Structural Integration By Don

I have never experienced such great relief before and I’m a very particular therapist. Don definitely knows his stuff and has that touch. He can feel it and knows all the great locations. Feels great!

Don is truly one of a kind, a true Hollywood ‘miracle worker’ (and yes, he hates being called that). I literally come in from Zurich Switzerland to have him work on my shoulder — because after he does, I’m realigned and pain free for the next year or even two. He ‘gets in there’ and shows all the joints, muscles and nerves their optimal working place. He seems to get built-​up gunk and glue out of there, I’m usually pretty dizzy for a bit right afterwards and he’s lovely about distracting you when it get a bit painful… But man, when you get up and walk your first steps in your shiny new body, inches taller and pounds lighter… you have that new car smell on yourself!

This guy knows what he’s doing! I went to him for a hamstring strain, weeks before a marathon I’ve been training for a year for. I felt better within a few days of my first visit!!! Thank you Don for everything you do! I would highly recommend him to anyone I know:)

I have been seeing Don for over a year for my back, and he always finds the right areas and remedies. He customizes the experience, and the technique is like magic and a bit spiritual. I highly recommend the experience!

Don is EVERYTHING!!! If I could I would see him a few times a week (traveled across the country to see him!). The work he does is mind blowing. Changes how you feel physically immediately… And because of that changes how you feel mentally!!! I have only been to a few sessions in the past few weeks and relieved pain in minutes that I have been having for months. No one could help me. Chiropractor, Doctor, etc etc. GO! If not to fix/​help heal an injury, than for pure enjoyment. Better than any massage in the world! Love you Don. Love what you do. Wouldn’t know what to do without you!

I just left my appointment with Don and I feel aligned, rejuvenated and relieved from my back pain! I have scoliosis, which causes constant pain and I rarely ever feel a sense of relief after chiropractor appointments, where I used to get stem treatments and adjustments.
After seeing Don, I feel amazing. I highly recommend going to see him!

Today was my first session and I already feel a world of difference. I’m already looking for ways to clear my schedule to get in again. I’ve massively abused my body (running on asphalt/​concrete for years, hours working slouched over a desk, too much time in a car stuck in traffic, etc.)…there’s hope that I’ll finally regain more ‘normal’ use of my thrashed knees and lower back

I continue to go to don! He is LITERALLY amazing! i have terrible shin splints because i work out a lot and train very hard. Every time i walk in he fixes the issue with in 20 min. I sent multiple friends to him as well because i feel comfortable with his work and know that he helps people. I made a GREAT decision going to Don because i live my life pain free and am able to work out 6 – 8 times a week with no problems.

Don changed my life.
I have had posture problems for over 20 years. I tried everything, personal trainer, physical therapy, yoga etc. Nothing worked.
I started seeing Don in combination with posture exercises and the results were absolutely incredible.
He doesn’t try to sell you things, or make you book a bunch of sessions. Taking your money is not his priority, he is genuinely interested in helping people
I encourage anyone who has chronic pain, posture problems etc to give him a try before spending thousands of dollars on physical therapy or even worse surgery.

I’m a very active person — workout hard multiple times a week; yoga, hiking, skiing, etc and as a result, I have a wide variety of nagging sports-​related injuries. I initially saw Don for weight lifter’s shoulder (distal clavicular osteolysis), a painful deterioration of the distal end of the clavicle caused by overuse. I’m not someone who eschews western medicine, but in the case of my shoulder, it simply wasn’t working. I had tried taking time off from working out, multiple cortisone injections, physical therapy, and acupuncture, and was told I’d likely need surgery to correct the problem. Don Ferreira was my last chance and hope and honestly, I wasn’t optimistic but after a few sessions with him, the pain began to subside! Don’s unique approach combines an in depth understanding of anatomy and physiology, an intuition for fascia manipulation and compassion for the entire body as one unit. Don not only treated my shoulder area, but in the same sessions, helped me with a knee issue, caused by a tear in my medial meniscus. Despite numerous injuries, and in just a few sessions, I’m able to engage pain-​free in most of my previous activities. Don has played a huge part in making that possible and I HIGHLY recommend him.

I have been dealing with an extremely aggressive case of plantar fasciitis for over a year now, and I’ve been unable to run for 7 months. I’ve seen other doctors, physical therapists, and medical professionals without any progress. For awhile, the pain was mild, then moderate, and finally, crippling. It completely consumed my life. Nevermind running or hiking — I almost couldn’t walk. Literally every move of every day was painful. I’ve seen Don several times over the last 3 weeks, and I am starting to run again. I’d reached my breaking point; I was depressed and angry. But now, I can see myself crossing the finish line again in the near future, and I owe it to Don and his ability to heal.
He is a dear man — kind, compassionate, and accommodating. He’s giving me my life back, and I could not be more grateful.

AMAZING — for mind, body, and spirit.

very spiritual
intelligent

and does an amazing job
i go to him every 2 weeks to maintain great health
i highly recommend him to anyone and everyone that is in need of healing (which is most of you!)
;)
thank you donnie!!!

