**Prevention saves lives**

Yesterday a 72 year old grandmother slipped in the bathroom at 2 in the morning
She fractured her right hip and was lying on the cold floor for hours until her daughter found her

It didn’t have to happen

In 12 years of treating hip and knee patients I’ve seen how every person has their own story
That’s why I created a joint restoration plan that’s unique for each one

Some questions I ask my patients
Do you have grab bars in the bathroom
Are there night lights guiding your path at night
Do you use non slip mats on wet floors

Many don’t realize the hidden risks
Arthritis affects balance and strength
Senior joints become unstable quietly over time
Regular checkups catch these early before they turn serious

Simple home changes cost less than a single fall
Early treatment keeps you steady
One injury can set you back for months

If you’ve been delaying help for hip or knee pain because you think it’s not that bad
That pain might be your body’s warning

Her fracture needed emergency surgery
But her arthritis had been left untreated for years

My goal is to give the best possible care through the joint restoration blueprint

If you’re worried about hip or knee arthritis just message me the word GUIDE
I’ll send you my Walking Back to Life guide

Let’s stay safe and strong

Words Touch Hearts

A patient messaged me yesterday and it moved me deeply

You genuinely care for your patients I felt it through your touch your words your guidance your samples and your healing plan thank you

Reading that reminded me why I chose to be a doctor

After 12 years treating hip and knee patients I’ve learned that every person is different That’s why I create a unique Joint Restoration Blueprint for each one I truly believe every pain has a solution and real results prove it

Healing needs connection

Care goes beyond procedures and medicine Every patient can feel if their doctor sees them as a person and not just another case Trust builds when they feel safe and cared for and healing happens faster when the stress goes down

Touch speaks louder than words

A simple exam can show more than just symptoms It shows presence respect and care When patients feel heard and understood hope returns and recovery speeds up

Gratitude gives purpose

That message reminded me why I spent 11 years training and over 60000 of my own money to master this work Every thank you means the world and reminds me this is a calling not just a career

That patient felt my care through every word every step every plan

And it’s why I’ll keep treating every patient like family

I will keep listening feeling understanding and doing my best to help you walk again through my Joint Restoration Blueprint

Worried about knee arthritis

Just message GUIDE and I’ll send you my Walking Back to Life guide

When hope feels lost

The other day a patient messaged me
"Pait gyod og pobri ka doc wala tay choice Ginoo nalay mag igo"

The pain was too much
They felt they had no choice but to endure it and pray for strength

When I read that message something in me broke
Because I’ve seen this feeling too many times

For the past 12 years I’ve been treating patients with hip and knee problems
Each one has their own story their own struggle
That’s why I created a Joint Restoration Blueprint
A plan that fits each patient’s life
Because I believe every pain has a solution

Pain makes us feel desperate
When you’re suffering and can’t afford help
It’s easy to feel powerless
Hope slowly fades

But I want you to know
You always have a choice

That’s why I offer free consultations
To remove the fear of not being able to afford help
Because when we understand what’s really going on
We can find real options
There’s always a way to move forward

God doesn’t want us to suffer in silence
Sometimes healing begins when someone listens
And shows you a path

This August 26 to 29
We’re offering a free Hip and Knee Consultation Clinic
For anyone who feels stuck in pain
Slots are limited so please message my secretary Joy
09959537978 or 09228117757

My promise is simple
I will listen
I will understand what you’re going through
And I will do my best to help you walk back to life

If you’re worried about hip or knee arthritis
Just message me the word GUIDE
I’ll send you my Walking Back to Life guide

Let’s take that first step together

**Did you know you can fly after hip/knee replacement ? Recent studies challenge the "wait 3 months" rule!**

📊 **2014 Study Results:**
• Patients flew average 2.9 days post-surgery
• NO increased blood clot risk vs non-flyers
• Proper precautions were key

📊 **Another study of 608 patients:**
• Flew average 6.5 days after surgery
• Only 0.82% developed DVT
• All used compression + movement

**What this means:**
✅ Individual assessment > rigid timelines
✅ Prevention methods work when used properly
✅ Your recovery progress matters most

*Still follow YOUR surgeon's advice - they know your specific case!*

Gratitude Heals

Yesterday a patient thanked God for her fractured hip

Most people curse their injuries but she smiled through tears and said this is my secret to resilience I thank God for everything even this

Shed lost her land her house even her son but still practiced gratitude

Before I could explain her surgery she declared Doctor I know Ill walk again

Thats when I realized something profound about healing

After 12 years treating hip and knee patients Ive discovered that each patient is unique Thats why there is a Joint Restoration Blueprint I have for each patient I see I believe every pain has a solution and results speak for themselves

