How we got up here to Fairhaven….
Ralph & Jen Havens
Our 13 year adventure
We have some big news!
Jen and I have moved our physical therapy clinic to Fairhaven! And we’re going to be doing something really cool for Halloween and to kick off November.
I wanted to write this today, because I wanted you all to know what happened and how we got up here to Fairhaven.
We’ve been living in Fairhaven since November last year and as I was running along the inter-urban trail this morning, I was thinking about how amazing it’s all been.
Back in 2011 I had been living in San Diego with Jen in Mission Hills, an amazing place and we had Mission Hills Physical Therapy. I was 1 mile to Balboa park’s trails and we had great friends and an amazing life….
Something was about to happen and get us moving…
It all started in February 2011.
Something strange was going on… Medicare payments for our physical therapy clinic stopped after we switched some billing software.
I had 5 PT’s working for me and we had been paying payroll out of our own savings and our home equity….
And along the way there was smoke coming into our office from the downstairs acupuncture clinic. He had been there for years, but somehow now we were literally getting smoked out!
So we moved the clinic to our home and laid off all but 2 employees, a PT and a biller…
Then later in May 2011 I had what I thought was a running injury. Severe bone pain in my knee. I couldn’t run!
This started me on a 2 year journey trying to heal.
I went to many PT’s, chiro’s and doctors of all sorts. They were concerned something was terribly wrong. But none of them had any answers for me…
It got to the point that I couldn’t walk more than 10 minutes, because my legs were wobbly and I was losing muscle mass.
I thought I was dying…
By 2013 I had figured it out. I found what was in the way of my healing, solved it and got the specific remedy and I was back to running.
If you want to know more about that healing journey, let me know and I can tell you what I found and how I healed.
So by 2013 I was healed and back to running….
And Jen and I decided to move, to get the heck out of San Diego and go live where we wanted to live.
I had always wanted to live in the pacific northwest, even as a kid growing up in West Texas.
So we jumped! Big changes!
“We’re moving, we just don’t know where to!”
4 months in a tent and in our truck traveling through Oregon, Washington… What were we doing?
We even thought of Vancouver Canada… Looking for where we were to live….
Halloween weekend of 2013 we drove into Bellingham! We knew right away we were home…
Along the way, we sold our San Diego home and bought out in Maple Falls. We thought we’d be homesteaders… a simpler life…
But God definitely had another idea for us….
We knew we had our home here somewhere.
What I dreamed about ever since I was in West Texas looking at my Track & Field News magazines of runners running in the PNW…
So we moved back to Bellingham…
We were living out by the lake…
And one day my oldest boy said,
“Papa, I want to live in Fairhaven”….
And I thought “I know I know”…. But how?….
We jumped and moved into our home in Fairhaven last November….
this had been brewing for a long time…. And we knew the next step had to happen….
So now this October, Halloween, we’re moving into our new Physical Therapy office in the heart of Fairhaven by the Village Green.
We’re at the start of the SouthBay Trail and right across the street from Village Books and village green!
So here we are:
Beyond Limits Physical Therapy
South Bay Suites
Corner of 10th and Mill by the South Bay Trail!
We’re excited to be here and to be part of Fairhaven.
I want you all to know, Jen and I are committed to be a big part of Fairhaven and help heal people who are dealing with pains, injuries and health challenges.
Runners, walkers, others who haven’t found their answers to heal yet.
I know what it’s like to not be able to run…
When I was at my lowest, I kept searching and I found a way to heal and get my running back.
I want you to know that if there’s a pain or health challenge and doctors and others don’t have answers yet, I’m here to help.
The key is to find out what is at the root cause.
So Jen and I are going to be doing some Thursday evening Free treatment and healing clinics…
Actually I will be doing them because Jen takes care of everything else in our life! 🙂
So we’re here for In-person Integrative Physical Therapy sessions for you and your family.
With 39 years of healing experience as an Integrative Physical Therapist for runners, walkers and others ….I’ve been helping people solve chronic pains, running, & walking injuries, and autoimmune conditions ….
So here’s the news!
Each Thursday we’re going to be doing a FREE
Runners & Walkers Injury prevention and treatment clinics at 6 pm. We’ll be starting them in November as we get our P.T. clinic set up.
If you or someone you care about is dealing with pains or chronic conditions, you can let them know about these Thursday 6 pm sessions at our office.
In the meantime drop by or call or message us.
We want to connect and be a bigger part of Fairhaven and help you get your health back and do what you’re here to do in this wonderful world.
So glad to be here with you!
