The folks at OWH work as a team to support and strengthen my body back after sports injuries and pregnancy. Rather than superficially addressing what’s “broken,” they consider how to strengthen each area of my body so that it works functionally, teaching me to move with more joy and less pain. Their team works together across disciplines such as physical therapy, weight training, Pilates, massage and acupuncture, to name a few. Each body worker is at the top of their field; for instance, the Pilates instructors are present/ former dancers with advanced hours in Pilates method training, the acupuncturists have PhD’s. Most importantly, OWH invites the patient into this process, which empowered me to learn how my body works, where I have challenges, and how to move forward - and age - with strength, confidence, and functional grace. Wellness is a word that gets tossed around a lot, but feels right to describe what happens at this office. Each person, from their brilliant admin who schedule services and bill insurance to the massage therapists who offer their feedback on how to stretch through soreness between sessions, I cannot find one note of improvement. I’m so grateful for this resource. I’m stronger, healthier, and more embodied in my 40’s thanks to my work with this team. It’s not a quick fix - nothing worthwhile that creates long term health is. In my experiences with OWH, this is the best investment I’ve made in my heath, period.
