Being scared of an MRI
doesn’t make you dramatic.

Our recent MRI video
passed a million views on Instagram.

More than 350 of you told us
in the comments what
makes it so hard.

And nearly 1,000 of you shared it,
probably with someone who
feels the same way.

You’re in good company.

We read your comments,
and here’s our answer.

If a scan makes you anxious,
tell us before your appointment.

You don't have to wait
until you're on the table.

Fear you share ahead of time
is fear we can plan for.

Fear that first shows up
mid-scan is much harder
to work through.

She’s the last person you see
before you slide into the MRI machine, and
the first one you see when you come out.

Her name is Skye.

It’s National Radiologic Technology Week,
so here’s one story about her.

Not long ago, a patient came in
for a scan she’d been
dreading for weeks.

She lay down on the table,
then sat right back up.

Twice.

Skye didn’t rush her.

She walked her through
every sound she’d hear and
told her she’d be
listening the whole time.

On the third try,
her patient made it through.

You see, once you’re inside,
Skye is on the other side of the glass.

She’s talking you through each step,
watching how you’re doing, and
checking that every image is
clear enough for your doctor to use.

The machine takes the pictures.
Skye is the reason they’re good ones.

Thank you, Skye. 💙

Have a scan coming up?
Call us with your questions.

“I already told you this last time.”
We hear it a lot.
We get it.

Linda thought the same thing
when she came back for her
second scan this fall.

Same form.
Same questions.

Any surgeries since your last visit?
Any new implants or devices?

She almost checked “no” out of habit.

Then she stopped.
She’d had her hip replaced in July.

That’s why we ask every patient,
before every scan, even if
we saw you last month.

A pilot runs the same checklist
before every flight, no matter
how many times they’ve flown
that plane.

A safety check only works if nobody skips it.

When we ask again,
it’s not because we lost your file.

It’s because things
may have changed since your last visit,
and we need to know before
you go in the MRI machine.

So if you’ve had a surgery,
an implant, or a new device
since your last scan...
tell us.

Even if it seems minor.

Your initial injury is gone.
But this new pain remains.

And nobody can explain
why it’s getting worse
instead of better.

You did everything right.

You rested.
You iced it.
You gave it time.

The X-ray looks fine.
The doctor said
you should be better by now.

But you’re not better.
You’re worse.

And the worst part
isn’t the pain.

It’s the silence
where an answer should be.

One of our patients
twisted her ankle
on a hiking trail.

It was supposed to be
a simple sprain.

She did everything
she was supposed to do.

Six weeks later
it should have been a memory.

Instead the pain was worse.
Not sore-worse.

Burning, throbbing,
can’t-touch-the-skin worse.

Her doctor said
the X-ray looked fine.

She went home wondering why
her body was lying to her.

It wasn’t.

Her nervous system
had stopped behaving the way
it was supposed to.

The injury had healed.
But the pain signals never turned off.

What she had is called
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome.

Most people have never heard of it.

And that’s exactly why it gets missed.

The early signs look like
normal post-injury inflammation.

So providers treat it like
normal inflammation.

And weeks turn into months
while the real problem
goes unnamed.

You’re not crazy.
You’re not exaggerating.

And you’re not the first person
who’s been told
“the imaging looks fine”
while living in pain
that says otherwise.

to learn what CRPS is,
how it’s diagnosed, and
what treatment looks like.

If any of this sounds familiar,
don’t wait.

He went to medical school for years, but
can’t remember the groceries.

Just because he’s a doctor,
that doesn’t mean he’s superhuman.

Now imagine it’s 2pm and you’ve got:

Patient notes.
Baseball practice.
Flowers for wife.
And Groceries.

All due by 6pm.
None of them started.

Watch the video.

Tag someone who makes this exact face at 5pm.

❤️ ❤️

We treat pain for a living.
But once a year we get to cause a different kind of scare.

Our doctors are scary good at what they do.
Today they just look the part.

Happy Halloween from our team to yours.

Let's talk about your upcoming MRI.

Yes, it's loud.
Yes, you have to hold still.

And no, it's not as bad as whatever you're imagining right now.

Your tech already knows you're nervous.

This isn't their first time either.
They've guided hundreds of patients through this exact moment.

They know the fears before you say them.

For the noise...
You'll get headphones or earplugs.

The hammering sound is loud,
but once you hear the pattern...
noise, pause, noise, pause...
it becomes predictable.

And predictable isn't scary.
Unknown is scary.

And the space?
It's well-lit.
There's a fan keeping you cool.

