Testimonial

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.

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。

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.

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.

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！

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。

Dr Suga changed my life. When I first came to him, I had little hope that I would ever be able to walk pain free again. I’ve seen him for 2 months and I’ve already seen significant improvements. I went from barely walking a mile a day to being able to do 6 miles. He is the real deal and I would put all my trust into him. Prior to meeting Dr Suga, I had seen over 15 different Pts, doctors and physicians and I never saw any results until him. His office staff are very friendly as well. I thought I would have to get a third surgery to fix my pain and I’m so glad I didn’t go that route thanks to Dr. Suga. If you want to change your life, make an appointment.

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!

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.
