FuncPhysio Physical Therapy 2 West 45th Street, Manhattan, New York,

"FuncPhysio / Dr Suga has been life changing for me. I had a chronic shoulder/trap injury that lasted nearly 4 years. I had tried 10+ practitioners (several PT, acupuncture, chiro, OMT, PRP shots) etc but Dr Suga was able to diagnose my underlying fasica pain. Was referred by HSS to Dr Suga after several PRP shots. He is one of the top practioners in the world. It's a surprising treatment, basically he uncovered tons of latent pain throughout my fascia that was preventing proper body function. Can't recommend Dr Suga more highly!!"

"I would highly recommend Dr Suga. My daughter had been struggling for years with hip and leg pain. She went to 3 different physical therapists over 2 years and the pain actually got worse. Fortunately, a doctor at HSS recommended Dr Suga and he worked with her over the course of a year, and she is now pain free!"

"I was referred to Dr Suga by HSS after many years of lingering pain after two PAO hip surgeries. I had been to over a dozen PTs and even some fascia therapists and was skeptical my hip flexor would ever get better. But within a few short months, I’m pain free! Every session I spontaneously exclaim “wow!!!” — the change happens so quickly. Dr Suga has a great sense of humor, and we are always laughing and chatting every session. He’s a wonderful person and working with him has been life changing. I recommend unequivocally"

"Dr. Suga gave me my life back. He is smart, a creative problem-solver, and patient. I was sent to Dr. Suga by my wonderful HSS Physiatrist Heidi Prather. I’m a PAO patient with hEDS; I’ve been through several surgeries. When I started seeing Dr. Suga, I had been in pain for 8 years, and he was the 13th or 14th PT I had seen for my conditions. I basically told him he could have a shot and that I wished him luck, but I didn’t expect to get better at this point. Well to my surprise, my pain level has gone from a 5/6 to a 2, and I’m doing things I never thought I would be able to do again. I’m up to ten minutes on the elliptical, I can wear jeans, I’m able to do the dishes and help around the house - all things I thought were in my past. We have family in Montauk, and my daughter has consistently asked to go to the lighthouse over the years. I’ve always had to say no because it is a very steep hill to walk up, but last week she asked me, and I said yes. When we got up to the lighthouse, she asked to climb the 150 steps to the top. I said not today but maybe next time, and I meant it. Thank you, Dr. Suga for changing my family’s future. So much feels possible now."

"Dr. Kohei Suga is absolutely the very best therapist I could possibly meet. His finest approach to patients started prior to an in-person meeting - ahead of the very first appointment, I received from him and responded to very detailed queries on my current conditions, medical history and other traits as a patient. When I saw Dr. Suga in his office, I found that he did take time to absorb all the information I had provided, and made himself ready to meet me with in-depth understanding of my distinctive contexts. Based on the responses to the pre-appointment queries, on top of his most extensive knowledge and clinical experience, Dr. Suga swiftly got to the bottom of the multiple symptoms I had had then, including sharp pain around the ribcage, numbness of the right hand and stiffness of the backbone. These symptoms deprived me of an ability to sustain full-fledged performance as a professional cook as well as yoga instructor, and of my confidence in staying on my career track. Dr. Suga, during each of his one-hour, one-on-one sessions with me, squarely paid close attention to my symptoms and conditions, including the slightest changes, and carefully aligned his approach from his widest set of skills, ranging from manual therapy to perceptual explanation, so that I could make steady, irreversible progress on my recovery. In two months of the top-notch level of his treatment, not only did I manage to fully recover from the symptoms (despite earlier prognoses from other doctors that I might carry with myself these symptoms for the rest of my life), but also I found myself more resilient, advanced in my skills and confident than before. I would like to convey to Dr. Suga my deepest gratitude for having revived my life!"
