About Us

Engineers ought marvel at the design of our human body.  Every cell in our body is a mini factory with full communication going on to carry out all its necessary processes.  The bones which comprise our skeletons are loosely held in place by ligaments and tendons.  Our bones move freely in to and, well, fortunately not so freely out of alignment when strong muscles pull on them.  When there is an imbalance in the relationship between two or more muscles, that's when pain occurs and I am contacted.  My name is Gary DeFilippo and I will consider it to be my privilege to be your chosen Orthopedic Massage, Medical Massage, Sport Massage and Rehabilitative Massage Therapy provider.

My experience at Laying on of Hands with Gary the owner and orthopedic massage therapist, was A+ . I would highly recommend this service as Gary is very gifted, educated and knowledgeable. He is a great Therapist and teacher with excellent assessment skills. Gary's personality and humor put me at ease from the outset of my appointment. My goal in going for an orthopedic massage, is to come out, feeling less pain, (or no pain), in various parts of my body, and to move with ease. After my first appointment, I walked to the parking lot with a smile on my face, at how "loose" I felt in my walking. My low back pain was gone, and I was walking free without guarding my body for fear of pain. I have many issues and I am confident Gary will be able to rebalance more muscles, so I can be more active than usual, and keep up with my grandchildren. I look forward to my next 2 visits and further healing, and I just want to say; whether you are young or old, a couch potato, or a serious athlete, or even a professional athlete, you owe yourself a visit to Gary De Fillipo, to get you out of pain, without causing more pain in the process. Thank you Gary!

Business response:

Thank you, Kathy, for coming in and for your wonderful five-star review. Thank you for mentioning that balanced muscles are essential to physical comfort. The body is like a suspension bridge. When the muscles are the same strength and length right to left side and front to back, the body feel ageless and moves freely. This can be done at any time for people of any age.

Business response:

Thank you, Todd for coming in before and after your races over the years, and thank you for your five-star review. An Orthopedic Massage is a pre- and post-event, as well as a medical treatment massage. How my treatments are different from other medical massages is my clients receive what they pay for. An hour massage means a 60 minute hour, and often a little more. I do that because the body needs to be relaxed, so they can sleep at night, in order to heal, to recover.

Gary's orthopedic massage is like none other! I left his office feeling taller and looser than I have since I was a kid! I actually felt my lungs could expand more. He helped areas that I never realized massage could deal with like hammer toes and flat feet! He also made suggestions for daily stretching that I am finding very helpful! I stopped getting massages a few years ago. I tried several places and even had a monthly contract with one establishment. While I could feel my muscles release after some manipulation, I felt no different by the next day and decided to stop wasting money! I am a retired RN and a former x-ray technologist. I know the parts of the skeleton and how muscles work. Gary's techniques promote stretching and healing and the atmosphere he creates with lighting and music and humor made this massage an experience of great value for me and one I will repeat regularly.

As a long-time overhand throwing athlete who has had shoulder surgery and undergone countless sessions of physical therapy, I opted to try massage at the recommendation of a friend. I originally scheduled a Swedish massage but opted to upgrade to an orthopedic after speaking with Gary. His pre-massage survey allowed him extra information about my ailments and create a plan of attack. After thoroughly explaining that plan he went to know explaining things along the way. He was very professional, had a great sense of humor and really personalized the experience. I was a little sore the following day which was to be expected but ultimately my shoulder felt better. Would recommend.

Gary is a highly skilled professional who takes the time to get to know you and your unique needs. His commitment to helping you is unparalleled. I saw Gary twice after years of pain stemming from poor posture. My pain is gone and my posture has drastically improved. Gary is incredibly evidence-based and uses his knowledge of our muscles to create solutions. The ambiance is amazing. So much thought and care went into creating such a zen environment. I found Gary through Groupon but remember, they rip off small business every day so you can save $20. Go for the gold!!

Business response:

Thank you, Kennedy for the 5-star review! It has been really great helping you out of your pain and restoring your posture. When Kennedy came in, she opted for the Orthopedic Massage upgrade in order to return her body to Anatomical Position (for optimal comfort). To those reading this, before you use a Groupon with any vendor, contact them ahead of time to find out if the Groupon that they advertise is in your best interest, ie The Orthopedic Upgrade + Groupon is more than buying from me.

Hi pressure sales from the go. Constantly complaining a bout what Groupon pays and mentioned tip too frequently. He also tried to get me to upgrade my service. Excessive text’s and emails. I think he thinks he’s a doctor and he’s not, request ing entirely too much medical and personal information for massage. He ruined the experience. He was breathing so heavy and hard I look up to see what was going on as the massage was not that intense. He also talked entirely too much at the end about another appointment it was just creepy. I would never go back. My friend purchased at same time and we compared notes and the exact same experience. Weirded out

Business response:

OUCH! Sorry that you didn't enjoy the experience. Intake form is required by NY state. I HAVE effectively treated MOST bodily pains, tingling and numbness, so when I see it on an intake form, I let the person know. I wear a mask to protect my clients and myself. Full disclosure, a residual effect for me having Covid (2019) is a limited lung capacity for me, so breathing may have been heavy.

I went to Gary specifically for frozen shoulder and long term neck pain. I wanted to wait till I had gone to a handful of sessions to give an honest review. I had terrible frozen shoulder even with the Cortizone shot. He worked my arm and after about 5 sessions I am now with more mobility and movement in my arm. I am now to the point to begin strength training to build my arm back up. I would say Gary did a great job with getting that mobility back and would not hesitate to see him if I felt my arm tightening. As my neck problems have existed for 15 + years I do think Gary has helped with the mobility and wants success as much as I do. I will continue with Gary because as he had helped me so much with my arm I am confident he can really do more for my neck. He cares about your healing as much as you do!

Business response:

Thank you Jade for that in-depth review. I appreciate the opportunity to treat you. Frozen Shoulder and Adhesive Capsulitis are conditions that are easily treated regardless of how long it had been. Under most circumstances the person will leave their very first session noticing a moderate to a significant improvement right off the table. Then it is a matter of "rinse-lather-repeat" until the arm is moving freely in a few sessions without surgery

The best therapeutic message that addressed my specific issues. Gary's knowledge and experience was greatly appreciated

Business response:

Thank you for your review. Since you received the Orthopedic Deep Tissue Massage, I'll assume that you came in with a chromic pain problem, possibly a common work relatedRepetitive Stress Injury. Most clients come in with upper back, shoulder, and neck pain. Some even have tingling and numbness radiating into their hands such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, both easily treated with Orthopedic Massage.

Business response:

Thank you for your five star review. While I am a wealth of useless trivia, I do like to take the first five minutes talking to my clients about the most important person in the room, me, and how great I am at this. Of course I am joking. It's all about you and your aches and pains, mostly it's about you deep down, your deepest layer of muscle tissue and how I am going to reach those skeletal muscles without putting you in pain, unlike traditional Deep Tissue Massages.

Gary was very attentive to my specific needs. He checked in with me throughout the massage to make sure I was comfortable. After the massage I was very relaxed and that night I slept like a baby for the first time in years!

Business response:

Thank you Christy. One of the comments that I love to hear is how I effected someones sleep. During REM sleep (as you now know) our Anterior Pituitary Gland secretes growth hormone. As adults we are done growing but Neve done repairing damaged cells. Which is why people with Fibromyalgia never heal well.

Gary is a very good listener and addresses my problem areas. I don't need see my chiropractor after Gary's massage. He is just amazing!

Gary is very kind and attentive to his clients as well as being a terrific massage therapist. I've already recommended him to my friends. Wouldn't go anywhere else.
