Cutting Edge Therapy: Buela Physical Therapy Clinic Opens Cainta Branch

Toto 6:02:00 AM

Bad posture always comes because of our bad habits and undisciplined exercise. Sometimes our posture causes some body pains and if untreated it might cause much more damage to our body.

Physical therapy clinics are now being recognized because of the treatments they provide. Thus, we should always look out for qualified and certified ones.

Buela, one of the most advanced physical therapy clinics in the country, has opened another branch in the Metro East Area at the Garden Walk Mall in Cainta, Rizal. Buela boasts of cutting edge technology in their clinics using the latest machines in physiotherapy. Coupled with well-trained physiotherapists and in-house medical doctors, Buela offers a complete and holistic approach to physical therapy.

Aquiatan, and National Polo Team member Eduardo Miguel Lopez. From L-R (back): PBA Players; Jervy Cruz and John Wilson, SEA Games Medalists Edwin Giron and Mark Harry Diones

There is a notion that physical therapy is only for post-stroke patients or those recovering from accidents, but physical therapy can benefit everyone. This is pain management that aims to fix the root of the problem, dealing with every muscle, sinew, nerve, and bone that causes the major or minor aches that plague daily life, such as back pain, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, scoliosis, to name just a few. Some patients think this is something you have to live with, but relief is possible with physiotherapy. Athletes of all levels can also look to Buela to boost their performance and be more resilient to injuries and to treat muscles that are overused in relation to their sport.

Gerald Buela, CEO of Buela Physical Therapy Clinic and a licensed physiotherapist himself, has a personal mission to raise the level of the profession. “That's my advocacy, to elevate and push the boundaries of what this practice can achieve through technology and physiotherapy.” Buela is elevating the PT (Physical Therapy) industry, by bringing in top of the line machines from abroad. “It's the latest technology so the Philippines doesn’t fall far behind,” he says. ”Most of the Physical Therapy clinics in the Philippines are quite traditional. I want to transform the industry into one of the most advanced in the region.”

All the machines at the Buela clinics are the latest models. The clinic touts an advanced approach using these machines that aid in various therapies: Myofascial Dry Needling, Microcurrent/Macrocurrent Therapy, Deep Radiofrequency Heat Therapy, Vibration Therapy, Manual Therapy (joint mobilization and spinal manipulation), Postural Correction Program, High-Intensity Laser Therapy, Focused Shockwave, Traction Therapy, Tecartherapy. Patients undergo a thorough screening and medical assessment by doctors and therapists to determine which treatment is most beneficial for their areas of concern.

There is a misconception that physical therapists are similar to massage therapists, but physical therapists or physiotherapists are licensed medical professionals whose field of study takes five years. While massage deals with the muscles, physical therapy can go deeper dealing with muscles, bones, and nerves, affecting the totality of the body. “Our promise is to fix your problems one posture at a time,” explains Buela. When you don’t fix the posture, the muscles aren’t activated properly, the pain and discomfort will return. The machines also target tissue at a deeper level that a simple massage cannot reach. “Massages are good for relaxation, but you need physical therapy for pain and discomfort.”

Gerald Rivera Buela – CEO of Buela Physical Therapy Clinic Corporation. Buela's goal is to make physiotherapy a part of people's healthy lifestyles.

Cost is also something that precludes people from getting the physical therapy that they need, often choosing to pop a pill for the pain. But that solution is temporary, especially for those with chronic pain. People don’t often realize that their health card coverage includes physical therapy, and a visit to the Buela clinic can bring them more lasting relief.

Buela’s sleek and industrial chic interiors of blue gray, wood and steel is aimed at trying to do away with the cold and antiseptic feel of physical rehabilitation clinics, treating it more like going to a spa, gym or an aesthetician, while still getting the level of treatment you would get at the most advanced physical rehabilitation center. “Some of our patients don't do well in hospital settings. Their progress is very minimal, and they don't find the level of pain relief they desire,” explains Buela. Hospitals also don't do certain treatments, like dry needling, a practice whose roots trace back to acupuncture but have now combined with Western research.

The Buela PT interiors of slate blue with wood accents may look like a spa, but the clinic utilizes the most advanced tools in physical therapy.

Buela has not only invested in machines, he also invested in people. The Buela clinic makes it a special point to design the staff area of the physical therapists to be as nice as the rest of the clinic. This does a lot for staff morale, as the staff room is usually the most neglected part of any establishment. Buela, who worked as a physiotherapist himself, knows the ins and outs of the industry and champions that therapists be treated as professionals. It’s only logical that happier staff can give better service. “I pay them a premium, twice as much as the average. I want physiotherapists to feel ownership of the space and to be comfortably working in that space. Compared to other clinics, we pay them double. I really value our people.”

