With a wide range of emotions, I want to let you know that after 34 years, I will retire from my clinical practice on May 31, 2026. It has been a privilege working with each of you, and I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to be involved in your care. I have learned so much from you over the years, and I’m proud that even when I wasn’t successful, I did the best I could.

If you still need care, I’m happy to help you transition to a new manual therapist. Over the past few years, I’ve focused on mentoring a small group of therapists, and I’m confident you will be in excellent hands with each of them. They also know I’m available to consult with them if ever needed. Just contact me, and I will help introduce you.

Beginning in June, I plan to focus on taking care of my own body, writing and teaching, and spending more time with my wife Susan, which is what I’m looking forward to the most.

Thank you again for your faith in me.

Humbly,
Bob

I hope you have been staying safe during this unprecedented time. As I plan to re-open my practice on a limited basis, I wanted to update you on where things stand. The decision to close my practice was not an easy one, and the decision to re-open is not any easier. First and foremost, my main
