If you have even a passing interest in your health, then go to Dexa Fit and get a DXA body scan done. If you REALLY want to know what your body is comprised of, there is no better way of measuring than DXA technology. Your bathroom scale, the "pincer" method... water / air displacement - these methods are fooling you into thinking you have less body fat than you actually do. A couple of great reasons to get a scan at Dexa Fit: 1) Non invasive procedure - I got my scan done in shorts and a t-shirt. No uncomfortable nudity, no swimsuits, no people pinching your fat. 2) Total accuracy. And I mean total. For example, it will tell you how much lean mass you have in your arms, legs, trunk, how much bone mass you have, how much fat is in your bones and CNS, and what KIND of fat you are storing (android / gynoid). It will also give you your T- and Z-scores for bone density - and more. 3) Gives you your RMR - resting metabolic rate - how many calories your body burns when you just sit on your butt all day. That helps to create a plan to burn more calories than you consume on a daily basis - the foundation for a successful weight loss program. 4) Excellent, caring, and very well informed techs: Matt and Alex are highly knowledgeable about training, weight loss/gain, and can (and do) help you to make sense of the results. They walk the walk, too - both are in excellent health and clearly practice what they preach. 5) Literally takes a total of 15 minutes from entry to exit. I will warn you - if you've been using a bathroom scale or the "pinch" method to measure or estimate your body fat, you are going to get a higher reading than you're used to seeing. Get mentally prepared for that, because it is definitely going to happen - the DXA method measures the fatty tissue of your brain (8 lbs) and fat in your bones and sinews that other methods can't measure. This adds an estimated 5% or more to what you're used to seeing with other methods. Don't let that bother you - just accept it as a "new normal" and work to lower your fat from there. It's a new benchmark point - just a way more accurate one. These guys are great - the process is excellent and worth every penny - give it a try, I promise you won't be disappointed.

If you're interested in getting serious about weight loss and fitness, this is your starting point…read more I've been in twice - first time for all 3 tests (DXA body fat scan, resting metabolic rate and VO2) to establish a baseline. Test results were explained in great detail and there was advice for how to leverage the data for losing fat. At the time of my first visit I bought the package for a return visit for all 3 tests that I'll do once I'm at my target. I expect my RMR in particular will be lower so I want to set myself up for success long term. I'm at the midpoint in my weight loss so I recently went in after purchasing a groupon for a DEXA scan only. Seeing that I've been losing fat and not muscle mass was great and even more interesting was seeing where I've lost more/less around the body - for example my loss to date has been disproportionately in the waist/trunk. As others have said, be prepared for the scan results to be much higher than other less accurate methods you've used previously. Mine is about 7pts higher than my home scale and gym measurement. Don't be disappointed by the small room and no frills location. All you need is their equipment and advice. Data is power - use it!

When you walk into the waiting room there's about four plush leather chairs to sit and relax in while you wait. The place seems pretty new, it's spacious to do different types of exercises. There's a wall of mirrors, lots of different types of machines, patient tables lined up, and they also have private rooms to treat certain patients with certain request like me, women's health. The Physical Therapist that I'm seeing is Rebecca Johnson. I absolutely love this lady! They have a nice website and you can see the PTs and their bios too. She's a very nice lady, friendly, and she listens to you. She specializes in women's health (certification as a Functional Manual Therapist™ through the Institute of Physical Art (IPA) which I'm looking for! Keep in mind, it's more than a PT session for me. I felt like I was at my OBGYN office. In the Philippines, there are special healers that does manipulation of soft tissues and organs called Heliot. And I've found someone whose pretty close to what I need and her name is Rebecca. If you have reproductive, bladder, hip, or even stomach issues, just several visits with her, she can really get the job done! I feel like she has healing hands, seriously! I've been to another PT office years ago for a knee injury and all I got out of it was sessions with a PT watching me doing exercises which I thought it would be the same thing here, but I was wrong thank goodness! Rebecca taught me how I should sit in front of my computer, she educates me on certain clothing that I shouldn't wear that could impact my female organs, and she even taught me how to "walk" again...the right way. Who knew, really I'm not walking correctly!?! I get a lot out of my 1 hour sessions sometimes it's longer depending on my treatment that day or how long of time I have. I like that they show me what I need to do at home (my exercises program) the right way, thanks cause I'm NOT going to remember all of that when I get home! I like the fact she has late hours too that I can see her after work. She has other folks who work with you during your therapy as well. It's a great team effort. So, if you want more than just a PT watching you do exercises on a machine for an hour, get your moneys worth and check this place out! Your body will thank you for it:)

