  • Sebastian Radloff

Amazing, unlike any other Physical Therapy. I had issues with feeling sports ready after my second ACL reconstruction. I've seen several physical therapists that all had the same cookie cutter approach. They look at my knee and simply think about the strengthening my quads, hamstrings, and glutes. They ignored the pain I was feeling in my back and hip. The people at Physis listened to my pain, asked questions about my ACL injuries and any other previous injuries. They noticed several imbalances that could be contributing to my back and hip pain. Over the last three months, I've been working with Sunny on fixing these subconcious patterns I have with sitting, standing, and walking which further contribute to my pain. He focuses on the pain I have that day while still holding in the higher level goal of getting me sports ready. My hip and back pain have completely resolved and I'm back to playing limited 2v2 basketball, while we continue working on my stability. The facility is pretty big for Manhattan. They have multiple private rooms and a good space for exercises that require floor space. The equipment, patient rooms, and restrooms are pretty clean. The staff is always friendly and their hours are flexible. It's one of the few places I could find for appointments before 9 am. Overall, I highly recommend Physis to anyone recovering from a sports injury, major surgery, or experiencing a type of chronic pain. The wholistic approach for spotting imbalances and compensation mechanisms that I have is what has made me pain free.

Dr. Sunny Pandya has helped me tremendously over the past 4+ years. My story--early 2015 I started experiencing significant pain and clicking in my hips. I was 28 years old, a former athlete, and found myself limping around with an unfortunate diagnosis of FAI (Femoral Acetabular Impingement) with bilateral torn labrums. After seeing 3 hip specialists and failing 4 different PT practices, surgery was the likely next step. One doctor at HSS literally said, "what did you do to deserve hips like these?!?...when would you like to schedule surgery?" I decided to give one final attempt at PT and tried a session with Sunny. One session turned into two, two into three, and after about 10 sessions I knew that I would not be going under the knife anytime soon! Sunny's techniques were DIFFERENT from those I had experienced anywhere else--"DNS" (Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization) and "Vojta" proved to be extremely helpful for me! Through 1-on-1 sessions maneuvering my body in different positions, applying body weight, increasing range of motion, and correcting misalignment issues I just kept improving. Gradually the force of compression in my hips started to diminish, my movement patterns became better, and I was able to get my active lifestyle back. Whether you are struggling with an acute injury, trying to relieve chronic pain, or considering surgery you owe it to yourself to try a few sessions with Dr. Pandya. You will not be disappointed.

  • Bruce Cohen

25 years ago I had a major back problems and after 6 months it resolved; however I was left with numbness in toes on both feet. This summer I had a problem with a different part of my back and had scheduled surgery but it was a last resort. I was referred to Dr. Sunny by a good friend who described him and his wife as miracle workers and they are very conveniently located in Midtown. THEY ARE MIRACLE WORKERS After a few sessions the pain lessened and then went away as did 25 years of tingling and numbness in my toes. My posture improved and continues to do so with each session and I finally feel grounded and my lower body has gotten so much stronger. My balance has improved as well. I am slowly progressing towards golfing and other sports activities and have been educated and have received guidance for what activities and exercises to avoid which was very beneficial. My treatment has benefited my entire whole body rather than just treating my back. I never wait when I show up for my appointment, it is clean in the office and I consider these people new friends and am so appreciate what they have done for me.

  • Jona Pineda

Got a full diagnosis and then I got a load of practical recommendations I can actually implement. Earlier this week, I went in with an unfamiliar lower back pain, that had me concerned as I’ve never felt that type of pain before. The staff was very welcoming and willing to listen to what I was feeling and how it happened. After learning a bit about my story they went into a full diagnosis to ensure there was no additional issues connected to my injury. It turned out that I had a sprained muscle on my lower back, which made me feel at ease, as it is not as severe as I initially thought. They gave me the most thorough treatment and a list of useful recommendations to recover properly. It’s only been 3 days, I’ve been following the recommendations and I am confident in my recovery, I’m already feeling 1000% better! Thank you Physis, you’re all amazing, the best physical rehabilitation in New York.

  • A M

This is my first experience with a physical therapist and to be honest I was very skeptical that it would help my sprained ankle. I assumed they would just tell me a number of exercises I could learn online, but since my ankle hasn't gotten any better since being sprained over 5 months ago, I decided to get it checked out, and I found Dr. Sunnykumar via zocdoc. From the first session, he pinpointed the issue and explained in very technical but clear and understandable terms, about how it was basically healing wrong this whole time and how an issue with one part of the body affects the other. After a few sessions, my ankle is feeling loads better, and I'm so much more optimistic about it being healed for good, especially considering my history of ankle sprains. I'm so glad with the treatment so far and I'm excited to continue my path to recovery with this practice!

