Happy International Women’s Day! 3/8/24

We have 13 employees of which 10 are females! We have a chiropractor and massage therapists, co-owner and assistants that are women.

What is the difference between treating men and women?

Women are smarter! They have a higher pain threshold and they come to get treatment more frequently. Mothers have the highest pain threshold, then come women, then athletes, then boyfriends husbands and then  men in their 40’s and 50’s.
