About
Our practice offers personalized exercise therapy which will restore your body’s balance. Eliminate your pain through simple exercises that restore your body’s own alignment and correct the bad movement patterns that your body has acquired. Whether your pain is traumatic or chronic, you can eliminate pain without surgery or drugs. Our clients range in age from teenagers to octogenarians.

People come to us in pain and we send them home either without pain or with pain greatly reduced after the first session. Each client receives a set of at-home daily exercises to reinforce the work done in the clinic. A series of five sessions usually is all that's needed to get one's life back.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We listen. An Initial Session is almost two hours. It is hands-on work and individualized exercise programs. It's not “cookie-cutter“ therapy. We take a set of four standing photographs and review them with each client before we begin, and make sure the client sees what we see. We explain what each exercise does, how and why they are doing it and not another one from our database of over nine hundred exercises. Each client leaves with an at-home exercise program to do each day for at least ten days before another session is scheduled.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Bill Boland is an exercise physiologist with graduate degrees from St. Louis University, Washington University, and the University of Kensington, London. He worked as a senior therapist for several years at NYU-Langone Medical Center's Pain Management Clinic. He has been in private practice for over twenty years. Each therapist is trained in the BodyFix Method™ and holds certifications in Pilates, yoga, and Muscle Activation Techniques.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
An initial consultation is one hour and is $175. An initial session takes about two hours and is $455. Packages are available for a series of five at a discount. We are treated as an out-of-network provider by most health insurance plans and if yours offers out-of-network reimbursement, our services will likely qualify.
How did you get started in this business?
Bill was an athlete who was in pain and who sought to find or create a method that would help him and others get their lives back. Pain is debilitating and affects one’s whole life. Bill is now in his seventies but still runs every day...when he is not sailing!
What types of customers have you worked with?
We have worked with every type of musculoskeletal issue imaginable. The medical system is not set up to deal with and cure most musculoskeletal problems except by surgery or drugs and sometimes, their brand of physical therapy. We deal with knee pain and low back pain, which is the scourge of our times. That pain is unnecessary but people have to come to us to see how they can get their lives back. It takes a commitment and most of our clients have tried everything else and it didn’t work, so they are game to try our work.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
A young lawyer came to see us with right shoulder pain and a “clicking” in her hip joint on the left side. She had a MRI, x-rays, physical therapy, and a lot of ibuprofen. Nothing helped. It took so thirty-five minutes to level out her hips, correct the leg length imbalance on the left side,and eliminate the right shoulder pain. That was just a consult, not a full-blown session. She’ll be back for that two weeks from now, as she wants to know how to stay aligned and to move without pain.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
Talk to him or her. See what he thinks he can do for you. Look at the professional’s web site. Look at the testimonials. Is a quick fix or a serious progression to wellness? There is no quick fix. I wish there were.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
Can he or she commit to a program that demands a commitment? Can he or she do the daily work necessary to get back to nature’s design? Is the gym more important than being well? Chances are that the client’s health insurance plan might not cover all the expense of the service. How much do you want to be out of pain and get your life back?
