Body Tuning & Physical Therapy

The Best Hands On Physical Therapy in New York for musicians, dancers and sports injuries Physical therapist Shmuel Tatz's simple yet comforting New York City clinic, is a haven for injured and aching performers. Pianists appear with carpal tunnel syndrome, violinists arrive with neck and shoulder strains, dancers with hip, knee and back pain. Trained as a dancer in his native Lithuania, Tatz has a special affinity for artists and has treated celebrities such as Isaac Stern, Andrew Lloyd Weber and even Peter Jennings during his 30 years of practice in three continents. However, more that half of Tatz's clients are ordinary people seeking relief from such diverse ailments as arthritis, slipped disks, sinusitis and Parkinson's disease. Most of his patients are women, many hampered by repetitive strain injuries caused by too many hours at a computer keyboard.

Shmuel Tatz was very professional and was very clear in his explanation to me of things I needed to consider.
Amazingly kind and generous, and knowledgeable. Far better than any other pt I have been to in recent memory.
Not your usual physical therapy. Uses very different techniques. Clearly knows what he is doing
Verified patient
It's a process getting fixed when you are injured bit he is excellent
Verified patient
Dr. Tatz was helpful in the first visit. I look forward to working more with him and his body tuning methods. Not traditional physical therapy but I felt benefits from it for sure.
Verified patient
Dr Tatz is very thorough and thoughtful. He brings a problem solving approach to a world where other physical therapists simply go through the motions.

Great doc help with my shin splint
Verified patient
Very kind gentle & skilled.
He is a hands-on physical therapist, not someone who gives you a giant rubber band and says "do 10 reps" then leaves the room and forces you to chase him down for the next non-beneficial exercise. Especially good with musicians and dancers.

Excellent and impressive

Great!
Verified patient
After my first visit I feel much better with a significant reduction in pain. I was particularly impressed with fact that after 10 minutes of working with me, he asked how long I had taken Alexander Techniques lessons (I've studied AT for years) Mr Tatz said I would need 12 - 15 sessions I have feeling he will heal me in much less. I highly recommend Mr. Tatz. Karen B

I left after 18 sessions because I wasn't getting any better. Word to the wise: Find someone who communicates clearly and is willing to work with your doctor.
Verified patient
Lots of people love Dr. Tatz, and he is confident and very skilled. However, his personality was not a good match for me. He could be more understanding of the fact that pain and musicians' injuries have a huge mental and psychological component. At times I think about going back, but I'm afraid he will yell at me.
Verified patient
Very helpful. Will continue
Verified patient
This physical therapist understands the body's messages, expands his attention from the specific site of pain to related sites, uses a variety of approaches to touch, and is deeply kind and insightful. I immediately made another appointment and plan to continue with him. As far as I can tell, he is unique. (I have seen about 10 other PTs over the years.) Highly recommended.
Verified patient
He is the true healer. I've only had 1 session with Dr Tatz and I already feel hundred times better than before. I have never experienced this with any other doctor I've been to, it's amazing. He feels where your problems are, you don't need to tell him anything, he already knows. Dr Tatz is an incredible doctor and I can finally be optimistic that I will be able to return to playing my instrument soon and enjoy life again!
Verified patient
Wonderful and fascinating
Verified patient
he is a master
Verified patient
Incredible healer.
He's a "maestro" when it comes to the healing of the body. He's way ahead of the pack as far as experience and know-how, and is clearly aware of it, as he should be.
He's a healer!
He really knows the body and has a nuanced, multi-disciplinary approach to pain reduction. He'll give you a specific target to get things working/feeling better (e.g. 2x per week for 5 weeks). Robert, who works with him in his office, is amazing as well. Try to work with the two of them together.
He was quite charming and seemed to know what he was doing. I sprained my ankle very badly, and it's nice to have exercises to do now. He told me I'd be dancing in six weeks. The proof is in the pudding, though, so I'll update again here once I've been seeing him for longer. He could bump up to five stars :)
A very uniquer practitioner with a very special way of treating his patients. I have tried many P/T's. Shmuel is the only one that has helped me.
Verified patient
I like his quiet manner and hands-on approach. His receptionist is most polite and helpful!This is the first visit; fingers crossed for good results...
Verified patient
Where would I be today without Shmue;? I walk more easily now. I stand taller now. I feel better now. Everyone says that Shmuel has magic hands - there is no other way to say it. He has. Shmuel's treatments are unique and give you results. He and his staff are skilled and knowledgeable. Thank you, Shmuel!
Verified patient
The Best!! Schmuel Tatz and all at the Tatz Studio are truly wonderful. No matter the level of stress in my body, tension in my shoulders or compression in my lower back, I always walk out of there so much feeling better, and more relaxed, longer and remarkably lighter! The tension and discomfort is just whisked away! In just one session, the difference I feel is amazing. Schmuel himself is a wonder, and his hands are truly healing. I am always treated with such care by everyone, and I am very grateful to have found Schmuel and his Body Tuning!
