“I have seen Elliot Shratter on two occassions. The first was for a sharp pain in my elbow that was caused by years of weight lifting. I have known several fellow weightlifters that have had this same problem, and all informed me that it was something they learned to live with. I have visited Mr. Shratter about this issue, and after two sessions, my elbow pain disappeared. I have been pain free for nearly two years. I then visited him once again regarding shoulder pain. Mr. Shratter once again provided me with theapy that diminished the pain, and I have not felt any pain in my shoulder since.

When other forms of treatment have not worked, I highly recommend you give myofascial threapy a try.”

“Elliot is a wonderful partner in my well being.

I have taken several injuries to him, one that had lasted for many years with many attempts at healing, and each time I leave not only feeling better, sometimes completely "fixed" but also with simple stretches that will continue the healing or prevent it from reoccurring.

I have referred several people who have had similar experiences.  And, on top of it all he is totally delightful to be with--warm, patient, funny and attentive.  He is very responsive in setting up appointments, I've never waited more than a few hours to hear back from him to schedule--quite an experience in today's medical world.”

"My back therapy with Elliot R. Shratter was definitely worth it. My appointments were first somewhat cheaper than other places and second they weren't overly long. After just a few times my back was feeling great. I was able to get back to working out and doing things I love. I couldn't thank Elliot enough for the help he gave me. :)"

Upon my first meeting and consultation with E. Shratter, I was impressed with his forthrightness in telling me that "we would know if he could help me after 1 or 2 treatments."  I liked that and hoped that the answer would be "YES!"  I had right knee pain and swelling after an auto accident injury.  In addition, the nerve from my right hip gave me pain extending down the leg.

After a 30-45 minute treatment when I was asked to walk, I was pleasantly surprised that I could walk without a limp or being in pain.  I was given a couple of exercises to do and made an appointment to come back.  This went on for 4 treatments during the month of April 2012.

Each time when I returned, Mr. Shratter listened intently to what felt better and where the pain continued.  He thoughtfully pinpointed the area(s) of concern, zeroed in on the treatment, and gave me exercises accordingly. I went from pain, to tolerable, to uncomfortable, to pain-free!

My knee is still weak, but I do not experience pain when walking, getting up from sitting, or when I sleep. I am so hopeful and encouraged that with time I can strengthen the knee and walk normally. When pain is alleviated, one can rest and healing can begin.

I would highly recommend Elliott Shratter and trigger point therapy for pain and healing.

I have been a patient of Elliot Shratter about 12 years. I have a herniated disk in my lower back and arthritis in my back, shoulder, knees and feet. I come once a month and feel that the treatments have helped me avoid surgery.

Elliot Shratter has been treating me for several years for chronic neck and back pain. I had seen several myofascial therapists prior to Elliot and had very little success. Elliot's methods are extremely effective. He is not only a great therapist but also has become a great friend. Thank you Elliot!!

I have been a patient of Elliot's for 10 years. Although nothing can stop the progression of my osteoarthritis and the possible need for a hip replacement, his treatments have helped me to avoid the use of some heavy duty pain medications.
