DR. MATT BUFFAN
Clinic Director

I was too late…

When I first launched my medical career – it was all wrong.

I wanted to do something of value, to help people in an impactful way. I earned a degree in psychology from SUNY Geneseo. I had research skills. So, I started working with cancer patients who were involved in clinical trials.

After all, what’s more meaningful than helping cancer patients, right?

I was responsible for setting patients up on new experimental drugs. Most of the time, these were terminally ill patients. These were the people that everyone had all but given up on. At this point, what did they have to lose?

The thing is…

Working with these people in this way didn’t feel right.

Now, don’t get me wrong. These patients were the most amazing people I had ever met. They were so strong and resilient. They were able to persevere despite the extreme pain and drastic changes to their body they experienced as a result of their disease and their treatment.

But I was helping make these people into nothing more than data points in a clinical trial.

I wanted to do more for people. But what?

That’s when the realization struck me…

I wanted to help people BEFORE they reach the end stage. I wanted to help them before they needed palliative care. I wanted to help people live their very best life with health and vitality.

It was at this time that I discovered a profession in which I could help people get rid of pain naturally and live a life fully in line with what nature intended for us.

I was going to be a chiropractor!

Well, I studied at New York Chiropractic College and I became a chiropractor…

And it STILL wasn’t enough!

Through my journey into chiropractic care and beyond, I have learned a VERY important thing…

People need someone who can figure out the root cause of their pain.

Now, I had learned a lot up to this point. My chiropractic studies had taught me about anatomy, neurology, pathology, and healing without drugs and surgery. It was amazing.

Yet, it STILL wasn’t enough!

I had to dig deeper.

To do that, I became a conference junkie. I travelled across the country, learning about functional rehabilitation, biomechanics, motion palpation, and advanced soft tissue techniques to resolve fibrous adhesion.

Big words, I know. But I finally had all the pieces!

I decided to become a soft tissue expert. I became certified in Adhesion Release Methods™ (ARM). And I developed my Movement Rx prescription for pain. Movement Rx has literally given people their life back from the day I started using it. Now I instruct other doctors for Adhesion Release Methods, to help more people around the world relieve suffering and frustration from pain that has not responded to traditional treatments.

DAN
Clinical Assistant

Hi! I’m Dan, a clinical assistant at Movement Rx Pain Relief.

I’m excited to be here because I want to help people do what they love to do without worrying about their body!

When I started working with Dr. Matt, I had recently ended a career traveling as a professional musician. (I play the bass!) I knew that a desk job wasn’t going to work for me.

Since starting here, I really enjoy meeting people who are in a tough place that need a plan solving their problem. I love seeing them make functional progress, and learning about what they love to do.

For me, I love getting treatment so I can be on the mountain, biking or skiing, playing lacrosse and jamming on my bass!

Patient Care Coordinator

Hi! I’m Shiena, the Patient Care Coordinator at Movement Rx Pain Relief.

I’m really grateful that I’m able to help our patients (though can’t meet them personally) even in small ways – setting up their appointments and assisting other concerns.

I like watching Korean Dramas during my free time. Their stories are amazing and I get to see new twists in each episode.

I was a Team Lead in the BPO industry for almost 4 years before I finally landed this job which I definitely love and enjoy. I always felt great awe for this team, plus the work-life balance this job has to offer.
