Heart Filled Testimonials
See what our patients have to say about us...
Anthony is my holistic physical therapist, whom I saw for an injury I
received unrelated to the below. During the duration of my visits, subtle
things started happening, they started out little then got bigger....and
here I am 4 months later....my life was given back to me....by him.
After 6+ years of frustration and pain I can now Walk without pain in my
foot, knee, and back. I can Wear summer sandals. I can wear a flat heeled dress
shoe. I can Get out of bed in the morning with the sole of my foot actually touching the ground. I threw my orthotics in the trash and don't miss trips to the chiropractor. I can actually say "let me put
my sneakers on to take a walk" instead of saying "I wish shoes were more
comfortable, I get tired of living in sneakers".
The physical and emotional transformation is overwhelming, and there is so much
more I can say, but for now from the bottom of my heart to the sole of my
foot I thank you. You've made a huge difference in my life.

For months I had been in and out of hospitals and emergency rooms due to complications from Abdominal surgery. Adhesions from the surgery made my life miserable with pain and life threatening constrictions. Surgeons and doctors were not able to give me much guidance or recommendations on how to live with this problem other than "see you later for the next operation". With the inevitability of yet another painful medical event, I was desperate to gain some control over my life.
I was referred to Anthony as someone who might be able to help me deal with the complications of adhesions, with its accompanying constipation, depression and a host of other maladies. Through kindness, compassion and an innate sense of where I needed healing, Anthony listened to my body and worked with me to bring me back to health.
Now, I no longer have painful episodes with adhesions, no more constipation, and am no longer anticipating the next trip to emergency room. I feel I have more control over my life, and have learned to listen to what my body is telling me. I now have a positive, mindful approach to life, with an awareness of what it is all about.
So, with much gratitude I thank you for helping to heal not only my body but also my mind and soul. Here's too many more years on this path of healthy enlightenment.

On the outside, I am a ‘normal’ healthy working woman with four children. I have had my bumps earlier in life, but I weathered them well enough through my faith, good friends and talk therapy. Eventually I’ve grown into a very functional life: working, having a fun social life, happily married, doing yoga, and attending Church.
One day I met Tony at the studio where I practice Pilates. He presented very whole. I inquired about ‘Structural Integrative therapy’. “What is this that he does?” I wondered. As a practicing speech language therapist, I was impressed with Tony, a physical therapist, taking a deeper approach to healing. As we all have our specific bodily issues, I entered into therapy with him to find out.
The results were dramatic, nothing like the other ‘therapies’ I experienced. This is good because the other therapies addressed issues of my mind and psyche, but the therapy Tony offered me was to my very cells. Now I realize that this sounds a bit ‘out there’, but as a student of movement and as a person who adopts a medical model, I see how ‘our issues become our tissues’. On the outside I moved on, but on the inside I had holding patterns. These holding patterns are the dark quiet places in my body. Tony is like going to a ‘body psychiatrist’ who gives you that space to observe those spaces within you. It has been a very healing experience for me.
I am very thankful to God that there are people who are insightful enough to walk with us to those dark quiet spaces. I trust Tony as an authentic person who will bring us to those places that need ‘light’. Yes, in some ways I feel like what happens in our therapy is spiritual because the truth comes before me in our therapy. It has led me to new ways to move and new ways to let go. The best is, however, that I now honor what I feel on a very cellular level. This honoring has allowed me to become more wholly myself…in body, mind and spirit.
