Tavo Total Health

I’ve know Phil for years and he is continually taking classes to improve himself and his skills in myofascial release! He is caring and compassionate about his work and very knowledgable.
I no longer have migraines and menstrual issues. Myofascial release (MFR) has changed my life. If you are in pain there is no other bodywork that is more healing than MFR.
Phil is also an author and «What’s In Your Web» is a great book to read from therapists that has truly felt the healing power of MFR. I highly recommend you read it and book an appt. with Phil and Kathleen.

My sessions with Phil at Tavo health have been among the most beneficial treatments I have received. It was challenging to get an appointment with him, because he is so well-​thought of that his schedule fills up quickly. Once I got in to see him, I understood why.
His work is physical therapy — but much more. His knowledge is remarkable, attention and focus during treatment complete, and the use of myofascial release is at a level few practitioners achieve.
Myofascial release, I have learned, is an understanding that the fascia of the body (the white stuff that surrounds meat that you buy) is like a single suit surrounding all of our muscles and organs. It can get tight in areas as we get dents and dings or have accidents or surgery in life. Amazingly, releasing those dents and dings can sometimes release emotions around the pain held in the body. Phil’s kindness and care allowed me to feel safe and comfortable as my body adjusted and regained stability which significantly decreased pain.
I traveled far for my appointments, so I tended to schedule longer sessions. I think that was beneficial, as we really got a chance to release the muscles and fascia that were restricted.
He also spent time teaching me how I could do exercises to maintain the improvements he helped me achieve. Following that guidance has also been very helpful.

Phil is extremely professional during treatment and appears to be very knowledgeable about muscle anatomy.
I paid for $ 1000 worth of myofascial release therapy, but saw no results.
I think people like Julie Donnelly who has the Julstro website are more likely to help people by teaching them how to treat themselves.
I have no structural injury to any tissues which would prevent treatment. I just have trigger points.
I suggest you ask to talk to Phill and tell him your problems and ask him if he thinks he can help you first and how many visits he thinks it will take.
If he thinks so then ask what his success rate is and if it is high then tell him that you will pay after he fixes you when the work is complete.
Otherwise you are just paying for nothing and that has been my experience with all physical therapy /​manual medicine practitioners and that is not professional at all. They claim to be good and you pay and get nothing in return. If they were good you would pay after like a car mechanic.

I just had my first personal training session with Tanya Colucci and a Myofacial Release session with Phil Tavolacci and I am feeling euphoric! First, I am extremely thankful to Tanya for helping me improve my alignment and overall workout regimen to best suit my body. We began by using a foam roller to massage the muscles and tendons in areas that were stiff. She clearly explains how to do things, and why it’s important. I found her session to be challenging, but fun! I can’t believe how quickly the one hour went by. By the time I got to Phil’s room for a Myofacial Release treatment, I was ready! His gentle, healing hands helped alleviate my neck and lower back pain, and rid my body of stress. I highly recommend Tavo Total Health for physical therapy, proper fitness training, and overall health and wellness instruction!
