A Friendswood client reached out to me, wanting to refer her nephew to my Houston location (๐ฃ๐ถ๐ต ๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ญ๐ช๐ท๐ฆ๐ด ๐ช๐ฏ ๐ง๐ข๐ณ ๐๐ฆ๐ด๐ต ๐๐ฐ๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐ฐ๐ฏ, ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ด๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ธ๐ข๐ด๐ฏโ๐ต ๐ด๐ถ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ช๐ง ๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ธ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ญ๐ฅ ๐ธ๐ข๐ฏ๐ต ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ฅ๐ณ๐ช๐ท๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ญ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐จ, ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ง๐ง๐ช๐ค๐ฆ ๐ช๐ด, ๐ฐ๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ต๐ฐ๐ธ๐ข๐ณ๐ฅ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ช๐ข).
But, she felt comfortable enough to ask if I knew anyone who was good at their work, in his area.
That is the kind of trust I strive to build in my practice. โค๏ธ
It is more important to me, to help my patients and clients get the care they want and/or needโฆ than to try to only keep you in my practice, without passing on useful info that could possibly help you.
That includes:
โข supporting my clients (๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต๐ช๐ข๐ญ ๐ค๐ญ๐ช๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต๐ด) in their choice to see another massage therapist or chiropractor, if my days, hours, location or style of practice isnโt what is needed.
โข also, providing references to others who may be a better fit *or* for adjunct care (๐ธ๐ฉ๐ช๐ค๐ฉ ๐ช๐ฏ๐ค๐ญ๐ถ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ด ๐ฃ๐ถ๐ต ๐ช๐ด ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ญ๐ช๐ฎ๐ช๐ต๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ฑ๐ฉ๐บ๐ด๐ช๐ค๐ช๐ข๐ฏ๐ด, ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ข๐ฑ๐ช๐ด๐ต๐ด, ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ท๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ข๐ค๐ต๐ช๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ด, ๐ฆ๐ต๐ค.) when needed.
I gave her two references for therapists I know. ๐
In the end, he has decided he wants to travel to the Houston office. And, I will do my best to help him. ๐
It is a terribly complicated case, which includes three years of severe pain, a rib resection surgery, failed chiropractic care, PT sessions with minimal results and Airrosti sessions which havenโt lasted.
At this point, he is seeking advanced massage therapy and someone who can spend time providing site-specific work. Itโs a big portion of my practice.
I canโt guarantee I will be the one to make the difference. But, I will certainly do my best, with the knowledge and experience I have. *care*
I hope to report back in a few months, that this gentleman is on his way to a better life and some beneficial pain reduction.
Thank you for the referral, and your trust. I appreciate you. โค๏ธ