  • Melisa Bonetti

Sunny is a one of a kind physical therapist. He uses several different approaches depending on what meets your specific needs. We are actively working on my recovery as I am a pretty intense case but I am now able to do things that I wasn’t able to do before working with him such as- any stairs with my left leg, not kneeling on my knees, hardly leaning from one side to another, not being able to walk on sand, etc.. the list is enormous. My legs are more severe so we are still improving on those but my ankle pain which was preventing me from doing much of anything for over a year is pretty much gone. I also had back pain and wrist pain which he almost magically fixed in very few sessions. He is also very kind and caring which is very helpful for recovering from an injury. No matter your situation you will leave with a positive outlook and definitely stronger!

  • Divya Bhasin

I went through the first surgery of my life for my acl under the care of Sunny who helped in my pre op and post op physical therapy. It has helped me immensely both mentally and physically. I walk out of each appointment with the feeling that “I’m in good hands”. I’m learning from him more about my body so as I have a greater understanding, I have more empathy for what my body is going through rather than getting frustrated. He’s incredibly encouraging (awesome to have your own cheerleader) and is constantly evaluating and adapting your exercises to fit you and your progress so it’s not following some general list each time enabling you to see and feel the progress. Despite going through an intense recovery, I look forward to physical therapy. Thank you Sunny!! (Also doing acupuncture and it has supported my recovery, including back/shoulder pain I have)

  • Satesh Seonarain

Sonny and Priyanka are amazing! First of all, the facilities are incredibly clean and functional. In addition, they offer an in-house chiropractor and acupuncturist that allow the patient to receive a holistic treatment which will speed up recovery. When I first showed up at Physis, I was suffering from inexplicable pain across my mid back and all the way down to lower back. I could no longer walk properly, much less engage in most physical activities without immense pain. I spent many sleepless nights before meeting with Sonny. During the first visit, he was able to effectively diagnose my herniated discs that had caused imbalances across my entire spine. Within 4-6 visits, I experienced a significant reduction in pain and was finally able to sleep at night again. I’m currently still being treated here so I can guarantee you’ll be in exceptional hands.

  • Melissa Vogel

Had an amazing experience at Physis Physical Therapy! I sprained my ankle badly four years ago and it has never been the same since. I have pain in the ankle from time to time and am always afraid that it’s going to get sprained again. It got to the point that I couldn’t do the things that I loved (running and being active). I made an appointment with Sunny and his team at Physis Physical Therapy last year. I’ve been coming in regularly and every time I come in I’m doing a new set of exercises that will strengthen my ankle. It’s easy to see that Sunny truly cares about his patients well-being. I feel the same mindset with the other therapists as well. I am already seeing improvement and feel like myself again. I should be able to get back to running and doing all the things I love in no time. I can’t recommend their staff enough!

  • Nataliia Makarovskiy

There are not enough 5 stars to evaluate the work of unique specialists, doctors of physiotherapists Dr. Sunny Pandya & Dr. Priyanka Dave. Physis Physical Therapy is a very professional place with top notch professionals. I can write this with confidence, as I had a lot of experience in finding good specialists and treating with physiotherapists in Europe and America. Very attentive work and diagnosing problems with patients. An individual approach is based on working with patients, which cannot be done independently. After each session, Sunny & Priyanka provide exercises that you can do at home on your own every day. And, of course, great results! I highly recommend to anyone who has problems with their back, musculoskeletal system and is just tired of aching pains to get an appointment with Sunny or Priyanka.

  • Bert Petersen

Sunny and Physis Physical Therapy represent the best of physical therapy services in NY. I came to Sunny having lost strength and mobility in my right shoulder due to a significant injury. As a surgeon, I would suffer severe pain after a day in the OR. I came to Sunny to improve my strength and mobility prior to having shoulder surgery. Sunny had different plans for me. Sunny expressed to me that his goal was to improve my condition such that the surgery would be unnecessary. I still can not believe that I am now able to raise my arm without crippling pain and debilitating discomfort. For the first time in years I am able to place my right arm behind my back. I am headed towards a non-surgical repair of a significant injury. I am forever grateful for being referred to Sunny and Physis Physical Therapy

  • Justin Mazur

I've had a chronic neck issue requiring cervical spine repair and I'm left with chronic pain. I must do stretches several times a week or I'll have pain. Thus, I've been to many PT's and as a physician myself I've worked with quiet a few. I can confidently Sunny is the best that I have worked with. His comprehensive approach and extensive understanding of the musculoskeletal system is outstanding. The sessions are extremely thorough and appropriately applied directly to the problem. The exercises/stretches that I've been given are helpful in building more resilience to prevent further injury and/or further surgeries. Also, Sunny is a high energy guy and gets quite a bit done during each session, so it kinda feels like a session and a half. I give my highest recommendation to this place.

