Five years ago, I walked into Dr. Schuyler Du Bourdieu's office hoping to feel physically better. I had no idea I was beginning one of the most profound journeys of my life. At the time, my body was exhausted. Years of old injuries had left me in constant pain, my joints seemed to grind with every movement, and restful sleep had become almost impossible. I believed I simply had to accept that this was what getting older looked like. What I discovered was that true healing goes far beyond the physical body. Through Dr. Du Bourdieu's care, I began uncovering emotional and spiritual wounds that had been buried for years. I learned that many of the things weighing me down were not just physical--they were old hurts, fears, and experiences I had never truly released. It felt as though my spirit had been carrying a heavy chain that kept it from becoming who I was meant to be. Week by week, that began to change. Today, I have more energy, greater clarity, and a renewed sense of purpose. I sleep better, move better, and live with far less pain. More importantly, I have become the person I always hoped I could be. During these past five years, I have built a thriving business, become a successful real estate professional, co-founded a senior downsizing company, and fulfilled a lifelong dream of becoming a published author. Five years ago, I could never have imagined the life I am living today. I continue to see Dr. Du Bourdieu every week because this journey has never been about fixing a problem--it has been about continually becoming healthier, stronger, and more fully alive. I am proud to be a lifetime member because I believe investing in my health is the greatest investment I can make. If you are willing to trust the process and do the work, you may discover, as I did, that healing is about far more than eliminating pain. It is about reclaiming your life and stepping into chapters you never thought were possible. Thank you, Dr. Du Bourdieu, for helping me discover that my best years were not behind me--they were waiting for me. Deborah Samuel Santa Barbara, CA read more

Dr. Schuyler is so caring and the treatment is very gentle. It didn't resolve immediately, but I no longer have pain from foramen stenosis or gluteal tendonitis. I go for maintenance a couple of times a month or whenever I feel the need and have been pain free for 4 years. read more

Love Dr. Schuyler and Dr. Giovanna. Amazing at the work that they do which is life altering/changing for the better to anyone who puts in the work and truly shows up. I wish them both continued success. My fiancé and I will forever be grateful. read more

Doctors Schuyler and Giovanna are amazing practitioners. I've always been highly skeptical of chiropractic medicine, and particularly when paired with holistic and energy healing. However, I'm here to tell you they are the real deal. I was so skeptical in the beginning that I almost stopped going. What kept me on track is that both of my daughters went to him and experienced amazing results. They both have very bad backs. I stuck it out and I am so glad I did. Slowly, you begin to realize that you're not hurting anymore and you're able to move and able to breathe and life all of a sudden feels so much better! I promise you, if you give yourself the chance, you will thank yourself for years to come, and you'll give epic thanks to the doctors for the amazing results they bring about. read more

This is a very nice office. However the "counseling" that he offers is claustrophobic, (you will not get a word in edgewise once he starts) and it is not reality based. It's unprofessional, and feels like a cult read more

I have been able to feel pain free after 10 years and this has allowed me to contribute towards life and family more blissfully. Abhinav Gokllani read more

Best chiropractor in California! He was able to fix my back and the Kangen water he gave me for free helped me lose 20 pounds in the first month. read more

I stupidly signed up for their Groupon deal only to find out that it was only for a two visit exam. Would not touch my actual problem that I was intending services for. Sent me out for more expensive X-rays before telling me everything wrong with me since I was a kid and wanting to charge me more and more and more. Really disappointed. read more

Dr. Schuyler is a great guy and chiropractor but STEER CLEAR if you come to him with complex PTSD/Childhood trauma. I invested TWO YEARS with him in the hopes of "HEALING" my past BUT, it doesn't quite work like that...what I found was that his body work more than anything ACTIVATED dormant parts of me and I was alone in trying to face them. I was working with a therapist at the time but she wasn't very good at navigating through traumatic experiences either. I was in complete dysregulation and nobody knew how to help me. Thankfully I have found the help NOW that I've always needed. I once mentioned to him, that after having a session with him, that evening I felt like calling the Suicide Prevention Hotline. He told me that I should have , and in the future I should do so if I felt things were heading to a bad place. I also mentioned to him the book by Bessel Van Der Kolk, "The Body Keeps the Score" as a good read for him considering he is a body worker, I was disappointed in his response- he gave me some flippant remark :/ I felt ALONE in trying to NAVIGATE a lot of the stuff being activated as a result of doing this work. If you do choose to do this kind of work, please do yourself a favor and make sure you have the proper SUPPORT systems in place for yourself. He will UNLIKELY be able to help you navigate COMPLEX TRAUMA. read more

A BIG YES. Without a doubt the best network chiropractic I have ever had. Everywhere I travel I seek out this care, from New York City, to Florida, to California and Europe. I am making so much progress in just a few days. He is intuitive and completely in tune with the energy field. read more

I'm a chiropractor and I travel 2hrs each direction every week to receive care here. Thank you both for your energy, love, and expertise.