Bad Medical Practice (you may want to read this monologue)…read more To begin with, I am a Ph.D. Neuroscientist who have trained many doctors. On 6th April I had an appointment with Laura Valentine, DPT. During the time of the appointment, I was told by Dr. Valentine that a student (an intern) will be doing "most of the therapy" and she would be there to keep an eye on. I was OK with the plan, as being a Professor in a medical school this is common practice. While I was there I realized Dr. Valentine had another patient during the same time and she started working with that patient. Something we typically call "double booking". That was the first red flag. The remaining of my session which included the all-important musculoskeletal exam was just with that intern, which Dr. Valentine never counter-examined. At the end of the session, she mentioned I would be mainly handled by the intern. I was clearly unhappy with the way things were happening. However, I still wanted to continue with the remaining sessions. Day 2: I was greeted by that intern and the entire session was by her. Dr. Valentine dropped in, only to say that she had a busy day and she is taking care of patients who needs pelvic therapy. Any patient in my place would perceive as that another patient actually needs her attention and I could be taken care of by an intern. So, I did not see Dr. Valentine at all! I had a condition, which neither Dr. Valentine nor the intern could sense well. Still the intern tried manual manipulation and in doing that she made my condition a lot worse. So worse, that I had to immediately go back to my specialist. Being in the medical profession for 12 years, I have never seen a clinical center as irresponsible as Body Gears, Wheaton! If you see the "Plan of Care" you would realize even that is not signed by Dr. Valentine. It is signed by an intern with "SPT" credential, assuming that is "Student PT". In any serious medical business that will be counted as medical MALPRACTICE. I have blurred out the student PT's signature, to protect her identity. I still feel this is not something I could hold the intern responsible for, this is rather a complete lack of seriousness in Body Gears in treating patients.

He is called a chiropractic doctor mixer who not only does spinal adjustment, but he can also adjust the extremities like shoulders, knees, elbows, hands, and feet. His new location is in a building with plenty of parking space. I enjoy the roller table to help you relax before your adjustment. He even adjusted my jaw of TMJ! He also sells high grade supplements like vitamin D capsules or liquid form and Viracid great during cold and flu season. I also like that he doesn't rush you and he's always smiling and optimistic. Overall, he's a diamond in the rough!

He spent lots of time hearing how the injury occurred, examining my son, taking the xrays, explaining the xrays to me and coming up with a recovery plan. He is a very friendly guy and was patient and answered all my questions. Do you know about growth plates? Well I am quickly becoming an expert. This practice has several locations and several specialists, so you know they have dealt with your problem before. Also the appointment phone line opens at 8 am, which is so much better than waiting until 9. So after 2 major bone injuries in my house, my new motto is to avoid the ER at all costs (not if it's really in bad shape of course). Those bozos can't read an xray to save their life! Growth plate? What's a growth plate? Did we learn about that in school? The orthopedic specialist is the way to go!

Another reviewer commented on the high cost of healthcare...this is not OAD's fault. Yes, it's expensive, but I feel like they do it right here. I did pay a lot of money for surgery, OT, etc, but I feel like I received the best care and got the most for my money. Unfortunately I think Gerry H is just a bitter person. I had a great experience with Dr. Thomas and a great experience with Linda Picchiottino (the OT specialist). I did feel like it was slightly "assembly line" at time, more so with Dr. Thomas, but you have to keep in mind, these are SPECIALISTS, all they look at, all day, is wrist and hand maladies, they know what they are looking at and they know what to do, why would you want a lot of hemming and hawing? Anyway, I would recommend this place whole-heartedly.

The physical and occupational therapists at ATI in Wheaton are exceptional. Their expertise as…read morewell as amazing teamwork and enthusiasm make each appointment, no matter how difficult, enjoyable and beneficial. Physical therapy is not only about rehabilitation after surgery or an accident or only for athletes. Seeing a physical therapist should be more about prevention and for those who want to age well to be as functional and independent as possible. Physical therapy exams include postural alignment and movement patterns as well as strength and flexibility. When muscle imbalances do occur, some muscles become tight while others weaken which can only increase the risk of reduced mobility and injuries. If there are legitimate concerns, it is wise to be as proactive as possible with relatively simple interventions. The more we realize that the way we move can be setting us up for future problems, the more inclined we will be to see a physical therapist, sooner rather than later.
