I went to Dr. Steve for my shoulder that has been bothering me. He helped me identify the issue and created a program to follow to improve my mobility and strength for my shoulder.While we were following the program he noticed I was not walking quite properly. He ran some diagnostics on me and found that I had minor issues with my knees and ankles. He integrate these issues into my current therapy program. Now I am feeling better than ever in terms of mobility and strength.His skills for identify your physical injuries are incredible. If you would to improve your mobility and strength Dr. Steve is the person you will want to visit ASAP.

I don’t know where I would be without the team at Recalibrate! As a lifelong recreational sports enthusiast (basketball, volleyball, golf, weight-lifting, etc.), I’ve battled a wide array of injuries ranging from major ankle trauma and subsequent life-threatening infection, to shoulder strains, patellar tendinosis (jumper’s knee), and medial epicondylitis (golfer’s elbow). I’ve had 5+ surgeries to address these injuries and resulting wear-and-tear due to over-compensation. As I got into my 30’s, multiple doctors recommended more drastic surgeries like joint fusion that would have forced me to no longer be as active, but luckily I found Dr. Steve Sunderraj. He and his team took the time to understand the full scope of my injury history, and developed a customized series of programs to re-establish strength, balance, flexibility and symmetry to not only alleviate pain from my past injuries, but to help prevent future injury. As a result, I’ve been able to continue an active lifestyle, stay in peak shape, avoid additional surgeries, and eliminate the need for prescription anti-inflammatories and pain killers. I’ve worked with other Physical Therapists, but the personalized care, attention to detail, and focus on teaching you how to continue your progress on your own sets the Recalibrate team apart from the rest.

I’ve been seeing Steve for a while and my pain has been improving and I’ve been getting stronger since I started. I appreciate how he listens and he’s usually able to modify exercises if something bothers me.

I have worked with Dr. Steve and his team for several years to treat joint issues and avoid surgery. Dr. Steve’s approach is detail-oriented, collaborative, and (most importantly) effective. He has a knack for explaining complex issues in ways that someone with no experience in anatomy can understand. And whenever I ask about an exercise, he takes the time to explain what the exercise is targeting and how it fits in to treating my specific issues.On top of all of that, Dr. Steve’s office is always clean, it’s easily accessible by subway, and he always makes an effort to bring in new equipment to make treatment more efficient and effective.Recalibrate PT’s top-notch approach and facilities helped get me back to doing activities that I love without the pesky pain I once had–I can’t recommend this place enough!

Steve Sunderraj is one of the best physical therapist’s in NYC.I had a partially torn MCL and within only a few sessions he had the knee strengthened and functional. Bonus points for making the rest of my muscles looking good.While I was there I complained about my wrist and he managed to fix it as well!He created a full program for me and my knee.He is very knowledgeable and caring but most importantly he is hilarious. Injuries aren’t fun but he still makes me laugh.He is my go-to for future injuries.

Steve has been helping me recover from back surgery since last September.A year ago, squats hurt. Stairs were intimidating. Bend over to pick something up? No way, I’ll just use my toes. I had CONSTANT lower back pain. I felt a hopeless, like this was my new quality of life.Today, I’m way more mobile and pain free than I’ve been in years. Most days of the week, I don’t need pain killers or muscle relaxers.Steve has actually helped improve my quality of life beyond where I was before surgery. Thanks!

Steve Sunderraj and his team are fantastic as professionals and awesome people.I’m a former Mix Martial Arts fighter and full time Jiu-Jitsu coach. My lifestyle comes with my body getting beaten up and of course, injuries. Steve has been amazing on identifying the issue and creating a realistic plan to fix the problems which allows me to continue my work and passion.Steve Sunderraj has helped me with rehabbing wrist, shoulder and back injuries. He identified the issues, gave me a strength program to get healthy and educated me on how to maintain my progress.If you’re an athlete, Steve is one of the best in NYC to talk to aboutany injuries that you’re dealing with. If you’re a regular person who also needs professional physical therapy work, no problem! Steve and his team got you.What’s also guaranteed is that they’ll make you laugh a lot. So hopefully you’re not going to see them with bad ribs. Great personalities, space, and people.

I have been suffering from lower back pain for years and had seen several different physical therapists but saw no progress. An MMA coach recommended Steve and although i was skeptical at first, it was well worth the visit. Steve knew precisely where my tensions were and how to relieve them. Within our first few sessions I could already feel a difference. And was able to hit the gym and increase weight to my deadlifts and barbell squats sooner than anticipated. He even gave me pointers on my form and fixed my balance. (I tend to shift most of my weight on my left side when i stand or jump and he helped me correct that with a few exercises). Any questions I had were throughly answered. Steve is able to take complex ideas and break them down in a simple and engaging way. I don’t have lower back pain anymore but still go to Steve for maintenance!
