Today we’d like to introduce you to Dr. Tanya Stephenson.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Tanya. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
Early in my Chiropractic and Bodywork career, I accidentally discovered that a simple stretch immediately relieves pain, increases the range of motion and blood circulation and most importantly, helped the Chiropractic adjustments hold longer which would make my job a lot easier.
I also discovered that I didn’t have many patients/clients to try or test this stretch theory out on…
As a single mom of one, I needed to make the best of my time as I was juggling life career and raising my daughter. My daughter plays tennis and one of the coaches ran a Groupon for tennis lessons. He had a great response and suggested I do the same for my business. A few months went by and I finally put away my fears and insecurities and ran a Groupn Ad. The response was overwhelmingly AMAZING were I could barely keep up with the new growth. In less than eight months, my database grew over 2000 new client. I quickly learned that retaining clientele was the key to maintaining this new growth and keep them coming back. Relieving them of pain immediately was a great incentive to return.
This simple stretch theory rang true for my 105lbs. 80-year-old female patient to the 40-year stoke patient to the 220 lbs. plus NFL football player patients and everyone in between. Besides with the new rapid growth of patients, I was able to works wonders on people from all walks of life.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
One of the biggest challenges we faced was educating the culture of alternative methods to handle tight aching muscles. The vast majority of the culture resulted in muscles relaxers as a way to elevate stiff spasic and achy muscles. We spent a large portion of our days educating, helping people understand that while YES, muscles relaxer will relax the affected muscle as well as the unaffected, we had to bring awareness to the side effects that were associated with taking the muscle relaxers.
We soon came to realize that educating the culture was the most important element of our work.
