Steve Kravitz Physical Therapy

I went to someone in Nantucket — Paula McQuaid who does the same thing as Steve and I was skeptical of finding someone who could parallel her. Steve and her are on the same level. Not sure if there are any as good as them or if I’m partial. I don’t know what these people do but I come out feeling miraculously better on not just a physical level but spiritually. Astounding. Amazing. True healer. Thank you Steve! You saved my life.

I’ve been dealing with low back and sciatic nerve pain due to disc herniation (L5-​S1) for over 20 years. I give Steve my highest possible recommendation for both treatment of pain and overall physical well being.
Over the years I have tried many forms of physical therapy and pain relief, including: acupuncture, chiropractic adjustment, injections, massage, traction, yoga, pain management/​drugs and more — with very limited success (or none at all). I was introduced to Steve Kravitz’s Craniosacral practice in the late 90’s and achieved immediate and unrivaled results.
Though he is candid in his assessments and confident in his analysis, both his touch and demeanor are extremely gentle and comforting. Steve’s knowledge of the physical body is vast and his familiarity with treatment methodologies is extensive. He has even been great to speak/​consult with about the pros and cons of traditional and surgical treatments.
I wish I could see Steve once/​month — but having moved away from New York City it is difficult for me to see Steve with regularity. Thankfully the healing I have received from him is deep and lasting. He has also referred me for treatment to others in his extended network of talented and diverse healers.
I have no doubt that Steve and his magic hands would be beneficial to anyone suffering from pain or looking for balance.

Absolutely phenomenal. Kind, intuitive, grounded, wonderfully talented and extremely knowledgeable. He is the rare gem; the practitioner who when you visit you can completely trust and who inspires confidence. He has the ability to read your physical and energetic symptoms but also has a giant toolbox of different modalities which he seamlessly uses. He gave suggestions, exercises and information that would mean I am not reliant on him or going for repeated follow-​ups. I have a severely torn labrum and a lot of referred pain. When I left Steve, and still three days later, the pain had lessened by 50%. When I left, I felt a tranquility and relief from pain that stayed with me for days. If you have to wait, it’s worth it. He’s a maestro.

I have never reviewed anyone on Unilocal ever but I want to post about Steve bc he is so amazing. He is a miracle worker and without going into the details of my personal medical history trust me when I say that whenever anything goes wrong with my health I ALWAYS think of Steve first. He is gifted and it’s wonderful to be treated by someone who is truly fulfilling his calling. I can not say enough great things about him.

Three days after this review was posted, I received the following text from Steve:
«Thanks for the sweet review online. I spoke to (his mentor) and you won’t be seen at his practice or mine ever again.»
Obviously I would not be seen at Steve’s practice again — Steve dropped me as a patient, and his treatment of me caused me to seek another therapist eventually.
I called his mentor to confirm this information, and his mentor said he had no idea what I was talking about, and I must be misunderstanding Steve’s text because it was not true. His mentor had me read the text to him, and he was confused — but said that he had no problem treating me.
Today, I received a call from Steve’s mentor. Steve sent his mentor this review on Unilocal via email after my phone conversation with his mentor, and now his mentor is not comfortable treating me — his mentor did so in a very nice and professional manner, and also gave me a referral to someone else.
I felt that I did not want to have a therapist within this network, as Steve was obviously spreading negative information about me to other practitioners.
I found someone on Google, and we were in the process of making an appointment, when she asked me who I was seeing previously for this therapy. after being in email communication with her every 15 minutes, I did not hear back from her for a few hours. When I did hear back from her, she said she spoke to Steve as well today and would not be able to see me as a patient. This therapist informed me that this would not work due to her not being able to be partial in treating me, as she is friends with Steve. She informed me in a professional and honest manner.
So, in the end — Steve Kravitz has not only interfered with my initial treatment, he is now interfering with my future treatments.
Steve Kravitz sends out negative energy into the world. I do not recommend Steve Kravitz to anyone who is seeking an honest and caring practitioner for craniosacral therapy.
I am obviously being blacklisted from finding relief from my pain because Steve does not like that I reviewed him negatively on Unilocal.
I have never heard of anyone I know who has reviewed a business negatively on Unilocal being blacklisted from any other business. I also have never experienced this type of treatment from a practitioner in my 10 years living in NYC.

Decided to take a chance and see Steve based on the Unilocal reviews and turns out it was a good decision.
I had intensive neck pain and sinus issues (from a previous infection). When I called Steve to consult he didn’t sound too enthusiastic to see me but was more insistent I visit with a ENT.
I had already taken antibiotics and consulted with a regular MD who prescribed another 10 day dose which I was hesitant to consume.
Definitely feel a difference after my visit with Steve and hope there won’t be a need for more medicine!

Steve’s work is amazing. I went to Steve because of a sharp pain under my shoulder blade. He didn’t try to «crack my back», adjust my spine or sell me vitamins on the way out. What he did was find the source of the pain and fix it… in a single visit I felt 100% better when I left. My business partner and his wife now are Steve loyalists, too.
Steve is a smart, caring, well trained, compassionate practitioner. I would send my grandma.

I’m very picky about doctors and any sort of health-​oriented practitioner. I was referred to Steve Kravitz through a co-​worker who also coincidentally saw my accupucturist. I’ve been seeing my accupuncturist for over 10 years and trust him implicitly (he’s a very cool guy). He confirmed that he knew Steve Kravitz and thought he was very good.
A few months later I threw my back out trying to move my television in a fit of furniture re-​arranging and went to Steve. He literally made the pain disappear. I then began to see him for other things like the chronic muscle spasms I get in my neck/​shoulder/​back due to computer mouse use. I’ve had this condition also for about 10 years and seeing Steve has really helped this situation.
For a little while I was bouncing back and forth between Steve and my accupuncturist because the two seemed to complement each other. My accupuncturist noticed this and now he has been regularly sending his patients to Steve as well!
I highly recommend him. He’s extremely knowledgeable and has a nice repertoire that ranges from physical therapy to massage to cranio sacral therapy. He uses different techniques based on the condition. Steve is also one of the most geniunely nice guys you’ll ever meet. I’ve been a patient of his for two or three years now and I’ve been recommending him to friends. I’ll continue to see him as long as he practices in NYC!
