Have you ever gotten a massage because you were in pain, but then left the massage feeling…read morecompletely relaxed, but still in pain? Well, you haven't tried rolfing. Rolfing is a type of massage in which the therapist works with your connective tissues to help relieve pain and restore balance in your body. Philip is amazing! He's professional, respectful, extremely knowledgeable, empathic and just knows what he's doing. I've gone to Philip a handful of times over the last 5 years, mostly for some acute pain. Most recently, my clumsy a** injured my lower back while stumbling on some stairs. After a few days of trying to stretch it out myself, I finally made an appointment with Philip. He was able to accommodate me that day and now I feel fantastic! In terms of affordability, Philip charges what anyone would pay for a standard massage AND you're getting long-term benefits. Here's what to expect: When you walk into Philip's office, you'll chat with him a bit about what's going on before receiving treatment. He has a warm and cozy room in the back where you will lie down on a massage table fully-clothed. He keeps you completely covered with sheets, except for the part he's working on. Rolfing can be a bit painful, like a deep tissue massage, but you'll walk out feeling like your muscles have finally taken their grip off whatever they were holding on to so tightly. Philip usually recommends a medicated patch (smells like tiger balm) to put over the area after treatment. After every session, I feel more mobile than when I walked in the office and for that, I am grateful. If you have more chronic issues, I would suggest several sessions.

I'm giving Philip Brown very high marks for what I was able to accomplish through his help. The…read moreprocess I needed to go through to recover from the bone-spurring and osteoarthritic development of my ankle without major surgery was my goal. I've been a distance runner, mostly trail runner, since my cross-country days as a high school runner. I had to finish running and switch to cycling and other forms of exercise back in November 2006 and do my best to recover. I journeyed through many therapies and found two that included a ton of homework. I've been teaching human anatomy and physiology at both graduate and undergraduate levels since 1987 specializing in dissection lab. Perhaps it was my knowledge of anatomy that got in the way at times of seeing so very clearly the relationship of back curvature, postural issues, movement kinesiology and the muscle adhesions of a 50-something that had endured lots of exercise, injury and recovery. The fix for me came in two stages. Learning standing qi gong from Liping Zhu at http://www.qidragon.com as a kind of "test" or metered way of seeing how good I was getting at simply standing with good structure. The second step was all of the homework that Philip Brown gave me as he melted through various muscle adhesions and presented his standard homework techniques that allowed me to learn new movements and arrive at new structural postures. The second step also included Philip Brown's lifetime knowledge of yoga. Philip has been a student and teacher of yoga most of his adult life before switching careers to go into this area of physical therapy. Yoga and tai ji are still on going parts of his life. I took me a year of Philip teaching me how to stand, sit, put new structural curves in my spine, and finally walk without pain. The proof came when I ran 10 miles two years into my practice. For those who stopped reading as soon as I said one year and then spoke of my two year recovery, I have a small clue to share with you. The lower anatomy of a human being has poor circulation compared to the rest of the anatomy. I've shattered my elbow, had it rewired, went through the physical therapy and I have full range of motion with no pain or arthritic development. Chronic injury from the knee on downward gets progressively more difficult to recover from. It's a fact of life. Now at 61 I can go back to all of my activities, but I do have to be very mindful of daily practices of posture, structure while standing, kinesiology of movement and all of the homework lessons. But I get to walk, run, cycle and be fully active. So there's a price and there's benefits. Depends on how much it matters to you, how much you're willing to commit to the work it takes to be truly active and aerobically fit into the latter part of life. I may have caused some people not to try Philip Brown and caused them to seek joint surgery. It takes a part of my day every day to practice movement and posture and self administer massage and stretching. This is how one treats the root of chronic joint injury.

I'm excited to continue down this path of recovery!

Dr. Wardwell and his team stands out as one of the most brilliant, innovative, honest and effective…read moredoctors I have seen in my life. He was highly recommended to me by my acupuncturist who has seen him several times for therapies to heal long standing back and neck injuries. Dr. Wardell has an extremely impressive and well rounded background and education which enables him to understand underlying issues and causes in a way that most doctors do not. I have recommended him to so many people who have chronic illnesses and pain/injuries who are unable to get relief by traditional methods (cortisone injections, PT, surgery). Not only does he have a deep understanding of any medical issues I've asked him about, his approach is always focused on getting to the true cause and healing them vs a band-aid approach used by so many doctors. His treatments / approach are all quite reasonably priced and has helped people avoid major surgeries that would be much more costly and not actually fixing the underlying problem or condition. I feel that Dr. Wardwell has a strong sense of integrity and ethics and treats his patients with genuine respect, never pushing profit over the best interest is his patients. I have been trying to recover from a severe case of Bells Palsy 7 years ago which I was told by some of the top doctors in the field that I would never be able to heal from it, and the only options were Botox and invasive surgery in my face. I'm so thankful that I have found PRP (plasma rich protein injections, same used in "vampire facials") therapy with Dr. Wardwell which has already healed and improved my symptoms in 3-4 months post PRP therapy. My other doctor who has been treating me, who is the head of plastic surgery at Stanford, was amazed as the most recent progress and never heard of PRP being used to to treat Bells Palsy, which is quite sad. I'm getting the word out. If you are looking for a doctor who will truly get to the bottom of your condition and treat you with the utmost care and respect, I highly recommend Dr. Wardwell. Randy on his team is also very welcoming and accommodating whenever possible. Do not hesitate to schedule a consult if you're thinking about it! You won't regret it.

Within 5min of being at Dr. Wardwell's practice, he had imaged my achilles via ultrasound, diagnosed it as partially torn and had a proposed treatment plan - PRP and stem cell injections for my back, achilles and foot. He doesn't just treat the injury, but treats the full body, focusing on the the root cause to prevent re-injury. 4mo later - I'm back to running and am not limited in any activity. More importantly, I'm not hobbling out of bed every morning (which previously, I was resigned to doing for the rest of my life). I'm so appreciative for Dr Wardwell and the huge quality of life he has given to me. Also shoutout to Randy, who runs the office and is such a pleasure.

He shared insight into industry best practices, allowed me to make my decisions, and even welcomed a 2nd opinion on my ankle. I've never felt more comfortable with a doctor and more trusting. Why?

I chose the no surgery route based on his explanation of the pros and cons. It's been four years since we had that conversation. I ride a bike 8-10 hours a week and walk my dog 2-4 hours a week.

Mike, who has been my PT twice over the last years, is a magician. He's 'fixed' me on multiple occasions where pain became unbearable and I didn't know what else to do. He has SO much experience in the field and is a wealth of knowledge on the body and anatomy, so you are in great hands, but his attention to detail and genuine desire to help you is what sets him apart from the rest.