Mindset Shapes Recovery
Grateful patients heal faster than bitter ones
Clear vision accelerates physical healing
Faith in recovery becomes self fulfilling prophecy

Fear Blocks Healing
Anxiety amplifies pain perception
Negative thinking delays tissue repair
Doubt creates resistance to treatment

Hope Powers Progress
Confident patients mobilize quicker
Optimism reduces inflammation naturally
Belief activates the bodys healing mechanisms

What most people dont know is that gratitude actually lowers cortisol levels and stress hormones that delay bone healing

Her fracture was severe but her spirit was unbreakable

That mental strength would carry her through surgery and recovery faster than any medication I could prescribe

Too many patients arrive defeated before treatment even begins

Theyve accepted pain as permanent and convinced themselves theyll never improve

But healing truly begins in the mind not the body

When you believe recovery is possible your entire system aligns to make it happen

My promise is to listen to touch to feel and understand what youre going through so I can give you the best care through my Joint Restoration Blueprint

Your hip or knee pain doesnt define your future your mindset about recovery does

# **World Class Care**

Yesterday...

A patient from Mindanao called asking if she needed to fly to Manila for her hip replacement.

I told her something that surprised her: "You don't need to leave Cebu."

World-class orthopedic care is already here at the Cebu Orthopedic Institute.

After 12 years treating hip & knee patients, I've discovered each patient is unique. That's why there is a Joint Restoration Blueprint I have for each patient I see.

**Advanced Technology Here**
• Latest surgical equipment available locally
• Modern implants same as international standards
• Comprehensive imaging and diagnostics

**Expert Training Matters**
• International fellowship trained surgeons
• Continuous education with global mentors
• Years of specialized experience

**Cebu Standard Excellence**
• No need for expensive Manila trips
• World-class outcomes in your backyard
• Family support close to home

If you've been told you need to travel far for quality hip and knee care, you're getting outdated information that costs you time and money unnecessarily.

The Cebu Orthopedic Institute brings international standards to your doorstep.

My promise is to give you the best care through my Joint Restoration Blueprint.

**Strength Returns Strong**

Yesterday, I received a video that made my day.

A young athlete, 26 weeks after ACL reconstruction, back in the gym pushing serious weight. His left knee - once torn and unstable - now supporting him through every rep.

After 12 years treating hip & knee patients, I've discovered that each patient is unique. That's why there is a Joint Restoration Blueprint I have for each patient I see. I believe every pain has a solution and results speak for themselves.

My promise is to listen, to touch, to feel, and understand what you're going through so I can give you the best care through my Joint Restoration Blueprint.

**Recovery Takes Courage**
- Athletes fear they'll never return to peak performance
- Many hear horror stories of teammates who never came back
- Some delay surgery hoping the torn ligament heals naturally

**Science Beats Fear**
- Modern ACL reconstruction restores complete stability
- Proper rehabilitation builds strength beyond pre-injury levels
- Athletes return to competition stronger than before

**Champions Get Back Up**
- This isn't about wishful thinking or false hope
- It's about proven surgical techniques and dedicated recovery
- Every setback becomes a setup for a stronger comeback

If you've been told that delaying ACL surgery "to see how it feels" makes sense, you're getting advice that puts your future at risk.

Torn ACL ligaments don't heal. They get worse. The longer you wait, the more damage occurs to surrounding cartilage and meniscus.

But here's what the medical system won't tell you: most delays happen because patients fear the surgery more than they fear permanent disability.

This young man's video proves what I see repeatedly in my practice - athletes don't just return to their sport, they often return stronger than before they were injured.

The ACL reconstruction techniques we use today deliver predictable timelines and reliable outcomes.

**Time is important in Fractures — We need to Act Fast

Yesterday an 82-year-old woman fell at home.

Her family rushed her to emergency but waited three days before anyone mentioned surgery.

Her daughter called me crying: "Doc, is it too late?"

After 12 years treating hip & knee patients, I've discovered each patient is unique. That's why there is a Joint Restoration Blueprint I have for each patient I see.

**Hours Matter Most**
• UK guidelines: 24-48 hours maximum
• Every delay increases complications
• Death risk doubles with delays

**Philippines Faces Reality**
• Families try hilot first
• Clearance takes days not hours
• Surgeons get postponed

**Right Surgeon Saves Lives**
• Hip specialists understand urgency
• Experience matters for fragile patients
• Technique determines survival

If you've ever felt helpless watching an elderly parent suffer while hospitals "prepare" for surgery, you understand why every hour counts.

My promise is to give you the best care through my Joint Restoration Blueprint.
