When Noterro slid into our DMs (not like that) and asked to sit down and talk with Nicole and Heather, we were of course ecstatic.  For one, we were honoured that a large company wanted to be on our podcast and two we both use Noterro in our businesses!  We were so excited to learn more about the inner workings of this platform.  Okay, okay and three we wanted to meet the guys, Nick and Ryan, who help us answer all of our tickets and make sure they didn't hate us (insert Heather's sarcasm here).  If you are currently interested in onboarding a online system for charting and ..read more

RMTs in Ontario often work with Chiropractors in multidisciplinary settings or referral relationship.  Since we are often referring clients to Chiropractors or even getting adjustments ourselves, we wanted to sit down with a Chiropractor and get all the tea!  We reached out to our friend and colleague, Dr. Theresa Lisk, to come chat about how adjustments work, how they know where to adjust and when/why other manual practitioners may want to refer a client to a Chiropractor.  We discussed some pretty cool topics, learned some new information ourselves and even discussed some comm ..read more
