    I purchased your Wellness System. It has been a great addition to my workouts and has really helped me with my day-to-day back and shoulder strain at the office.

  3. Dr. Greg Dearing (verified owner)

    I ordered your complete Wellness System and everything has been extremely helpful. I have no pain anymore since starting your routine.
    -Greg Dearing, DDS, Thornton, PA

  4. 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!!

  5. Dr. Chuck Tannenbaum (verified owner)

    I believe that the help I’ve received from you has been more valuable than any of the other help I’ve received in my quest to be fit and pain-free.

  6. A. Jennings, DMD (verified owner)

    The WellBody System was the best money I have spent. Finally had an explanation for the headaches and neck pain, as well as methods for strengthening/stretching, and improving ergonomics in the office. It is by far the most applicable ergonomics course I have taken related to the field of dentistry.

  7. Sarah Hoover, RDH (verified owner)

    Don’t wait any longer-invest into your health with this system-your body will thank you! I struggled with chronic neck issues as a hygienist for 20 years and saw countless chiropractors, sports medicine/PT, had massages along the way. They didn’t understand a dental clinician’s operatory or movement. I was always working-out trying to fix the problem but ended up making it worse. The benefits were immediate with this system. I couldn’t believe the very specific excercises and adjustments I could change for instant relief-videos and laminated charts. So many recommendations on equipment and products. Finally someone understood my struggles and had answers..and the research and experience to stand behind it. Even CE courses that never expire. I often refer back to the package because it’s a wealth of information and it covers so many areas. Seriously, so much more value than I had even hoped for…you will be more productive at your dental office and at home.

  8. Miriam (verified owner)

    I have only started on the stretches and I have already felt a difference. I feel less tight. At night I felt numbness in my arms and it has become less frequent.

  9. Leslie Kraus, RDH (verified owner)

    I was able to relieve my acute pain cycles, and stretch and strengthen the correct muscles for endurance during my work days. My career has been extended with her knowledge of ergonomics in the dental field and the proper exercises a dental hygienist needs.

  10. Carol Price, DDS (verified owner)

    I have suffered from neck pain and stiffness for years. Even though I’ve attended Dr. Valachi’s seminars in the past which have been beneficial, I feel that the online system has incredible merit. It allows me to focus on my problems at hand and reinforce the exercises which are crucial to alleviating my discomfort. Sometimes, it that one subtle suggestion in the video that makes all the difference in the world.

  11. Calvin Lau, DDS (verified owner)

    Dr. Valachi’s WellBody System places a needed perspective on the ergonomic health of the clinical dentist. She explains the evidence and science supporting the necessity of proper body mechanics in how we deliver dental care. Hopefully her message that emphasizes ergonomics comes to the forefront for best practices in performing dentistry for our patients.

  12. Scott Brinton, DDS (verified owner)

    Dr. Valachi’s WellBody System was new to me as of the so-called hiatus a lot of us were forced to take during COVID-19. Ergonomics have been on my mind for a bit with various back/neck/shoulder pain that many of us experience. After watching Dr. Valachi describe some of the “hot zones” for dentists I found myself nodding my head in agreement. Beyond that, I try to live a healthy life and incorporate exercise into my daily routine. My eyes were opened when I started hearing about some of the exercises OK for most people but that can be risky for dentists because of the strain many of us already exhibit in typical muscle groups due to the nature of our business, or at least the lazy way some of us practice. I have already adjusted my exercise plan to include more of what I need, am feeling a difference, and am excited to continue through the rest of Dr. Valachi’s WellBody System. Thank you for sharing your expertise with me.
