I’m having continuing neck pain, exacerbated by my practice of dentistry for almost 40 years. The stretches recommended in this video are the first stretches or strengthening exercises that have made a difference. They are the first to reach the sore muscles and have helped decrease chronic pain. I am looking for continued improvement.

I’m implementing Dr Valachi’s tips on the video and my pain has already improved a lot. I recommend this course!

After practicing for more than 26 years as a hyginenist, I finally invested in myself… I attended Bethany’s course many years ago but did not purchase the programs. I thought I could just exercise and stay healthy. Dentistry is hard on the neck and back… I am much better in just 2 weeks of doing the stretching and recommended exercises on this program.
Purchase this program and prolong your career and health.
