Your patients don’t need you to be liked. They need you to be certain.
When we walk in trying to please — checking whether they’re happy, monitoring their reaction to everything we do — that’s anxious energy. And anxious energy doesn’t create safety. It creates the opposite.
Patients came to you because something isn’t right. They’re vulnerable. They need to feel that the person working on their spine is steady.
In Ep464, I unpack the five things that quietly break presence — and the shifts that build the kind of trust that keeps patients for life.

If patients are starting strong and quietly drifting, it’s probably not your technique. It’s presence.

That’s what quietly erodes trust.
In Ep464, I share the breath I used before every adjustment — and the five shifts that turn the adjustment into your most powerful trust-building moment.

In Ep464, I unpack the most underrated trust moment in your practice — and the five things that quietly break presence on the table.
