He also has all sorts of PhysioTherapy Toys, weights, balls+++
Chiropractic Moves
He is even skilled to work on children!
EVERY time I've seen Dr. Ravery, I have felt a noticable difference and he did a GREAT job on me and most of the people I've shared his information with!!
Of course it's up to ME to continue the treatments/therapy as it's been because of MY laziness/unconscousness, that's created the improperly formed muscles to do what they're doing over time and that CAN NOT change overnight (unless I set up some sort of contraption on my desk chair to sit me up properly!! Of course, have I practiced what I preach here - NOT!!]).
Dr. Shahin Ravery usually spends on average at LEAST 45 minutes with his patients (how many other chiropractors you've been to in Costa Rica spend that kind of time or have those types of tools? How many simply crack you and you're outta there [which I've heard often happens from MANY patients]. Hey - if that works for your body and you're making GOOD noticeable progress - FANTASTIC!!! If not, perhaps it's time to try another option!!!!).
(NOTE: Contrary to the b.s. some people may tell you (and ya get to look at where THEY'RE coming from/who they're friends with [there's LOTS of "Lack Mentality" here - especially by people in the same profession]) - he IS a member of/certified by the Colegio de Profesionales en Quiropractica de Costa Rica)
LANGUAGES: Dr. Ravery speaks VERY GOOD English (he lived in the U.S. for 21 years and got his degree in chiropractic there), Persian (his mother tongue) and Spanish VERY fluently
HOURS: Mon.-Fri. 11am-1pm, 3-7pm, Sat. 9-11am (by appointment)
