Thank you for the On the Ball exercises! I use the strengthening/stretching routine, and it works!
Cheryl Mitchell-McCarthy, RDH (verified owner) –
I started doing the exercises and have been noticing improvement in less than 1 week. In physical therapy they were having me do just about all the exercises you recommend that dentists should avoid. Now I can understand why the exercises were so painful. Finally, something that helps!!

This new exercise program helps begin training that can add years to your career and allow you to care for your patients optimally. Buying this program could be the most important investment you make in your career.

I am a 53-year-old Dentist, in private practice for over 26 years. I’m also a distance biker, swimmer, and formally a power lifter. As many of you reading this know, dentistry gets harder after you’ve been doing it for 20+ years… Not technically, but physically.
Turns out my normal exercise routine has been simply exacerbating my neck and shoulder pain. After a short time on Bethany’s new program of muscle endurance exercises and stretching, I already see marked improvement.
My only regret is that I did not find this information sooner.
Erika (verified owner) –
Exercises are very beneficial and helpful for me, they reduce muscle pain and fatigue.
Christopher (verified owner) –
The exercises that Dr. Valachi covers have been very helpful to me in strengthening the essential muscles needed to deliver effective dental care. I also found it useful that she covers which exercises will exacerbate existing muscle imbalances so you do not worsen them.
Andrea Faust RDH (verified owner) –
This is a wonderful course. It details the muscle imbalances common in our profession and provides a manageable strengthening and endurance routine combined with stretches for optimal health and prevention of neck, low and upper back pain. Dr Valachi understands the biomechanics of our profession and she has really put together fitness routine that will prevent musculoskeletal disorders. This is such a beneficial CE. It’s like a professional gift for yourself!

I have been practising dentistry for 20+ years and like many colleagues have severe upper back and neck stiffness. This exercise routine really helps stretch and strengthen the appropriate muscles and has helped me in my day to day practice. It is also useful to know what exercises or workouts can make things worse.

I attended Bethany’s ergonimics course years ago and did not inves in myself at that time. I should have purchased this set of educational DVD’s and online courses then. I have been practicing dental hygiene over 26 years. I have neck pain and seek care from chiropractors, massage therapists and more. If I had done the stretches and exercises along my career I am sure I’d be in much better shape. I am now the proud owner of many of her courses and I am using them. Within 2 weeks of doing the stretches and exercises I am so much better. The chiropractor hardly had to make an adjustment to my neck and back today. I am so glad I made the investment in these programs. Thank you Bethany.

I’ve been in practice for 39 years and endured worsening neck and shoulder pain for years. On the Ball Home Exercise Course greatly improved the pain right away. I had previously read the book, Practice Dentistry Pain-Free and reviewing the book, I also started doing the recommended 30 minutes of cardio exercise 4+ times a week. The combination of those has helped me to live pain free.
David Klekamp –
!Very nice job, Bethany! A good adaption to video. I’ve only seen you in person previously. I think that you have a position that is respected widely and appreciated sincerely by many. You fulfill your mission. God bless you
Lauren, DDS (verified owner) –
Worth it! Multiple visits over the years with physical therapists, chiropractors, and massage therapists are no match for less than a week following Dr. Valachi’s exercise program! I can only imagine the improvements after following the exercise program and chairside stretching long-term. My only regret is not starting sooner. Dr. Valachi obviously put a lot of time and research into developing this program for those of us in dentistry. It’s the real deal and a game changer. Thank you Dr. Valachi!!

This video series about ergonomics and exercise program has helped me tremendously! I’ve been a working dental hygienist for 34 years and have had neck and upper back issues for years. I’ve been going to chiropractor and using massage therapy for years but staying stretched and working on these core exercises have helped me even more! The key is staying consistent and it has helped me stay pain free!
Autumn –
Great CE course, well worth the investment compared to an office visit to a PT. Exercises are very easy to do. Prevention is key!!!
Autumn –
So glad I took the course. Prevention is key to your dental longevity. Exercises were easy to understand and perform. Thank you!
Jean Carpenter –
I’ve been using Dr. Valachi’s exercises and tips on ergonomics for years now! The information is so helpful, I believe every dental hygienist would benefit from her expertise.
Kelly Bardin –
So helpful! I have enjoyed and really needed this. Always enjoy Dr Valachi’s courses.
Alena Voronova –
Very helpful webinar, especially the videos on how to do the exercises and the explanation on how to tell if your core is engaged. Easy exercises to follow along with and helpful to incorporate into my wellness routine to prevent pain with dental hygiene work. Also good explanation on what exercises NOT to do as a dental professional and which muscles we’re overusing for work. Would definitely recommend for anyone in the dental field especially those already seeking to incorporate a fitness routine. And just to check that you’re NOT doing the wrong exercises.

Very helpful! I’ve watched it and am going to have my staff watch it as well!
