I'm a local to Az but working in NY for 6 weeks for Off Broadway; I was in need desperate need of weekly PT. After researching physical therapists near Gramercy, I took a chance on Strive and was not disappointed! So grateful for them! I have had 4 appointments and found these positive attributes: 1) Accept Insurance- such a plus honestly! They will pair medical procedure like acupuncture tire/cupping/ chiropractor with the 30 minutes sports massage. Very transparent with prices and what insurance does and doesn't cover. 2) Always on time and efficient! I've never waited more than 5 minutes 3) I've had 4 separate massage therapists, and each one was great! Not a bad sports massage to date Only negative Ive found is as much as I can see his positive intentions, Xing Xhang LAC acupuncturist seems to rush through his procedures. Specifically with acupuncture, patient is always left with the emergency button and after 3 visits, I finally asked what to do in the event of an uncomfortable needle or emergency and he THEN went and got an emergency button. Wish I could give it 4.6 stars and not just 4 or 5.... read more

Strive Total Wellness is AMAZING!! From the clean facility to the friendly receptionists and staff. Strive Total Wellness is a one-stop-shop that combines all the physical cares you need. They have chiropractors, acupuncturists, masseuses, trainers, nutrition, and physical therapists all in one place at their Midtown East location right out of the 6 train. I personally have been experiencing some lower back pain for almost a year due to improper postures and prolonged sitting. A family friend (who ran 10+ marathons) recommended Total Strive Wellness and Dr. Tiffany and my experiences so far have nothing but spectacular! I saw Dr. Tiffany Gunawardena and her colleagues, Dr. Michael Natal, Dr. Zhang, and have had massages from Christina and Zach for about two months. During my first session, someone from the front desk explained to me how my insurance works. After that, each session was a combo of chiropractic care with either massage, acupuncture and or PT as I progress in my journey. One thing I notice and appreciate the most is that the doctors have their share of/personal experiences with pain before. This makes them great doctors, as they can understand and sympathize with the patients. Coupled with their experiences and expertise, this makes them so exceptional! Dr. Tiffany has helped my back tremendously during the last two months. She has provided tips that made my work from home office ergonomic, improved my sleeping environment, recommended supplements, as well as analyzed what sports (and how much) I should and shouldn't do. Dr. Michael Natal really understands and has had a lot of experiences treating back conditions such as mine. He was able to pinpoint and massaged out my knots and significantly improved my pain, in addition to teaching me the core exercises. After two months, one of the most obnoxious knot that was lingering in my lower right back has dissolved. I woke up this morning feeling like a new person. Words cannot describe how grateful I am for this team's care! To sum: - Go see Dr. Tiffany, Dr. Natal, Dr. Zhang and all the masseuses at this place!! - Trust this team's evaluations - Follow the doctors recommendations, buy their tools and make improvements in your environment - Last but not least, trust the process and do every stretch and exercise they tell you to do Cheers to people feeling better! read more

From Dr. Tiffany, to Shelly, Johnson, Cesar and Brent, my Strive experience has been on point for well over a year. I am extremely grateful for this team of professionals! read more

Dr. Deo is an absolute pleasure to be treated by. I have had chronic back pain for years now with no underlying medical condition. I tried many different treatments and remedies, but nothing worked. It was not until i started dry needling that i for once in my life found some kind of hope and regained a little confidence. Dr. Deo is easy to talk to, personable and she answers all my questions. Combined with Dr. Deo's treatment, Dr. Tan has been excellent chiropractor teaching me breathing techniques and strategies to keep my core engaged. Dr. Sam has helped me learn new workouts and targets specific muscles that has helped me build a good routine. The massage therapist, Lily is fabulous! Thanks to this entire team for their wonderful work and patience along my healing journey. I am optimistic because of you all read more

I can't speak to their medical therapy because I was put off before even setting an appointment. I first made a request an insurance check on their website. They emailed back confirming my status, and asked for my availability which is reasonable. But then not even one day goes by, and they go and book appointments (4 of them, mind you) without talking to me. And then called my phone twice leaving voicemails to call them back. If you're going to bungle this, how am I going to trust you with my health issues? read more

Dr.Tiffany and Sam rock! They absolutely made me feel 100% better. The place is clean, Professional, and Hip! They made me feel welcome from The moment I walked in! Thanks guys! read more