  • Atrey Kansara

Physis Rehab is simply the best!!! Dr. Pandya’s excellent experience; detailed assessment and tailored treatment plan to help with my Knee pain, was just overwhelmingly impressive. Also, Dr. Pandya educated me to correct my posture to prevent further injury. Dr. Pandya paid attention to detail, patiently listened to my knee pain concerns. His one on one approach was comforting. I never felt rushed through any of my appointments. Physis’s scheduling is second to none, with friendly and professional staff, clean environment, personnel hygiene; they clean and sanitize all the equipments thoroughly after each use. Very conveniently located, just 3-5 min walk from Grand Central terminal. I highly recommend Physis for their evolved Physical Therapy practice.

  • Tejas Sachani

My friend recommended Physisrehab, I was in pain of neck muscle pulled by wrong movement. I thought he will do some cold pack massage and I will feel better(through my previous experience with other PT). Great thing about Dr. Sunny is he doesn’t do any massage to give you quick relief and then the problem reoccurred. He examined your movement that you do during your normal activity and then treat the root cause so that your movement and you mobility improve. I was all ok without any single pain medication for my neck pain not only that my movement of hand and shoulder improved. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr. Sunny for PT. He is knowledgeable and has very good experience. I have clinical background, so I can tell that he know what he is doing.

  • Abby Bringthebody

My experience at Physis was excellent from beginning to end. The space itself is very clean and well maintained. Sunny greeted me immediately and made me feel very comfortable. I am currently being treated for neuromas in my right foot. Sunny carefully explored my foot and did manual manipulation. Although that is not super fun, it was effective! In addition, he checked for compensation patterns in the rest of my body. Sunny explained that shock wave therapy could get me pain free of my neuromas. I am extremely impressed with his courtesy and professionalism. He is clearly knowledgeable and has the state of the art equipment that will help people live more painlessly. I would highly recommend Physis and I will be back!

  • pallavi

Working with Sunny has been one of the most empowering PT experiences I have had. Sunny is highly skilled and caring practitioner who goes above and beyond to give a very tailored and personalized PT sessions. Sunny literally introduced me to my Core. I thought I was fit before but now I feel strong and confident in my own body's ability to hold, support and care for me, whether I am running, hiking or sitting at my desk! Building my core stability with Sunny over a year has been a gift that will will last my lifetime. I am very grateful to have had the good fortune to work with Sunny and would highly recommend his practice to anyone looking for personalized PT care and to transform their body from inside out.

  • Chamandeep Kaur

I've been working with Sunny and Justin for about 6 weeks now on chronic neck and shoulder pain that I have been dealing with for the last 7 months. I was previously seeing another PT for 3 months and have made more progress with Sunny in 6 weeks than in my prior 3 months elsewhere. Sunny works both in manual therapies as well as exercise therapy to get you stronger again - I've already noticed changes in my posture. He really takes a whole body approach to understand where your pain is coming from and how to address it. I appreciate the 1:1 attention and how invested Sunny is in getting me healthy again. Really friendly office and highly recommend coming here if you're looking for a good physical therapist!!

  • Pete Gourri

There isn't enough space in this review to express how very grateful I am to Physis Physical Therapy, especially my PT, Sunny Pandya, and acupuncturist Robert Branch. A car collision in March 2021 has left me with continuing injuries. Still, both Sunny, with his crafted hands and expertise, and Robert, with his tremendous knowledge of acupuncture, helped to alleviate some of the pain as well as increase mobility. I relocated to another state and knew I could not find other specialists of their caliber and experience. Without hesitation, I recommend them both and hope I will be able to see them from time to time on my visits to NYC. They are simply the best, better than all the rest.

  • Ash R

I came to Sunny a few weeks with shoulder pain and have found relief from pain. This has had a positive impact of my quality of life. He works in a unique way in that he identifies the default locally but directs the body systemically to heal creating new neuron pathways so that you actually heal and get stronger in the correct manner. The exercises and manipulation performed so far has meant I'm off pain medications, can sleep and use my arm and right side of my body. Dr Sunny Pandya is very motivating and knowledgable- best in his field. The clinic is in an accessible location, very clean with a bright and a well kitted out gym. I look forward to introducing friends to this place.

  • Allison

Dr. Sunny approaches the body as a whole and that has made all the difference in my recovery. This isn’t a typical facility where a therapist gives you some exercises to address one area of the body, and then walks away to another patient. Patients at Physis PT have their entire session with the therapist and learn how addressing different areas of the body help to heal the pain point. I was hesitant to go to PT for my shoulder/neck because of having previously experienced a traditional PT assembly line facility, so I am very happy that my acupuncturist strongly recommended Dr. Sunny at Physis PT. He’s a joy to work with and highly recommended!

