The following is a list of useful resources that
Dr. Gregory has chosen to share with his patients.
Independant Trainers:
* Richmond Kettlebell Club
http://www.richmondkettlebellclub.com/
804-741-1902
Cabell Jones, CSCS (One of the most creative trainers I have met)
They can take you from the end of rehab to having a solid basis to develop full function activities. I use them when I want to move my patients back into their sport, work or daily activities with a solid foundation of proper movement, power and endurance and to prevent future injuries.
Brad Atkinson - Personal Trainer

I have had more patients succeed with their program than any other. He has had extensive experience with people who have degenerative joints or replacements and after bariatric surgeries.
*Ortho On Call, urgent care for bone and joint injuries is handy when you don't have time to wait weeks and don't want all the problems with the ER.

Fibromyalgia and Chronic pain syndromes:
*Fibro Guide
http://fibroguide.med.umich.edu/fibroguide.html
Fibromyalgia has multiple factors, but we know for certain that when your musculoskeletal system isn't functioning right, it makes it worse - that's where chiropractic fits in.
Products and Vendors I Recommend
*Fleet Feet Sports
www.fleetfeetrichmond.com
This is a great place to find running shoes.
*Exercise sandals
http://www.optp.com/Exercise-Sandals
I recommend these regularly to runners. They help train the stabilizing muscles to contract rapidly in preparation for ground contact.
*Athletic Body In Balance by Gray Cook
http://amzn.com/0736042288
I recommend this book if you want to work on improving your overall strength, flexibility, and stability. It is a great resource if you can work from a book and are self-driven. Please come to me with questions if you need help understanding the information or performing any of the exercises.
*Mattresses from Casper
https://casper.com/pel
This is a source for affordable foam combination mattresses. You can order online with free shipping and return it for free if you don't like it. It's a great way to try out a mattress with no worries.
There are other potentially good foam mattresses available on the internet.
