A New Look
I hope you enjoy the new look to the MFRmail newsletter. I want to take this time to thank each and every one of you for the interest you have expressed in my writings and work. Some of you I have met at one of my Foundations in Myofascial Release Seminars, some via email correspondence, while the rest of you are quiet readers. To all of you I am grateful. If there is anything I can do to make this Newsletter more valuable to you, please let me know. Last month I featured a thigh self stretch, using shelf liner, as the MFR Treatment Tip. An observant reader noticed that this document was not linked. It will be up on the Archives Page of the website soon (as soon as I figure this out!), but for now, here it is: | |

Myofascial Release Research

Why would you choose to be mentored at my clinic, vs. other programs? The Myofascial Mentoring Program is especially tailored to refine and deepen the sense of "Feel", which is the important aspect of the Foundations approach. Break down the barriers that are holding you back in the treatment room. You will share in the experience of actual day-to-day treatment, with plenty of time to work through your own goals and objectives. Contact us for more details.

Let's face it, the internet has become the primary place that prospective clients search for caregivers. If you do not have some sort of presence on the internet, you are losing the battle. I've spoken in the past about how Yellow Page-type advertising seldom pays off, especially when internet marketing can be so inexpensive, but far reaching. Placing your practice listing on the Myofascial Release and Bodyworker Practitioner Directory is not only a smart move, but a highly effective one. Bucking the trend that many listing sites have set, the Directory is free of charge. Why would I do this? First off, I believe in spreading the word of the good work that we all do. Second, I believe that existing directory sites take advantage of therapists by charging them huge amounts of money every year. And, third, practice listings bring more traffic to my website, which is the point of all of this, correct? If you choose to make the smart marketing move, you can download the Directory application here and email it to us. | |
