What is Body Tuning?
The Body Tuning method is a unique, hands-on approach that combines the best of Western physical therapy and Eastern healing arts. The process begins with careful observation of the client's movements and posture, followed by a gentle physical evaluation using touch. This enables us to identify any restrictions or imbalances in the body's soft tissue and joints. With our specially trained hands, we mobilize both soft tissue and joints in problematic areas, providing relief and promoting optimal movement.
At Body Tuning & Physical Therapy, we recognize the importance of combining various treatment modalities to achieve the best results. Dr. Tatz has developed a unique blend of reflexo-physiotherapy and an eclectic mix of therapies, which includes FDA-approved treatments such as magnet therapy, electro-cranial stimulation, electro-vibration, cold laser, and ultrasound. We also incorporate breathing techniques and movement re-education into each session.

One reviewer describes Dr. Tatz as a "physical therapy wizard" who is "straight forward, concentrates on healing process based on decades of knowledge." Several patients have praised Dr. Tatz's unique approach, which focuses on understanding and addressing the whole picture of their body, not just treating symptoms.
Involvement and Results
Patients have reported significant improvements in their conditions, often after a short period of treatment. Dr. Tatz is described as being able to "feel the issues" and understand the human body, allowing him to pinpoint the root of the problem and develop effective treatment plans. One patient, a musician, was able to return to performing music after suffering from chronic pain, crediting Dr. Tatz's treatment.
Dissatisfying Experience
However, one patient had a less-than-stellar experience, giving Dr. Tatz's practice a rating of 2 stars. This patient felt that Dr. Tatz's treatment was not addressing the underlying issues of their condition, despite attending numerous sessions. After presenting Dr. Tatz with MRI results that suggested the need for a different approach, the patient felt dismissed and frustrated, citing Dr. Tatz's "arrogance, disregard for scientific evidence, and lack of interest in what truly matters, i.e., healing the patient."
