I'm so glad that Amara has joined the Althea Center. She helped me recover from frozen shoulder when cortisone shots and physical therapy didn't work. I'm back for additional treatment because I know acupuncture and cupping work. Amara has such a caring and gentle approach. I know I'm in good hands. read more

Our family has been seeing Dr. Paolo Tresoldi for four years, and we are sincerely grateful for his deep understanding of the human body as an interconnected system and for the meaningful help he consistently provides. We have repeatedly come to him with back pain, neck pain, lower back pain, headaches, and dizziness. In many cases, significant relief came even after a single session. Dr. Paolo is extremely knowledgeable, attentive, and professional, and his treatments have helped us far more than traditional approaches. We also had a very positive experience with Emily Lou. She is thoughtful, gentle, and highly skilled, creating a calm and comfortable environment during treatment, and her treatment is also very effective. I truly trust osteopathy much more after experiencing the results firsthand with these practitioners, and I highly recommend them. read more

Paolo is an exceptional practitioner. He is knowledgeable, caring and generous with his time and compassion. He is a great listener and a kind-hearted person. He has helped me greatly with soft-tissue and muscle issues around hips and back. I highly recommend him. read more

I started seeing Paolo a few years ago before Covid. He has always been kind, attentive, and considerate in his interactions and advice. Both my husband and I have seen him multiple times with very positive results. My husband has had back issues in the past and all have been greatly improved/resolved by Paolo. My most recent visit was pretty urgent, he was most generous and was able to squeeze me in after hours. These days, it is difficult to find a provider who cares, and I'm relieved to have found one in Paulo. Thank you read more

Dr. Tresoldi helped me enormously. He is a true expert in his field and was immediately able to pinpoint the main causes of my pain and provide relief. Over the next few sessions I improved greatly physically and he also helped me to understand my condition and reframe my thinking so that I felt more resilient and in control of my situation. I highly recommend Dr. Tresoldi. read more

He is very good and very knowledgeable. I visited his practice several times and I am impressed.

Paolo is nice and respectful and talks well and tries to give his best service. The main problem though is that this kind spinal manipulation is drastic and can be dangerous. I had a first appointment with this center but not from Paolo. That osteopath did something to my pelvis and every morning I have been waking up with pain since then. It has been more than an year. I booked appointment with Paolo later. He seems to know what he's doing and I had a few sessions with him but it didn't solve neither my original problem nor the problem his earlier osteopath introduced. Paolo did something to my upper mid back which is still painful. Both Paolo and earlier osteopath were friendly and showed good customer service. It is just that you need expert understanding of the human structure to be able to make these kind of drastic manipulations. Otherwise they will backfire like it happened in my case. I wouldn't recommend this kind of therapy and would choose more safer approaches read more

I couldn't recommend Paolo more. I have been visiting Paolo to treat pain in my arm and shoulder and  some other issues. My condition improved and my body is in much better shape thanks to him. I now also bring my 8 year old son who Paolo treats for sleep apnea and jaw pain. They have good contact, Paolo is great with kids! Paolo is an amazing osteopath. He is incredibly professional and knowledgeable, he listens well and uses different approaches. You will have to fill a questionnaire several days before the first visit and be sure that Paolo will go through it. He is also a friendly, warm person with a great sense of humor. For those who are worried about COVID19 I can say that the office takes it seriously. At the front door you will be asked COVID19 screening questions, your temperature will be taken and you will be asked to wash your hands. The office is clean and the staff is friendly. read more

I injured my back while working out at the gym. I was in terrible pain and could barely move. After talking to a doctor at Kaiser, I was told that nothing could be done and rest combined with Ibuprofen was my only option. Following my parents' advice, I looked for an Osteopath and found Paolo. His office in redwood city is close to my work so it was perfect. When I went for my first appointment, I could barely walk or even sit on a chair. After leaving, I was able to walk without pain and I was already feeling so much better. A day later, it was day and night, like the pain was gone. Paolo was simply amazing. I also like the fact that he explains everything. Finally, Paolo is extremely gentle. I highly recommend Paolo and I will definitely go see him again. read more

Paolo is so gentle and professional I came to him for my baby and he make our lives so much better and calm. Naomi had reflux and colic and form the first treatment I could see the difference. Thank you so much for coming to America read more