During the pandemic a lot of lifestyles have become sedentary. The work from home setup, which continues even through a hybrid setup, has resulted in a lot less time for moving and socializing, often just remaining at your desk for the whole day. This has resulted in a lot of posture problems that result in or compound all manner of bodily aches and pains. “What we want to give to them is freedom from pain,” declares Buela. ”That way you can work more efficiently, have better relationships, and live your best life.”

Buela Physical Therapy Clinic is located at Unit 2R, The Garden Walk, 105 Felix Avenue, Cainta, Rizal.

Alabang Branch: Unit 2504 Entrata Urban Complex, Civic Drive, Filinvest, Alabang, Muntinlupa City

The Spirit of Giving, Robinsons Supermarket Give Wellness

Toto 5:04:00 PM

One of the most precious virtue of man, "giving". Few people value this character traits and good to know that Robinsons Supermarket is one of the initiator of this kind of activity with their Robinsons Supermarket "Give" Promo. It inspires people to share the wellness of giving.

With the belief that everyone has the capacity to give and of course to receive as well. The value of giving and receiving is the core value that inspires their shoppers to do the same. Though it was through a promo, still, giving is something to be proud of, especially when you know that the things you will give will surely help the needy.

The gift of health, as Robinsons Supermarket culminates its Route to Wellness campaign with its “Give” promo. The program aims to show people exciting ways to win prizes, get freebies, and share their blessings with other people.

The Route to Wellness year-long campaign encourages Robinsons Supermarket customers to switch to a healthy lifestyle by providing nutritious food options to Filipino families through exciting and rewarding promos.

From November 1 to December 31, 2017, the Give Wellness promo will reward customers with a P100 off coupon when they spend P3000 worth of items inclusive of P500 worth of purchases from participating brands such as Enfagrow A+ Four, CDO, Selecta, Purefoods, Del Monte, Ceelin, Kojiesan, Promil Gold, Unilever, and P&G.
To officially kick-off the festivities, Robinsons Supermarket invited shoppers and their families to the “Give Wellness” event at the Eastwood Mall Open Park in Libis, Quezon City. McLisse graced the Event, that makes Patrons of Robinsons Supermarket enjoyed the program. McCoy De Leon and Elisse Joson or McLisse had fun during the games with their supporters and gave a few songs to thank Robinsons Shoppers.

Since giving should be taught to kids, our family was glad to be part of the kick-off of Robinsons Supermarket because our kids was able to learn the value of giving and at the same time enjoyed the activities.

Both our kids enjoyed the games offered in one of the booths. They also enjoyed creating their Cookie design and also the activity where they need to get gold and silver strips to be counted as part of the donations that Robinsons Supermarket will give.

We explained the game to our kids and the reason why they are going to do it. Right after that the kids were very eager to do it because they know the reason why. Our kids know that we were also foster children before that's why our family is very much close into this kind of activities. We know the feelings of being a foster child. This way we can impart to our kids the value of helping others.

Through the event’s polar express theme, participants had a merry time hopping onto a train ride full of games and prizes, activities and freebies. With the goal of giving back to the community, they took part in a game where they collected golden balls with corresponding values to help Robinsons Supermarket reach its P100,000 worth of donations to World Vision, a Christian, relief, development and advocacy organization dedicated to working with children, families and communities to overcome poverty and injustice.

The “Give Wellness” event will travel to Novaliches from Nov. 10-12, Canlubang, Laguna from Nov. 17-19, and Gen. Trias, Cavite from Nov. 24-26 to enable people to discover and share the gift of health and wellness to others.

We had fan with the activities and congrats to Robinsons Supermarket for these activities. It surely benefit not only their shoppers but also others in need.

It's the second time that Kwento Ni Toto participates in Robinsons Supermarket's Fit and Fun Wellness Buddy Run. This year is their 8th Fit & Fun Wellness Buddy Run in which yours truly run 5K together with my better half Angie of www.mommysmaglife.com. It was truly a fit and fun run though I wasn't able to have a thorough run it was still good because I managed to boost my wife to finish the 5K run for the very first time. But of course it's more of a jog-walk-jog thing, still, she was able to finish it, no shortcuts and had every kilometer for 15 minutes.
