After hubby's surgery for his right knee (for ACL), he needed to undergo several months of therapy…read more For the first month, I would accompany him to Makati where he would undergo therapy under the supervision of his doctor. But the travel time was taking its toll on him especially since he could not straighten his legs in the car that time. So we had to find a rehabilitation center that was near our place. We first went to this big hospital in Alabang, but aside from the fee being so steep, hubby did not like their service. They were contented with just giving him a few exercises, then strapping his knees to a machine for the remaining part of his session. So we ended up with Tokyo Healthlink, and hubby was really impressed. The place was quite small compared to other rehabilitation centers, but they had complete facilities and the physical therapists were really dedicated in helping their patients, pushing them to their limits. The fee they charge was also quite reasonable. If (knock on wood) you need to undergo physical therapy, I recommend this place in Alabang, and the proficient team of physical therapists there.

I love working out, but that has become quite a challenge lately. I have two daughters to take…read morecare of at home and one of them breastfeeds from me so I can't go to the gym when I want to.

In 2014, my husband had a bad fall during one of his basketball games and resulted to him having…read moreACL in his left knee. For him to be able to perform rigorous physical activities again, he needed to undergo minor surgery and a minimum of six months of therapy for his knees. His orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Odulio holds clinic at the Philippine Orthopedic Institute in Makati. The use of Philippine in the name made me think that they were connected to the government, but they are actually a group of orthopedic specialists holding private practice in the country. And though they just occupy two floors in a small building in the city, the place has merits. The lobby is elegant and spacious; they have complete facilities like an x-ray room, examination room and clinics for the doctors, and a whole floor dedicated to rehabilitation and therapy. The staff were very accommodating. Ms. Lauren, Dr. Odulio's secretary is very approachable and promptly responds to calls or text messages. The physical therapists were patient and skillful enough to train my husband and motivate him every time he goes to therapy. Hubby's knees have recovered and he's playing basketball again. And despite his busy schedule, he squeezes in a visit to POI once in a while to see his doctor and thanks his therapists there.

If I had the money, I'd go to Intercare as often as possible…read more Bad posture can really get your spine misaligned and cause nagging backaches. It happened to me one time so I went to Intercare to see a chiropractor. It's seems scary when he cracks your bones, but have faith and you'll feel so much better in a few minutes. After the chiropractor session, you get a massage by a licensed physical therapist. It was the best massage I've ever had in my life. They really get into the grooves of your spine. It feels ridiculously good. I can't even begin to explain how. You have to feel for yourself.
