I recently decided to go to Art because my neck and shoulders were extremely tight and would make cracking/popping sounds when I moved them. I had been to physical therapists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, and I never felt as if there were any major improvements – just temporary relief. Art was the first to inform me that I actually had what’s called “snapping scapula”. After just two sessions, I feel an extremely noticeable difference. I finally have more ease of movement and less cracking than I’ve had in over a year. He uses a very unique and individualized technique that I have not experienced or seen before. He also gave me specific exercises to do to help speed up the process. I highly recommend him!

I met Art at a summer BBQ 5 years ago. I saw him from a distance and I could feel his awesome energy. We chatted and exchanged cards. I am a massage therapist, a personal trainer and a yoga instructor. So I am always looking for ways to heal myself. I was preparing for an arduous Kettle Bell fitness test, and after six months of nonstop training my body was a mess. ‘Specially my left side. I was living with constant shoulder, neck and hip pain. I called Art and booked a session. I really didn’t know what to expect so I showed up with an open heart. The technique is amazing! In one session I felt a big difference. But Roma was not built in a day, so I booked a few more. The pain is gone my range of motion is back to normal. If you live with pain, from doing too much or from an injury give Art a try. I tell you is not a massage. You don’t even take your clothes off. What it is, is a life changing experience. Thank you Art for sharing your gift. Blessing and Health to you my friend.

Art Jaffe has an intuitive gift for relieving pain and restoring function in the fastest time possible. He took me from walking on 2 canes with 8/10 pain level (and great difficulty) to walking freely,pain decreased to barely noticeable 1/10. My first session with Art occurred 2 months after I’d had a serious accident on icy pavement (with a C5-6, 6-7 neck injury and traumatic brain injury). I had had energy work, massage, chiropractic care and steroids to reduce the brain swelling. Art works miracles with his technique. My life and function was restored by his competence and caring. That was in 2003 and I’ve been an avid fan of this work ever since. I no longer live in NY, but I still see him as often as I can.

I have been seeing Art over a number of years and he has addressed a number of painful challenges beginning with neuropathy in my feet in 2004. Sessions with Art provide relief when traditional medicine has only offered drugs to treat symptoms or possible surgical approaches. As exhausting as a session can be for the amount of physical work performed is extensive, I have never felt better than when I leave his office. In addition to the neuropathy, Art has used his technique to relieve extensive lower back pain and stiffness as well as shoulder and rotater cuff area stiffness and swelling.
Homework assignments of various exercises have proved invaluable in allowing me to overcome out of balance stance and the type of secondary stiffness and pain resulting from overcompensating for various changes in my gate and posture due to to neoropathy, hip wear and ankle deterioration.

Art goes DEEP! I’m a working musician with a chronically bad shoulder and he helped me in a way no other doctor or healer has been able to. He got in there, got results and kindly took the time to show me stretches and exercises to keep my positive momentum going.
Art has such a welcoming way about him, both strong and gentle, that he instantly put me at ease. During our session, he gave me an in-depth descriptions of his techniques, my issues and their possible roots, and the legacy of his teachers and students.
I’ve been to physical therapy, massage parlors, yoga classes – you name it. Art is the first guy to actually CHANGE my shoulder, not just relieve the pain for a moment. For that, I am eternally grateful! Thanks Art!

My name is Emeka Okafor and I am a professional basketball player for the National Basketball Association (NBA). I started my career with the NBA’s Charlotte Bobcats and played for the New Orleans Hornets as well as the Washington Wizards. I have been in the NBA for 10 years and named the 2004 NBA Rookie of the Year. Prior to being drafted in the NBA, I was a member of the 2004 NCAA Championship Team, the University of Connecticut Huskies. Upon winning the title and graduating from college in three years, I was named to the 2004 USA Men’s Basketball team and represented my country in the Olympic Games in Athens, Greece.
In my field, restorative treatments are one of the most paramount components to having a successful career. I worked with many different practitioners and body workers and Arthur Jaffe is one of the finest and most talented. His intuitive, in depth knowledge of the human body and easy-going personality makes him an instrumental piece on the road to recovery. I can personally attest to his specific knowledge and expertise in healing. In the short while that I have had the privilege of working with Arthur, I have seen long held physical and emotional tension melt away. During each session I can (literally) feel my body clock being turn back as my muscles relax, aches disappear, and youthful vigor return.
I have personally consulted with Arthur and plan to continue working closely with him for the remainder of my career as a professional basketball player. I would recommend him to my family members as well as any player in the NBA or other professional sporting organizations in the United States. He truly is a uniquely qualified individual in the realm of healing.

“Childhood injuries resulted in discomfort and limited ranges of motion in my left shoulder and right hip. One session with Arthur Jaffe significantly reduced the muscle spasms that were causing these conditions. He even managed to “drop” my left shoulder 2 inches, back to its intended height.
Until this therapy session, I lived with these afflictions for over 40 years. I had tried many other procedures with lackluster results. I recommend anyone with similar or analogous conditions to seriously consider seeking relief from Arthur Jaffe.”

“I wanted to sit down and write this letter so I could share with you the dramatic improvements that have taken place with my body since our neuromuscular therapy began. I need to bore you with a few details about my health history and background first.
I played football for 16 years which took a negative toll on m body. Within a three year period, I had reconstructive knee surgery, tore my hip flexor, severely strained my lower back, not to mention numerous concussions, broken hands, ribs, etc. While I had a love affair with the game of football, I began to realize that it took away my health, mobility, and at times my normal frame of mind. Once my time on the gridiron ran out, all of the past injuries came back to haunt me. I developed severe pain in my hips and upper back. I have visited dozens of chiropractors and specialists with no luck of ridding myself of the pain. The constant pain began to also impact on my frame of mind. Just a few years ago, I felt invincible, always ready to rise to any physical challenge. Suddenly I could not even get up from the floor or climb the stairs without considerable help. At 27 years old, I felt 77 and in my mind was a constant feeling of defeat. My three-year-old daughter would ask me to sit on the floor and read her books. I would have to explain to her that Daddy just couldn’t do that. I was missing out on precious moments with my little girl. Simple tasks like finding my shoes were no longer possible and had to be done by my wife because I just couldn’t bend down to get on my knees to look under the bed.
After these last couple of years of pain and low self-esteem, I sought your help. In today’s world, society loosely uses the term “great.” I have always felt that this term “great” should be used for things like the Mona Lisa, Babe Ruth, the Sistine Chapel. Let me say this: Art Jaffe is GREAT. My pain is entirely gone. I can run, jump, and most importantly, sit on the floor and read to my daughter. My mental frame of mind has improved 100 fold. Nothing seems like a challenge anymore and I feel like I could play football again. Everyday when I wake up, I smile because I knew that my worse day being pain free will be better than my best day when I was in pain. Thank you, Art, for giving me a new lease on life.”

“Dear Art,
I shuffled into your office with debilitating muscular pain that had been crippling me for months. The strong prescribed medicinesgave me no relief, but after 90 minutes of your fingers, thumbs, elbows and feet digging deep into my body, I walked out pain free, and I’ve been that way for 6 weeks!
Now, I can stretch and move comfortably. I can’t thank you enough.”
