How Can You Improve Your Assessment? 29:22

3M ago29:22

29:22

Most of us struggle to use our assessments well. This is an amazing tool to clarify your thinking and guide your care that we aren't taking advantage of.

How Much Should I Pay for Rent? 35:53

4M ago35:53

35:53

It's one of the most common business questions we get asked, and it's important! Your rent is going to be one of your two biggest expenses (along with payroll).

We sometimes need to be a little more selfish as business owners. I know the word is loaded, but hear us out!

Setting Bigger Goals With Your Patients 23:31

5M ago23:31

23:31

Sometimes I think our goals with our patients are too small. Either we talk about resolving their symptoms or we take their initial goal at face value. But our patients have often adapted to a sub-optimal life! Their goals are smaller than they could be. Maybe they talk about just wanting to walk without a pad, but they used to run marathons! Or th…

5M ago21:41

21:41

Have you told a patient recently "you're doing a great job?" The desire for affirmation is innately human, and especially in an area - like going to a pelvic rehab provider - where we're feeling uncertain, scared or worried. If we really think about the patient journey, they're often 'failing' because they have to see us. They've probably been unsu…
