Press Release Body =
Mr. Siegel, is a specialized strength and conditioning coach who is experienced at
working with patients struggling with a variety of medical problems and the
physicians who treat them. He is dedicated to helping people improve their health
and wellbeing evidenced by his years of ongoing service as a multiple site-director
for HealthSouth Outpatient Physical Therapy offices. Mr. Siegel is making available
his impressive experience managing corporate onsite rehabilitation programs as well
as physical therapy for many doctor referred patients who have musculo/skeletal
issues. In addition, Mr. Siegel is experienced working with top professional and
amateur athletes to improve their performance utilizing his special brand of
strength and conditioning and sports psychology. He is adding one more challenge to
his impressive resume by providing consultation services to Oasis for Wellness.

Jim Hughes reports \"Perry is a top notch professional. He has a wealth of knowledge
in the area of group exercise and fitness and its influence on medical conditions
and health. He is the perfect person to help us, help the doctor referred clients in
our specialized stress reduction and evidenced-based exercise program. We really
want to help people \'live better longer\' and Perry is an essential piece of the
puzzle. We are please he is helping our clients and their referring doctors."

Paul Bratslavsky, an exercise specialist, who for years has helped people lose
weight and improve their health with exercise, stated \"an article came out in
American Family Physician stating \'the highest energy expenditure had the lower
mortality risk.\' It is this type of energy expending exercise that Mr. Siegel
specializes in. It can have a big impact on peoples\' health and wellbeing. I enjoy
working with professionals, like Perry, who bring a wealth of knowledge on current
research and how to put it to work helping those who need it --this stuff really
works!\"

Mr. Siegel commented in an interview from his home, "I am looking forward to helping
people with diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, hypothyroidism, obesity and the
like. They need good evidenced-based exercise as much as my regular physical therapy
clients who I see in my day job do. In fact, I was just reviewing some journal
articles where the national recommendations for physical activity from the American
College of Sports Medicine and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention state
that all adults should accumulate 30 minutes a day of moderate intensity activity on
5 or more days per week. However, only 32% of US adults achieve that level." Up
until now, there have been no resources available in the Hartford region for doctors
who want to help their (non-musculo/skeletal issue) patients with good solid
structured evidence-based exercise protocols.