  • Terri Oviedo

I had juvenile rheumatoid arthritis as a child. As a result, I've spent years doing Pilates, yoga and physical therapy. After a few sessions with Sunny, he was able to activate and re-awaken all these muscle groups in a way no other techniques had. I'm now walking and sitting comfortably - feeling my body in a way I haven't in years. The clinic is super clean and the energy and ambiance feel great. Also, I love the fact that I can have PT and chiropractic services in one place. And both practitioners are excellent. Although I live in Queens, their location near Grand Central makes my commute super convenient. I plan to bring my mom here, too.

  • Wilma Davila

Began sessions with Dr. Pandya after a fall on concrete stairs and hurting my upper back and right shoulder. The exercises, stretches and lessons on correct posture have improved my range of motion and have relieved the pain tremendously. He really knew how to treat the pain that I thought would never go away. He is very friendly and professional and I always leave the sessions feeling like a new person. The premises are spacious and clean and there isn’t a long wait with a scheduled appointment. So if you need a highly skilled physical therapist in midtown East, Dr. Pandya is the therapist to see. Convenient location near Grand Central.

  • Lindsay N

I went to Sunny because of a hip injury and was able to get back to my usually activities after just a few sessions. I left each session feeling stronger, in less and less pain, and with a better sense of how to move in a way that would keep me pain-free. Sunny provided clear guidance during the sessions and ensured that I was doing each exercise and movement correctly for maximum benefit. He works in a way that is thorough and holistic. I am a posture and movement expert, and in addition to personally benefitting from working with Sunny, I have finally found a physical therapist who I can confidently refer my clients to!

  • Allane Wrynn

I highly recommend Physis Physical Therapy. I came in to see Priyanka for a sacroiliac injury. Priyanka is very knowledgeable and did an in depth diagnostic test to confirm the diagnosis. She takes time to explain the injury and how each treatment and exercise will help with healing. She gives complete one on one therapy for the entire session, always asking for feedback about how the exercise feels and confirming it’s being done correctly. I’ve been to at least 10 sessions and I am greatly relieved I am almost completely healed. The progress has been very encouraging! The office itself is very clean and well run.

  • Kaitlin Morrison

Sunny (Dr. Pandya) is a delight to work with, and I have seen significant improvement in my chronic back, shoulder, and neck pain after seeing him for a couple of months. Sunny’s approach is highly individualized, comprehensive, and compassionate. I have very limited time, so going to PT twice a week is not something I take lightly. I really appreciate that my time is well spent: the Physis office always runs on time, works to accommodate my schedule, and I always walk away feeling better. A bonus is that you get to support a local, growing business run by someone who is talented and passionate about what they do!

  • Yufang Zhuo

Dr. Sunny is the BEST! My son brought me to see Dr. Sunny for my knee arthritis problem. I only had one month for the treatment given my travel plan, but Dr. Sunny went above and beyond to help me not just reduce my pain significantly, but also teach me a comprehensive exercise and self-care plan that I can use in the long-term. He is so kind and patient when answering all my questions especially given the language barrier. This experience has completely changed how I look at my knee pain and now I have a lot confidence that I can improve my condition in the long-term without relying on surgeries or medications.

  • Ruchi Rawal

The level of care at Physis PT blows all the others away! To find a health practitioner (Dr. Pandya) that actually listens, pays attention to details and is genuinely concerned about your quality of life in itself is priceless and makes a HUGE difference. I had persistent lower back pain, not knowing the causative for years. Not only did Dr. Pandya, get to the root cause of the problem and help alleviate back pain, but also helped correct my posture. His technique and skill set acquired from around the world is second to none. Friendly, experienced and incredibly dedicated is how I would describe them!

  • Dharmendra Dave

Finally got the right place after trying different places. I had a sports knee injury ( running ) and did not improve at all even after going to two other clinics earlier for over 1-1/2 year. Finally found this clinic where the whole team took my personal care from day one and in 3 months dedicated treatment finally I got back and up on my feet Extremely impressive place conveniently located by the Grand Central station for ease and convenience of commuters like me. The whole team has exceptional high quality service standards I highly recommend this place for those seeking quick and right treatment.

  • Ethan Lin

Dr. Sunny is the best physical therapist in NYC. I have tried 5+ different physical therapy places over the past 10 years for my back pain and shoulder injury, but unfortunately none of them helped me resolve my issues. There are a few things that Dr. Sunny stands out: 1) he can connect the dots and treat multiple issues at the same time, 2) he spends the entire 1hr appointment with you, whereas other physical therapy places tend to treat multiple patients at the same time, 3) he teaches you the exercises for you to improve in the long-term (not just to reduce pain in the short-term).

