Andrew Temby, OTR/L
For 26 years, I’ve been treating people all over the country as an Occupational Therapist, in many different settings from orthopedic to neurological. I’ve become increasingly aware of how profound and powerful an effect the empathetic use of one's hands has on facilitating lasting restoration of natural movement patterns, mercifully easing pain and making lives easier to live in more fully.
I've discovered through its use that MFR helps people suffering through a wide spectrum of challenging conditions. On a personal note, my wife and I both recognized it was no coincidence that, almost immediately after I committed myself to pursue this path exclusively, the grand opportunity to work at Monadnock Myofascial Release has materialized. I am so grateful to be here, and I look forward to working with you.”

Sarah Dublin - Bookkeeping, Billing
Sarah is our bookkeeper and billing specialist with over 10 years of experience. When Sarah first learned that Monadnock Myofascial Release was looking for help with insurance billing she had never heard of myofascial release and went straight to the website to find out what it was. The first thing that caught her eye was mention of how myofascial release can help those who have hamstring injuries and Sarah indeed had a hamstring injury that she had not been able to find relief for using other modalities. Sarah was so excited about the prospect of being part of the MFR team and learning more about this work. Sarah came on board to help MFR with bookkeeping in 2019 and booked her first appointment soon after. Sarah has only grown with the company and taken on more responsibility since then.
While she doesn’t work in the office you may see her pop in from time to time. You’ll most likely hear from her in the form of an email with an invoice attached. Sarah understands insurance billing can be confusing and frustrating, especially when you’re experiencing pain, and hopes to make the process simpler and easier for patients. She welcomes questions via an email or phone call.
Sarah resides in Walpole with her husband, Steve, and their fur-babies. She enjoys walking dogs, gardening, bird watching and anything else that gets her outdoors. Sarah values honesty, integrity and kindness.
