Under the Influence with Martin Harvey

A patient tells you they feel clearer after an adjustment. What can you say about that?In the first Journal Club episode of Under the Influence, Martin Harvey and Dr Tony Croke unpack an EEG study that looked at chiropractic care and activity across three brain networks.Three brain networks in plain English. What happens when you go from replaying your day to hearing someone sobbing outside?What the researchers measured. How did they use EEG to look at patterns of brain activity?Where the evidence stops. What can those patterns tell us, and what questions do they leave open about how patients think or feel?What to say in practice. How can you respond when a patient tells you they feel clearer after an adjustment?How to get more out of reading research. What changes when you talk through a paper with another chiropractor and ask what it means for the person in front of you?To learn more about Aligned Practicehttps://insideoutpractices.thinkific.com/products/communities/aligned-practiceTo book a time to talk to me - https://tidycal.com/martin-harvey/aligned-practice-first-steps-callCheck out the Retention Recipe https://insideoutpractices.thinkific.com/courses/retention-recipe-2-0To learn more about Reactivate to Accelerate https://insideoutpractices.thinkific.com/courses/reactivateEmail me - [email protected]

What would your chiropractic practice look like if you built it around the life you wanted?Dr Richard Burgess has had two chances to answer that question. He took on an established practice seeing 30–40 people a week and grew it by clarifying the value of care. Then he started a second practice from scratch, this time in his own home.In this episode, Martin asks Richard what he changed in the first practice and what he deliberately kept simple in the second. They talk about finding the confidence to explain your approach to care, keeping admin manageable, and setting expectations when patients come to your front door.If you’re starting out or wondering whether your current practice still fits the life you want, Richard’s experience gives you a few concrete decisions to think through.Learn more about Richard:⁠https://www.instagram.com/dr.dick.chiro/⁠To learn more about Aligned Practicehttps://insideoutpractices.thinkific.com/products/communities/aligned-practiceTo book a time to talk to me - https://tidycal.com/martin-harvey/aligned-practice-first-steps-callCheck out the Retention Recipe https://insideoutpractices.thinkific.com/courses/retention-recipe-2-0To learn more about Reactivate to Accelerate https://insideoutpractices.thinkific.com/courses/reactivateEmail me - [email protected]

You tell people the adjustment is the most important part of their care. Does their experience tell the same story?In an art gallery, the space around a painting helps draw attention to it. In practice, adding more to a visit can make it harder for people to recognise what you want them to value.In this episode, Martin explores “white space”: giving the adjustment room to stand out within the care experience.You’ll hear:How a well-intended mix of techniques can blur your message.Why what clients experience can carry more weight than what you explain.How a simple before-and-after test can help people notice changes in function.How to make the purpose of each part of a visit clearer.A practical episode about communicating value through what you do, and what you leave space around.To learn more about Aligned Practicehttps://insideoutpractices.thinkific.com/products/communities/aligned-practiceTo book a time to talk to me - https://tidycal.com/martin-harvey/aligned-practice-first-steps-callCheck out the Retention Recipe https://insideoutpractices.thinkific.com/courses/retention-recipe-2-0To learn more about Reactivate to Accelerate https://insideoutpractices.thinkific.com/courses/reactivateEmail me - [email protected]

How do you step away from a practice without everything depending on you?Dr Josh Slade has moved from being the sole chiropractor in his Cairns practice to leading a team remotely, while opening a new practice in Brisbane.In this episode, he joins Martin to share what worked, what went wrong, and what he had to learn to let go.They discuss:How to give your team ownership without stepping back in.Helping clients value their care beyond their connection with one chiropractor.Building local relationships when nobody knows your new practice.Keeping your goal clear when your plan keeps falling apart.For chiropractors who want to grow their practice, develop their team, and keep people at the centre of both.To learn more about Aligned Practicehttps://insideoutpractices.thinkific.com/products/communities/aligned-practiceTo book a time to talk to me - https://tidycal.com/martin-harvey/aligned-practice-first-steps-callCheck out the Retention Recipe https://insideoutpractices.thinkific.com/courses/retention-recipe-2-0To learn more about Reactivate to Accelerate https://insideoutpractices.thinkific.com/courses/reactivateEmail me - [email protected]

They stopped care. The pain came back. Now they've booked in again.It’s easy to pick up where you left off. But something made them decide to return today.In this episode, I explore two words that help uncover it: “Why now?”Perhaps there’s a hiking trip coming up. They want to get fit for a wedding. Or they’re tired of struggling to play with their kids.We look at why people minimise their problems, how to uncover what matters to them, and how to make a reactivation visit more relevant.They’re back.
