✨ Our Cancellation Wait List Just Got an Upgrade! ✨
We know waiting for an appointment isn't ideal. We're excited to share that our Cancellation Wait List is now Premium and Fully Automated!
🧐 What does this mean for you?
Every qualifying appointment opening on our live booking calendar now has the potential to generate an automatic notification to patients whose wait list requests match up.
✔️ More appointment opportunities
✔️ 24/7 Live calendar monitoring
✔️ A fairer, more efficient process for everyone
🤔 How does it work?
As patients self-manage their own appointment changes through their account, our upgraded wait list continuously monitors. Matching patient requests will automatically receive notifications, giving you more opportunities to book.
☝🏼While offered as first come/first serve, these openings are held in priority for 4 hours until booked and released to the live calendar if left unselected.
💡 Pro Tip:
Increase your chances by submitting multiple wait list requests for different treatment types and appointment durations (for example: 30, 45, 60, or 90min or Indie Head, Skin Nourishment, Scalpology). The more flexibility you have, the broader your range of potential booking opportunities.
📌 A Friendly Reminder
Our Cancellation/Wait List is not therapist-specific. While the system may allow selection of a preferred RMT when creating a request, this program is monitored to maintain clinic standards for greater accessibly for those in need of care.
✌🏼When you receive a notification, simply choose to book it or take no action and remain on the wait list for another opportunity.

How to Talk to Patients about Chronic Pain Early interactions with chronic pain patients are key to treatment acceptance trust, and ongoing communication.
06/08/2026
📊 It’s been an interesting week in social media analytics. Here’s a little Monday reflection.
✅ Our regular posts featuring staff highlights, educational information about the benefits of massage therapy, and the occasional retail feature typically generate a respectable number of views. Whether the captions are read or not, informative content reaches a patient specific demographic.
Then last week happened.
🐳A humorous yet concerned post about what appeared to be a stolen wreath (which thankfully turned out not to be stolen at all) generated nearly three times the engagement of anything related to our actual business. The follow-up retraction post did the same!
🥸 Apparently educational content, wellness information, and professional updates simply can’t compete with a little mystery, outrage, and public speculation.
🤓 It seems social media may suffer from a mild case of Jerry Springer Syndrome.
🤔 So now we're left wondering: is this disappointing ... or are we onto something?
🤩Tune in next week for another dramatic episode of "As the Clinic Turns."
🔍Will someone park over the line in our lot?
🔍Will a squirrel make off with a flower pot?
🔍Will Carol finally return Susan's Tupperware?
⏳Only time will tell.
Ⓜ️ Until then, we'll continue trying to sneak some massage therapy education into your feed between the scandals.