And there's a two-way intercom
so you can talk to your tech
anytime you need to.

And what about keeping still?

Your tech tells you exactly
when to hold still and
when to breathe.

Nothing is a surprise.
Everything is guided.

Every part of the experience
that makes you nervous
has already been planned for.

None of it is an afterthought.

One of our patients read four articles,
watched six videos, and
called us twice before her appointment.

By the time she showed up,
she'd prepared for the worst version
of every possible outcome.

The scan took 45 minutes.
She listened to music through the headphones.
The fan kept her cool.
Her tech checked on her twice.

She walked out and texted her friend:

"I can't believe I almost cancelled it."

The version of the MRI you've built
in your head is worse than
the real thing.

It always is.

Save this post and the graphic below.

Read them the night before your scan.
You'll thank yourself in the morning.

You've been stretching for sciatica.
That's the problem.

Nerves don't stretch.
They glide.

Your hamstring is a muscle.
It responds to stretching.

Your sciatic nerve is not a muscle.
It doesn't.

That's why you've been
doing the same routine for weeks
and nothing changes.

You're treating a nerve like a muscle.

And the nerve doesn't care about
your stretching routine.

It needs to move through its pathway.

Freely.
Without getting stuck or compressed.

That's what nerve flossing does.

It's a different movement
for a different kind of problem.

And you probably need it
more than you realize.

Think about your day.

You're counting the minutes in every meeting.
Not because they're boring.
Because by minute 20, your leg starts firing
and you can't focus on anything else.

You shift.
You cross your legs.
You excuse yourself to "grab water."

You've been managing your pain
around your schedule
instead of managing the pain.

Nerve flossing won't undo
years of sciatica in one sitting.

But it gives the nerve something that
stretching never did.

Movement through the pathway it's supposed to travel.

When the nerve moves freely,
the pain quiets down.

Not because you forced it.
But because you let it do what it was designed to do.

Save this post.

You're going to need it at 2pm tomorrow
when your leg starts talking.

You're not really afraid of the MRI.
You're afraid of being trapped inside it with no way out.

It's a very tight space.
The noises are really loud.
And...
The thought of
being in there and needing out
and nobody coming is the real fear.

Not the scan.
Not even the results.

The feeling that once you're in, you're stuck.

But you are not stuck.

There's a panic button.
It's in your hand the entire time.

And here's what most people
don't realize about that button.

It's not a last resort.
It's not there for emergencies only.

It's a communication tool.

Pressing it means "I need a person."
And a person comes.
Immediately.

One of our patients
pressed it three minutes in.

Her chest tightened.
The space felt smaller.
So, she pressed the button.

The tech was at her side
before she could finish her thought.

Nobody judged her.
Nobody sighed.
Nobody made her feel like she'd failed.

They brought her out.
Let her breathe.
Talked her through it.

Then, asked if she wanted to try again.

She did.
And this time,
she finished the scan.

Being nervous doesn't disqualify you
from getting the scan you need.

It makes you human.

Your tech already knows
that you're nervous before you say a word.

And they're ready for it.

The button is there because your comfort matters.
Pressing it isn't weakness.

That's how fast someone comes when you press the button.

You're never in there alone.

Nobody walks into physical therapy excited.

You walk in stiff, nervous, maybe a little skeptical.

You don’t know what to expect.
You don’t know if it’s going to work.

You just know
something isn’t right and
you need help.

What happens after that
depends on who’s in the room with you.

“Knowledgeable and helpful”
is what one of our reviews
says about Craig.

What it looked like in the room
was a man who said good morning
every single session
like he actually meant it.

A man who asked
how you were doing and
waited for the real answer.

“Funny, sweet and very kind”
is what another review said about Scarlett.

What it looked like was
the person who cracked a joke
mid-rep when you were ready to quit.

The person who made you laugh
when your body was telling you to stop.

“Sweet, kind and caring”
is what the review said about Amanda.

What it looked like was
someone who never made you
feel like a burden for
asking a question.

She explained things
like every question was
the most reasonable one
she’d heard all day.

Five stars on a card
doesn’t capture what any of that
felt like in the room.

Then one day you’re at your last session.

You can do things you couldn’t do three months ago.
You feel stronger.
You feel like yourself again.

And Sean, or Craig, or
Scarlett, or Amanda
just smiles and says
"I told you."

That’s this team.

October is National Physical Therapy Month.

But for the patients who trusted us with
their recovery and showed up
session after session,
even on the hard days...

This month is yours too.

Happy National Physical Therapy Month
to the team that shows up every session.

Swipe through to see why
our patients keep coming back.
