At this point last year we had 3 feet of snow. Sweet memories!?! I hope that your winter has been heathy so far.
Think positive. Boating weather will return soon!!
I want to share with you what my staff and I have learned to improve your experience at OrthoWell and to remind you how awesome you CAN feel. Read on and let’s get you back on track.

How can “Cups” Heal your Injuries Faster?

This Unique Eastern Technique Has Been Used for 1000’s of Years 

If I were to tell you that putting suction cups on your point of pain would help you recover from injuries faster, would you believe me? If you’re hesitant, I don’t blame you. I had been treating patients for over 2 decades and it wasn’t until I personally experienced the benefits of cupping therapy when I became convinced. I couldn’t believe that something so simple could work so well.

Cupping therapy may sound strange but it has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years. We are finding that this supplemental therapy actually increased the effectiveness of other techniques that we use in our clinic.

If you haven’t experienced cupping therapy in our clinic then click the video below to see a demonstration.

Does your foot hurt? 

Start feeling better TODAY! 

Our goal with the Plantar Fasciitis Treatment Guide is to help people who are struggling with foot pain and its yours – FOR FREE!

If you are interested in gaining the knowledge to heal yourself or have a friend that is in need of help, then our treatment guide is the right place to start. Foot pain can really wear you down. We want to help you return to living a normal, happy and PAIN-FREE life.

We have put together the ONLY comprehensive protocol for the treatment of plantar fasciitis. We want to show you how YOU can help yourself.

Miracle Cure for Stiff Hamstrings? Save $$ on Monthly Maintenance

Happy New Year!!

 2016 has arrived. Thank you once again for helping to make 2015 one of our best years ever at OrthoWell.
 
The start of a new year is a time for resolutions. You may want to consider resolving to NEVER have a recurrence of pain by joining our Wellness Membership program. Read more below to save dough!

I want to share with you what my staff and I have learned to improve your experience at OrthoWell and to remind you how awesome you CAN feel. Read on and let’s get you back on track.

MIRACLE CURE FOR TIGHT HAMSTRINGS?
What REALLY is the cause for your tights hamstrings?? That is the first question we ask when we evaluate you at OrthoWell. Once we discover the cause, the next question is how do we treat it?
 
There are many approaches from both an exercise and a manual therapy standpoint to release your hamstrings. We are currently getting certified in a new approach, a new paradigm to the treatment of musculoskeletal dysfunction called Total Motion Release.
 
TMR focuses on neurologic patterns and connections within your body. TMR focuses on movements of greatest ease to release restrictions in either the same or opposing body parts. For example, treatment for a left frozen shoulder could entail active range of motion exercises of your right shoulder and your left hip instead of direct mobilization of the right frozen shoulder. Seeing is believing. 
The first video is a TMR shoulder “miracle” and the second is a TMR technique to stretch your hamstrings.

UltraMan and Our Trainer Extraordinaire
Matt Veiga
 
I’ve been running since the 6th grade. I ran cross country and track through high school and college. After college I completely transitioned from running on roads to running on the trails.  I ran my first trail marathon at Stone Cat trail marathon in 2011. The USATF New England Mountain Series is a series of races that focus on climbing and in some cases climbing and descending different mountains through MA, ME, and VT.  Over the past 2 years, I have placed 3rd overall and have become a regular in the top five of all the races.  The mountain series got me hooked on trail racing and the different approach it takes to do well.  The trail and mountain races require you to be strong uphill in addition to having leg speed for the flats and downs. 
 
In addition to running mountain races the past two year I have also run 2 ultra marathons which is any distance over the standard 26.2 mile marathon distance.  Specifically I have run two 50k trail races or 31 miles.  I have wanted to run an ultra since learning about 100 miles races in high school.  For some sick reason it just seemed like a lot of fun to me.  Like the mountain races, there are a whole different set of principals you need to learn as an ultra runner and it keeps you interested and working hard to reach your goals.  Next year I hope to move up to the 50 mile distance while continuing to have success in the mountain series.  
 