I have had horrible TMJ my whole life and Dr. Lea Cloribel has made it not only feel better but also helped me understand what I can do to prevent it. It's strange to get PT on your jaw since it involved a stranger massaging the inside of your mouth but Dr. Lea made me comfortable since day one. I look forward to seeing her every time, she is so kind & fun to be around! Truly feel seen and heard by her. My insurance isn't accepted there sadly but their cash rate is $75 a visit and I do not mind paying that much for the amount of pain relief. I also have to take two trains and bus to get there but it is WORTH IT which is saying something for a NYer!! Everyone I've interacted with there is so nice, the rooms are always clean and incredibly comfortable. Definitely will go here for all my future needs of PT. read more

This business needs to get someone else in the evening to clean the restrooms. The restrooms are are always over flowing with hand towels in the trash and I don't even want to dry my hands. This is so upsetting that you go into a rest room like that. read more

I can't believe it's taken me this long to write a review! I've been going to Strive for almost three years now. I was referred by a co-worker, who raved about acupuncture with Johnson. Over the years, he has treated me for a variety of ailments- insomnia, anxiety/stress, constipation, appetite control, back pain. He is absolutely amazing and truly dedicated to his clients and their overall well being. Their massage therapists are also awesome. I get weekly massages with Shu, who I highly recommend. He's able to consistently treat the exact areas of my lower back and shoulders that are the most achey and sore. He's truly a master of his craft. With very little prompting, he somehow always knows which exact muscles are hurting the most that day. I've also gotten massages from Samantha and Amy, who are also great massage therapists as well! Strive has taken all of the post-Covid precautions necessary and I've definitely felt safe since returning. read more

I am so glad that I found STRIVE! Finally a one-stop-shop with excellent holistic care. Everyone who works here is incredibly friendly and it feels like I am a member instead of a patient. I go in for 3 types of treatment (chiropractic, acupuncture, and TPI). Dr. T and Dr. Tiffany (chiropractors) are wonderful and take the time to listen and understand my pain issues. They also provide exercises to help strengthen the body in addition to adjustments. Johnson the acupuncturist is great and has been helping me with pain, digestion, and stress. He is easy to talk to and incorporates multiple types of treatment (needle acupuncture, cupping, herbs, nutritional advice). Dr. Deo the physician has helped address my muscular pain with deep tissue treatment as well as trigger point injections. She is also very easy to talk to and I enjoy being able to have great conversations during treatment. STRIVE is amazing and I always feel wonderful after my sessions here! Highly recommended. read more

ALL of the Front desk receptionists have VERY nasty attitudes, very unwelcoming and unprofessional with how they speak over the phone as well. I made one mistake with the time of my appointment but there was no need for all the sass. Absolute joke this place. read more

Having scoliosis for years, I've always had trouble with my back but especially more during this quarantine. I am so grateful that I found out about Strive Total Wellness. The facility is clean and all the doctors I've been seeing has helped me to get over my back problems. Not only do the practitioners help with the occurring pain but also show ways to strengthen your body doing you daily activities to prevent future pain. Ive been seeing Dr.T (chiropractor) Dr.Dale (pain management doctor) and Dr. Jonathan (acupuncturist). This is the place to go! The name totally matches what the doctors want for you. "Strive for Wellness" read more

Amy was at Tonehouse last night (1/12) and I got WORKED before class. Calves got the business and she provided a very in-depth and accessible briefing on something called fascia (not to be confused with fascism, which is something different and way worse). She knows her A&P 4 sure and is very passionate about her trade. read more

