One of the initial goals in creating the
TMS Therapist
Project was to provide a comprehensive resource for locating TMS
therapy
practitioners. Users communicated their need for a resource that allowed them to search for
TMS therapists
by location, easily identify which
therapists
conduct phone consults, determine which insurance plans each
therapist
accepts, and more. The following information is a guide on how to respond to requests made by practitioners and how to post completed survey response forms.

===Responding to Requests===
When a practitioner reaches out to the PTPN, they may or may not be aware of the survey response form. When a request comes in, simply email the practitioner and let them know that in order to be placed on our Practitioner Directory they are required to complete the survey response form first. It is suggested that you mention the survey allows us our visitors to learn a little bit more about their specific approach and experience treating clients with TMS and chronic pain. In your initial email attach either the Therapist Survey Response form or the Physician Survey Response form and email them the form.

===Soliciting Survey Responses===
−
Editors are also encouraged, but by no means required, to reach out to practitioners who are already on [[Find a TMS Doctor or Therapist]] but who have not yet completed the survey response form. You can either reach out to them via email or snail mail. This is a great way to help the PTPN develop new relationships with TMS practitioners and help grow the organization. Simply send the appropriate form based on one of the following templates.

Dear [Therapist Name],

I obtained your email address via the TMS Wiki's Find a TMS Doctor or Therapist page, and I am writing on behalf on the PPD/TMS Peer Network and TMS (Tension Myositis Syndrome) community at large, to ask you to provide some information for our website. As so many of the people who suffer from TMS benefit greatly from the support of each other and the sharing of information, we have created a TMS Wiki website that serves as the premiere on-line TMS resource. On this website (www.tmswiki.org), users not only are able to access the community's favorite success stories, add their own pages and stories, and find reviews of print and on-line TMS resources, but they are also able to locate health care professionals who specialize in treating clients with TMS. Our organization, the PTPN, hosts several other meaningful programs including an online forum, weekly online chat room, in-person support groups, special webinars with practitioners, and Peer Supervision Teleconferences for TMS therapists.

We have been informed that you are familiar with TMS and have treated clients with this condition, and we would like to add your name to our web-page as a TMS provider.
−
−
Below we have provided questions that the community deemed most helpful to know when looking for a practitioner. We ask that you look through these and answer as many as you like. As this website is a Wiki, it will allow you to update the answers to these questions whenever you see fit (again, this is something we can help you with). Please feel free to email us for directions on how to do this. We appreciate your time and hope that this project will help make you more accessible to sufferers of TMS.

Additionally, please feel free to visit the site and make contributions as you see fit. We are always looking for new members to join!

Your Time is Appreciated!

Dear [Practitioner Name]

We are writing on behalf on the PPD/TMS Peer Network and the wider Tension Myositis Syndrome (TMS) community, to offer you the opportunity to participate in a new project that is being created to promote TMS awareness and provide support for sufferers.

As so many of the people who suffer from TMS benefit greatly from the support of each other and the sharing of information, we have created a TMS Wiki website that serves as the premiere on-line TMS resource. On this website (www.tmswiki.org), users not only are able to access the community's favorite success stories, add their own pages and stories, and find reviews of print and on-line TMS resources, but they are also able to locate health care professionals who specialize in treating clients with TMS.

We have been informed that you are familiar with TMS and have treated clients with our condition. We therefore invite you to join our community and add your own TMS Therapist Page to the website. Doing so will allow members of the TMS community to learn valuable information about you and your practice, and to contact you to obtain services.
−
−
To streamline this project, the community has worked together to generate a list of questions that TMS sufferers find most pressing when looking for a therapist. We have included these questions below, to inform you of the information we will be asking for.

If you are interested in potentially participating in this project or would like more information, send an email to practitionerfeedback at tmswiki.org.

You can view examples of the survey responses, by visiting tmswiki.org. Please also free to visit and peruse the TMS Wiki site at any time. We are always looking for new members and feedback.
