I was so glad that my physiatrist Dr Tawney referred me to Paul McAndrew for Feldenkrais therapy at…read moreWellness Station several years ago. I have now been seeing Paul for my back and hip pains for many years. I appreciate his thoughtful analysis of my situation and his personalized formulation of exercises to alleviate my pains. He has helped me understand the science behind Feldenkrais and the interplay of my skeleton, nerves, and muscles. Part of the therapy is developing a kinesthetic sense/body awareness so that you can compare movements on one side of your body versus the other side. Paul is expert in directing your attention and asking the right questions. As Paul is also a licensed physical therapist, my appointments are partially covered by Medicare and my secondary health insurance. My sessions at the moment are via video telemedicine and they have been an excellent resource for care in my home. Paul's experienced eye catches movement disfunction. Recently he asked me to direct my computer's camera to an area where I could walk. He watched. And I returned to converse with him via my computer screen. He said, "I'm going to show you an exaggerated version of how I saw you walk." He proceeded to walk with a distinctly hunched over old-person's walk, and then he said, "I could see you beginning to walk like this, so let me show you exercises you can do to counteract this tendency you are developing." I don't want to move with pain, or walk like an old person. I rely on Paul to make this possible.

Why you're here: If you are reading this, it means that you…read moreare, at least slightly, interested in the idea of trying acupuncture. Or you have experience acupuncture before and are looking for an Acupuncturist. For which ever reason, I highly doubt you will be making any mistakes by choosing Chris at Aspire Acupuncture, it may even be one of the best decisions you've made in a while. The Acupuncturist: Chris is a pretty fun, down to earth kind of guy. He has a very honest, caring and friendly vibe, and he's very patient, supportive and encouraging. He really cares to see people succeed and sits down for a follow up/ catch up chat before acupuncture to see how you as as person are doing. What triumphs and downfalls you've had since you last saw him. Also, he only sees one patient at a time, you are always his main focus during your appointment. Bonus, he has online scheduling! Catch him on Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest, he shares a lot of very interesting articles. Health doesn't seem just to be his job, it seems to be his life. Why I started: It was one of the best decisions I've made in a while. I was ready to quit smoking again. I've tired gum, patch, cold turkey, even both Chantix and Wellbutrin. After the third time quitting with Wellbutrin, it really started to take a toll. I didn't know what else I could do and what would be successful. I found out about Aspire Acupuncture from Dr. Penry, they're in the same office. I decided to make both appointments on the same day. My Success: I was smoking 10-12 cigarettes a day during the weekday, it was just madness on the weekend, when I started acupuncture. It only took me two visit and one week to completely walk away from smoking. I dropped down to three cigarettes a day, then one and I was done. I have never felt this solid about quitting before. I don't even flinch when I see someone smoking. Now, everyone is different, it may take someone more or less visits, but you won't know until you try. I sincerely hope you are able to lead a better, happier and healthier life. -Jenn P.s. Yelp, please stop filtering my review, Thank you!

When my insomnia got the best of me, Chris was there to help. After a careful and thorough…read moreevaluation of my situation, Chris crafted a treatment plan for my specific needs.

I had been a regular client at Stretch Zone for my back and neck pain, and initially, I really…read moreappreciated the service and results. However, my experience with their billing practices has been extremely disappointing. From the beginning, I clearly requested to be charged only when I used their services, and not to be enrolled in a monthly membership. Despite this, I was placed on a $200/month membership plan and continued to be charged even during a period when I was out of the country and not using any services. Recently, I was informed that I have outstanding dues for the past two months, and that I cannot book another session unless those charges are paid in full. This feels very unfair and frustrating, especially since I had explicitly communicated my preference regarding billing. While the stretching sessions themselves were helpful, the lack of transparency and disregard for customer requests when it comes to billing has left a negative impression. I would strongly recommend others to carefully review and confirm membership terms before signing up.

I love Brittany and Joe, they are really great at what they do. I have been seeing Brittany since…read morebefore she worked here and there's a lot of good things about how they run their business. Appointments are dedicated to one patient at a time and they are both really awesome at listening to how your week went and applying that to the day's exercises. They do a really good job of matching you where you are at. This is both physically and mentally. Brittany has talked me through many worries when I was increasing my level of exercise and it was very reassuring. They are also really good at making recommendations for other providers (for example I needed a nutritionist and I needed to get fitted for proper shoes. They also gave me tips and hints on which gym is best for my needs.) I have nothing but good things to say! BEST PT definitely raises the standard for physical therapy. I can't imagine going anywhere else