Bottom line: Go.Here.Yesterday. It's hands down the best. Long winded review: I have been seeing a chiropractor since I was an infant. I have scoliosis and a few other complications that involve my back, neck and hips. Since I've been going forever, and because I work as a nurse, I have really high standards for what I want and expect in a practice, especially one in which I'm trusting my spine with. When I moved to NYC I was really discouraged trying to find a practice that was reputable, didn't push products or services and where I felt confident and comfortable with. I had tried 3 places prior that were busts. One even tried to tell me I needed to undergo surgery and have a series of injections after only 2 visits. (Watch out for places like this). Fate was on their A-game and I stumbled across Strive Total Wellness and I truly can't say enough positive things about this place. The staff is incredible. They are knowledgeable, kind, flexible, welcoming and always professional. From their front desk staff to their practitioners, even the owner is a stand-up guy - I've met them and would invite them come over for dinner with my mom - they're that good. I really like that they take such a holistic approach to your health. They are also huge advocates for you with insurance as well. They incorporate a series of options and services based on what you're open to and what you need. The services I utilize are chiropractic, pilates, acupuncture and massage. They offer other services but if I spend anymore time there, they're going to start charging me rent. I always look forward to my appointments. I see "Dr. T" (Dr. Vincent Tagliaferro) as my chiropractor and Dr. Xing "Johnson" Yang as my acupuncturist. All hail the dream team. I'd be a crippled mess without them. They are both masters of their craft AND personable human beings. Dr. T has a background in sports, training, weight lifting and PT. If he doesn't know it or can't fix it, it doesn't exist. And Johnson doesn't just do acupuncture but cupping, herb healing and about a million other things as well. Both gentlemen are intelligent, professional and exceptional at their jobs. The folks I see for pilates and massage change depending on what days I book but that's only because I work night and have a ridiculous schedule. (Shout out to the front desk team for making sure I make it to appointments and working with my near impossible schedule - Cindy, Linda, I'm looking at you two). Their massage personnel and pilates instructors are all wonderful. They report enjoying their work and the company they work for. If you couldn't tell, I have yet to have a negative experience at this establishment and I love every person I see there. If anyone has any questions I'd be happy to answer them from my personal experience. But I'd you're looking for somewhere to go for either body maintenance or a chronic or acute problem, I would recommend them confidently. read more

I had shoulder surgery 7 mths ago and am so grateful to have found Strive. I get physical therapy, massage therapy, acupuncture, and cupping at Strive. Fantastic staff, very friendly people. I feel great now! read more

This is the most amazing place!!! I came in because of some back pain and the chiropractor, acupuncturist, and massage therapists have been of huge help. I always see immediate improvement right after I'm done with the appointments. I could not be more grateful for finding Strive, it's seriously been a life-changer! read more

I am such a fan of Strive. I was recommended a massage therapist here (Samantha - she's a genius with bodies) and have also gotten physical therapy from one of their experienced PT people. They also offer chiropractor and acupuncture services. The space is clean and convenient and they have a small gym in the back for further PT sessions. The best part though is that my insurance pays for a limited number of sessions a year which is AMAZING. I think massage should be a part of all insurance coverage but it almost never is, and so finding Strive has kinda changed my life. read more

I found Strive through my friend Cindy, who also works there in the office. About a year ago, I injured myself, and ever since then, I did not fully recover. I was introduced to Dr. Deo who started my entire process of recommendations for the types of therapy I needed for my overall wellness. She introduced me to the physical Therapist Karine G. who is very knowledgable and helpful with her treatment and exercises that she has me doing daily. Every week, she provides one other exercise to continue doing with the old ones. I was also introduced to Dr.T (Vincent T) the chiropractor. He had a treatment plan to help with my lower back pain from sitting at a desk all day. He has also been guiding me with exercises to fix my posture and strengthening my core. Medical massage has also been very helpfully during all these treatments as it's helps with all the aches and pains. So far, I can feel the difference from when I first started up until this point. With everyone's treatment plan and me continuing to do my part, I feel like Strive will help me get to the point where I would like to be. The front desk staff are extremely friendly, welcoming, accommodating, and well organized. It's very easy to schedule an appointment. The facility is also very clean and safe. I highly recommend this place to everyone. read more

Strive Wellness is the most unprofessional and poorly managed faculties I have ever been to. They have one good chiropractor and they bait and switch you to an incompetent and medically dangerous chiropractor and when I complained about the medical standard and my refusal to see the grossly incompetent chiro, the owner Michael Moscati refused to make the necessary medical intervention to protect the health and safety of their patients. The staff is rude and unprofessional and they do not have sufficient Covid-19 protocols in place to be operating. They had a cloth sheet on the table which cannot be cleaned in between every appointment. DO NOT PATRONIZE THIS BUSINESS, it's a danger to the public and should be closed down. Strive has an incompetent chiropractor on staff and they are aware and continue to let the person see patients. You are lucky if all you get is no relief, but given the lack of competence I would not let that person manipulate any critical areas such as the neck. Clearly Mr. Moscati is seeking profit over patient care by hiring incompetent staff and the substantial turnover in staff is a strong indicator low pay/low quality churn. The PT staff is terrible, I recommend SPEAR nearby on 34th street. read more

This place is wonderful! I've always been the person that would say I'm going to go to a chiropractor but never followed through and would suffer in silence and deal with the pain. Now I go see Dr. T and I no longer have to deal with the pain. After my appointments I always leave with a sense of relief and feeling better than when I walked in. read more

