What is aerobic fitness and how do we measure it? How does New York stress affect you? How much activity do we need to counteract our stress? What can you do now to manage stress and get more fit at the same time? I had a delightful interview with my guest, colleague and friend, Steve Horney, Physical Therapist, Strength and Conditioning Coach and Manual Therapist and owner of Integrated Physical Therapy. We discuss Steve’s career and development, his Buddhist-like philosophy, being “human” and the relationship between aerobic fitness and stress. ______________________

Steve Horney graduated from Quinnipiac University's top-ranked accelerated Masters program and began his clinical practice in 2005. For the last 13 years, he’s prided himself on combining extensive physical therapy knowledge with his own experiences as an athlete to effectively treat his patients. Steve has been seen on CBS Newspath, and specializes in the assessment and treatment of athletes with the ultimate goal of helping them become pain free and less susceptible to injury in the future. He works with each of his patients one-on-one to help them understand the root cause of their pain. In his professional life, Steve worked with some of the top physical therapists in the city and managed one of New York's premiere physical therapy clinics before starting iPT.
He has also completed his Manual Therapy Certification, a 2 year matriculating program from the University of St. Augustine, studying Manual Therapy with world-renowned Stanley Paris PT PhD to develop his healing hands. In order to help the athletic population perform better, Steve became a certified strength and conditioning specialist (CSCS) from National Strength & Conditioning Association specializing in exercise physiology for athletes in high school to professional level and recently went on to complete his Hardstyle Kettlebell Certification.
