I have been to countless physical therapists for a chronic shoulder injury and FINALLY found Dr. Steve post-surgery. He is by far the best physical therapist I have ever worked with and I would recommend him to anyone seeking physical therapy. I have been seeing Dr. Steve for several months now and can confidently say that my shoulders feel the strongest and most stable they have ever felt. Dr. Steve always comes up with clever exercises that are challenging and incorporate full body/dynamic movements. Dr. Steve is an all-around great guy and incredible physical therapist – go see him if you are in need of PT!

After sustaining a traumatic shoulder injury (not chronic) earlier this year that resulted in a labral tear, I saw a number of surgeons with differing opinions. The first Dr. said surgery, and subsequent opinions included trying PT before surgery or instead of surgery. By recommendation of fellow climbing friends, I met with Steve. He worked with me for 10 sessions over the last 3 months, tailoring very specifically to my needs as a climber, with every session building on the previous. Steve always prepared exercises for each meeting, and I was very grateful for how motivated he was to help me get back to and beyond my former shoulder stability and strength. I am back to climbing at my personal best level and continuing with the exercises he taught me.

Steve is always polite, encouraging, and clearly very talented at what he does. I would recommend him highly to anyone.

As a competitive CrossFit coach and athlete, I get exposed to a lot of different variants and fads when it comes to sports medicine. Everybody seems to have a seemingly unique way of approaching injury and prevention. The problem is most of them don’t work…especially in the long term.

After a few sessions with Steve, he identified the ROOT cause of my shoulder issue and helped with both immediate pain relief and the longterm solution. I recommend him for his services and refer quite a bit of clients to him.

I had suffered from chronic Achilles tendonitis for over 20 years before meeting Dr. Politis. In fact, I had been walking with a limp the entire year before my first appointment. I was only 50 years old and becoming more and more depressed about my situation with no relief in sight. Another physical therapist told me I was my own worst enemy and that my condition had persisted for so long, that there was probably no hope for me. After my first meeting with Dr. Politis, my limp and sharp pain with every step had disappeared. He assessed my movement patterns and prescribed exercises designed to heal myself. I would highly recommend Dr. Politis to anyone suffering from chronic pain. He is the best! Thanks again Dr. Politis! Feel free to edit or embellish my testimony in anyway you see fit to serve your needs.

Steve is by far the most professional and astute practitioner I have had the pleasure of working with. His knowledge of the body and what it is needing are top notch. My osteoarthritis pain and the attending nerve pain have both been lessened to a great extent by the work we have done together. He sets goals collaboratively with me and “assigns” exercises for me to do at home which are quite safe and ‘doable’ and have helped me a great deal. He never pushes me too much, and the safe procedures he uses on me always leave me feeling better and hopeful for the future.
