I absolutely recommend Dave to anyone having back or hip pain.

    Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot say enough great things about David Junga and Junga Health! I spent 8 months doing guided pulmonary rehab via Zoom with David in preparation for my double lung transplant on May 1, 2023. The personalized care, expertise, and dedication David provided were truly life-changing. Thanks to the work we did together, I was only hospitalized for 8 days—remarkable compared to the typical 14 to 21 days for such a procedure. Now, 16 months post-transplant, I’m walking 4 to 6 miles per day, feeling stronger than ever, and have not been readmitted once. David's guidance played a major role in my recovery, and I couldn’t be more grateful for his support. I highly recommend Junga Health to anyone looking for comprehensive and effective rehabilitation!

As someone working to manage the symptoms of pulmonary fibrosis, I understand the importance of exercise — especially pulmonary rehabilitation — in optimizing muscle efficiency and overall vitality. David's vast knowledge of pulmonary and physiological health has been invaluable. His compassionate and motivational approach has taught me the correct way to exercise for my specific needs.

David Junga's online  pulmonary rehabilitation program is exemplary. It underscores the importance of correct exercise techniques. Through his program, I've learned precise methodologies to derive the utmost advantage from each movement. The flexibility to progress at a comfortable speed, coupled with a comprehensive training guide, has kept me focused and directed. I recommend this program to anyone who wants to take charge of their health while coping with lung or any other issues.
I truly believe that I have lived longer by working with David.

The 7 Keys to Success

1. Please understand that this is a process, NOT a quick fix.

3. Do your homework! Try to do your exercises 4-5 days per week.

4. Go at your own pace! Your body will get stronger especially if you perform your exercises consistently and coordinate your breathing properly with your movements.

5. Focus on proper posture & body alignment – feet straight, fist width apart, shoulders down and slightly pinched and a level chin.

6. Tell us if you notice your body is compensating during the exercises (such as leaning to one side) or any pain/discomfort.

7. Follow up with us to discuss your progress in an open and honest manner.

How many sessions will I need?

The standard curriculum is twice (2x) per week for 15 weeks. I always say ‘start with 10 sessions and see the results’.

Most of my clients continue because they have noticed it helps improving their breathing and their quality of life and they want to complete the curriculum.

At Junga Health, we believe that true wellness comes from the harmonious integration of mind, body, and spirit.

The Junga Method is the embodiment of this philosophy, a comprehensive approach designed to help you breathe better, get stronger, and live longer—all with improved posture and less pain.

Our proprietary Flow Controlled Breathing© technique lies at the heart of the Junga Method. Developed in 1999, this innovative approach has been the foundation of our successful Pulmonary Rehabilitation practice for over two decades.

In 2011, we recognized the powerful synergy between pulmonary care and posture therapy, leading us to integrate Posture Therapy into Pulmonary Rehabilitation and Flow Controlled Breathing© into Posture Therapy.

This fusion created a unique, holistic model that empowers our clients to take control of their health and well-being.

Our Journey

The Junga Method© began in 2011, when our founder, David Junga, RRT, PAS, saw the need to expand the benefits of Pulmonary Rehabilitation by incorporating Posture Therapy.

David understood that proper posture is essential not only for physical alignment but also for optimal breathing and overall health.

By adding Flow Controlled Breathing© to Posture Therapy, he created a revolutionary approach that addresses the body as a whole.

The results were immediate and remarkable. Our clients began experiencing significant improvements in their health, from increased lung capacity and reduced pain to better posture and a stronger sense of well-being.

This transformative combination of therapies solidified our place as pioneers in the therapy world.

Since the inception of the Junga Method© , our client outcomes have soared, reinforcing our reputation as leaders in integrated therapy. But more importantly, it has transformed countless lives. Our clients report not just physical improvements, but also a renewed sense of vitality, confidence, and connection to their bodies.

At Junga Health, we are more than just a therapy provider. We are a partner in your journey to better health, committed to helping you achieve lasting, meaningful change.

Whether you’re struggling with chronic pain, seeking to improve your posture, or looking to enhance your breathing, the Junga Method© offers a path to a healthier, happier life.

We invite you to experience the Junga Method© and discover the difference that a truly integrated approach to health can make.
