Founder
Steve Horney graduated from Quinnipiac University 's top-ranked accelerated Masters program and began his clinical practice in 2005. Since then, he’s prided himself on combining extensive physical therapy knowledge with his own experiences as an athlete to effectively treat his patients.
From the beginning, Steve has worked with a broad spectrum of patients ranging from weekend marathon runners to professional athletes and always keeps the focus on searching for the cause of the dysfunction instead of simply trying to reduce symptoms. Steve has recently been seen on CBS Newspath, is a leading contributor to world-wide physical therapy information hub theptproject.com, and served as an editor for "Running Without Injury," a guide to avoiding injuries and increasing performance in the running population.
Steve specializes in the assessment and treatment of athletes with the ultimate goal of helping them become pain free and less susceptible to injury in the future. He works with each of his patients to help them understand the root cause of their pain, which in the spine often results from improper positioning while at rest – such as stressful body ergonomics at a workstation or poor sleeping postures and improper muscle imbalance in the extremities. Working with patients one-on-one, Steve provides personalized techniques to correct these problems, helping them to live beyond their injury.
In his professional life he has worked with some of the top physical therapists in the city and managed one of New York 's premiere physical therapy clinics. He has also completed the course work for a 2 year matriculating program from the University of St. Augustine, studying Manual Therapy with world-renowned Stanley Paris PT PhD. These courses in manual therapy, or the art of using your hands for healing, have given Steve a skill set and algorithm to solve any musculoskeletal problem in the body.
