up from laying down for too long, back hurts than gets better. Driving his truck feels good, so seating seems ok. LT and RT SLR are only 10 degrees. More than that hurts the left side only. LT Gluteus minimums weak. No Health issue except had gout 4 years ago, and is currently taking prescribed gout medicine, but he said he will stop the medicine next month. Physician thinks will no longer be necessary.

Is there an equivalent to a sural nerve release for the upper body?
I can get back 20-30 degrees in straight leg raise with this generally.
Would the upper body equivalent release areas contributing to frozen shoulder? Or serratus area?
Been a curious question on my mind.