You can request private coaching services with Matt. He also has a blog at

Sometimes injuries happen and you need some help. Check out what a recent Beverly patient said about his care here at OrthoWell:
 
“After a bad fall in the shower I damaged my knee. The injury was painful when I walked upstairs or at a fast pace. After several months of slow recovery I started physical therapy at OrthoWell with Chris and his wonderful, talented staff. My progress was almost miraculous. For those who doubt there is anything that can be done for pain and limited mobility visit OrthoWell. You will learn a lot about your body to help stay mobile and healthy”  Anthony Metaxas 11/13/15
Do you have low back pain? Check out the testimonial below and see how you can get 100% relief at OrthoWell:

“I came to OrthoWell with severe lower back pain.  Within the first week I could feel an incredible change.  The people are friendly and really understand how to help you.  Leaving OrthoWell I feel 100% better.  I will continue my stretches and continue to get better.  I would highly recommend this to anyone having issues with pain anywhere on their body.  Thank you OrthoWell.” -Melissa Parkhust 12/15/15

LBP brochure cover

Our wellness goal at OrthoWell Physical Therapy is to partner with YOU in order to provide the BEST in physical therapy maintenance care to prevent return of pain or injury for a LIFETIME!

When you have experienced the OrthoWell approach to physical therapy care, you realize that we do things a little differently. We are not paint-by-the-numbers physical therapists. We are truly passionate about figuring out what is wrong with you. We are Holistic. We are Comprehensive.

On Day 1 you will see that we spend a lot of time evaluating your condition in order to provide you with an accurate functional diagnosis. If you aren’t assessing, you’re guessing! We don’t want to waste your time or your money.

Why don’t your entrust your care to the experts? Becoming a member of our Wellness Membership Program is the answer for long-term health and wellness.

Just think how you would feel if you received a monthly or even bi-monthly treatment that included a combination of Active Release Technique, Graston Technique, Cupping Therapy and Deep Tissue Laser Therapy to release stiff tissue that re-occurs as result of participating in sports, running, or even the daily stresses of being a stay-at-home Mom. Your treatment would be focused on problem areas that we identify with a re-evaluation. You wouldn’t just get “generalized” treatment that may or may not help solve the problem. You would then be instructed in appropriate exercises to perform during your session and to continue with as part of your maintenance or progressive program.

You can pre-purchase a package of wellness visits to become a member in our Preferred Program. This would qualify you for a FREE Deep Tissue Laser Therapy session with each visit. Consistent use of laser therapy helps to stimulate chemical reactions in your cells to accelerate healing and prevent future injury during your sport or daily activity. You will also receive future discounts and coupons for things such as custom foot orthotics, EFAC cream, physical therapy equipment, and referrals rewards to local health care practitioners such as personal trainers, massage therapists, chiropractors and acupuncturists who we trust and do business with.

I WON

CANCER – I FOUND A CURE!!

Cancer Cure

CANCER- I FOUND A CURE!!

My subject line is no joke. I really did find a cure for cancer!!

The realization will come as quite a shock to many of you.

I spend a lot of time reading and talking about health and fitness. I thoroughly research each and every blog post before I share it with you. Patient education is a top priority at OrthoWell and it is an integral part of our mission statement. We really DO care about you and your health. For this reason, I feel obligated to share the following information.

I was introduced to a book by one of my patients that may change or even SAVE your life! The title of the book is Outsmart Your Cancer by Tanya Harter Pierce. I have had the unfortunate experience of getting a phone call by my father that he has bladder cancer. The realization, of course, was more unfortunate for him. This came up in the conversation with my patient as we broached the cancer subject. She shared her experiences regarding her own cancer history and then she began to open my eyes, my mind, and my anger to the realization that our medical establishment is intentionally misinforming the public about cancer. Some of you may be saying “yeah, right, why wouldn’t my doctor tell me if there was a cure for cancer?” or, like my father said, “yes, I have heard these things before” but then he dispels the “myth” and decides to go through with his radiation and chemo. Don’t get caught up in the “disbelief factor”. I am telling you, from the bottom of my heart, not to be naïve and not to stay ignorant to this realization. You NEED to read this book as my words alone will not do it justice.

Outsmart Your Cancer is not a promotional vehicle for a new cancer pill or a new cancer prevention diet. As a matter of fact, the author does not promote any one single approach to curing cancer. Her objective is to share with us all that has been hidden from us. Yes, there are MANY alternative treatment options to both prevent and to cure yourself of cancer. Her introduction to cancer was the same as mine. The realization that a loved one may die from cancer! I would like to share some excerpts form the book regarding the misinformation campaign that has been waged on the public.

In the author’s words:

I have also discovered that for many of these cancer approaches, the way they work has been proven by rigorous scientific research performed by highly respected physicians, brilliant biochemists, and Nobel prize-winning scientists. Effective alternative approaches to cancer ARE obtainable today, and they are not bogus methods developed by quacks and kooks as the public has been led to believe.’