Everyone at Rilascio is empathic, kind-hearted and dedicated. I highly recommend their care

When I began working with Dr. Schuyler last December, I was being treated for prostate cancer, and my body was a wreck from years of trauma. Dr. Schuyler was a tremendous support during my cancer journey through radiation, and I am now in remission. Overall, my body and soul have healed profoundly in his care, and I will continue working with him for a good while. I am incredibly grateful to have found Dr. Schuyler at this time in my life - I feel reborn. read more

The care I have received from Dr. Schuyler and the team is utterly life changing. I have been under Dr. Schuyler's care for just over 18 months and my life has completely changed -- in mind, body and spirit. I started seeing Dr. Schuyler for 20ish years of chronic, progressive and debilitating pain and had no idea the transformation I would undergo. Network Care is so much more than chiropractics. It aligns your entire central nervous system, the computer to your body, enabling every part of you to work better. Not only am I no longer in chronic pain, but my spine has literally realigned (no more hump on the back of my neck!) and I have become "unstuck" in many areas of my life in profound ways. I absolutely love my life now and cannot thank Rilascio Chiropractic enough!!! read more

I was so physically impaired I didn't know whether I would be able to work again, let alone enjoy my lifelong passion of backpacking the Sierras. From various injuries I had chronic pain and inflexibility in my lower back, hip, leg, shoulders and chronic fatigue. However, the transformation under Dr Schuyler's care has been miraculous. I'm pain free and have more physical and metal energy than I've experienced in years. I have a very physical job, and unlike my younger colleagues, I am not harboring any injuries or battling pain. Initially Dr Schuyler's techniques were unconventional to me, but he is truly a master of this profession (using Network Spinal Analysis technique). This was not just about getting my back 'aligned', it has been a complete wellness (physical and emotional) experience. Thank you Dr Schuyler! read more

Dr Schuyler is truly a miracle worker. My body was going down when I began treatment and now a few months later, I have my vitality, inspiration and clarity back. Not to mention I no longer have back pain every day. I've had many chiropractors in my life with some good results. Dr. Schuyler is truly a cut above all else. His brilliant approach and consistent encouragement with my process has drastically changed my life. Deep gratitude! read more

I have been seeing Dr. Schuyler for 6 months now and I highly recommend him! I've been working behind a desk for 10 years, for up to 12 hours a day and thought the pain in my neck, shoulders, lower back and general discomfort was completely normal and would never really go away. In 6 mths, not only has the pain completely subsided, but my posture has improved tremendously. At first, I was skeptical because the touches are so light and gentle, but the results have convinced me otherwise. Also, there's great music to look forward to while getting entrained. read more

Dr. Schuyler is not only an expert in his field of chiropractic, but he is truly a healer. He listens to me, individualizes care for what I need and is so gentle with my care. I could not be happier with the care that I have received, but also how I have been empowered to continue along a healing journey with guidance from his expertise. His care combines physical, mental and emotional levels of healing and changes to create a complete bodily treatment. He is absolutely remarkable and I would recommend Dr. Schuyler to anyone that truly wants to get healthier. read more

my boyfriend and I both got talked into paying him for over 7000.00 of services in advance. As my pain got worse and worse he kept insisting that just coming in and laying on the massage table while he just lightly touched my back and did nothing else but tell me to breath would be all I needed. He had a very simple X-ray taken that he used to totally misdiagnosis me, he was way off. I finally gave up -almost too late and went for an MRI and they found a large growth in my spine that had gone so far I nearly had permanent nerve damage. My boyfriend was also very disappointed with the ridiculous "treatments". He kept double what any real chiropractor would charge. A total scam. Beware. read more

Dr. Schuyler began treating me when I was pregnant to help ensure my body was in the best shape for successful delivery; he first treated my child at 8 days old to very very gently release any tension from birth (it was beautiful to witness) and has cared for myself, my child and my husband over the years since. Any time I feel pain in my neck, or tension in the body, I almost always know it has a stress, fear, overwhelm origin which is manifesting as stuckness and thus pain; his technique guides our own bodies to begin to unwind this tension gently, releasing a TON of the mental and emotional tension first and making space for him to make a deeper physical adjustment after the space is created, helping the body learn a new pattern and not just "go back" to its defensive structure stuckness. It is a whole different ballgame than "crack and go" chiropractic and so much more aligned with the whole person. My husband has deeper physical injury from mountainous adventures and Dr. S's work literally, visibly, sends circulation and ease up to his face and his whole state of being. I've rarely met a health practitioner who gives this level of care, presence, and compassion -- we are grateful for his presence! read more

