Congratulations Ankur! You are an Orca Star!

"I first came to Orca wellness in 2019. I had a real bad case of back spasm. I couldn't walk properly and even coughing and sneezing was intensely painful. I was diagnosed with herniated L4 & L5 long time ago and I was used to having consistent low back pain. All the PTs/Chiro I had met before Dr. Tello would just make me go through basic exercises with no end goal or progression. The way other providers talked to me made me scared to do any physical activity, which resulted in decline in my overall physical activity, which in turn resulted in weaker core strength and then BAMMM it all concluded with a severe back spasm. 

I am a 4.0 tennis player now and play almost twice a week. I snowboard (started in 2020) during winters and enjoy back country backpacking in summers. Oh and I work out 3 times week which includes rehab work, strength training and Plyometrics workouts

Mental side - first thing Dr.Tello told me is his goal would be to make me fit to do activities I love and get me out of his office in less than X weeks. This was refreshing to hear and gave me ton of confidence.
Body work and Rehab - Dr Tello incorporated chiro techniques, sport massage as well as rehab techniques in our sessions to which my body responded very well. I had not seen anyone bring these 3 things together in one place
Strength training - We didnt stop at rehab. Once I was safely out of spasm, we started with dynamic movements and deadlifts and squats to make my brain remember the new good patterns of movement. This transferred well to all the activities I had been wanting to do.

Since then, I have used Orca wellness for injury prevention and general wellbeing. I couldn't recommend Dr Tello and Orca Wellness enough."  Ankur M.