I am so thrilled that I found Paolo in my search for a professional that actually knows how to deal with TMJ. I've been dealing with TMJ for about 6 years now and it's gotten to the point where I can barely open my mouth without extreme pain. It's really affected a lot of parts of me -- my ability to talk and eat, my sleep, etc. I've seen several different specialists throughout the years that claim to know how to deal with this issue but end up doing more harm than good. Anyway, I was able to find Paolo's yelp page when I got the recommendation to go to an Osteopath. This was really an amazing decision. I've only had two appointments so far, but in that time, I've seen a lot of progress. He spends his time focusing on each part of my face and neck that have the most pain and uses his knowledge about the muscles and nerves to make them feel more relaxed. After my first session with him, I could actually eat with far less pain! The best part is that he is willing to talk about the physiology behind the issues you're dealing with and explains everything that he is about to do. I feel very comfortable. I'm excited to see how each session progresses. My main goal here is to relax my TMJ pain and be able to open wider, which Paolo says is a big possibility with his treatments. Will update further when I can. read more

I've been seeing Paolo for issues with my neck that no one else could help me with. He has been able to figure our what was wrong and I started seeing significant results within a few sessions. He takes a holistic approach to the body and how to treat it. Paolo is very professional but also very approachable and knowledgeable. I highly recommend him!!! read more

I started visiting Paolo for my chronic tailbone pain that started over 4 years ago. After many visits to doctors without any success, I decided to trust an osteopath. Paolo is very professional and listens carefully to my concerns. He also answers all the questions that I have relating to my treatment. The treatment I receive involves some firm and gentle manipulation around the tailbone area. I started to feel improvements especially after firm manipulations. My improvement are finally becoming visible, considering a 4 year chronic pain journey, I am very hopeful to a future improvements. I definitely recommend Paolo to anybody who would like to have a relief from any body aches and pains. He is absolutely a great osteopath and person. read more

Paolo Tresoldi is an excellent practitioner who knows and understands how the human body works as an entirety. He is also a respectful and kind man. He listens as well as checks in during the appointment to make sure his patient is comfortable, and as a teacher, is always able to explain what he is doing manually and why. I highly recommend him! read more

Paolo is a wonderful Osteopath. I find his treatment gentle yet very effective. He took an interest in my areas of pain and was able to provide insightful feedback along with relief. The one thing I really appreciate about Paolo is that he either asks or very clearly specifies how is going to treat a specific region on the body before he begins. This brings an added level of comfort knowing that he cares about my feelings towards any body work or adjustments. He is also kind and personable and I highly recommend him for anyone seeking Osteopathic treatment. read more

Dr. Tresoldi is the best! I went to see him for neck and shoulder pain as well as some digestive issues. After one visit, I was already feeling so much better. After 3 visits, the neck and shoulder pain is now non-existent. He is professional, gentle, and kind and works his magic in the most lovely of ways. I can not say enough about how great his service is and I look forward to each visit. read more

Fixed my shoulder pain in a few sessions after I've been trying for months with no luck. Paolo is extremely professional and has a fantastic, positive attitude. If you feel like you have some mysterious pain I highly recommend visiting him. read more

I was visiting Paolo for my back pain treatment along with a lot of thing going on in my body. I desperately needed treatment and adjustment. Traditional medicine didn't work at all. I was searching for a chiropractor or osteopath for a long time. I found out that Paolo is performs European Style osteopathy and I decided to try as previously I had improvements from this kind of treatment. It was easy to make an appointment through online booking. Paolo met us and patiently discussed my health conditions. He is very attentive, professional, patient, kind and willing to help. During treatment he always asks about my feelings or concerns. He tries to find the right amount of pressure right for you taking in consideration your level of pain. He will always explain all treatment and answer a bunch of my questions. I felt so much better after treatment. I slept through the night and waked up with a clear mind and a lot of energy. We visited Paolo for our baby treatment as well. He performs all precautions during Covid pandemic. Paolo is not only highly professional osteopath but a nice person too. read more

I have had the privilege of working with Paolo for about two years. He is the reason I have not had hip replacement surgery I am certain. I am 72, a white female with arthritis and have lived long enough to have reached the point where all quadrants of my body need untwisting and sorting. That's my experience of what Paolo does. I basically sat on the floor helping my son with twin 3month old babies from January through March of this year. Never could get away see a Paolo. By March we were in shutdown and I kept exercising in isolation and walking the dog, making my poor lower back and hip even worse. Couldn't get out of pain no matter what. Began again with Paolo (outdoors and he comes to me because I live nearby) 6 weeks ago and my back and hips are 95% pain free . (I'll always be abit stiff mornings first thing and by bedtime! ) He is a miracle worker. So gentle and competent. I am hugely hugely indebted to him for such incomparable incredible life-changing care. read more