Greg M. Lompoc, CA My wife and I have been going to Dr. Schuyler for over 18 months. Our experience has been tremendous. The physical changes alone have been remarkable. We both move with greater flexibility and strength. It's as if we have gotten younger. What has been even more surprising and unexpected is the greater sense of peace and emotional well-being. When combined with Dr. Schuyler's genuine and sincere concern for each client's health, the overall experience is something very unique and rewarding. If I have any disappointment, it's only that my three grown children live too far away to benefit from Dr. Schuyler's care. read more

I have been going to Schuyler of Rilascio Network Care for 9 months. According to a neurologist and my primary doctor I needed to see a neurosurgeon for my neck degeneration problems, but then a professional referred me to Rilascio and Schuyler. It has been close to a miracle. Schuyler changed everything: my exercise patterns, my spirit, my ability to give and accept and believe in my body's ability to heal itself. The program he outlined has worked. I am pain free and have greater freedom of movement and this is remarkable for an active 69 year old woman. The quality of my life is immensely improved. I recommend Rilascio without any reservation that they will help you or let you know if they can't. I honestly could not believe it myself, but I was facing surgery and figured that I had nothing to lose. Little did I know that I has everything to gain. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Schuyler for over a year and a half and the treatments I have received from him have been nothing short of life changing. When I found Dr. Schuyler I had been experiencing 3.5 years of daily chronic lower back pain. I was impressed with his professional, scientific approach in our initial exam paired with his kindness and clear communication. I had an x-ray and scans that mirrored the pain that I was feeling in my lower back, hips, upper back and neck. I felt well informed to make a decision for my health and healing to receive Network Care. When I received my first treatment I was surprised by the light touch technique that he used. Little did I know, this light touch technique was doing more for my body that I could ever expect. I was so used to people using 'deep tissue' massage and 'cracking' - I had no reference that a more gentle / tuned in approach was going to yield much more profound results in my body and in my life. Since seeing Dr. Schuyler regularly, my low back pain has completely resolved. I have so much gratitude on a daily basis for how good my body feels and how I am able to move.... I am starting to dance again:) From my experience, I now understand that Network Care is much more than just chiropractic. It is effecting my entire life in a positive way. I feel more open as a person, more expressive as an artist and more willing to take risks. This world of adventure has opened up to me and I feel that I have found an amazing friend in Dr. Schuyler - someone that really listens to me, tailors my care to exactly where I am at in my life and is cheering me on as I have breakthroughs in my healing and in my life. I have recommended Dr. Schuyler to so many people and now I am watching my friends and my family members lives change as a result of Network Care. This is profound work and I am beyond grateful to the woman that introduced me to Dr. Schuyler. One of the best decisions I've ever made! read more

I met Schulyer at the SOL Festival. I had been looking for a network practitioner and he seemed like a person who did this as a calling, not just a profession. I was not in pain, but knew I needed to attend to my spine because I had been experiencing numbness down one leg and toes off and on for two years. The x-ray which showed that my neck was straight where is should be curved and my lower spine vertebrae were offset instead of being aligned in a smooth curve. I thought network chiropractic was simply dealing with the muscles and energy so that the spine would correct itself. Little did I know I was embarking on a great journey. The muscles supporting my vertebrae were clenched with holding 50 years of unresolved fear, hurt and anger from events going back to childhood. I have been receiving treatment for several months and the numbness has shifted and abated. Not only is my spine regaining its proper curve, but my mind and emotions are much more calm and in balance. I am able to be present with my life today, instead of filtering through old events. I feel good that the healing I am participating in is addressing underlying core issues, so that they will be permanently resolved. I'll admit, it's taken courage on my part to dig deep and walk through the feelings that were stored so they could be released, but the reward has been great. I notice feeling more peaceful and less reactive. The electrical intelligence of my nervous system and muscles are responding to the gentle wake up touch provided by a person who has a desire to help and share his gift. I am grateful for the change I have seen in how I feel both physically and emotionally. I am grateful to know that this investment in my well being will serve me for the rest of my life. When they say "body, mind, spirit" they aren't joking - it's all entwined and it's nice when they are entwined peacefully! I wish you well on your healing journey. Everyone must find what works for them, different people need different treatment modalities and must follow their instinct and find the healing they feel is appropriate for what their body is telling them. For those who have the ability and courage to get in touch with their inner being network treatment with Dr. David "Schuyler" De Bourdieu at Rilascio can be a path for great transformation. read more
