Celebrity entrepreneur couple Mariz Ricketts and Ronnie Ricketts lead the inauguration of the Manila branch of their PTXperts Physical Therapy Clinic last October 4, at Victoria Sports Tower in Quezon City. Prominent entertainment and political personalities attended the event including Senator Jinggoy Estrada, actress and Cavite's 2nd district representative Lani Mercado, actor and former Pampanga Governor Mark Lapid, and actress-singer Ara Mina.

The clinic, which offers personalized treatment plans with state-of-the-art facilities and equipments, is led by experienced and certified experts Dr. Eugene Ketselman, Dr. Roly Dimol, Dr. Andrei Altavas, and Dr. Vladimir Camurungan.

"Some of you know that we all need physical therapy at some point in our lives, right? And traditionally, we always operated under the guidance of rehabilitation medicine. Sometimes, if you need to go for back pain, neck pain, or any pain sa katawan, where do you go and who do you choose to go? This is also for public awareness. We want to you to have immediate care and immediate treatment sa mga symptoms ninyo," said Altavas, Doctor of Science in Physical Therapy (DSc) and specializes in Orthopedic Rehabilitation.

"We specialized in basic muscular, skeletal and orthopedic conditions mainly. We operate with what we called 'direct access' which can see patients without any referral from your doctors to determine whether you are a candidate for a physical therapy," he added.

"This actually started with a simple dream which is to provide Filipinos with the best and safest non-surgical treatment for musculoskeletal health. My goal is basically to bring all these wonderful treatments that are available outside, however not available in the Philippines, just to make sure that every Filipino has access to this very effective treatment that does not involve a lot of medicine and surgery." said Dimol, a highly experienced Certified Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapist with over 20 years of clinical expertise, during his speech.

"With dedication and passion for the field of physical therapy, we are pleased to introduced to you our state-of-the-art clinic equipped with modern physical therapy facilities and a team of experienced physical therapists. Here, we are committed to providing quality Physical Therapy Services for everyone, ranging from physical therapy consultations, evaluations, to physical therapy diagnosis and treatments," Camurangan told and also assured that their focus goes beyond professionalism and reputation.

"We also emphasize creating a healthcare environment that is approachable and friendly. Our clinic staff constantly strive to establish a sense of safety and reassurance for you when you avail our services. The inauguration of our clinic is a source of immense pride and we hope it becomes a reliable destination meeting all your physical therapy needs as well as those of our community. In conclusion, we extend our heartfelt appreciation for your interest and support on this inaugural day."

Meanwhile, Mariz conveys her elation about the opening of the clinic and collaborating with a dream team of physical therapy experts, "Dream come true talaga yan. Yung mission nila parati nilang sini-share sa amin… Kasi nga gusto nilang tumulong. Gusto nilang mag-cure, mag-treat ng mga tao. Masaya kami na… when they decided na finally they’re going to put up a clinic and we said, ‘Go kami diyan. We’re going to join you, guys!"
