Nothing but good things to say about Kineci Health & Movement! Staff is extremely knowledgeable and compassionate, and they will give you the tools you need to get back to doing what you love. Not to mention the fact that here you have one on one appointments with a physical therapist, which is typically not the case.

During COVID-19 I had weekly virtual PT sessions with Dr.Steve to keep me moving and improve motion in my shoulders.
Dr. Steve led me through an hour of exercises and stretching and it really helped me.
Looking forward to visiting the center for in person sessions.
Dr. Steve is a great PT and his knowledge of the body is amazing.Highly recommend Kineci.

Dr. Steve is a great PT. He is kind, knowledgeable and very focused on his patients. After fracturing 2 vertebrae in my back, I wasn't sure I would ever be able to return to my prior active lifestyle. After working with Dr. Steve, I feel stronger than ever and I'm back to all my normal activities and actually feel stronger than before without any surgery. He has treated a number of injuries since my initial back injury, and I found him to be as skillful with those as he was with my back. I could not recommend him more highly!

You want Dr. Steve on your side! He's a PT geek in the best way -- doctorate and two post-doc fellowships, hands-on treatment, take-home exercises with no special equipment to maintain your progress, personable, good listener, whole body approach. Helped me immensely!

Steve provides hands on therapy as well as exercises to help restore movement in problem areas.
I sustained an injury to my neck that was
impeding routine activities. With the treatments I received at Kineci, I am able to
move with much more ease. The exercises Steve taught me always improve my range of motion and comfort level.
I highly recommend Kineci. Steve has studied and practiced for years. He is a great physical therapist. You will receive effective treatment in a lovely environment.

I consider myself very lucky to have found Steve this year. I came to physical therapy somewhat apathetic about my pain because I didn't trust that anything could change. Steve met me exactly where I was with perfect guidance and professional help. Not only did my pain and mobility improve, but I was also able to use our sessions as a time to settle into myself and confront my body/pain/grief. I'm honored to have worked on my healing with Steve's knowledge, intuition, and support. I went (specifically for TMJ dysfunction and a spinal fusion that limits my neck mobility) a year and multiple physical

My experience with Dr. Steve was phenomenal. I had a full ACL reconstruction after a soccer injury, and the recovery could not have gone better. Dr. Steve not only owns the business, but he does all the work himself personally, which is fantastic. His holistic approach using whole body, natural movement techniques feels right. After the 8 week rehab program I feel well equipped with all the right exercises to continue to move towards a full recovery and eventually back to playing soccer and other intense sports.
He provides videos for the key exercises so you can reference at home, which is super

I feel very fortunate to work with Dr. Steve Politis. He is the most knowledgeable, intuitive and resourceful physical therapist that I have worked with in the Santa Barbara area. His whole body knowledge and practical approach the body's healing processes has helped me in my recovery from a Total Ankle Replacement.

Steve is terrific. His positive attitude and his strong and gentle presence make all the difference. Steve is extremely knowledgeable about the body and the relationship of one part to another. I trust him to help me when I have a problem.
