Core Stabilization for a Stronger and Healthier Back
Therapeutic Comics creates and develops instructional material to assist health care professionals in providing a variety of exercise and rehabilitation options to their patients, in a manner that is easy to follow and increases patient compliance.
Therapeutic Comics’ are high-quality, durable exercise manuals, written so that patients can easily understand and correctly perform the exercises. At the same time they provide a more in-depth explanation of each exercise, to help the Health Care Professional design an appropriate set for each patients needs. There are also basic health care tips that are both informative and helpful.
The exercises were put together under the direction of the chiropractor for the United States Olympic Team for Beijing, along with consultation from a leading orthopaedic surgeon and a physical therapist. For the patient, these books provide additional assistance to achieve a better level of well-being, by giving them exercises that works closely with the treatments being provided by their health care professional, and the easy to follow style of the comic insures increased patient compliance.
Additionally, the use of comic characters rather than pictures of actual highly conditioned individuals, makes the exercises more accessible to the patient by not requiring to have the patient relate to someone who physical appearance is beyond their current ability to obtain.
You could use a copy or some inexpensively made exercise sheet, but our research has shown that those usually get thrown out, destroyed or lost very quickly, while Therapeutic Comics are taken care of better. More importantly however, they do nothing to increase your status with the patient. If your patient thinks that you are doing something extra to help him, he will refer his friends to you. In addition, Therapeutic Comics are more apt to be left where your patients’ friends and family can see it, prompting possible referrals.
We agree that you should have your patient come to your office or rehabilitation facility as much as possible, but we all know that most patients will not visit the office or facility as much as suggested and once they start feeling a little better then will stop coming altogether. This book increases the chances that they will do the program at home, both while under your care as well as after they have stopped coming for treatment.
There are a number of reasons for the prescription page. Each patient is different with specific needs, this allows the health care professional to tailor the patients work out to their particular situation. For the patient this appears to be custom made program and thereby increases their satisfaction with the care they are being given. It also provides an easy to understand and hard to lose exercise schedule.
You can also schedule the patient’s follow-up visit on the bottom of the page, and you can even point out a few of the exercises that you will want to incorporate in the future. By being detailed in the use of the prescription page you help ensure patient compliance and follow-up visits.
Lastly, for the health care provider it can also be used to help to help justify any billing for consultation in association with this product.
While every health care provider’s primary goal is the well-being of their patient, they are at the end of the day, running a business, and Therapeutic Comics’ are designed to help generate additional business and increased billings. Due to its unique design and the high quality of the product itself, Therapeutic Comics have proven to increase both PR and marketing for your practice, thereby increasing your overall client base.
Research has shown that approximately 87% of all health care practitioner business is based on referrals. When someone needs to find a new health care professional, their first step is usually to get recommendations from their friends or relatives. In addition, people who are happy with their health care providers are eager to promote them to their friends and associates in order to validate their own personal choices. This is the key factor in growing any health care business.
When the provider sends a patient home with a comic, he is not just sending him home with exercises; he is sending him out with an advertisement for his services. An advertisement that is delivered by a willing participant… his patient.
By use of use of their business stamp or label, the providers’ name, address and phone number is prominently displayed on the front cover, back cover or anywhere else they choose, acting as a constant advertisement for anyone who sees the comic. Additional, studies have shown that patients love to show others that their health care providers are the best, and follow-ups have show that patients who have been given Therapeutic Comics’ products, are eager to show their friends and colleagues what their health care provider gave them for free! If 100 copies generate just 5 additional referrals, how much additional revenue is that for the office?

"The core exercises that Therapeutic Comics uses fit perfectly with the treatment strategy that I use for my pain management patients, plus the patients love the comic book format and are more likely to do the exercises .on their own. It’s been a win-win situation for all."
