How We StartedChanges in health care delivery challenged us to consider private practice. Many had seen several physicians; undergone numerous tests and yet they still did not feel well. Through our sessions which included various treatment techniques patients experienced decreased pain, increased mobility and quality of life. A common response began to arise, “You gave me hope” or “I got my hope back”. This inspired the practice name. We found ourselves wishing we could spend more time with our patients and offer additional services.