  • Sarthak Zaveri

I had a Grade III injury/complete ligament tear of ankle (Anterior talo-fibular) from playing sports. I consulted Dr. Dave who’s an amazing physical therapist. I went from not being able to walk to sprinting and playing sports in no time. She was patient with me throughout the whole process. Dr. Dave always encouraged me to go further in my training. I’m back to normal all thanks to her. Physis Physical Therapy has all the training machines and space you need for excellent therapy. I would definitely recommend using Dr. Dave’s services. She is an excellent therapist.

  • Ravija Munshi

I have visited this physical therapy for my sports injury, and I am very impressed and satisfied with services received during the past 2 months at the NYC office. I see the therapist, Dr. Pandya, and he is a very knowledgeable, courteous, friendly, professional who is also very experienced. He spent the full hour with me explaining the techniques and exercises and has been working with me for strengthening the hip muscles. This is the best practice to go to for all your therapy needs. I highly recommend Physis Physical Therapy First for any sports injuries.

  • Nadia Monosova

I had to update my original review which was based on the first visit. Now after seeing Dr. Sunny for a few months I am convinced he is the most talented physical therapist, as well as a genius when it comes to manual adjustments. I've been to a lot of PT places in NYC over the years and can vouch, Dr. Sunny stands alone. Original review: This place was recommended by friends and did not disappoint. Dr. Sunny is knowledgeable, professional, enthusiastic. Goes the extra mile for his patients. Clear communication, timely appointment, clean and pleasant space.

  • Rashna Patnaik

Sunny is very knowledgeable and takes the time to explain everything in detail. You also see results soon enough as he does a thorough diagnosis and prescribes the best plan to solve your issues. I’m glad I went to Sunny with my back problem - I saw tremendous improvement after the very first visit and recommended him to my friends and family. Sunny’s wife Priyanka is very knowledgeable too (although she hasn’t treated me directly) and gave me great advise for a friend who had pelvic muscle issues. They’re a wonderful and professional team!”show less

  • Niraj Jani

I have been visiting Dr. Pandya for two months now after Physis PT was recommended to me by a friend. After trying different kinds of meds and home therapy for symptoms similar to Sciatic nerve pain without success, i am glad to say the therapy has worked. Dr. Pandya uses cause based treatment methods and attends to you all the time during your session. His treatment at the clinic and easy to follow home exercises are key to my recovery. I would strongly recommend Physis PT and Dr. Pandya to anyone that is looking for effective physical therapy.

  • Liviu-Dorin Salceanu

Recovering after a knee surgery is not an easy task however Justin and Sunny made it comfortable and pleasant. They are both very knowledgeable professionals, and you can tell they are passionate about their work. Thanks to Sunny, I’m always ahead of how the surgical doctor predicted my rehabilitation. I always look forward to the PT sessions because that’s where and when I made the real progress. The other staff working in this office are very friendly and always go above and beyond to accommodate the patient’s needs. Totally recommend!

  • Zeb Liburd

Since I’ve started working with Dr. Pandya (about a month ago), the lingering pain I’ve felt in my lower back for past few years has almost completely subsided. I’ve worked with multiple physical therapists in the past and none have, not only catered to my needs as much as him, but equipped me with the tools I need to continue to improve at home as well. I Would absolutely recommend Dr. Pandya to help you in your road to recovery whether you’re rehabbing from an injury, or looking to relieve long-term pain!

  • Grace Leung

I have been getting Physical Therapy from Sunny. He is amazing and knowledge. I am surprised how fast I am recovering from a complete torn ACL rehab without surgery. I was doing alot of acupuncture and herbal treatments and still can't walk with a limp. Then I went to get an MRI, and found out I have a torn ACL after 2 months from a ski trip. I started working with Sunny for about 5/6 sessions, I am making good progress. Sunny is a wonderful, tentative, informative therapist. I highly recommend him.

  • Chandrima Poddar

The Physis team is great! They are really invested in their patients. They do such a good job with explaining the issue and how to correct it. Scheduling appointments with them is very easy and they are more than accommodating if you want to reschedule. Sunny and Priyanka’s bedside manners are excellent. They never make you wait for your session - always start on time and end on time. Sometimes they will also spend extra time on you without any additional charge. I highly recommend this practice.

  • Rita Shpilsky

I initially visited dr Pandya for my knee recovery after the surgery, which he fixed in few visits, after that he started working on my chronical neck and back condition which reqiors more work. Dr Pandya is very professional and attentive. I never had to wait for my appointment. He spends100% of the time with you, trying to fix the cause of the problem. The office is also very clean and has all new equipment. Overall my experience is very positive with treatment plan and the whole office.

  • Sean Brant

Dr. Sunny is great. Started visited him after developing shin splints while training for a marathon. Dr. Sunny has been tremendous in not only helping to address the pain of shin splints, but also developing muscle groups / improving technique to avoid developing shin splints in the future. Throughout the process, I've really enjoyed Dr. Sunny's attentive nature - whenever I voice any new developments he listens closely and aptly adjusts, fostering an extremely collaborative process.

