"Before going to Orca Wellness, I had difficulty jumping, shuffling side to side and generally working out without numbness or pain in my left ankle and right knee. I can now run, jump and be more agile with less pain. I now understand better how certain muscles, ligaments, nerves, tendons work together and can cause pain in unexpected ways. I learned how to train my body to move a bit differently in ways that help strengthen muscles, force my muscles to reprogram themselves and will allow me more years of activities I love to do." - Tony V.  "I’ve had ongoing back issues for years now. They flare up occasionally, and last year they flared up after a big season of running. My back had gotten so bad that I was no longer able to run due to pain. My back issues still flare up from time to time, but they are significantly less. This summer I was able to do the 206 mile STP (Seattle to Portland) bike ride in one day, hike the Enchantments, and even run a half marathon without any pain. I have been able to enjoy an active lifestyle and all the PNW has to offer while still ensuring long-term health of my body. Dr. Tello has been incredible to work with. He has always encouraged me to stay active and find things that work, even when my back flares up. It’s allowed me to stay healthy physically and mentally. I’m thankful to work with a team that meets you where you’re at and will make sure you hit your goals in the process!" - Michaela M.  |
