Institute Of Physical Therapy

Body Tuning & Physical Therapy is a holistic, out-patient clinic founded by Dr. Shmuel Tatz, PT, PhD in the 1980s. Dr. Tatz, with over 50 years of experience, is renowned for his ability to work with patients of all ages and backgrounds. He has worked with famous musicians, dancers, yoga practitioners, and even adults in their old age and sedentary workers. His goal remains 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. This method was inspired by Dr. Tatz's work with musicians, who regularly tune their instruments. He recognized the similarity between the need to tune an instrument and the need to tune a body, and thus Body Tuning was born.

To become a Body Tuner, one must learn the two most important factors of our method: observation and touch. Observation teaches us natural patterns of a patient's body, while physical touch mobilizes both soft tissue and joints in a problematic area. This touch is made with learned hands, hands that have the ability to feel and listen to the needs of the body in order to obtain maximum results.

Body Tuning blends the best of Western physical therapy and Eastern healing arts. We use reflexo-physiotherapy and an eclectic mix of therapies, including FDA-approved treatments such as magnet therapy, electro-cranial stimulation, electro-vibration, cold laser, and ultrasound. We also re-educate clients in breathing techniques and movement. The goal of Body Tuning is simple: to ease pain in the body and have our patients feeling great.
