It’s free, extremely detailed and has that adorable used, tattered look the curtains of your sun-fade blue/white 1974 VW Bus had before you decided to update. They kept out the wondering eyes and blocked your board from direct sunlight but never scored you any grace with the local authorities when you were driving with a broken taillight. Upgrading the curtains certainly gave you a more respectable feel… same goes for a broken binding Netter’s. Don’t get me wrong, Netter’s Anatomy works (I used it daily for 8 years) but it was intended to educate us… the docs, not the patients. Myth: “Patients are fully educated about their injury.”
False! Patients don’t understand. Ask a few of your patients to explain their injury to you and you’ll see…
If they fully understood their injury they wouldn’t drop from care early because they found the magic healing power of NSAIDs, forget to do their homework because “life is busy,” and continue to do the pain triggering ADLs you asked them to modify. Regardless, it’s our professional and ethical responsibility to educate. Allow me to take your patient education to the NEXT LEVEL by attacking the two most important cranial nerves of patient education… II & VIII. Visual:
These posters visualIy assist with those innocent questions that require long, complex Dr/Pt conversations you don’t have time for:
- “How does the core affect my back/ extremity syndrome?”
- “Can you teach me to deadlift?”
- “How does improving my scapular function fix my shoulder pain?”
Modernized posters have a huge edge over those old surf van’s curtains we “classics” for a few reasons:
- Netter’s - This Thomas Guide is way too complicated for lay people
- Meric Chart -Focuses on the Nervous System and systemic symptom patterns
- Skeleton Model - Zero function and zero soft tissues
Don’t get me wrong, I have them too… but they are just tools in my tool box. Hearing:
I created Podcast episodes that are extremely comprehensive, yet simple for patients to understand. We cut through complex terms like Snufflolisthesis (That’s Snuffleupagus with a spondylolisthesis). Imagine the following experts speaking directly to your new patients:
#67 Dr. Stuart McGill PhD - Common patient questions regarding Low Back Pain
#61 Mr. Dan John - Tension, Strength and Goals setting for Athletes & Gen. Pop.
#62 Dr. Richard Ulm DC - Compensation Patterns & Olympic Lifting Tips
#33 Dr. Davis Koh DPT - Rehab theory of non-traumatic knee pain from the core, hip & ankle
#56 Dr. Kevin Christie DC - Ergonomic Tips and Tricks
#43 Dr. Robert Silverman DC - Functional Nutrition Tips and Systemic Inflammation
These guys are industry beasts! Allow them to boost your patient education and cut the long conversations to a simple “listen to the podcast.”
What I’m offering is more than selling posters… I’m offering to boost your patient comprehension, outcome and retention, all while saving you time. You may be wondering if my material promotes your same philosophy? I believe we have many tools in our tools chest. Some of the tools I promote are:
Core Training in the fashion of the EXOS Pillar System
Mobility (think Supple Leopardish)
Soft Tissues Work (ART, Foam Rolling, Tool-Assisted)
Movement Well (DNS, Diaphragmatic Breathing, Functional Neurology, FMS, SFMA)
Add challenges (Load Compound Lifts, Footwork Drills, Sprinting)
I’m a sports doc just like you, I know our needs and I’m honest… I give the Eagle Scout 100% money back promise.
8x10s, 16x20s and expo posters available (email for details)
Let’s change patients education together,
