Dr. Kiell is a retired psychiatrist from Far Hills, NJ who has competed in marathon running and long distance swimming most of his adult life.  One of his previous books, American Miler, is a biography of miler Glenn Cunningham who overcame serious burns in a schoolhouse fire as a child to win a silver medal for the United States in the 1500 meter run in the 1936 Olympics.

Here is a sample:

A self-supporting program, Swim, Inc., has seven other chapters, all in New Jersey. The group was founded in 1975 by Doris and Russ Hollingsworth. A registered nurse, she suffered from arthritis and they built an indoor pool at their home.
When she realized that the swimming was helping her arthritis, she began inviting friends and acquaintances who also had disabilities which limited their mobility to come exercise.

As a Bernards High student Dr. Brian led the inaugural ice hockey program to 2 championships and continued that tradition playing hockey in college. His commitment to discipline, personal empowerment, and the wellness model of healthcare makes him a leading practitioner in “staying well” in the Somerset Hills Community.

While at chiropractic school Dr. Brian was a part of the Presidential Leadership Team which was a group involved in increasing the vision of the chiropractic profession as a student. Dr. Brian also was an assistant coach to the Life University ice hockey team for the last two years of his studies.

Water therapy is a natural therapy based on the use of water in prevention and treatment of diseases, rehabilitation, and improving ones overall well being. Water therapy is important after any type of injury because the buoyancy of the warm water permits movement and allows patients to begin therapy sooner than on land. There are many benefits associated with aquatic therapy which include:

• Decreased weight-bearing load on joints
• Increased flexibility and range of motion
• Increased muscle strength
• Decreased muscle soreness and stiffness
• Improvement of balance, posture, and coordination
• Increase in heart and lung function
• More rapid rehabilitation
• Decreased pain, both during and after exercise
• Joint protection while exercising
• An improved sense of physical and mental well-being

Water therapy has been shown to benefit patients suffering from debilitating pain, diabetes, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, and other illnesses, which has greatly increased their overall health and well-being. I highly recommend water therapy to anyone who is suffering from debilitating pain or disease, as well as those just looking for a new way to exercise. I have seen the miraculous improvements some of my own patients have made participating in the SWIM program.

Yours in health,

Dr. Brian Wallace
