I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the rhythm of this podcast. Putting out short daily episodes has been helpful for me to process cases, but I realized it may be too much for many of you to keep up with. Most of us don’t have an hour every week to listen unless we’re commuting daily. So I’m testing a new format: fewer episodes, but deeper dives.

In this episode, I walk through a variety of recent patient cases—everything from Swift for painful IPKs to using Anifix for nail corrections—and reflect on how treatment sheets and protocols help simplify patient conversations. You’ll also hear why I think “dynamic demonstrations” (like calf rolling for equinus) can turn skeptics into believers.

3 Takeaways:

• Treatment sheets with clear upsell/downsell pathways make patient decisions—and associate training—much smoother.

• Swift can be an option for stubborn IPKs, though I’m still gathering experience and feedback.

• Demonstrating calf stretching tools in-office helps patients “feel” why night splints and stretching matter.