  • Jake Wainwright

I went to Physis Physical Therapy after suffering a compression fracture in my spine and worked with Sunny. Sunny is incredibly professional, and always greeted me with a smile and positive attitude. In his approach, he worked to not only help me heal my back, but also on other areas of my body that were impacting how I used my back so that I would heal properly and not compensate in any way. Highly recommend Physis Physical Therapy for anyone requiring physical therapy of any kind.

  • khira pandya

I had a great experience at physis. I was experiencing neck and back pain. After suffering for months and many unsuccessful treatments, I came across Physis. My first session was thorough and they were able to identify the main reason of my pain. I was set up with a treatment plan. Each visit I was reevaluated and progressed. I started to see relief within a week. I am so happy to get rid of my pain. I have also started to go back to the gym which seemed impossible a few weeks ago.

  • Jackie Picone

I'm incredibly grateful for the team at Physis Physical Therapy! I was trying to avoid having back surgery and after months of stagnation and pain was feeling like surgery was the only option for me. I met Sunny and the team at Physis through a referral and decided to give it one last shot. I couldn't be happier with my decision! I made steady progress over the course of a few months and now am back to running and working out as I had before my injury. Highly recommend!!

  • vikram oza

I have been suffering from cervical pain that used to radiate to shoulder. I have been to 3-4 physical therapy places but, there was no improvement in my condition when I found Dr. Sunny. His one on one approach towards his patients is what impressed me. Their way of treating patients is quite different than what I got treated for in the past. That approach was fundamental in my improvement. I thank you Dr. Sunny for your concern and taking time in treating me.

  • Karen Manley

I came to work one day with excruciating back pain and my boss recommended Dr. Pandya who works upstairs from us. I was a little skeptical at first but I was desperate. Dr. Pandya took me right away and by the time he was finished I felt like a different person. My range of motion was restored and I was able to work the entire day. He really saved me from serious agony! I can't thank him enough! His office is really nice also! I highly recommend him!

  • Manan Bhandari

Dr, Sunny is an incredible PT. I've had some nagging back pain for weeks and after one visit, I left with both an understanding of my pain as well as the systemic causes (conections that I would've never made intuitively). I've been going reguarly over the past few weeks and his holistic approach to my treatment has been very refreshing. His ability to communicate cannot be understated. I highly recommend him and Physis Physical Therapy.

  • meg morelli

Sunny is THE best!! He is so knowledgeable, it’s amazing! He is helping me so much with my shoulder injury using a whole body approach, he wants to improve your entire function even more than before your injury! I cant emphasize enough how much Sunny knows and how his technique and skill level are extraordinary! He is also so kind and caring!! I am So thankful my friend recommended me, it’s been a game changer! I cant Thank Sunny enough!

  • Anshul Mehta

I visited Physis for post knee surgery rehabilitation. I broke my knee ligaments while skiing this winter. My experience was simply amazing. I was so impressed by the experience and methods Dr. Pandya used to help me get back in shape. The most important thing that I liked about Physis was my one to one therapy sessions. Place is brand new, very clean and their staff is also very supportive. Definitely recommend!! Thank you Dr. Sunny.

  • David Senn

I am your typical desk bound worker. They years of bad posture and working out ineffectively have left me with neck, lowerback and most recently shoulder pain. Sunny is extremely knowledgeable and hardworking. It is clear to me that physiotherapy is a physically demanding field. Sunny puts a lot of effort and energy to getting me back to health but also fixing the damage I have caused through poor posture and ineffective technique.

  • Jersey Babcock

Sunny is great. He is the kind of medical professional that you can tell really cares about improving your pain. He's very thoughtful with every instruction he gives and which treatment is best for you depending on what you're going through that day. He always seems to have time to listen to you, and remembers everything you talk about session to session. He has great energy and somehow always seems energetic and positive!

  • Farzad-Elhaam Kohzad

Working with Dr. Pandya and the Physis Physical Therapy team over the last couple of months has been a great experience. The attention to detail to my injuries combined with the personal approach has helped me see a ton of improvement in my physical health. The holistic style of therapy has been extremely beneficial on my path to recovery and couldn't have expected any better in my time spent here. Highly recommend!

Working with Sunny has been so helpful. Not only is he very genuine, kind and welcoming person, he is also very knowledgeable. He has made a remarkable difference in the short time I have worked with him. I started out with pain in my elbow and shoulder. Sunny's approach to alleviating this pain and working with me to strengthen and stabilize my shoulder has been so effective. I highly recommend working with Sunny!!

