FuncPhysio Physical Therapy

Fantastic experience: I'm calling Mr.Suga's god hand. I have spondylolithesis and have some pain in my back and right leg constantly. Mr. Suga always reduce my pain and helped me a lot with his knowledge and professionalism. Highly recommended. I definitely need to go back again soon.

Fantastic experience: When I first saw Dr. Suga, I had a severe limp and needed crutches or a cane even to walk very short distances, due to extreme hip pain. I couldn't sit, stand or walk for longer than a few minutes. I was essentially on bed rest and thought my quality of life would never be the same. I had already had two surgeries for my diagnosed hip dysplasia (one PAO, one screw removal) and was scheduled to have my psoas completely cut in a desperate attempt to help with my pain. Dr. Suga changed everything. He taught me about the impact of chronic pain on the brain, and how to retrain my thoughts. He worked on my extreme fascia tightness and gave me realistic exercises I could do at home in the interim. Within one month, my pain had started to reduce slightly, by six months I was able to stop walking with a cane and go to yoga and pilates classes, walk to work and sit or stand for however long life required. Dr. Suga GAVE ME MY LIFE BACK! He saved me from a life of disability and 10/10 level pain. I couldn't be more thankful. If you're nervous or unsure of his methodologies, trust the process, work hard at the exercises he gives you and be patient. If your experience is anything like mine, you will get your life back.

Fantastic experience: 山並絵美先生に助けていただきました！ありがとうございました。 私は2021年の春頃から、フローズンショルダーで左肩が自由に動かせなくなり、それが原因からか次第に肘や手首まで痛みが広がり、日常生活にも支障が出てしまいました。そんな時、とあるSNSのコミュティでエミ先生と出会い、2021年の夏にエミ先生を尋ねました。とても丁寧なカウンセリングと熟知されたテクニックで、初回の施術でなんと肩の可動域がかなり広がり楽になりました。エミ先生は、経験や知識が豊富なだけでなくとても勉強熱心なので、安心してお願いできました。また、私の辛さにも寄り添ってくださり、精神面でも支えていただきました。お陰様で今では嘘のように回復し、上がらなかった腕が以前のように自由に動かせるようになりました。フローズンショルダーが回復したお陰で、ずっとやりたかったキックボクシングのエクササイズもできるようになり毎日が楽しいです。func physioの先生方はとても優秀な先生ばかりですので、どの先生に診ていただいても間違いないと思いますが、私がお世話になっているエミ先生は知識、経験、技術、そして丁寧なカウンセリングと、本当に素晴らしい先生なのでリコメンドします！エミ先生、これからもよろしくお願いします。

Fantastic experience: Although I had remarkably successful back surgery over 20 years ago, my central core was weak from the prior injuries. Then about 8 months ago, I was threw out my back while working in my yard. I had extreme pain, leg drop; daytime activity was cumbersome at best and I could not sleep comfortably. Knowing the symptoms, I assumed I would require neurosurgery again. The surgeon recommended physical therapy as a first step. Prior experiences with PT made me skeptical. What I have received from Emi was informative and proactive. I have had chronic back problems for 24 years, with disks impeding on my spinal cord. The treatment I received with Emi gave me an understanding my weaknesses and how I could overcome them. In other words, Emi explained what I had to do and why. Within about ten weeks of a supervised therapy and exercise program, my pain and stiffness are gone. I am now using the Conditioning Program to continue building overall core strength and cardio. Emi analyzed my needs and helped me understand that with the proper guidance, I am stronger, active and have mobility that I thought I lost twenty years ago.

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a physical therapist who loves to take care of your pain and explains you root causes of pain, FuncPhysio is the right place to go. My assigned therapist is Dr. Emi, and she explained the reasons of my chronic neck pain and headache right after her exam and taught me unique exercises to fix my posture that I have never found out by youtube. I had been having this pain over decade, but I practice this exercise daily at home, and I realize some improvement just after a week :) I also come here for my body maintenance after each chemotherapy to prevent significant weight loss, and so far so good! Reception ladies are always kind and warm welcome. They don’t take much insurance, but definitely it’s worth to go to keep you healthy without any medication.

Fantastic experience: 大変助かりました

Fantastic experience: Went to see Dr. Yohei Takada for some PRI treatment and made some tremendous strides in how I felt. Years of feeling aches and difficulty in breathing was eased just from the first session. The benefits continued accumulating from each additional session. The staff there is also very helpful and accommodating.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended. It is a completely private session with a physical therapist (unlike other physical therapy places). The pain on my leg was drastically reduced after my first session and after three weekly sessions, I feel much better and feel improvement.

