Testimonials

From Josh Dipaola:

Entrusting the care of your body with another person can be an intimidating and anxious

experience. With that being said, Josh has an exceptional ability to provide valuable myofascial

techniques with a mindful delivery towards an individual’s goals and concerns. Furthermore, the

techniques and approaches which he employs are derived from deep academic and personal

knowledge, being a well-accomplished albeit humble athlete himself.

From the perspective of my testimony, I have been involved in weight-training and other

strenuous physical activities over the course of more than two decades. In that time, I have incurred

chronic mild injuries as well as moderate acute injuries. I have spent years consulting with orthopedics,

physical therapists, and other massage therapists with some utility, but by far the work I have done with

Josh has been the most valuable. Specifically, I struggled to understand what has caused a contralateral

issue in my hip and lower back complex, why it caused pain, and why my years of personal techniques

did not provide long-term relief. I not only have received significant relief in symptoms since working

with Josh, but have also come to understand the underlying issue with measurable detail due to his

insight. This is an added value worth emphasizing- Josh helps you to conceptually navigate through the

issue as he solves it.

Whether you are an exceptional athlete or an individual simply looking to reduce pain and

dysfunctional in your body, the work provided by Josh is equally appropriate. It is rare to have a

therapist that has the background of an athlete, strong academic knowledge on human physiology, and

a compassionate delivery.

I am grateful to have completed the Basic Structural Integration Ten Series with Josh about two years after being diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. After chemotherapy, radiation and several surgeries, my body had gone through a lot and I didn't feel like myself; I feel like Josh's work was able to help put me back together and help to reset my structure and especially all the fascia impacted by the surgeries. After cancer treatment I also began to suffer from migraine headaches and Josh's work helped to ease the tension in my neck, reducing migraine symptoms. Josh also resolved my husband's long-standing back pain, which he describes as life changing! We are very grateful to have found Josh, who has a lot of expertise and dedication to his technique and each individual he works with. - Jackie Kunhardt

From Katie Burns - 

I recently completed a series of 10 sessions of structural integration work with Josh. 3 years ago, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent 2 surgeries, 3 months of chemotherapy, and 20 sessions of radiation. Since the first surgery, I have had pain, stiffness, and lingering tissue problems. After just the first couple of sessions, I already began to feel that something was changing. I had less pain overall, and better range of motion. However, as I got more sessions completed, the work actually broke through what I think was so much emotion and trauma that I have been carrying since the diagnosis and the emotional release that I went through was unbelievable. 

Now, looking back, I cannot believe how different I feel and how much my overall mental state has improved in addition to my physical state. I feel calmer and more relaxed, I am sleeping better, and I feel like a weight has been lifted both mentally and physically. To be able to clear out all that emotional baggage that came with having a cancer diagnosis, has been incredible - it was a weight lifted off that I think I desperately needed (but didn't really know at the time!). 

As I went through the process, Josh was patient, understanding, and kind, always allowing me to take the time I needed to get through it. Now that I am finished, I can't believe what a difference this has made for me. I recommend Josh's work so highly - if you have pain, or trauma, or any kind of "stuff" that you are carrying, please look into working with him. It will truly help you feel better!
