You go to great lengths to develop strong messages that will resonate with your target audience and reinforce your brand.

This is because body language is essential when it comes to establishing trust and connecting with viewers on television and video. Yet many clinicians send the wrong message with their nonverbal clues, and this could be turning off potential patients.