Fantastic experience: I was referred to FuncPhysio to help alleviate severe pain and numbness in my hands, legs and feet due to herniated discs in my L4 & L5. Skeptically, I went, however my previous years of past PT experiences always left me disappointed. This time it was different. Dr. Emi Yamanami was assigned to my case when I arrived, and looking back that was a very lucky day for me! Dr. Emi has a great understanding of the body and knows exactly how to alleviate any symptom you are experiencing for instant relief, while explaining how the anatomy works and practical things you can do at home to help strengthen and restore in between sessions. What physiatrist told me might take a year to accomplish, I am ecstatic to share that after short months of sessions with Dr. Emi I am pain free and starting to run again! If you are in need of physical therapy, I recommend you go see Dr. Emi and the FuncPhysio team right away!

Fantastic experience: Emi was recommended to me by a friend after I tried several sessions of unsuccessful traditional physical therapy for my hip joint problem. The fact that a whole hour is spent one on one with a patient was unusual to any other PT I previously had. During my first session, Emi’s assessment was very thorough and interesting. Her knowledge and insight was impressive. She saw details in my posture that no one had mentioned before. Her manual treatment and the progressively challenging exercises she gave me were very quickly beneficial. She was able to identify various issues that I previously thought unconnected to my hip. Sometimes she worked on some of these issues such as my neck and shoulder. When I first saw Emi I could not walk for more than 10 minutes without pain. Now I am almost ready to get back to hiking. I should also mention that her personality and warmth are adding to our sessions. I already recommended Emi to a suffering friend who had the same experience as mine.

Fantastic experience: I experienced a serious neck pain for about a month and a half. It started out of nowhere. I just had it one day when I woke up. I didn't take it seriously at that time, I thought I had slept unwell. Then it lasted for weeks. I took Advil for days praying it would make the pain disappear. Bought a neck pillow, hot pad for neck, etc. Unfortunately, they didn’t work that well. Then I saw Dr.Kohei Suga. He listened carefully to what I was going through. I felt comfortable when he checked my body. Nothing painful or crackling. He said the problem is not the neck but the shoulder and my upper back. He gave me some massage, then I could feel so much less pain on my neck right after. It came back after a while as he mentioned that the tense had been accumulated so it might take some time to fully recover. But I’m so glad that I finally know the main cause. Hopefully I can manage it well so that I can feel no pain in my neck soon. If you’re going through a neck pain, then I highly recommend Dr. Kohei Suga!

Fantastic experience: 膝を痛め、高田先生に大変お世話になっています。 今まで、どちらの病院で診ていただいても、何度リハビリに通っても、全く改善しなかった痛みが、高田先生に施術していただいてすぐに、嘘のようになくなりました。 高田先生は、その痛みの根本がどこにあるのか、身体全体を診ながら、膨大な知識と経験から、痛みの原因を詳しく丁寧に説明をして下さり、自分の身体の癖などもよく知ることができました。 もちろん、個人個人の方の症状で回復する回数などは変わるかと思いますが、本当に高田先生にお会いできたことに、心から感謝しています。 こちらのクリニックは、高田先生をはじめ、どのスタッフの方も、いつも大変優しく、患者に寄り添って下さりとても素晴らしいです！

Fantastic experience: I strongly recommend Dr. Kohei Suga to anyone who is suffering from “carpal tunnel” issues or similar nerve issues. I saw Dr. Suga for pain, numbness, and muscle weakness in my dominant hand that started 2 months ago. MD only gave me a diagnosis, "carpal tunnel syndrome" and suggested I see a neurologist. Because I should be handy to operate equipment for my job task, I am very serious about my issues and decided to have "myofascial treatment" that Dr. Suga is very skillful at. He was meticulous both with exam and treatment and found target areas to be treated. Just after the first session, I already found my finger moved better and stronger with less pain in my wrist. I am very happy with the result and will return to have a couple of more sessions to get better and to prevent recurrent pain.

Fantastic experience: The quality of care I have received at FuncPhysio has been nothing short of life-changing. A shoutout in particular to Dr. Kohei Suga, who is phenomenal and thinks outside the box. I came to FuncPhysio with a scary diagnosis and excruciating pain in my lower back and hip, afraid that my active life as I knew it was over. That was three short months ago. I am now pain free and able to manage my condition with a few simple but powerful exercises that Dr. Suga has taught me. He spends a full hour with the patient and gives you his undivided attention. I call him my miracle worker. Very highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Suga is incredibly knowledgeable. I had been in constant pain for years- sleeping, sitting, standing, moving. I saw many different doctors and PTs, massages, injections, but no improvement. I was referred to Dr. Suga by Dr. Prather in HSS. They work together and I know I am on my way to be pain free again. They also treated my daughter who has shoulder problems and rib pain due to swimming practices. All doctors in NYU, Weill Cornell, HSS, those so-called pediatric experts failed my daughter. In one visit, Dr Prather knew there are problems around her shoulders and ribs. If you have unexplained pain for years, it’s going to take some times to solve, just like peeling an onion. Don’t give up. Keep talking to Dr. Suga and Dr. Prather. They are the best.

