Transition Your Patients to At-Home

STRUCTION IS LLY UNDERWAY! Arrived for Our New Warehouse

Workouts With Ease With the Help of the Theraband CLX!

As a chiropractor, you know that one of the toughest things about the job is getting your patients to follow through with their at-home exercises. They forget to do them, put them on the back burner, or get confused about what they’re supposed to do and how. This stumbling block can really slow down recovery. Fortunately, we have a solution for you: Performance Health’s Theraband CLX. The Theraband CLX is a versatile, 5-foot, latex-free resistance band that features consecutive loops every 8 inches. The loops are easy to open and anchor on a wrist, foot, or knee, allowing the band to be used hands-free and helping patients combine upper and lower exercise routines. Theraband also offers bands at seven levels of resistance in a patented progressive system. This makes the Theraband CLX a great option for older or recovering patients without much grip strength, athletes in training, and the patient population overall.

As you’ve probably noticed, supply chains around the country are a mess right now. There are empty aisles in the grocery stores, and near us in Greenville, our local sporting goods shop was down to just two bikes on a rack of 100. There has been a similar run on chiropractic supplies, but once our warehouse is ready, we’ll be able to double our inventory and have more items in stock for you! That will decrease shortages and cut down shipping time so that stocking up your clinic is easier than ever. Check out these photos of the warehouse in progress and keep an eye on this newsletter to see the finished product!

The Theraband CLX makes the transition from in-clinic workouts to at-home exercises easy, stress-free, and profitable for you.

“The Theraband CLX System is a wall unit that chiropractors can utilize to instruct patients in the office,” explains Dana Mackison, the director of chiropractic education for Performance Health. “Then, chiropractors can send them home with a CLX band for home use and also add in a door anchor to make [the band] easier and safer for them to use at home.” Teaching a patient to use the Theraband in the office will maximize your billable hours with specific current procedural terminology (CPT) exercise codes, and sending them home with identical equipment will increase compliance. The door anchor is one of a suite of accessories patients can use to level up the Theraband CLX, including handles and assistant attachments, although they are not strictly necessary for the versatile looped design. Theraband also offers an app that will guide patients through home workouts.

HAVE A LAUGH!

“Patients can download the app on their phones, and it’s really an easy way to instruct them,” Mackison says. “They can use it to look back and follow up on one, two, or three exercises the chiropractor might have prescribed for them to do at home.”