I'm a nurse and have frequent lower back issues from long days of taking care of patients, and Dr. Moscati and his team really do an excellent job in taking care of me. He is the 4th chiropractor I've been cared by and he offers so many services that other chiropractic offices don't offer (like accupuncture, massage, Pilates, PT). I've been seeing Dr. Moscati at this location since he set up shop here a few years ago. I've referred all my friends to him and they all love his practice. Highly recommend to anyone looking for chiropractic care in the area!!! read more

I have been going to Strive Wellness for over 6 months & I can't say enough wonderful things about the practice! I was recommended by a friend to try acupuncture & wellness massage therapy during fertility treatments. From my very first visit Dr. Moscati explained what would be best for my health and all of the staff is professional & kind. I felt like they had my best interest on their mind & genuinely wanted to help me feel better & less stressed. I saw Johnson for acupuncture and it was a great experience. He was kind, professional & tried various methods throughout my treatment. It was my first time having acupuncture but he calmly walked me through the process each time and I felt cared for. I saw Amy for massage therapy & continue to see her now for prenatal massages. These have been a life changer. Amy is fabulous! She works my sore muscles & doesn't give up! She is professional & nice. Each session she asks what she can work on & always goes above and beyond. She knows how to help a pregnant woman! I can't recommend her enough! read more

Professional, calm and efficient. Today was my first time and I already booked an appointment for next week. Amy (massage therapist) is great. She made me feel comfortable and worked on the exact points I needed work on. She's strong and persistent. Dr. Tagliaferro (chiropractor). I liked him a lot. He asked a lot of questions, analyzed what needed to happen and then made it happen. I felt heard and cared for. I'm happy I have found a place that will allow me to take care of my body and invest in my future self. I'm looking forward to next time. read more

The people that work here really are the best of the best. Instead of just treating the patient, they take the time to teach you what's going on with your body and how to fix the issue long after your treatment sessions. Each person I've seen has taken the time to explain why the body does what it does and where your pain is coming from, they don't just diagnose, treat and send you on your way. Karine is the physical therapist that I see and I could not recommend her more. If you are a woman, she's the one you need to see. She has taught me so much and I genuinely enjoy my sessions with her. It's like going to spend time with a friend who makes you and your body feel better! I've had massage therapy by Samantha and Amy and they are both so smart and special. I love that they have different styles and are both so good at their jobs! The receptionists are fantastic, the chiropractors (Dr. Moscati and Dr. T) are NOT your typical chiropractors. They really take their time with you to get to the root of the issue, and then come up with a game plan to get you back on track. You can tell that every single person at this location LOVES what they do. I can not recommend them enough. Thank you for all you guys do! read more

My aunt had a phenomenal experience at strive total wellness - the front desk could not have been more accommodating to her needs when she was unsure of the services she needed. Thank you for making her feel welcome Claire, Jen, Cindy and Anna! read more

I found Strive Total Wellness after looking for a PT place that offered a host of services in addition to physical therapy. I liked that they offered Pilates, acupuncture, chiropractic, and massage therapy. It was close to my job, so I made an appointment and was really pleased with the treatment I was getting. Flash forward a year and a half later, and I'm still here despite not working in the same area anymore. I'm still there for one reason: my massage therapist, Samantha Goodwin. I come into the city on the weekends all the way from Flushing just to see her. She is hands down the best massage therapist I've ever had. How? She's the kind of therapist that is incredibly intuitive--if you don't like to talk during therapy, she won't make small talk. If you don't know what hurts because it all hurts, she is skilled enough to find the problem areas you didn't even know were bothering you. If you have a tender area, she doesn't keep prodding, she feels the tension in your body and stops. And the best thing, she has the most earthy, calm, healing, relaxed energy you will find in a therapist--EXACTLY everything you could ask for in a masseuse. She's gone to one of the best schools for massage therapy and continually finds ways to improve upon her skills. What I like most about her is her touch, it's firm and the pressure is always just right, all the while being gentle and soothing. She even got me through pregnancy and now onto postpartum...she can treat all sorts of conditions. It's worth a visit here just to book with her because she is a star in her own right. read more

