Your car gets a regular tune-up,
so should your body.

Founded by Dr. Shmuel Tatz, PT in the 1980s, Body Tuning & Physical Therapy is an out-patient clinic in NYC that works with a holistic approach. Dr. Tatz works one-on-one with each patient to give the necessary attention to the body and its movements.

They’ve worked with famous musicians and dancers, yoga practitioners, adults in their old age, sedentary workers, etc. Their goal is the same for everyone. To get the body moving at maximum potential, feeling the best it can, and avoiding the pitfalls of aging.

What is Body Tuning?

The Body Tuning method uses sight and physical touch to create an extraordinary experience where the hands listen to the body. We begin by observing a client in motion; how he/she is walking or moving. Then using physical touch we evaluate any restrictions in the body. Using our learned hands enables us to feel how soft tissue and joints move and guides us as to how and where the body would be best treated. The goal is simple: to ease pain and discomfort in the body.
