Beck Therapy Inc celebrates 20 years in business this month!

Did you know that according to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, 65% of all businesses fail within the first 10 years of opening? 2025 marks a major milestone for Beck Therapy. This year Beck Therapy turns 20 and I feel incredibly fortunate to have made it this long! This is not a solitary achievement. There are many people to thank–too many to list, if fact.

Common Mistakes When Self-Treating

Three days may seem like a small amount of time, but a lot can happen in the tissues in 72 hours! In this brief post, I’ll go over the most common mistakes I see when self-treating a minor injury. NOT treating. If I had a dollar for every patient that told me “It wasn’t a big deal, so I just thought it would go away…” That may have worked when…

Are you with me or against me?

With over 20 years experience in building partnerships between healthcare providers and local businesses, I’ve seen a wide variety of less-than-optimal decisions. Business owners and their HR/ safety teams are being pulled in many directions these days. It was that way before COVID-19, but even more so now. As healthcare providers servicing these businesses, we need to make their lives easier, not more complicated. For those on the business side of this equation, consider your relationship with your healthcare partners on your workers compensation panel. How can you improve the partnership to work WITH YOU, not against you? Here is…
