As a new small service based business owner in my small community I am very grateful for those in my town and the surrounding small towns that have come to see me and have trusted me with taking care of them. Allowing me to interview them, assess them, develop a plan of care with them and then follow through with that plan.
I appreciate each and every patient that I have seen. And those who allowed me to work on them while I was still in school. Without those who allow students to practice on them the students wouldn’t be able to gain valuable experience and learn what different tissues feel like on different people. There is only so much one can learn from treating their classmates who don’t actually have any issues with their tissues.
I have learned something each time I’ve worked on someone. It may have been a new technique that I wanted to try out. Or maybe I just came up with a different way to accomplish the same goal but it helped to give variety to the treatment. I’ve learned which techniques are more effective for certain body types, pains, sensitivities and more.
My experience so far has taught me something about myself. I’ve learned several problems I like to work on and it has helped me better define the type of patients I want to work with. There are still so many things I want to try and be a part of relieving and that just shows me that I have a long career ahead of me. I enjoy a challenge. I love to teach people about the body and what I’m doing so they can have a better understanding of themselves and take some control back.
I will continue to look for different ways to show my appreciation for each of my patients whether they only see me once or become a regular who comes to see me for years to come. Getting creative in many aspects of my practice is one of the things I look forward to having the opportunity to do.
I hope that if I have treated you that you were able to get some relief and learn something from me. I appreciate the time you took to contact and come and work with me. Maybe we’ll work together again in the future. I thank you for giving me the opportunity.
