I was dealing with nagging knee and ankle pain that made it tough for me to continue running. Steve worked with me to come up with a comprehensive plan to get me back in running shape and - more importantly - was able to modify it as we went to troubleshoot and correct issues that came up. I'm happy to say that I am now running mostly pain free and have improved my overall physical fitness considerably! Highly recommend working with Dr. Steve.

Steve has my highest possible recommendation.I came to him with a really stubborn shoulder injury and he helped me diagnose the movement patterns that led to the injury, rebuild stability + strength from the ground up, and get me to the point where I was ready to resume normal activities (completely pain free) in ~2 months. Then we spent time working on other exercises (that I thought I knew how to do) and he helped me develop the intuition that I need to prevent future injuries.Steve is a fantastic listener and has a keen eye for form + biomechanics. He's able to listen to all of my complaints, synthesize them into a hypothesis, and then test my movements to confirm his suspicions. He's also can do massage + chiropractic adjustments to provide pain relief — which definitely came in handy quite a few times.I'm SO happy I made the choice to work with Steve. I'm completely pain free + and feeling much stronger than I was when I started and am more confident than ever that I'll be able to continue reaching for my fitness goals while staying healthy.

After 20 years of climbing, I know how critical it is to find a physical therapist who actually understands hand injuries and the sport. Steve took the time to thoroughly diagnose the issue, understand my goals, explain the recovery plan, and give me home exercises along with personalized advice to restructure my climbing sessions. He was focused on efficient recovery rather than booking excess appointments. Highly recommend him, though I hope I don't need to return anytime soon!

I can't recommend Steve enough~When I first came in dealing with a pulley injury, he didn't just treat the physical side — he genuinely took the time to understand my climbing mentality and where I was mentally with the injury. That kind of care made a huge difference in my recovery.He's also very accommodating~ I needed to reschedule and he made it easy. On top of all that, his knowledge is top-notch. You can tell he truly cares about his craft and stays on top of his field.If you're a climber or anyone dealing with a tricky injury, look no further. Highly recommend!

Had a great experience with Steve.When I came in for the first session, I had a finger joint injury from rock climbing for over year. Steve was very knowledgeable and provided climbing specific recovery exercises as well as tips on how to climb in a way to prevent future injuries.It was thanks to Steve's climbing specific treatment that other PTs couldn't provide that I was able to start climbing again!

Worked with Steve and he is outstanding. I came with several issues that were a result of various injuries from sports (climbing, running), repetitive use (computer), and improper techniques (dead lifts). He helped with all of them over the course of six sessions. Some, like golfer's elbow, were issues I've been trying to fix on my own for over a year. I especially like that he is a climber himself and really understands that sport.

DPT Steve has been one of the best experiences I’ve had. I’ve played sports for years and worked with many physical therapists, but Steve really stands out. He genuinely cares about his patients and does a great job following up. I would definitely return!

Steve has been amazing throughout this process! I feel much better every time I get PT from him. Highly recommend!

I've been struggling with a finger injury from climbing for nearly three few years. I thought I could figure it out on my own given how many online videos and resources there are these days. But nothing ultimately worked so I decided to meet up with Steve. He put together a specialized program for for me and explained that due to the mechanics of my hands and fingers, there were exercises and techniques I should avoid/incorporate. And after a few months and a couple more visits, my finger is basically completely better. Steve's awesome and I would highly recommend him to anyone with a climbing related injury!

Steve was awesome to work with! He completely moved the needle on my chronic shoulder injuries, and even when my goals shifted he helped me reach those too! A great PT for climbing injuries and in general.

Steve has been awesome! I highly recommend him. He's consistently managed to work backwards from my goals and help me work towards them, rather than give me generic recommendations.With most of my previous PTs, things felt pretty generic and I feel like I somehow always got the same standard recommendations (crab walks, glute bridges, neck stretches), regardless of what I was trying to improve.Steve actually has a very targeted approach. He starts by asking what my specific goals are and what success looks like, then we jump straight into the actual movements. Having access to a full gym makes a huge difference here!When I was dealing with trap and neck tightness during deadlifts, he watched my form, made a few small adjustments, and I noticed real improvement within just a couple of sessions. Same story with my shoulder issues.The focus is always on doing the movement, identifying what’s actually going wrong with experiments, and fixing the root cause.

