35,000 YouTube Views for Positive Motion Videos

In September 2009 I got the wild idea to put some of the exercises that we teach patients in the office on YouTube so that patients could go over the exercises at their convenience. I had never put any videos on YouTube and I wasn't sure how it would go. I also wasn't sure if patients would like learning exercises from the video.

The current videos are:

• Psoas stretch: Shows an excellent stretch for this oft forgotten low back muscle that is really important for those of us that spend most of our lives sitting.
• Rotator cuff exercises: Shoulder problems are a common complaint. This video teaches you how to strengthen and regain control of the stabilizer muscles in your shoulder.
• Golfer's elbow exercises: This video discusses what causes pain at the inside of your elbow and some simple strategies to get rid of the discomfort.
• Tennis elbow exercises: Similar to golfer's elbow, but on the outside of the arm, this video goes over ways to stretch and strengthen this area of your body.

Well in the past year I have fantastic news to report. First off, patients are loving the videos. It allows patients to learn at their own pace and in the comfort of their home or office. They can even watch them on the go with their phone in many cases. And I have seen the compliance with patients doing their exercises increase. That means that patients get better results with less visits. Sounds like a positive addition to our office. Look for more videos on a number of topics coming in the near future.
