Video Content For Your Website | | Walt Fritz Demonstrates A Sample Session of Myofascial Release, What to Expect. |
While at Oakworks recently, I made a video specifically designed to help the myofascial release therapist spread the word of their modality to perspective clients. The above video was filmed in a manner that it can be inserted onto your website or emails, and can educate the public about what an MFR session is all about. A good number of therapists have already posted the video with very good reviews.
Inserting the video should be quite easy and YouTube allows for a number of different ways to embed a video. Here is the direct link to the YouTube video:

Sponsoring a Foundations in Myofascial Release Seminar
Foundations Seminars are dedicated to providing quality small group setting continuing education workshops. Using a sponsorship model has brought seminars to smaller cities that are typically skipped by the larger companies. If you have an interest in bringing a Foundations Seminar to your town, I would love to talk. Seminar sponsoring brings attention to your practice and allows you to build a reputation in your community. Also, you will share a percentage of the registration fees and attend the seminar for free. If you would like more information, refer to this page of the website, then email me or call at 585-244-6180. | |
A funny thing happens when you use a modality long enough; technique seems less important. In the beginning, the techniques were everything. How many classes could I take and how many new techniques could I learn? Of course there were plenty of new seminars to fill my needs, each promising more and more. But after [...]...�

| Join the Myofascial Release and Body Worker Practitioner Directory.
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 Body Worker 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. | |
