Transcript of a discussion about adding fitness/exercise services into a chiropractic practice. The speaker emphasizes personalized, condition-specific exercise plans (e.g., avoiding repeated extension for disc pain and avoiding repeated flexion for facet pain), the value of trainers who are informed about patients' diagnoses, and offering exercise-led follow-up or graduated care for patients who finish treatment.

Trying to think of something else that doesn't just blatantly promote. I'm all about but exercise the kick about. Just dive in and exercise. Like, why not give them the exercises and an opportunity to have the exercises led by somebody who's informed about what went on with them so they come in for facet pain. We talked about, you don't want a trainer that's going to keep, hey, do these back extensions and stuff, you know, like, we don't want to see that repeated extension. If it's somebody with disc pain, you don't want them doing repeated flexion exercises and having a trainer that's advised of those and why those are such a big deal for that patient provides much better training or fitness to that client. But then also, also the client is going, this is exactly what I want. My back's been bothering me. You know, you've had patients that. My back's been bothering me for 20 years and now it's the first time I've not had back pain and I'm 51. It's like, great, now we can help do that. Now why not add that into your practice as something when people quote, unquote, graduate treatment, what do we do with that?
