"After suffering from Sciatica for 2 years, I had one session with Alco. Alco is the reason I don't have a pain in my ass anymore."

-- Yohai, Musician

"For anyone who'd like to deepen their knowledge of reading
the human body, I highly recommend Al's straight forward
hands on class on postural analysis. IT gives you a simple 3D map of how the parts of the body are connected through their spine and their
relationship to each other to support the structural integrity of a functional human being.  Learn the relationships, and how to harmonize them in the most direct way."
 
-- Ishmael Aylwin McIntosh, CMT


"Alco was able to open up the space between my neck and chest so that for several days after, whenever I tried to hunch back into bad posture, my body actually remembered the correct posture! He definitely is in the top three for body workers in the bay area, and someone i recommend for injury and pain treatment, as well as correcting problems caused by bad posture."

-- Leila Swan - model 


"I have tried a variety of body workers and I can say that no one has been quite as effective as Alco Chan. Each time that I have had a condition resulting in body aches, spinal misalignment, stress or injury - Alco has come to the rescue and so far.......has 'cured' me each time. I swear by his work, highly recommended it and encourage anyone who is needing structural body work to seek out Alco for a remedy. Alco is very professional, educated and aware with his work.......You are in good hands, no, GREAT hands!"

-- Kashi Stone, Fashion Designer


Alco's work is just amazing. I have had various people work on my back but only Alco can make it feel like new again. Take my last most recent session, I had not had Al work on my back for over six weeks and I went into the session feeling tense and stressed from life. After a session
with Alco, I feel like I have a new back, I feel like a new person. Even after the sessions you are more conscience of taking care of your back, how you sit, walk, etc.

After looking for so many years and going to so many people Alco is the one, because Alco not only knows what he is doing but he genuinely cares for what he is doing and for people too. I can't recommend Alco
enough!

-- Patrick


Alco is a very passionate and generous therapist. He doesn't just do a good job, he loves what he does and a session with him is very full filling.

-- Salena, CMT


I suffer from severe progressive muscular dystrophy and have visited Healers all over the World. Alco and I worked with for three years. Only a major life transition has forced me to move away, and I am already feeling the differnce. Alco showed results, where others could not. Alco’s healing hands gave me back my strength and my health. Since working with him, my life has changed. For this I am truly indebted.

-- Victor Pineda


Alco is very successful at treating sciatica patients, and is one of the best lowerback/hip specialists I know. I felt well-educated by his Sciatica Workshop, which covered basic anatomy, muscle energy techniques,
stretching, cranial-sacral, and more. Acol is a dedicated practitioner who has a deep understanding of the body on a biomechanical level, and also integrates subtle work to address the energetic components. I
highly recommend Alco as a practitioner as well as a mentor.