Paolo is absolutely amazing. I had a car accident and my back and neck hurt a lot. He helped me super fast. He's very professional and considerate. I would definitely recommend him. read more

Paolo has been incredibly good for my back pain; when I first met him I could not even SIT on his bed. Then he was so kind to explain me that I had to fix the pain first in a different way (which I did with a series of pain killers and a couple of epidural cortisone injections), and then go back and see him again. I did all that, and after the chemical treatment I could barely start laying down on my (and his) bed. Then, in a couple of months he helped me find my old posture, my original walking and standing ability, and, most of all, I have been painless! Now I can't believe this happened, but I can walk, I can sit down, I can SLEEP IN MY BED! Amazing! Thank you, Paolo, you are really the best. TWO THUMBS UP, MAN!!!!! read more

I have had chronic back pain for many years and mainly consulted chiropractors, however, after a very acute disc issue, I decided to try Paolo. I am so pleased that I did because as both an Osteopath and academic in his home country Italy, he was able to restore and improve on my back/neck pain. His approach is very holistic (including soft tissue and fascia treatment as well as manipulation). His manner is gentle, professional, and empathic. I have no hesitation in recommending Paolo to any patient. My family will also be coming in the future. read more

I have had pain and discomfort in my neck, shoulders and lower back for over a year and I've been to physicians, physical therapists as will as trying pilates and yoga hoping to alleviate the pain. Finally I researched Osteopathy and found Paolo Tresoldi. Since seeing Paulo regularly for the last 2 months, my neck and back is improving with every treatment. read more

Paolo is excellent in his field. He has the knowledge, technical and manual ability to resolve those incredibly painful lower back strains that happen from time to time. Serious improvement after a couple of sessions. Highly recommendable. read more

I had an appointment with Paolo for my one month daughter. And it was wonderful! He was very kind to me and my baby! I'm very thankful for this treatment and we'll come back with the whole family soon! read more

After a challenging year following a sports injury, I decided to follow a European friend's advice to see a osteopathic practitioner. I found Paolo through a Yelp search and was drawn to the positive results other patients had experienced. After my first consultation and session I knew I had made the right choice. My posture and flexibility improved tremendously. And after each subsequent session my lower back and neck flexibility continue to improve. If you are looking for a different way to approach your overall back and neck health, Paolo really is top notch! read more

I was very impressed with his knowledge and work. He was most professional. Part of my issue is due to a 40 year old injury which he was unable to do anything for, but was able to address my in injury. He told me if I needed to return. Did not increase any visits. I left feeling very good. I highly recommend him. read more

I had constant pain for years. Massage, Chiropractor, Doctors, cortisone shot, Physical Therapy, Cryotherapy .... Nothing worked. Paolo is magic!! I wish I would have found him years ago! Don't go anywhere else!! read more

I am an Ironman triathlete. I injured my shoulder while playing in big waves in Hawaii and I had medium plantar fasciitis for a year. I was able to manage my plantar fasciitis last year and I hoped it would vanish during the off-season. It did not. As I was also injured on the shoulder. I went to a PT but did not see much progress. I then decided to consult with Paolo. After the 1st session, I felt a change but could not restart swimming. By doing the daily exercises he recommended, twice a day, and with two more sessions, I could restart swimming and now 2 months later, I swim 3 times a week, 3k to 4k yards per swim session without any pain. Regarding the plantar fasciitis, Paolo did not spend much time on it during the session but gave me a progression of stretching exercises to do that did it. I really liked his approach during the sessions and the follow up in between with a series of exercises that I am now incorporating in my routine. read more

I went to see Paolo after my back went out unexpectedly. His examination and subsequent treatment was thorough and very effective. After just a couple visits my back was better than ever. Paolo is a thoughtful and compassionate practitioner. He patiently explained his findings and treatment, and continually checked in with me on how I was feeling, assuring my comfort. I found a clinical professional I like and trust in Paolo, and would recommend his services to friends and family. read more

Paolo obviously knows his profession extremely well. He is a good listener and makes sure his treatment is safe and effective. I have some long term pain, and the treatment is helping me resolve the issues and get back to my work outs! read more

Extremely professional, and highly capable. Great sensitivity to my particular needs (related to neck pain), and there was almost immediate improvement. Made me feel safe and comfortable with the treatment. I've had neck pain for many years and have not experienced such rapid improvement from a flare up as I have being treated by Paolo. Took the needed time to understand my health history and various conditions/injuries. Highly recommended! read more
