Marcia Tassinari is a true professional, engaging the class in exercises the utility of which is based on scientific research.  She explains the function of each exercise, how the movement affects the spine and the various other body structures, and makes clear how the exercise relates to our daily activities.  She is a caring, supportive and knowledgeable instructor, and I feel fortunate to have been in her class!

Marcia’s knowledge and expertise is a valuable asset to the YMCA community.  Her weekly class is safe and easy to follow.  We feel fortunate to have Marcia’s expertise during the weekly STRAIGHTEN UP! posture class.  More than that, she cares about her students and the progress they make under her guidance.  Y members and guests welcome this class, as demonstrated by the consistently high attendance each week.

What the community is saying about the Power Up Your Posture Classes...

I have been attending exercise sessions with Marcia Tassinari for a few months.  Last year I was incapacitated from a spinal compression fracture.  As I recovered I found that through her classes and tips for good posture, exercise, etc.  Invaluable and I am convinced that a great deal of credit is due to her help.

Excellent!  Unlike any other classes—in this one I feel 100% certain that the exercises I am doing in class are therapeutic and safe because the instructor is a physical therapist and a back expert!  Thank you Marcia!

- Wendy A., M.S.R.N., N.P.

Since starting the class 3 years ago, I have improved my posture, am taller by ¾ “from my doctor visits, do not have anywhere near the back problems and my density scans are going into the positive direction instead of negative!  Thank you Marcia!

Marcia is an excellent teacher, patient and clear.  Her passion for her practice makes me want to work harder to get my posture as straight as hers.  She is a wonderful example of good posture and health.

I started coming in for osteoporosis, but found it helped my neuropathy and balance so much, to the point of being able to stand on one foot for the first time in over 10 years.  My back pain is gone and now I have posture better than before.

- Pam B.

 

Marcia is for us – knowledgeable and enthusiastic – and it shows that she really cares about our improvement.  Thanks La Jolla YMCA for this gift!

What people are saying about The Posture Revolution Program...

I have worked with many P.T.s over many years—I have never experienced the quality and understanding of body mechanics and how to address problems that I received from Marcia.                             

- Anne W.

I’m walking straighter; posture is so much better; my balance is better.  I’m back to my height of 5’4 1/2”  Had shrunk to 5’3”.  My whole body seems more aligned and stronger.  Thank you!                      

- Lee H.

     I knew I had osteoporosis.  But, I didn’t know why I felt physical discomfort—afterall, I was always in pretty good physical shape, so I thought attending some gym classes to improve my strength, stability, and, so on.  But, my physical discomfort did not improve.  I had too much daily discomfort—just doing daily “chores” around the house became a chore for me to accomplish. So, I began to sit more, to rest my body, then complete the day’s routine as best as  possible.

     I have just completed my physical therapy with Marcia.  I am so much better.  I can do all my daily tasks again and without pain.  Marcia has taught me how to strengthen my body, without hurting myself.  I am very pleased.  I think I was on the verge of being a bit depressed over my poor condition.  The movements that Marcia Tassinari taught me are painless and simple.  I plan to continue them to keep me pain free.  And they are so easy to do, especially after being taught how to do what works best for me.  Thanks Marcia!

I am a really satisfied client with a success story.  I came for therapy for osteoporosis training and exercises.  My height increased by 1/4” in 5 weeks of therapy and my posture improved considerably.  I really appreciate Marcia’s hands on treatment, her knowledge and research, and the printed material she provided me.  I am doing new exercises at home daily and my exercises at the gym are now done with corrected form.  I also learned what to do and not do at Yoga classes.  In all, a great experience.

- Linda D.

The reason that I came for therapy was because my osteoporosis was progressing in that my back was becoming bent.  I wanted to stop this from becoming worse.  I had also lost about 3 1/2  inches in height.  After 2 months my posture had improved and I had gained some height.  Coming here gave me the incentive to do regular exercises on my own at home and gave me hope to stop and perhaps reverse the negative processes in my body.

     My mom hadn’t seen me for two years...and she said WOW!!  You look GREAT!!  You’re standing up so straight...We have the same body, and for the first time I realized how hunched over and sort of collapsed through the chest she is.  (She’s 83.)  Three weeks later, she fractured her vertebra.

     For the first time in years, I wear clothes with my blouse tucked in.  And at meetings with developers and city staffers, they seem more respectful.

     THANK YOU for this program.  I especially appreciate the physiological and anatomical explanations of why a particular effort is important.
