  • Ever wonder why patients vanish after the first phase of care?

    It’s not just about feeling better—it’s about connection lost and the value we fail to communicate.

    In this episode, Martin digs into the hidden reasons behind patient drop-off, exposing the communication flaws that sabotage long-term care. He’ll show you how to flip the script, turn those “value killers” into trust builders, and keep your clients coming back, not because they need to, but because they want to.

  • In this episode, Martin breaks down a simple but powerful idea: how the first and last moments of any interaction shape everything that happens in between. It’s the primacy and recency bias at work. People remember the start. They remember the finish. Everything else? It fades away. So, what if you could use this to your advantage? Imagine structuring every client visit to make the strongest connection at the beginning and leave them with a lasting sense of the value of chiropractic care at the end. It’s not just communication—it’s a strategy for impact.

  • In this episode, Martin tackles a shituation that's all too familiar in chiropractic practice. It's the scenario where individuals perceive their problem as merely 'muscular' and seek temporary fixes like massages, physiotherapy, stretching, or foam rolling, instead of addressing the root cause with chiropractic care. This misconception often leads to frustration and causes people to abandon the very care they need most.

    Join Martin as he delves into why this belief is so widespread and persistent, how you can help others recognize the true nature of their issues, and why chiropractic care often emerges as the superior solution. Tune in to uncover insights that could transform how you approach these common challenges and elevate the effectiveness of your practice.

  • In the world of chiropractic, the philosophy is our compass—it’s the 'why' that shapes the 'what' and 'how' of our practice. But what happens when your 'why' evolves? How do you transform your approach to stay true to your new understanding?

Glenn transitioned from running a successful mechanistic practice in the UK to embracing a vitalistic approach in Spain.

  • In this episode, Martin explores a listener's thoughtful question: "How do you approach the topic of continuing care for someone who's returned after dropping out? I don’t want to come across as 'I told you so' or overly pushy. Sometimes it feels simpler to avoid the conversation altogether. Is there a more effective way?" Join Martin as he delves into the nuances of this delicate situation, offering insightful and empathetic strategies to foster meaningful connections and positive outcomes.

  • To get great results it's important that people follow their care plans. We focus a lot on communication approaches that help people see the value of rebooking to support their progress. But what if what your CA says doesn't support what you say? Or worse, what if it actually sabotages what you have said!

    In this episode, Martin breaks down the best ways for the CA to finish the visit to support people rebooking (and what they should never say).

  • One of the great things about chiropractic is that you can often create phenomenal change in an instant. There can be a challenge where people feel or even say "is that it?" when they get up from the table! As humans, we often see the amount of time someone takes with us as a proxy for value.

    In this episode, Martin breaks down how to avoid these shituations as much as possible as well as how to deal with them when they do crop up!
