Testimonials

Dr Bethany Valachi’s WellBody System video course was the answer to reducing upper back pain. Her resources are of great help and of paramount importance for a successful healthy dental career.

After 20 years as a general dentist I developed chronic back pain, which drained my energy and desire to practice. From Dr. Valachi’s video courses, I learned that I had actually increased my pain and muscle imbalances with weight lifting that I had assumed would benefit me. I have also incorporated some of her ergonomic suggestions into practice, and I no longer have chronic back pain. Dr. Valachi understands specifically what dental professionals need for preventing pain.

I have been an RDH for over 28 years…neck pain and shoulder pain have been the norm. Countless hours of massage and chiropractor visits, only to have the pain eventually return. Since incorporating the WellBody System strategies into my work, I have not had the neck and shoulder pain that I normally get. Thanks to Dr. Valachi I now believe I won’t have to retire earlier that I thought. Worth every penny!!

After watching Dr. Valachi describe some of the “hot spots” for dentists I found myself nodding my head in agreement. My eyes were opened when I started hearing her describe 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. 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.

I have been to many of this amazing speaker’s lectures, and have watched her WellBody System. Her first recommendation saved my practice! I cannot say enough about the importance of incorporating ergonomics into a dental practice. Dr. Valachi is the leader in her field!

I ordered your complete ergonomics package and everything has been extremely helpful. I have no pain anymore since starting your routine.

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.

The WellBody System is a great video course and I am doing almost all her suggestions. I am a practicing dentist with most of the orthopedic problems associated with the profession, and since I have been using the info in the course, my ortho problems have gotten much better. Thank you for this targeted therapy for dentists that is saving me from having to retire early.

A well presented, evidenced based, comprehensive collection of actionable information. Just with the stretching and exercise program, I’m feeling better every day. There is hope for those in pain.

I love the WellBody System video training series – it has helped my body be able to practice dentistry pain free!

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 WellBody System has incredible merit. It helps me to focus on my problems at hand and reinforce the exercises which are crucial to alleviating my discomfort.

Don’t wait any longer-invest in 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 the WellBody System. I couldn’t believe the very specific exercises and adjustments I could change for instant relief. Finally someone understood my struggles and had answers..and the research and experience to stand behind it. So much more value than I had even hoped for…you will be more productive at your dental office and at home.

Dr. Valachi’s WellBody System has been so helpful and made me much more aware of my actions and positions during my work day. I really don’t have much pain anymore but when I do get some kinks here and there, I now know how to treat & resolve them. Dr. Valachi is excellent at what she does and I am so thankful for her sharing her knowledge!

This exercise program contains 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 like your education and find it very helpful—thank you again!

In 30 years of assisting, this is the only education that has helped with my chronic back problems.

This information should be taught in all the dental schools.

In my humble opinion, this education is a ‘must’ for dental professionals in understanding, preventing and managing the musculoskeletal disorders which are the most common chronic pain and the primary cause of disability of dental professionals.

You are a genius! After suffering with headaches, neckaches, mandibular muscle pain and inner ear pain, I found that following your advice and treating the trigger points in my left upper trapezius staved off the pain. You explained this so well—the information was truly a blessing to me.

This was the most beneficial course I have ever taken and should be part of the dental hygiene curriculum.

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.

This education should be an integral part of every dental school program, as well as every dental practice! Prevention of injuries in dentistry flies under the radar for most of us, until we have pain, and then it is an uphill battle. In spite of yoga, massage and chiropractors I still had pain until I got this education. Posturedontics was the missing piece!

My muscles in the upper shoulder/neck area are improved. THANK YOU for spreading the word on this.  This education should be in every dental and dental hygiene school.

This education was a lifesaver for me. The author’s practical knowledge of working in a dental operatory gives her the unique ability to tailor advice for dentists and dental staff. This will add years to my practice!

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.

This education should be required in all dental schools and once a year for all practitioners! Musculoskeletal imbalances are rampant in our profession, and chronic pain seems to be as well. This is the essential information to combat those issues.

With Dr. Valachi’s video courses, I was able to relieve my acute pain cycles, and stretch and strengthen the correct muscles. My career has been extended with her knowledge of ergonomics in the dental field and the proper exercises a dental hygienist needs.

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!!

I have used (brand X) barrel-type loupes for a ‘hundred years’ with nagging neck pain. I switched to the evidence-based, ‘truly ergonomic’ brands you recommended and my neck pain is MUCH better, so I’m thrilled. Thank you!
