What are People Saying About the Wellbody System?

Well Body System — a great investment!

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.

Sarah Hoover, RDH

The WellBody System is excellent!

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!

Heidi, RDH

What is the REAL ‘price of pain’?

Lost income, medical appointments, time off work, lost productivity, decreased quality of life….disability. It’s hard to place a dollar value these losses.

But what if we did?

Saved me from retiring early

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.

George Marks, DDS, Pompano Beach, FL

Thank You Dr. Valachi

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!

Jill Shelton Wagers DMD, Boise, ID

I Feel Better

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!!

Deb, RDH

There is hope for those in pain

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.

Dr. Spiro Kanatselis, Ottawa, ON

The benefits of this system were immediate! So many specific exercises, positioning, & equipment recommendations for instant relief. Finally someone understood my struggles and had answers..and the research and experience to stand behind it.  Seriously, so much more value than I had even hoped for...you will be more productive at your dental office and at home.

An Excellent Resource...

“Dr. Bethany's exercise program was the answer to reducing upper back pain. I have vastly benefited from the WellBody System. Her resources are of great help and of paramount importance for a successful healthy dental career.“
- Ushaina Fanibunda

“I have been a dental hygienist for 44 years. I wish this information had been available a long time ago. I have learned so much and only hope I can correct some of the bad habits I have acquired. I found the information to be very helpful, thought out and thorough.“
- Dona Poole, RDH

"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."
- Bard Levey, DDS

Saved my Career...

“Several years ago I had so much constant pain in my neck that I seriously considered retiring years before I expected. I tried physical therapists, massage, stretches, etc. It helped, but I was still constantly in pain. Then I heard about Dr. Valachi and had a personal consultation. She made many recommendations including equipment changes, ergonomic changes in the office and home, and appropriate stretches and strengthening exercises. I now live pain free and still enjoy doing dentistry. Her new materials cover even more information than when I first worked with her. Do yourself a big favor and use her materials and/or consultation to increase your professional and personal longevity and enjoyment.“
- Steve Kuennemeier

“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.“
