I have recently had a string of new clients in my practice who came in completely fixated on the diagnosis they got from another provider, and it’s messing with their ability to actually improve their injury and pain. In this episode, I share an important aspect of helping those in chronic pain: not letting them be a complete victim of their diagnosis, which in many cases wasn’t even right in the...

There’s always that one client who loves to tell you how and where they need to be treated, and even shows you videos from so-called online gurus about exactly what you should do.

Every time I go on the interwebs, there seems to be an ongoing battle between manual therapy providers as to what the best and most effective treatment method is to apply to a chronic injury, with the hope of getting long-lasting pain relief, with each provider believing their treatment to be superior and that any other provider is absolute garbage. In this episode, I dive into the concept that a...

I recently had an angry female massage therapist message me and try to “set me straight” over a video I made where I noted that male massage therapists were better equipped to do injury treatments compared to female therapists. In this episode, I share what happened in that interaction and double down on my stance that male massage therapists are better equipped to do injury treatments, and it has...

One of the frequent comments I get from Massage Therapists is that they would love to do more focused treatments that break down adhesions and really help the client achieve long-lasting pain relief, but their thumbs and hands can’t handle all that work, so they rely more on instruments and cupping. The hard reality that they just haven’t come to yet is that the reason their hands hurt so much is...

Recently, I have been seeing some Massage Therapists I follow on social media announce that they are closing their practices after years in business. Most of their goodbye messages were heartfelt, and it sucks to see them unable to stay open. Something that I did notice in several of their announcements was that one of the main reasons they needed to close was due to the economy. I try my best to...

I recently had some Massage Therapists in my office for shadowing and training, and they watched me conduct a functional evaluation and present the client with a full treatment plan. Right before I went over all the costs of the treatment plan with the client, I let them know that I do offer a full money-back guarantee on all my treatments, which led to numerous questions afterwards from the provi...

I see Massage Therapists on social media sharing and talking about how their practice is fully booked, and they aren’t taking on any new clients, which I know came from years of hard work and dedication, but what if getting to the point of a closed practice is one of the most selfish things you can do as a provider? I share my perspectives on all of that in this episode! -------- We just launched...

In this episode, I decided to do a bit of a rant from a moronic conversation I had with a massage therapist this past week, when I asked them what treatment method they preferred to use most that produced the best results for their clients, and they responded with a two-page list of everything they do and try on their clients. The worst part was that this provider couldn’t figure out why they were...

In this episode, I answer a question from a Massage Therapist in Missouri who wants to switch over to a shorter treatment session that focuses on helping chronic pain, but is having trouble getting their current clients to be open to a shorter treatment time.

It is the firs...

The question was… “ I have a pretty steady and busy practice, and mo...

In this episode, I go on a bit of a rant on why trying to do a little bit of everything in your practice is actually causing you to get lackluster results and the power that comes from being a true specialist and getting so damn good that nobody can ignore you or compete with you in your area!