What can I say about this clinic? Let me start by saying that "total wellness" is exactly what they are about. I found Strive through a good friend of mine at a moment when I was at an all-time low. My stress level was out of control, my anxiety through the roof and my poor dancer's body was a complete mess. I wish I was being dramatic but I was a wreck. Strive put me back together. If you're looking for a place that has it all, then you've found it. The staff are welcoming and great at their jobs not mention experts at addressing the issue and helping you feel better. I was in there twice a week before the pandemic. Thank You Strive! You Brought ME back to life. Also, they do everything! I mean everything! -Tiffany C. read more

I have been going to strive for over a year and I absolutely love it. The receptionists, the chiropractors, the acupuncturist, massage therapists, pilates instructors, physical therapists, and personal trainers are FANTASTIC. They are knowledgeable and willing to take their time to help you. I always walk out feeling like a brand new person. I highly recommend coming to strive! read more

Strive has become a part of my routine lifestyle! I've been a patient of Dr. Moscati for a few the past years since they first opened and I now feel like more of a club member! Cindy who is in charge of the front desk and all scheduling is incredibly sweet, hospitable and makes the most out of your visit! The trainers, chiropractors, massage therapists, acupuncturist are all extremely professional and genuinely care about your wellness! I am so grateful to all the staff at STRIVE for helping me be healthy :) read more

This place is the best. I went here for about a year before my insurance changed and it helps me so much. I was crushed when my insurance changed and I could no longer go. I miss everyone on the staff! They are incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and talented. I recommend this place to most people I talk to who are looking for a chiropractor, acupuncture, massage... etc! read more

I can't believe it took me this long to write a review. I absolutely love this place. I would come here everyday if my insurance let me. The staff is top notch and believe me I've been everywhere in the city. read more

Wonderful staff who actually care about you and aren't just trying to push you in and out the door. This place is a rare find and a true gem in the city: they run on time, the chiro and physical therapists are really knowledgeable and take their time with you, and the front desk is very accommodating. Can't say enough good things about Dr. Moscati and the staff at Strive! read more

I found Strive Total Wellness in a slight 911 with a herniated disc. I was paired with PT Rick who has been fantastic. He is extremely smart and definitely understands how to treat the pain I am having. All the exercises he has given me thus far have been helpful in alleviating my worst symptoms. If you are looking for someone invested in your recovery he's the guy! read more

Strive has helped me recover from knee pain through a combination of PT, Acupuncture, Graston technique, yoga, stretching -- basically everything. They took their time to listen to my issues and take a lot more time than typical offices. I seriously had knee pain for 5 years and I am now free of it. I also have the tools to prevent it from recurring. Dr. M is great. Highly recommended, really. read more

I discovered STRIVE through a friend a of mine. She had great things to say about this place, so I decided to give them a try. I've been seeing the nutritionist for quite some time now, and I have to say I am really happy with the progress. The entire atmosphere is great, from the time you walk through the door. I first met with Dr.Moscati for a consultation and then he introduced me to Lionel the nutritionist. I explained my concerns to him and he really took the time to go over the many options with me. My goal was to start eating healthy, as I was training for a race. He gave me a list of food and drinks that I can buy and make on my own, to help with energy levels and boost my metabolism. At first, it was difficult to adjust but I knew that I needed to do this. After a couple weeks of eating/drinking clean, I started to see and feel a difference. Overall, I am beyond happy with the results that I've been getting. STRIVE is great- easy to schedule, friendly staff. I would recommend them to just about anyone. read more

Came here for pregnancy massage and Amy is a true master of her craft. She really cares about what she does and it is a calling not just a job. Have never felt better. read more

Strive Total Wellness is great. The staff are very friendly, organized, and knowledgeable (and very patient with my lack of patience for getting back to exercise). I've been doing physical therapy weekly, including massage and kineseo taping, for the last few months for pre and post knee surgery. An added perk is also access to the gym Strive shares space with. Thanks Dr. Moscati! read more

Been a loyal client for almost a year (extremely thankful a friend of mine recommended Strive). I have nothing but good words to say about Dr. Moscati and staff. The level of service is amazing, very accommodating and very flexible with your schedule. They work with you on what is best for you. read more

I've been going to see Mike for over two years now. Amazing service. Great staff. Very professional. Very intelligent. Always on time. Overall, amazing experience. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Strive! I have been a patient for almost a year. Weekly chiropractic, acupuncture and massage therapy appointments have provided me tremendous pain and stress relief due to a variety of health issues. The entire Strive family works together to put their patients first and I truly feel they care about my overall health and wellness. I recommend their services to anyone seeking to improve their wellbeing. read more