“During my research, I spoke to over 100 people who had recovered from their cancers using the alternative treatments presented in this book.”

 “The suppression (of information) has been carried out in many different ways by many different organizations and is simply the result of business economics and common unethical tactics that tend to occur when large money interests are involved in any field.’

 ‘Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation involve billions of dollars of profits for the industries that supply them… the cost of developing and bringing a new cancer drug to market is close to $1 billion… A treatment made up of natural ingredients is not patentable… A natural form of treating cancer will never be pursued by a drug company… alternative treatments will always be considered an economic threat to the multibillion-dollar cancer establishment.”

 If you want to watch a YouTube video to convince yourself of the misinformation campaign that has been waged by the FDA and American Medical Association, then watch this video on Dr Burzynski’s treatment for cancer. CLICK HERE.

So when should you start an alternative treatment approach if you’ve been diagnosed with cancer?

 As soon as possible! Unfortunately, most people start with conventional treatment before they try alternative approaches. It is the fear and shock factor associated with “I have Cancer” that makes people decide prematurely regarding the BEST treatment option. They usually start with the big three…chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery. Don’t become a statistic. Get educated!

 So how do you make an educated decision on what treatment path to follow after you’ve been diagnosed with cancer?

Outsmart Your Cancer spells it out in simple terms and in black-and-white. There ARE options…successful options that have cured thousands of patients with cancer. All you need to do is read and/or listen (a DVD of patient testimonials comes with the book).

So when do you start a cancer prevention program?

 NOW!! Outsmart Your Cancer will empower you to start a prevention program today. Scrutinize what you put into your body. Yes, you ARE what you eat. Don’t forget to read my post on Vitamins-To Take or Not To Take for more information.

Because I WANT to be your advocate for health and wellness and because I WANT you to stay cancer-free, I am stocking Outsmart Your Cancer in my clinic. I feel that strongly about the information in this book! I have purchased them in bulk so the wholesale cost is only $20 per book. Don’t delay! Get the facts!

Other things that could change your life that are discussed in the book include:

ACIDIC vs ALKALINE

Did you know that it has been scientifically proven that cancer cells cannot survive if the environment is alkaline enough? Did you know that the QUALITY of what you consume determines whether your body becomes acidic or alkaline? Many people, either with cancer or attempting to prevent cancer, strive to maintain their body pH at an optimal alkaline range between 7.0 and 7.5. Your body pH can be evaluated by a simple saliva test using pH strips in the privacy of your own home. So how do you do this? I’ll give you the answer even though you need to read more about it…CALCIUM. One of the most important roles of calcium is to help our bodies maintain proper pH levels. In addition, the absorption of calcium into the body is completely dependent on the levels of vitamin D in the intestinal tract.

WOMEN -THE PILL – HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY

Do you really understand the effect of synthetic hormone replacement therapy? Outsmart Your Cancer discusses what every woman NEEDS to know about the effects of The Pill and hormone replacement therapy. You need to really be aware of the things that your doctor is NOT telling you. Long-term clinical studies have proven the cancer-causing effects of synthetic hormone replacement therapy. Get the facts!

MEN-TESTOSTERONE & PROSTATE CANCER

As for the men, did you realize how controversial conventional treatments are for prostate cancer? There are studies in the medical literature which contradict the current use of testosterone inhibiting drugs to lower your PSA level. It has been shown that testosterone actively INHIBITS cancer growth and that elevated PSA is actually a man’s defensive strategy for fighting prostate cancer. So then, why does the medical establishment advocate the exact opposite approach?

DENTAL FILLINGS & MERCURY

Did you know that the main component of silver fillings is mercury and that mercury is one of the most deadly substances on earth if ingested? Did you know that your dentist is not required to tell you that your filling contains mercury? Did you know that several European countries have band silver-mercury amalgam feelings for decades but they continue to be used in the United States? The toxic nature of amalgam feelings has been down-played by the American Dental Association for a century in spite of warnings to dentists to “never touch the amalgam with your fingers” and “it must be disposed of under strict toxic waste protocols.” Dentists who have been outspoken against amalgam fillings have lost their licenses to practice. Outsmart Your Cancer references a book written by one such dentist who describes the alleviation of multiple sclerosis and Parkinson symptoms as well as cancer via the removal of amalgam feelings. Once again, get the facts.

There is SO MUCH more in Outsmart Your Cancer. The rest is up to you!!
