“Nyle is a true healer. Between her technical skill and her intuitive gifts, she offers the best of all worlds. Within three visits with her, I was able to regain feeling in my fingers, and my pain was significantly reduced. Nyle is kind, sensitive, eager to heal you…and she gives 150% of herself! I can’t recommend her highly enough.” – Elizabeth Rees
“I have been receiving monthly myofascial treatments from Kelly Thompson for the past year. Kelly is a wonderful listener and a knowledgeable and caring therapist. She always begins each session by taking time to discuss areas of discomfort or compromised movement. Her knowledge of bone, muscle and fascia integration are apparent through her dialogue and her physical therapy techniques. Kelly’s care continues beyond the scheduled treatment time as she works with individuals to identify and teach specific strategies and stretches that can be performed at home to maintain and improve body movement. Since being treated by Kelly my quality of life has improved with the elimination of pain and an increase in my energy and ability to maintain an active lifestyle. I highly endorse Kelly as a myofascial release therapist.” – Kate
“Meet TAVO’s… locksmith on muscle, nerves & movements. Juliya’s draws and massages are calculated to align the myofascial in the body. She demonstrates pulls on your shoulders/abdomen that even reach to sore ankles & feet. She has reset muscle and calmed/healed damaged nerve swells back into place, working as they should. I am in great debt to Juliya (&Phil) for resetting my damaged brachial main nerves which had left me with no feeling in my hands and feet and low energy. With my nerves and fascia back in working order, I am now in strength training and forever in gratitude to TAVO for getting my life back again!” – William
When I went to see Phil the first time I thought it would be just another physical therapy session. But I did not expect to have the experience I encountered. It felt more than bodywork; it was a voyage inside my pain, my body, and my consciousness through his fingers.” – Marie
“Working with Nyle has been a life changing experience for me. When I first started my myofascial release journey, I was living my life in constant pain. I met Nyle after years of searching for a solution to no avail. Because of Nyle’s expertise, skill and talent I am now living a full and almost pain free life.” – Elena
“Since I have begun working with Kelly, (only three sessions) my mobility and flexibility have greatly increased. I look forward to continuing treatments and continued improvements.” – Client, Chevy Chase
“After a lifetime of skepticism, it just took one session with Juliya to flip me into a believer in the power of MFR therapy. Juliya has a sixth sense in reading root sources of problem areas across my body-mind and her therapy gave me marked relief almost immediately. In addition to being thoroughly expert in applying MFR, Juliya seamlessly integrates other therapy methods into the sessions to best treat my specific issues. She listens carefully to my words and body and is meticulous in monitoring progress and adjusting her approach. Her suggestions for self-help between sessions are very helpful. Juliya has also guided me in the self-healing and helped me to open up to the therapeutic possibilities achievable through my own mindfulness. I inevitably feel invigorated and renewed after a session with Juliya. Weekly sessions with Juliya have become an essential part of my total well being.” – Client, Bethesda
“I was at the end of my rope when I discovered Tavo Total Health. Chronic lower back pain was destroying my quality of life. It had gotten so bad that I had difficulty driving due to the spasms that ran down my legs. The Orthopedic diagnosed the problem as being the result of two bulging discs in my lower back. I had tried everything from traditional physical therapy to acupuncture, cupping, and Chinese massage (which was so painful that after two or three sessions I refused further treatment). All to no avail. I was contemplating an epidural to block the pain when a search of the internet introduced me to myofascial release and Phil Tavolacci. I called and asked whether this type of therapy could really help me and Phil actually called me back. I explained to him my symptoms and he told me how the therapy had helped him. That was enough for me. I made an appointment and with every treatment I gradually began to feel relief from the constant nagging pain I had been experiencing. It took about 4 to 6 weeks to get to the point where I felt “pain free” but from the very beginning of the therapy I knew that I was moving in the right direction. Phil gave me a couple of books to read to gain a better understanding of the science behind myofascial release and it all began to make sense to me. I continue to visit Phil once or twice a month to make sure that I am maintaining proper alignment to keep the pain at bay. Phil is an amazing therapist and provides a calm and safe environment for treatment.” – David