  • Vaidehi Shah

My posture issue has been there since pretty much past 3 years, on and off physical therapy didn’t help me but just three sessions into Dr. Pandya’s clinic- I have started seeing some positive results. Even though this place is fairly new , Dr. Sunny himself has a lot of experience in the NYC area. (Btw even though this location is in midtown, it was fairly quick for me to come back and forth from downtown)

  • Sonya Natarajan

Priyanka is the best!! I started seeing her regularly due to neck and shoulder pain and saw results with in a few weeks. I received highly personalized treatment, and Priyanka always takes the time to listen to any issues and answer any questions. I’ve had a couple sessions with Sunny and he is excellent as well. They run a great practice, and are both very knowledgeable, personable, and caring.

  • Omaira Rivas Lacey

Here's why I highly recommend Dr. Sunnykumar Pandya: No wait! He is ready for you right at the scheduled time. He clearly explains what he will do to help you get better. He also explains in plain language what is causing the pain. What muscles, ligaments, etc. I improved my shoulder movement from nearly 0 to 9 after my fourth session. Very gentle, patient and polite!

  • Chanchal Nag

I have seen Dr Sunny Pandya for my thumb and wrist tenditis problem . He was quickly able to diagnose and fix the issue with his unique methods in a few sessions , not only that he gave me all the home exercise to prevent the further occurrence. I am able to play my sports without any issues anymore. I would highly recommend Physis physical therapy and Dr Pandya.

  • Sophia Deutsch

Sunny at Physis Physical Therapy is amazing! He is so kind and helpful. I saw him after injuring my back, and he made a dramatic difference in my recovery. Additionally, I reached out to him about an appointment last minute, and he did everything he could to see me promptly. Sunny is one of the nicest most talented physical therapists I have seen!

  • Val Berisha Loxhaj

I went to see Sunny after experiencing numbness and tingling on my legs and arms. Sunny helped me get better in 3weeks. I don't feel my symptoms anymore but more than that Sunny taught me how to use my body without hurting it. I am more aware of my posture and can breath better. Sunny knows what he is doing. Trust his judgment and enjoy the ride!

  • Elwood Taylor

Dr. Sunny has been an excellent resource in my achilles reconstruction rehabilitation. He is thoughtful and creative in his therapeutic solutions. Unlike other PT practices that can be very inattentive and hands-off, Sunny devotes all of his attention to his patients from start to finish of each session. Best PT practice in New York City!

  • Jet Cessant

Sunny and Priyanka are amazing at what they do. They really take the time to give you their undivided attention and are extremely patient with all the exercises. They also seem to remember a lot of personal details about you which makes you very comfortable. Physical therapy is not easy but Priyanka and Dave make everything enjoyable!

  • Chris Parsons

Sunny is great to work with and provides vast knowledge and passion for physical therapy. He knows many different treatment approaches and was quickly able to pinpoint the areas that were causing me pain. Payment and scheduling of appointments were very clear and easy. From seeing Sunny, I have seen much improvement with my injury.

  • Erika Mimura

I am so glad that I found Physis Physical Therapy. I trained for a marathon and had bad groin pain. Both Justin and Sunny checked everything and found what caused the problem. I saw them more than 10 times and they gave me different treatments that suited to my condition on the day. They are very knowledgeable and communicate well.

  • Edwina Myer

Dr. Pandya is a great physical therapist and has really helped me with both targeted treatment and long term maintenance. He has made a huge difference to my lifestyle - making my TMJ, neck, shoulder and back pain almost non-existent. If you are looking for an Australian-style physio in Manhattan, Dr Pandya is the perfect choice!

  • justin katz

Very great first experience. I had been to many PT places and felt like I was misdiagnosed. I was referred to Dr. Pandya by a colleague and for the first time in years, finally someone who UNDERSTANDS my condition. He created a personalized treatment plan and after just a few visits I already feel much better! Highly recommended!

  • Grigorios Reppas

Had my very first physiotherapy session with Dr. Sunny due to my right shoulder pain. He evaluated the situation, explained the problem and worked patiently with me on understanding the recovery exercises. He was also very responsive after the visit on questions I had while doing these exercises home. Would highly recommend him.

  • Irshad Kurawle

I had an amazing experience at Physis. Came here for Lower back pain… Sunny was very attentive and understood my concerns. He worked with me in intuitive ways to reduce my pain. Pain reduced by 50-60% in 3-4 visits… Office is also clean and overall content with the service, scheduling and wait times. Highly recommend Physis..

  • Dakshayie Patel

I went to this place when i pulled my hamstring , DR.Sunny was the one who gave a treatment… And he was very good at it , infact he was catching the right spots and as soon he started giving me therapy , i was relived by that. He also sent me some videos where i follow and do some work out. 1000% i would recommend this place.

