Vladimir Camurungan emphasized the critical role of physical therapy in managing pain, enhancing mobility, and preventing injuries during his speech at the grand opening of PTXperts.
According to Camurungan, therapeutic exercises and manual techniques are invaluable tools for recovery, allowing patients to avoid relying on medication or additional surgeries.
“Physical therapy is essential for long-term health and mobility,” said Camurungan, a partner in the newly launched health and wellness brand. He explained that by using physical therapy techniques, patients can rehabilitate after surgery or injury and regain their strength without the need for further medical interventions. “By addressing the root cause of pain through targeted exercises and hands-on methods, we help the body heal naturally.”
Camurungan is one of the partners of celebrity couple Mariz and Ronnie Ricketts, alongside industry experts Dr. Eugene Ketselman, Roly Dimol, and Dr. Andrei Altavas, in their new wellness brand, PTXperts.
The clinic, located in Victoria Sports Tower in Quezon City, focuses on offering comprehensive orthopedic, spine, and sports physical therapy services. It aims to provide relief from pain and improve overall wellness.
Mariz, an actress and entrepreneur, explained that their involvement in PTXperts aligns with their belief in preventive care. “We’ve always believed in the benefits of physical therapy,” she said. “It’s not just for recovery but also for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. When you’re healthy, you’re happy.”
The clinic’s mission goes beyond just rehabilitation. It allows patients to better manage their health and prevent future injuries through education and consistent care. “We’re here to help people understand that physical therapy is for everyone,” said Camurungan. “Physical therapy plays a critical role in recovering from an injury or just looking to maintain your health as you age.”
The clinic stands out for its focus on delivering advanced care based on US training and expertise. The PTXperts team brings world-class physical therapy techniques to the Philippines, ensuring Filipino patients receive the highest standard of care.
“We’ve trained extensively in the United States, and we’re bringing those skills back home to provide the same level of care that’s recognized internationally,” Camurungan said. The clinic uses cutting-edge methods such as dry needling, ultrasound-guided electrolysis, and mechanical diagnosis and therapy (MDT), which have been proven effective in managing musculoskeletal and spine-related issues.
Ronnie Ricketts, a well-known action star and martial artist, is a strong advocate of physical therapy, citing it as a key part of his daily routine.
“I work out every day,” he said, mentioning his gym at home where he starts his day at 5:00 a.m. He highlighted the importance of health in maintaining an active lifestyle. “Healthy living is the foundation of everything. If you’re healthy, you feel better about yourself, and you can achieve more,” he added.
PTXperts, according to Ricketts, caters to patients recovering from surgeries, sports injuries, and chronic conditions such as back pain and arthritis. In addition to traditional physical therapy, the clinic also focuses on preventive care, aiming to empower people to lead healthier, more active lives as they age.
As Ricketts put it, “Our goal is to help people live pain-free, active lives without having to depend on medications or surgeries.”
“We focus on innovative, US-trained techniques and personalized care,” he ended.
