I've worked with Candice Yoo (NCPT Certified Pilates) over the years before she joined this wellness clinic. She's absolutely amazing and is extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend seeking her out for anyone looking for quality training to strengthen themselves.
As someone who is more flexible and hypermobile, I'm prone to injury when it comes to certain movements. I've learned so much about myself and what to do in order to avoid risking injury working with this awesome instructor.
Candice also introduced me to her fellow colleagues whom I've had the great pleasure of getting treatment from.
Dr. Benny (PT) - this man blew my mind! He utilizes a wide set of various skills for his treatments. He's extremely patient, knowledgeable, and so friendly. You can check out his profile on his website. I will say that I had a 10 hour drive from Atlanta to DC. I went to see him before my drive and was able to drive the straight 10 hours with little breaks. I'm someone who gets nappy behind the wheel for prolonged periods of time. I was very surprised. Highly highly recommend.
Nina (Massage Therapist) - She just seemed to know where the tight spots were. I felt very relaxed after my treatment. She also uses cupping with her treatment. I recommend her treatment, this woman knows what she's doing.
I've only had the opportunity to work with the mentioned practioners, however I strongly feel treatment witn anyone at Empower Rehab and Wellness - you're receiving top tier care/instruction/treatment!!
Please do yourself a favor and reach out to them and schedule an appointment. I can't recommend them enough - this review doesn't do justice for how great and knowledgeable these...
Read moreSo I have had back and hip problems since college and felt like an old man in my late 20s. I've been to physical therapist, doctors and chiropractors, but nothing seemed to work. I'd feel better for a week or two, but then the pain in my back or the clicking of my hip would return. I've been active my whole life so this was very frustrating and the last thing I wanted was surgery. I've known Benny as a friend for years but never as a "physical therapist". I use quotations because he does so much more than just what I thought was physically therapy. He did his undergrad at University of Georgia and then his masters in physical therapy at the University of Miami before traveling the world to learn different methods of alternative treatments. When we started working together he asked a TON OF QUESTIONS which was important to me because I wanted a custom treatment game plan. As he took the time to get to know my physical problems and goals, my treatment picture became clearer. He did a good job of setting expectations and did not promise an overnight fix. He also gave me a list of detailed rehab exercises which he held me accountable to. I've been working with Benny for a year and my quality-of-life day today is significantly better. I rarely have back pain and when I do I am able to self correct most of it through the exercises that he has given me. I would highly recommend you give Benny a call. I have recommended him to my family members...
Read moreBest part of my visit hands down!! I woke up on Sunday with a dead left leg. I couldn't lift it even to walk. The pain was excruciating. After stretching all night and stressing about the next day's conference I picked up the phone and called the first Chiropractor with a 5 star rating. Dr. Af Shirinzadeh answered his cell phone and truly seemed to care about my perdicament. He set me an appointment the following day, AFTER my conference concluded. From the moment I hobbled into the office Dr. Af showed love and concern for me and my hurting body. He spent a full hour massaging and adjusting me. He was tender but efficient. He was kind and coached me through the painful breathing while he worked. And after it all, as I was putting on my shoes, I realized my leg still couldn't cross my other one. He put me back on the table and put 15 more minutes into fixing that one muscle while I said thank you and calling him the Devil all at the same time. LOL This was the best chiropractic experience of my life and I LOVE chiropractic work! I HIGHLY suggest this man to ANYONE in Atlanta with body pains. If I could give this man 10 stars I would.
A true doctor, concerned with his patient's happiness, comfort level, life quality, and the body itself as a functioning instrument. You just don't see that these days. Thank goodness for Dr. Af...
