Tip for Posting Videos on Social Media

Purpose: You are trying to communicate to people why they should give you money. People see you and feel confident that you can get them better.

Goal: People see what you do, so they feel familiar with you and it removes a barrier to them calling your office. They feel a connection to you. They feel you can help them. They will call your office and make an appointment.

When using video, every video you put up should be trying to communicate the above. Everything else is a waste of time.

Think about it. Does dancing, pointing at words on the screen, self-help videos, or posting about TCM theory convince anyone to take you serious and that you can treat their problem and get them better? Does it tell anyone to go to you and spend hundreds of dollars? This is after all EXACTLY what the prospective patient is considering. It IS a transaction and money is involved.

If you were a patient with back pain and saw your videos, what would they say? "Oh that's cute". "Oh they're funny." "Oh, interesting". But would they say, "I will call that person to have them treat me and give them my money."

Every video must have the sole purpose of showing the viewer that you are skilled and capable of treating them, and that your patients are happy.
1) Pics and videos of you assessing and treating
2) Video testimonies from the patient telling everyone how you helped them
3) Repeat

No, it aint sexy. But it works.

It gets prospective patients in the door. You are professional, caring, capable, and you fix things. Done.

Oh, and why are people posting pics and videos of blood filled cups? Or big flames over the patient? Or pictures of bright red sha? Good god. Can we get out of our own egos and what we think is "cool", and think what a prospective patient might think seeing those images? Oh yea, let me go fill up some cups with blood. Schedule me ASAP. šŸ˜³šŸ˜’

Keep it simple.

Example: Darren O'Rourke of Physicare in Dublin has the busiest practice in Ireland. Check out his videos on Instagram @physicare_dublin. You'll see. He doesn't even need to pay to boost his videos.

Final tip: If you get someone in who has a big social media following, offer a treatment in trade for them posting a video of their visit with you. This type of advertisement is huge. It is especially good with your athlete patients. Get pics and video of their treatment.

ok rant over.

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.

L Leg and Foot pain

@Exstoreman 62 year old female with Left Lateral Leg Pain. Constant pain radiating down lateral left thigh and calf into foot with numbness and cold feeling primarily in big toe and pins-and-needles sensation throughout upper foot. Whole foot is very sensitive. Leg feels heavy.

Began 2 years ago with sudden severe low back pain. Toes in L foot suddenly went numb and went up side of leg.

See attached MRI report.

She's otherwise very healthy and has NO LBP whatsoever. Walks 4-5 miles/day. Skis (and notices it’s harder to turn with left leg).

Have treated her 5 times so far (weekly), treating MPs and doing renovation with no improvement in symptoms except for after the 3rd visit her leg felt a bit lighter, but just for a few hours. Also, SLR is improved.

Wondering if there's anything else I can try? MRI mentioned drop foot (no symptoms now) - should I treat the peroneal nerve (as discussed in recent LIVE)? Other ideas?

1st EXSTORE Scan:

ROM:
SLR: L-50 / R-60 (limited by hamstring tightness)

Inhibition:

  • L TFL
  • R ...

Updating my 1 page waffle House order sheet for 2026.

I believe I have all the exstore tests.

Trying to take a picture and be done.
