Our Story and Team Approach
Steve Kravitz Physical Therapy was founded in the philosophy that the body’s has a unique ability to heal when treated at the root source of the problem—through hands on, specialized manual therapy for each individual. By working outside of the traditional insurance system on this unique style of physical therapy, we built a model of patient care that gives us the freedom to put the patients’ needs first and not what an insurance company will dictate. This patient-driven treatment model ensures each patient receives the full attention, time, and expertise of their therapist to alleviate pain and enhance mobility—without compromise.
With over twenty-five years of training across a broad range of manual therapies developed by osteopaths and physical therapists, Dr Steve Kravitz successfully created a unique and innovative approach to therapeutics, becoming a leading expert in CranioSacral Therapy, Myofascial Release, Nerve Mobilization, and Visceral Manipulation. He discovered that these effective treatments were sorely under-represented by the modern medical community and realized that these practices could be seamlessly integrated with a traditional Physical Therapy approach.
Steve is joined by a team of passionate and accomplished clinicians who now represent a wide spectrum of manual therapy and performance medicine expertise at the practice. From orthopedic manual therapy and pelvic health to vocal massage and advanced dry needling techniques, our team members each provide highly specialized treatments for a wide range of conditions. Together, we’ve built a practice that benefits every patient who walks through our doors.
Our Hourly Treatments
We believe hands-on physical therapy is the best way to understand and diagnose pain, treat it effectively, and monitor and adjust throughout the healing process. We find that pain is rarely rooted in a single spot, and its origins need to be traced along interconnected systems. As such, our array of manual therapies allows us to deliver personalized orthopedic and osteopathic protocols for each patient.
When you are scheduled for treatment, our undivided attention is on you and your personal health and wellness goals. We take a full history, listen to your story, study your body’s needs, and then work with our hands to improve the quality of your life. Every session is a full hour, giving us the time to fully address your issues.
What makes our sessions unique is that we treat every patient for one full hour of hands on therapy. In traditional rehab physical therapy practices, patients are often seen for only a few minutes and then given exercises, put on a machine, or given a hot/cold pack as their form of treatment. An hourly model, allows us to spend quality time treating a patient and getting to the root of the problem.
When you schedule a session, you’re not just getting one provider’s insight; you’re tapping into a dynamic collective that draws from decades of combined experience across disciplines. We share knowledge, consult on complex cases, and integrate care plans to reflect a truly whole-person approach.
Our Patient First Philosophy
Following the completion of my Doctorate in Physical Therapy, I founded my practice based on the belief that you truly can put the patient’s need first and provide a service that meaningfully changes a person’s quality of life. Sadly, it became clear at the same time that insurance companies were becoming more and more powerful in dictating patient care with strict guidelines of what therapy should consist of.
For any specific treatment concern, when an insurance company finds that a single method is more effective across a wide-range of the population, that doesn’t always mean that will serve my patient’s needs. So, I decided to build a private pay practice, giving our team the freedom to work on a patient-driven treatment plan.
