I've been working with Dylan for a couple months now and am loving the program he has set up for me. We meet every week for an hour or sometimes more and he has set up a personalized plan to treat my chronic migraines that can fit comfortably into my life. After only going to doctors for the past 20+ years with little success and a lot of frustration, it feel like a breath of fresh air to be working with someone who is taking such a wholistic approach, but who still has immense knowledge of brain science and the latest migraine research. I also really appreciate that Dylan speaks from a place of experience having had chronic migraines for years himself. One of my biggest triggers is physical activity which is hard for me because I love to play and be active and I have a relatively physical part time job. So far in the program I am working out consistently for the first time ever with a lot of success and in a way that doesn't trigger a migraine. Dylan has also helped me immensely with my sleep. The other huge thing I think this program has helped with is my general emotional outlook, I feel so much more capable and trusting in my body and hopeful about my migraines. I'm able to take a bad migraine day or week much more in stride without getting really down. Dylan has already greatly improved my quality of life while living with chronic migraines and I'm really excited to see how the migraines continue to improve and what else I'm able to gain in my life for the first time in many years. I think he is filling a need in how we approach chronic migraines that feels so right and effective and that wish everyone struggling with migraine had access to.
Although I've known Dylan for a few years before this past October, I didn't realize the scope of what he struggled with, was what I had dealt with for years as well. Migraines can disrupt your entire life, and I have dealt with them for a while, more prominent, severe, and ongoing since at least 2017, as far as I can recall. I've been on triptans, stuff like propranolol, and finally found one that really worked, but even with insurance was over $500 for 5 tablets, Nurtec. I have even taken stuff like flexorel to help...but all those meds still didn't really help. Even some of those meds made me feel worse than the migraines themselves. That's no life at all! When I reached out to Dylan, back in October, I honestly didn't realize he dealt with migraines for a while as well, and he had been working seeing what worked for him over the years, to help him to relieve the strain that migraines had on school, work, life, relationships. The amount of time lost that will never be gotten back. When we connected about the program, I was open to trying it out with him. The first couple of weeks, honestly were difficult getting the body used to the workouts. I haven't actually been to a gym since getting out of high-school, and even at home, never really worked out much...my job on a normal day was the workout. I have been working with Dylan doing the online meetings with him, discussing exercises not just for strength, but for mobility and flexibility. Sleep patterns, ways to mitigate stress, and healthier eating habits... we've been working together for about 16 weeks now. Some of my mobility issues have since regained that flexibility, most of the migraines I've had, since have diminished in severity, and frequency. From 3 to 4 severe migraine attacks a week, down to a mild 1 to 2 every couple of weeks. The other thing I also just realized, this past week, I haven't had to take prescription migraine medicine like Nurtec or Rizatriptan since about early December. Which is about 6 weeks or so after Dylan started working with me. I have full range of motion back in my shoulder. Do I still have bad days? Absolutely. But not as severe, and not as frequent. Is it difficult? Absolutely. But what's more difficult is not being able to live a full life because your migraines take over, prescription meds mess with your body to the point that you still can't function fully. Life passing you by because you're stuck in an endless cycle.
My therapist was Dylan Wells. He was so polite, positive and friendly. He became such a blessing to me because he knew just what to do to stop the pain in my arm that had been going numb and hurting horribly for months. He helped me when the Doctors couldn't. I kept going to him for a long time after that to keep working on strengthening my arm and working on other parts of myself that were hurting... This is the best physical therapy experience l've ever had!.. You won't be disappointed!!!
I was in a pretty bad car accident a little while back. Luckily I was able to find the best care possible led by Dylan and his team. The level of service and professionalism here is beyond reproach! I would highly recommend Dylan and his entire team for any of your needs, regardless of the injury's impact. These guys have been absolutely phenomenal and I highly recommend them. If there would be an option to give six stars versus five, I would certainly do so! Thanks guys for your amazing support!!!
"I have been really amazed with my progress since starting PT...My goals in PT are to be able to do whatever activities I want, like progressing with weight training, going on backpacking trips, and biking around a national park without physical limitations. Dylan has helped me tremendously with areas of chronic weakness and pain. I told him early on that I'm a bit of a geek and I want to know whatever knowledge he can share with me to help me better understand and support my body and he has always taken time to educate me. I also was not expecting to have him solve my debilitating migraine and neck problems, which wasn't the initial reason I came in! Forever grateful for that!.."
"This course is showing me I can be proactive and genuinely help myself live a better life, and try to reduce migraine days. For the first time, I feel empowered! The traditional healthcare system seems to just drop the ball with migraines."
"This guy's helped me so much! I've never felt so healthy and fit in my life. He's put together an exercise programme for me that is really effective and I feel way stronger than I've ever been. I cook delicious, satiating food without depriving myself of the dishes I like (always in moderation). If you want to make a change, and you are willing to change yourself first and your perception about food and exercise, then I don't know what you are still waiting for..."
"I had migraines and headaches for more than half a year [around daily], and I also suffered from severe back pain for the same amount of time. I visited multiple doctors: neurologists, rheumatologists, and orthopedics, but nothing really helped. Dylan was the first person who truly guided me toward a long term lifestyle change, not just a temporary solution. He helped me build a routine with a healthier diet a personalized exercise training, and much more. I noticed a difference from the very first session. My migraines started improving immediately and then completely disappeared. It has been a month now, and I can honestly say I am finally living a normal life again, without constant headaches and migraines. My back is also feeling much better, and I have my life back thanks to Dylan. 100% recommended."
"Dr. Dylan has been integral in helping to change my quality of life. I have been chronically been dealing with migraines for over a decade and disabled by them for almost two years. I had intractable vestibular migraines EVERY DAY. After working with Dylan for just a couple of months, I have now slashed the number of days in half. And with more work, I plan on more migrain-free days ahead. Dylan helps educate you about your migraine, and then guides you through the process of getting well (yes, you can get well and it's absolutely reasonable to expect to do so) in a guided, paced, coaching system. We meet weekly and we work on pieces of Dylan's 7 pillar progam together. When i get frustrated, he's there to help me work through it, and we always find ways to celebrate success. He's the "yeah I know I need to sleep/exercise/eat better" person that really helps you figure out YOUR migraine and how to actually do those healthy things when you feel like crap. I highly recommend Dr. Dylan and I'm so grateful he is one of my most valued healthcare providers. I'm looking forward now to more migraine-free days and planning what a different life can look like. Oh, he helps with that, too."
"Dylan is the best. He not only shows he actually cares about his work, but has the education and knowledge to back it up. I've made MASSIVE progress since working with him."
"Dylan helped me so much to reduce the frequency of migraines. When he first started treating me, I was having them multiple times a week; sometimes lasting days. I was miserable. Dylan got me on a plan which I have consistently followed. I started experiencing migraines less and less and now, more than a year later, it's incredibly rare for me to even have one! Some of the things that used to trigger me like certain dairy products, I was eventually able to bring back in to my life.... yay cheese! Travel has historically been a trigger as well, now I know that if I do my exercises the day before or the day of travel, I'll be alright. I'm much more in tune with my body and its health. Thanks, Dylan!"
