The Benefits of Functional Medicine

Apex Physical Therapy and Fitness is excited to welcome Dr. Mary Valvano and Dr. Terry Tranchemontagne from BetterNow Medicine in Amherst, NH to be the speakers at our next FREE Community Class!

Dr. Valvano and Dr. Tranchemontagne will be sharing their knowledge of functional medicine, how it differs from traditional western medical practice and how it pertains to injuries, fitness and overall health.

Dr. Mary Valvano is board certified in Emergency Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine. She has been saving lives in New Hampshire emergency rooms for over 20 years. She received her MD from the University of Vermont and trained in Emergency Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh. She has practiced Lifestyle Medicine since 2020 and enjoys sharing the science of this medical treatment with patients. She is an Air Force veteran and works as an Aviation Medical Examiner with the FAA. She has raised children and many dogs in Amherst with her husband over the past 25 years.

Dr. Terry Tranchemontagne is a board-certified Internal Medicine Physician with over 25 years of experience. She graduated from the University of New England, College of Osteopathic Medicine, and completed her residency at UMASS Memorial in Worcester, MA. A Nashua native, she had worked her entire career in Southern NH as a primary care doctor. Terry values the opportunity and privilege to develop long-term professional relationships with her patients. However, over the last several years, she witnessed the evolution of the primary care environment into fragmented care driven by time constraints and a huge volume of patients. She embraces the BetterNow paradigm of partnering with patients to optimize their health and management of chronic and acute conditions. She prioritizes a work-life balance that allows her to equally enjoy her profession and her other priorities: family, boating, travel, hiking, biking, and time with her dogs.
