Dr. Brent Smith Joins Arlington Chiropractic
r. Gregory Bauer of Arlington Chiropractic is pleased to wel-
come Dr. Brent Smith to his growing practice. Smith is a licensed active- release-technique provider and certi- fied chiropractic nutritionist who will help to expand the hours of avail- ability at Arlington Chiropractic. “It’s become obvious to me over this past year that we needed to make some changes in order to better accommo- date our patients,” says Bauer. “We began searching for an extraordinary doctor who would be the right fit for our practice and we found Dr. Smith, a warm, caring and skilled chiroprac- tor with the finest credentials.” Prior to joining Arlington Chiro- practic, Smith practiced in St. Louis, where he focused on family health and sports medicine. A former col- legiate soccer player, Smith under- stands the demands placed on active bodies and hopes to help more peo- ple lead pain-free, healthy lives. “I’m impressed with Dr. Smith’s tendency to go above and beyond basic con- tinuing-education licensing require- ments,” Bauer adds. “He participates in multiple advanced-rehabilitation, soft-tissue and nutrition seminars and has a true love of learning.”

New Classes in Belmont for Core and Pelvic-Floor Support
onna Ognibene, owner of Bodytrio studio, in Bel- mont, is please to announce two new and unique classes for those looking to target and strengthen core and pelvic-floor muscles. PelviCore is a functional workout that gets the core muscles moving in a strong, coordinated manner. Developed by a physical therapist, this cardiovascular workout was designed to enhance strength, coordination and balance in the abdomen, hips, back, gluteal muscles and pelvic floor. “A missing link in many fitness programs is an awareness of the pelvic floor as a very important part of the core, and an area where many experience long-term discomfort and

weakness,” says Ognibene. “Many traditional classes can, in fact, further exacer- bate pelvic floor and core weaknesses or related problems.” The other new class is Bodytrio Barre, which offers dynamic balance and standing core work, unlike abdominal work that is usually done on the floor. “Our own Total Body class with the addition of barre work optimizes cardio, strength, flexibility and balance using fun and functional movements that translate to every- day wellness as well as athletics,” says Ognibene. “The barre acts as an additional prop and has nothing to do with dance or ballet, but everything to do with length and strength.”
Bodytrio is located at 21 Alexander Ave., Belmont. For more information, call 617-489-1319, email

Mindfulness-Based Stress- Reduction Program at Visions HealthCare
isions HealthCare in Wellesley, presents an eight- week program on mindfulness-based stress-reduc- tion this spring. The program begins with a free, no-obli- gation orientation at 7 p.m. on April 11 at Visions. “The Mindfulness-Based Stress- Reduction program designed by Jon Kabat-Zinn is gradually becoming recognized by the medical world as having positive effects on physical and mental health,” says Stephanie Travers, marketing coordinator at Visions HealthCare. “Our orienta- tion offers a free opportunity to experience mindfulness, perhaps for the first time, as well as an effective way for frequent meditators to take their practice further.” Visions’ mindfulness facilitator Patricia Howard says the eight-week program will enable people to take an active role in their health on all levels. “Most people are bombarded by their thought processes and they beat themselves up and belittle themselves,” she says. “In eight weeks they can learn to witness their thought pro- cesses without being driven by them.”
Visions HealthCare is an integrative medical and wellness center located on Route 9, at 170 Worcester St., 2nd flr., Wellesley. For more information or to register, call 781-431-1333, ext. 131, email
