Daniel Padmos is a musician turned physical therapist. After completing a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in music performance, from NYU and the University of Michigan, respectively, Daniel found his true passion: listening to the body. Trained by Dr. Shmuel Tatz in the Body Tuning method, Daniel went on to attain a doctorate in physical therapy from Arcadia University. His crossover knowledge as a musician and therapist allows him to provide the unique care needed for performing artists.
During his time at the Body Tuning studio, Daniel became a manual therapy specialist. He’s gifted with the ability to see asymmetrical differences and points of pain in the body and in return how to treat them with the art of touch. When creating exercises for his clients he watches how one walks, plays an instrument, moves through their yoga practice, or sits at their desk and then formulates exercises that will make these actions easier on the body. He is a passionate therapist whose intellect, grounded in the most current research, goes beyond the body and its movements.
Daniel’s scientific approach to strength training and tissue healing, combined with his intuitive touch, has made him a much sought-after clinician. He works daily with musicians from Lincoln Center and Broadway as well as with elite ballet dancers, gifted high-school athletes, corporate executives and the elderly. He is able to match his therapy to the needs of his diverse clientele by combining techniques from Western Physical Therapy with methods derived from Acupuncture, Ayurvedic Massage, Alexander Technique, Visceral Manipulation, Chinese Medicine and Energy Healing. Drawing on his various pools of knowledge, he hopes to educate his clients on the power of breath, body, and mind connection.
