FUN is back in FUNctional Rehabilitation Clinics
Adding Pettibon Rehabilitation into a clinic setting can be FUN as proven in a recent set of photos we received from Dr. Ginzburg (thank you for your permission to share). Take a good look around your clinic ask yourself is your environment prepared for patients, does it have the feel that patients enjoy, how’s the Fun Factor?
The rehab area of this clinic appears to be patient ready and an enjoyable place for rehabilitation. As we get requests for recommendations on hanging the 2-piece traction wall mounts, thought this definately worth sharing.

Firm believer in The Pettibon System
I have corresponded with you before and this is an update. I finished my treatments with Dr. Logan in Medford at the end of May,2011. I have done a little home care since then, but only about 10 percent of normal. It has been 5 months and I am still relatively pain free. Only once did pain return over 2 or 3 days and I jumped on my chair and floor with the back supports underneath, and little by little I snapped out of it.
Yesterday my son and I went to the coast (I drove) and we walked over a mile on the beach. We drove 300 miles. I was completely pain free. So the 100 odd treatments during the 11 months in 2010-2011 had lasting results, and I am very satisfied with my investment. I firmly believe in your method and know that it has lasting, structural results. I still have all my home therapy utensils and will start again in earnest as preventive therapy is needed I know as I get older. Thank you for a year and a half of back improvement. I’M 95%, WERE I to measure, and that is great.

Pettibon Arrests Degeneration
We receive touching letters from time to time from patients and this one came in right before Christmas. When Sharon and Dr. Burl read it, Burl got tears in his eyes and said “that makes it all worth it.” Keep sending those letters in we love hearing the stories!
Dear Dr. Pettibon, Dec 23rd 2010
Merry Christmas! I contacted you two months ago, and want to give you an update on my progress. I have continued active treatment with Dr. Logan, here in Medford, and have stepped up my home care as time goes on. I invite you to examine my latest x-rays taken last week. I think you will be satisfied with my progress so far, as it must be kept in mind that I have considerable degeneration both in the neck and lower back. How much future progress remains to be seen, but it is incredible that your method not only has arrested the 40 year in progress degeneration, but it appears to be reversing the process. I take liberties in this offer, as these X-Rays belong to Dr. Logan, but I’m sure he would be willing to share them with you. I have one more month of active treatment, then I do a yearly one month trip to Tucson for a Gem show. I hope to resume treatment upon my return and will continue my home care in Arizona.
My goal is to someday see my X-rays on your home page and to hope to achieve that, I will have to work very hard. This won’t be hard to do at all, as my support group very well may be the best anywhere in the world!
Could that be an exaggeration? We shall see!
Sincerely yours, James W