Fantastic experience: I had problems with my inner ear, jaw, and cervical spine due to very strong stress, and the effects spread throughout my body. My whole body was swollen and I couldn't breathe, but no one helped me. Dr. Takada calmly examined my body and identified all the pains in various places that no one could understand. And when the treatment started, my swelling began to disappear, my breathing improved, and I was confident that I could regain the health I had given up. I quickly realized that Dr. Takada had deep knowledge and natural talent, and had reliable treatment techniques. Especially when he explained that teeth are importantly involved in body strain and started treatment in collaboration with a dentist. I realized without exaggeration that he was a great physiotherapist. I regained my health quickly and steadily with his treatment. He is truly my lifesaver. The office is comfortable and the staff are very kind.

Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Emi for over 3 months now - she healed my neck and lower back pain in one session and I've been going back every week to make sure the pain does not come back. She's very thorough and explains everything in a simple way. I also bring my parents to see her every time they visit NYC - I highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Yamanami先生に内臓の治療をしていただきました。とてもわかりやすく、丁寧に説明してくださいました。治療後、会食があったのですが、翌朝普段であれば少し胃もたれをするところ、それが全くなく、驚くほどすっきりと起きることができました。ありがとうございました。

Fantastic experience: Attentive, caring and clean! One of best physical therapy clinics in NYC. 親切、丁寧、知識と経験が豊富な先生方が揃っているマンハッタンにあるクリニック。おすすめです。

Fantastic experience: I had severe sudden back pain. Strong painkillers didn’t help. Acupuncture made it worse. One session with Yoshi pretty much took care of it. After that, he worked on issues with my walking standing and sitting. I believe these changes will add years if not decades of quality to my life.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Sharma was an amazingly skillful PT. I feel very lucky to have been able to have her help. I would without a doubt refer her to anyone who is suffering from any type of pelvic pain or related issue.

Fantastic experience: 長時間飛行を繰り返してるうちに、腰から膝にかけて痛みや痺れが起き、立つことも眠ることも出来なくなりました。高田先生のクリニックに駆けつけ、施術を受け、回数を増すごとにどんどん回復し、1ヶ月半ほどで元通りの生活が出来るようになりました。 自宅で出来る体操や、長年の習慣や姿勢についてもご指摘、ご指導していただき、有り難く思っています。

Fantastic experience: ここの山並先生は素晴らしいです。お人柄、技術共に完璧です。

Fantastic experience: I had been dealing with pelvic pain and a variety of issues for over a year before I found FuncPhysio. I worked with Nidhi who was nothing short of a miracle. I can't recommend her enough!

Fantastic experience: I worked with Dr. Sharma and had a very good experience. I had previously, been to to one other pelvic floor specialist and two other PTs for back pain after giving birth. All of them tried to limit my activity rather that actually manage the problem. Dr. Sharma quickly figured out the issue and I am back doing what I love rather than being miserable and limited. My only regret is I didn’t go to her sooner.

Fantastic experience: Amazing Hands On Therapy

Fantastic experience: Recommend Spencer! It's been almost a month since I got first treatment at this place, and my back has got so much better! Atmosphere is nice, good staff.

Fantastic experience: Yoshi is by far more incisive and forthcoming with details about what he sees and is doing than any of the many, many other physical therapists I've been to over the years. He seems to work magic. Can't say enough positive things about him.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Nidhi! I saw her for my carpal tunnel syndrome and she was able to quickly evaluate the root cause. She suggested posture changes and exercises that I could do on my own, in addition to treating me a couple times that drastically helped with the pain and numbness. She listens to you, is thoughtful and clearly an expert. You wont be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Can't recommend Nidhi and Yoshi more highly for both pelvic and visceral manipulation therapy respectively. I've been seeing them both for the past 6 months after a very painful Stage 4 endometriosis surgery. I'm in significantly less pain now thanks to these two.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Func Physio on and off for years now. I cannot recommend them highly enough. They take a holistic approach to the body. At other physical therapy centers, I have had physical therapists who were working on multiple patients at the same time and really myopic about the treatment they were provided. Yohei and his team are extremely knowledgeable and devoted to your care, and also just lovely people. I tell all my friends and colleagues to use them!

Fantastic experience: Great physical therapy! I recommend Spencer. Attentive and thorough staff and comfortable, well-equipped facility.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic and Satisfying Services. Doctors were very professional and knowledgeable.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Takada has magic hands. He is the best PT ever.
