| Meet the #gamechanger and rockstar doctor himself Dr. Ron Samaniego |
I hardly ever write reviews especially health related ones because I
know I’m no expert in that field. But I felt the service received by fellow Filipinos
from one of the most sought after (and probably the first Doctor of Physical
Therapy in the country) good-looking doctor named Dr. Ron Samaniego were so exemplary, it
deserved one.
If you’re into social media and you’ve been using Facebook, then I’m pretty sure you must’ve seen Dr. Ron’s sponsored video ads of his ActiveLife Chicago Physical Therapy Clinic on your news feeds. I had no idea I will be given the chance to meet the #gamechanger on health and physical wellness one day. But I did and I’m here to share with you what I have learned from him.

Dr. Ron is the
owner, operator and like I said earlier, he’s probably the first and only
Filipino doctor of Physical Therapy in the country today. He came to Chicago,
USA after tucking a degree and went on to become the doctor that he is now. The
best thing about him is that although his work is more lucrative in Chicago, he
had chosen to share his knowledge and expertise among his fellow Filipinos.

| Up close and personal, he could be John Lloyd Cruz' older brother |
A dead ringer for actor John Lloyd Cruz, Dr. Ron Samaniego's name may not
ring a bell yet for many, but for those people whose lives he was able to
improve and had the chance to become his patients, they believe that his name will soon become a household word for everyone.
 |
| Dr. Ron Samaniego patiently discussed his passion with his profession. |
When he first came
home to the country last year, Dr. Ron received a lot of flak because nobody
wanted to collaborate with him. He also learned that we don’t have a clinic for
physical therapy in the Philippines. Instead we rely on rehabilitation doctors who
work hand-in-hand with local PTs who still follows the old school way of
treating patients. And because Dr. Ron felt the need to help and become of
service to his fellow Pinoys, he opened his very first clinic in Mandaluyong
City in October of 2015.

Dr. Ron simply
wanted to introduce the innovative and proper way of treating patients, things
that he has learned during his practice as a physical therapy doctor in
Chicago. He decided to turn into social media and used Facebook as his venue to
share his videos as he treats his patients which later turned viral. And he
wasn’t expecting such a huge turn out with a massive inquiries of patients
after patients.
Pretty soon, Dr.
Ron was able to branch out in other parts of the metro. His clinic caters to
musculoskeletal problems. “I want people to get better. I wouldn’t come all the
way from Chicago to Manila if I’m not passionate about treating people. I’m
serious about changing the way people are treated here so I’d like to make use
of what I’ve learned and share them with my staff so that more people will
benefit from them,” enthuses Dr. Ron.
“We’re also planning
to put up more clinics so that they can be made available nationwide. So far we
have one provincial clinic (in Sta. Rosa Laguna) and another one in Pampanga. We'll soon be found in Bulacan, Eastwood and Abad Santos. We’d also like to put up clinics in Cebu and Davao by next year.”
Although I haven’t
really had the chance to try ActiveLife Chicago Physical Therapy Clinic, I
heard from friends that it truly had top notch service, facilities and care. I
am impressed how Dr. Ron integrates other beneficial therapies into his
practice. A friend of mine who had been his patient said that he has never
experienced such a thorough approach to health, wellness and recovery until he
has met and became a patient of Dr. Ron’s ActiveLife Chicago Physical Therapy
Clinic. According to my friend, he has referred several people and everyone who
gives it a try is happy with their results.
Dr. Ron was also
very kind and had patience as my blogger friends asked a million questions
about pain resolution and options. Thank you for your professionalism and
educated efforts for us to learn more about physical therapy.
“We’re no magicians
though. If we try to help you feel better about your health conditions and by
the end of the first session, we will be able to assess if we can do something
to help improve your condition better. If we think you need surgery, we will
honestly recommend you to do such.”
With Dr. Ron’s
comprehensive knowledge on physical therapy medicine + his good looks and
rockstar ‘cool’ attitude that puts his patients at ease, optimal health and
relief will be experienced. Now if THAT
doesn’t say how great his clinics are, I don’t know what it does.

He has been incredible at fixing issues
in the short term and more importantly long term. I would recommend ActiveLife
Chicago Physical Therapy clinic without
any reservation. Dr. Ron is knowledgeable (backed with 17 years of experience and practice) and up to date on all the latest
techniques and modalities. As a result he is able to modify and adjust each
treatment as necessary.
So again, what makes Dr. Ron Samaniego's ActiveLife Chicago Physical Therapy Clinic special? From Dr. Ron's website, here's what they say:
- We are not your typical physical therapists. We employ the power of laser therapy, manual therapy and other revolutionary tools to make your healing go faster! Chances are, you're no longer an athlete, and we believe that exercises might not be for everyone. Therefore, hot packs and electrical stimulation is not really our style.
- Toning tables are ideal for geriatric or injured populations due to the relaxation of over-used muscles and tightening of under-used muscles; this is done through the equal stimulation of deeply positioned postural control muscles. They are also reported to tone and tighten stomach and shoulder muscles to re-position the rib cage, pelvis and shoulders. They also attempt to stimulate increased blood, lymph and general body fluid circulation, which has been found to be problematic in people who find normal exercise and even walking difficult.
- Cold laser therapy is a non-invasive procedure, meaning that it does not require a surgical incision. This means that there is no prolonged recovery time. Laser therapy also does not involve taking any medications, and many patients prefer to avoid taking medications. Studies have so far found that cold laser therapy does not have serious side effects when used properly by a doctor. Most of all, it's FDA approved.
For now, allow me to schedule an appointment with our #gamechanger doctor.
