Testimonials

“An avid and keen scholar of human postural dynamics, Mr. Tonetti is on a mission to eliminate the scourge of needless pain and suffering initiated by poor body mechanics. His perceptive melding of diverse investigations in ergonomics and kinesiology has produced a dynamic, unified approach for layperson and professional alike. Mr. Tonetti’s method teaches achievable body postures and movements that transform strenuous efforts into balanced and effortless body usage. I am thankful that instead of defaulting to drugs, surgery or acceptance of physical limitation, Michael Tonetti’s passionate pursuit of a natural holistic solution ushers in a new era of self-care and rehabilitation.”

“I have watched over many years as Michael has refined his system of teaching body mechanics. He is able to make complex concepts understandable and usable for all. I can honestly say this stuff works and Michael is a wizard.”

“As Wellness Director for one of the largest manufacturers north of the Bay Area in California, I contracted Michael Tonetti to develop and implement a safe lifting program for our employees. I am convinced that many a back was saved as workers learned to use proper body mechanics through Michael’s innovative techniques. His methods, based on a profound understanding of human movement, deserve attention from anyone interested in improving well-being and preventing injury. If movement is life, then moving well means living well. This is what Michael’s work is all about!”

“Fifteen years ago I had bunions and flat feet. My feet hurt all the time. You gave me those exercises. They were wonderful. Over the years I kind of slacked off. On a trip in March we started walking and my feet killed me. When we got home I started doing your exercises every day. We are now hiking long distances nearly every day. My feet are absolutely fabulous. Your exercises, Michael, are really miraculous. I think a lot of people probably have surgery for the same problems that I have, that I’m taking care of with the Tonetti exercises.”

“At the ‘88 Olympic Games in Seoul, Korea, in the Team time trial (bicycling) we were so into aerodynamic positions for our two-hour event, that neck form and position was critical to our performance. Thanks for your great body mechanics coaching and advice. I frequently shared your advice over the years with my teammates and friends who wanted to improve their performance on the bike.”

“Michael’s understanding of the body and the way in which it is meant to move in our modern world is enlightening. His teaching of how one’s posture and ways of moving affect strength and endurance is a reminder that we should flow with nature and not against it.”