I recently had to deal with a series of injuries that had me feeling a little hopeless that I'd be able to climb again any time soon and without surgery. Steve was great at talking me through my injuries and guiding me through recovery. It is amazing to have a PT that is actually involved in the sport (climbing). Now I am pretty much back to 100% thanks to the exercises and advice Steve has given me.

Steve both fixed my years long synovitis and improved my climbing. I have been to previous physical therapists and while their exercises were useful, having a PT who actually understands and digs deep into how I'm holding crimps, drags, and how my preferred style of climbing might be contributing to my issues is a world beyond. He identified that I tended to twist my wrist so that my pinky fit onto holds fully, which caused all my joints to get this weird diagonal pressure while crimping. I don't think many other professionals could have pointed that out, and I am so so grateful to Steve!!

10/5 STARS - After struggling with persistent TFCC wrist pain for over six months, I was starting to think surgery might be my only option. I had tried just about everything with no progress. That’s when I decided to see Steve—even though he’s an hour away in the city. It turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve made.From the very first session, Steve was incredibly knowledgeable, approachable, and thorough. He explained exactly what was going on, gave me practical tools I could use right away, and most importantly, I actually felt improvement after just one visit. Over time, the pain completely went away without needing surgery.Steve is absolutely worth the drive. If you’ve been stuck with an injury that just won’t heal, I can’t recommend him enough.

I worked with Steve about a year ago after being diagnosed with a posterior tibial tendinitis injury and went from running 60+ miles a week to having pain in my foot whenever I walked. Steve came in and approached the recovery process in a holistic way thinking not only of strengthening exercises for my foot/ankle but factored in my current lifestyle/past experience. We worked together to figure out a running plan that would slowly ramp me back up to my mileage and scheduled appointments at just the right cadence (didn't need to be too frequent). After each session, Steve would email some notes about the progress and what to focus on next. Over a few months I went from 10 miles/week back to 50+ and running comfortably with no pain. A year later and I PR'ed by 8 minutes in the marathon. Steve's approach was very collaborative, personalized, and holistic and I would recommend him to anyone looking to recover from an injury.

I recently completed a series of physical therapy sessions with Steve Kim to address a shoulder muscle tear, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. Over the course of ~six sessions, Steve not only helped reduce the pain in my shoulder but also uncovered a number of subtle ergonomic habits I had while working that were likely contributing to my shoulder and neck issues.As someone who strength trains regularly, I was initially worried that I’d be sidelined for a long time. Steve quickly eased those concerns by incorporating lifting-specific assessments and adjustments into our sessions, making sure I wasn’t aggravating my injury and could return to training safely. He paid close attention to my form, explained the reasoning behind each exercise, and gave me practical guidance I could apply both in the gym and at my desk.This was my first time working with a physical therapist, and Steve set the bar incredibly high. His knowledge, thoughtful approach, and ability to tailor treatment to my specific lifestyle made a real difference in my recovery. I highly recommend him to anyone dealing with an injury—especially if you want a PT who understands the demands of strength training and everyday movement habits.

Steve has been great. The quality of care I got for my shoulder injury has been top notch. He was able to unblock me mentally and also speed up my recovery through a combination of PT exercises/regiments. Great PT for anyone who is really into sports and body movements. As a regular climber myself, I couldn’t not recommend Steve more.

2025-08-05T23:01:35.168Z

I had really great results with Steve. Was able to drill down and figure out what my issues with my shoulder were, rehab and learned how to do exercises properly to not injure it in the future.

Dr Steve was a great resource in helping me to recover from a shoulder injury. He not only provided me with a plan to get out of pain and improve shoulder strength, but took the time to broaden my understanding of shoulder mechanics. As a climber, Dr Steve was able to provide sport specific advice for training and techniques to keep the shoulder strengthened and uninjured in the future. He’s personable and explains body mechanics in an easily understandable way. Highly recommend especially if you are dealing with a climbing related injury.