I’m not surprised Don has only 5 star reviews. He is fantastic. I was referred to him by a few people at Barry’s Bootcamp as I was having knee problems. I’m very active and don’t have time for things like this to get in the way! I was hesitant to see a doctor as well as even when I called to make an appointment they said I had to do x-​rays first to see the doctor (before he even spoke to me). I booked my first appt. w/​Don about a month and a half ago and honestly, even after the first session my knee pain was not only so much better but practically gone. I was running 3 days later. Now we are addressing other areas of pain on my body– seeing him has honestly changed my life. I feel like all my areas of stress and tension are slowly being released and I can only imagine how I will feel after a few months. If you have any type of injury or even just headaches, jaw pain, shoulder, neck pain, anything, see Don– he is AMAZING. I cannot say enough good things. He has a calm, centered presence too and so very knowledgeable about the body. I’m almost afraid to write this as I don’t want him to get more booked than he is!

I started seeing Don a couple of years ago after a car accident. After my first session, I was feeling relief and noticeably taller. I have kept going to Don for tune-​ups on all my aches and pains: tendonitis from a desk job, weird knee issues from working out, tight jaw from stress, etc. Don does body work that STICKS. He’s a total sweetheart to boot – calm, positive energy and always so professional.

After an unfortunate sporting injury I had been suffering with lower back pain for many years and tried anything and everything to reduce the ever-​growing discomfort.
From massage to acupuncture, pills to epidurals, even platelet rich plasma (prp), you name it and I’ve pretty done it. After very little success I was seriously considering surgery before a good friend suggested I visit Don. Thank god i did as I’m now a changed man!
Don has worked wonders on my back and overall posture while dramatically reducing my pain and enabling me to completely avoid surgery.
Dons no frills approach is incredibly refreshing and I couldn’t recommend him enough!

Don’s loving and compassionate energy is one of many reasons he’s such an amazing therapist, he obviously has a great passion for healing.
I’ve been seeing Don for my aches and pains for four years. His dynamic techniques help my body release those hard to reach problem areas. I always leave relaxed and in a much better place mentally and physically than when I came in. He is highly knowledgeable, professional, personable and dedicated to healing. The quality of his work is priceless.

I love Don! I’m a professional dancer/​actor and personal trainer. Pilates and Gyrotonic to be exact a well as other modalities. I have a bit of scoliosis and a hyper mobility in my lower back which has been giving me a bit grief.
Don has been amazing in opening up tissue that has long been stuck in order to make my body more available to me and enhancing my Physical Therapy. When I dont’ work with him I feel it. He helps my alignment tremendously and has a great eye for know what’s up pretty immediately.
I referred a producer friend who had had a car accident 10 years ago and since then nothing had really worked. He loved Don and booked several session with him. He told me he had been doing exercises that he hadn’t done in a long time after seeing Don.
Don knows the body pretty well and know energy. I highly recommend him and have been referring him all my clients.

In one word: AMAZING! Don is incredible. He understands the body’s structure so well and knows how to tailor his approach to you. Without Don, I would not be pain free and able to do all the working out I do. I came to Don because I hurt my back and slipped a disc. The ortho wanted to cut me. Don stepped in and I didn’t need surgery. Now I go to Don every week! He is an amazing person and truly cares about his patients. I am worried about giving him a glowing review cause then he will be so busy! But the best!

My experience with Don Ferreira-​McCusker has been one of healing and restoration. His knowledge and understanding of the human body has brought me back to a place of health and wholeness. I am truly grateful and cannot sing his praises enough!
I sought out Don, at the advice of a neighbor, after being in a horrific traffic accident. Both cars were totaled and I had been hit two times. The second impact jarred me into the steering wheel, fracturing my maxilla and knocking out a few teeth!.. Immediately after, I focused my attention on addressing the visible (and insanely painful) dental damage. Vain and naïve, I know. I actually thought I was fine otherwise. Within about 10 days, I started having shoulder, neck and back issues that were debilitating. I was experiencing mind altering headaches and having difficulty raising my left arm. I could barely carry a purse, let alone a grocery bag. That’s when I booked my first appointment.
I was hesitant to believe the hype and praise my neighbor bestowed upon Don and his methods. My disbelief was turned to complete fanatic after 5 minutes into my first session. I experienced relief and progress after that first appointment and went on to see Don 2 – 3 times a week for a few months.
I am now healthy, strong and carrying my own groceries! I continue to see Don for the typical stress-​inducing knots we all get from life, yet am back to functioning as I did before the accident!
If you have doubts, just book one appointment. I guarantee it will be a worthwhile investment towards a healthier, pain-​free you!

Incredible — first Rolfer I have managed to find with so much knowledge and understanding of the human body and muscles and of course facia.
Never felt better — I don’t even need to tell him what’s wrong with my body — he has this way of reading the body and just fixing it — I felt amazing after the first time and even though now I am fully healthy and well I go in for regular visits to tune up and keeping my body feeling this way.
I workout hard and this is my treat to myself in keeping me feeling great!