  • Randy Chen

Dr. Sunny is unlike other physical therapists (in a much better way). You get 1 on 1 personalized treatments here every time Sunny treats not only the pain area but looks at the body as a whole. He does a lot of hands-on manual work and has greatly helped me with my chronic neck and TMJ issues. I highly recommend this place!

  • F.M. Kearney

Dr. Pandya has been treating me for a number of years for a variety of injuries. I started working with him at another rehab facility and followed him when he opened his own practice. No matter what the injury, Dr. Pandya has a technique to fix it -- along with easy to follow exercises to do at home. I highly recommend him!

  • Kunjan S

I was suffering from chronic low back pain and didn't know what to do about it. Every approach failed until I met Dr. Pandya. His unique techniques helped me achieve a better posture and I don't feel that nagging pain now. Thanks to Physis rehab I am able to do the activities I had given up on. Definitely recommend!!

  • Ray Herras

My experience at Physis Physical Therapy has been excellent! I am a U.S. Army veteran and have had persistent pain on the side of my left foot since I left active duty over 10 years ago. Over the course of 4-6 weeks, the pain has gone away. Additionally, my posture has also improved with the treatments. Thanks!

  • elizabeth kruszynski

Working with Sunny has been so helpful for my hip and shoulder issues and I started getting results after just a couple of sessions. He is very knowledgeable and kind. The facility is clean, fresh and comfortable. Also, the location is conveniently close to Grand Central. I highly recommend working with Sunny!

  • Nick Yakovlev

Best PT in the midtown. Seriously - the best! I've been suffering from chronic lower back pain for many years before I found this place. Now I feel so much better, I'm back in gym now where I haven't been since my early 20th. Highly professional and friendly staff, modern equipment. This guys are awesome.

  • Ashley Marie

Dr. Pandya is a wonderful physical therapist, made me feel so comfortable! He has a very detailed approach and uses non-traditional techniques from Europe. He spends 45 minutes hands on with me for each session and has really helped me with my neck pain. Can’t thank him enough!! Best in the game.

  • Michelle Tewksbury

After one visit with Dr. Pandya I knew he was the right physical therapist for me. He is incredible at looking at your body as a whole in terms of pain. The office is very nice and new and he has a great set of equipment. I highly recommend Physis Physical Therapy for all problems, big and small.

  • Sachin Shah

I greatly enjoyed my time at Physis PT! Both Sunny and Priyanka are highly knowledgeable and capable physical therapists, and care about their patients' well-being. They are very accommodating schedule-wise, and my customized PT plan helped me feel better in just a few months!

  • Heba DALLOUL

Excellent. Highly recommended. The team is professional and friendly. PRIYANKA is well experienced PT. She is a good listener, patient, provides explanations for each exercise, and helps you to understand the overall plan of the therapy, and takes you through it step by step.

  • Meeka Charles

So happy to have found this place! I came in with really bad forefoot pain. Dr. Pandya has helped me a lot with the acute pain and we are working to fix my gait so it stays pain free. The facility is big and has a gym area for exercises. Feels very clean and COVID-safe.

  • Dharan Kadiyala

Sunny’s office is great! He takes a personal approach that’s different than what you find at the churn and turn clinics that only care about patient volume. Sunny knows what he’s doing and is focused not only on your discomforts, but your overall balance and wellbeing.

  • Harshit Shah

Visited physis for shoulder pain and am very satisfied with the experience. The physical therapist explained in detail my problem, it’s cause, and treated it accordingly. What I liked the most was one on one attention I received at the clinic. Definitely recommended!!

  • Natalie Josefsberg

Clean and friendly office. Sunny and his acupuncture team has helped me tremendously and I would recommend them to anyone! They are great at detecting problem points and alleviating my pain enough to function day to day. I would go every week all year if I could!!!

  • Torsten Johnson

Friendly, warm, and caring service from beginning to end. Through the entire treatment process, it is palpable how deeply Sunny cares for me as his patient, and explains everything going on with my body in as much detail as I desire to delve into. Highly recommend.

  • Pavithra Rangan

Dr. Pandya is an extremely thorough, patient and amazing physical therapist. I went to him to treat a disc bulge in my lower back and have noticed steady improvement over the past weeks. His clinic is very well maintained too. I definitely recommend his services.

I had neck pain for many years and tried many PT offices seeking help for my pain. After just a few sessions working with Dr. Pandya, I felt much relief and was so happy! I could not be more grateful for the treatment and relief that the office has provided me!

  • Ved Prasad

Experienced calf tightness after taking up golf. Was diagnosed with a hip impingement. The treatment plan has not only reduced my calf tightness but opened up my hip mobility. Very strong focus on resolving the underlying issues instead of short term relief.

  • Margaret Thoren

Have had a great experience with Physis! I am a distance runner and came down with extensor Tendonitis. Worked with Sunny on mobility and strengthening that allowed me to get back into running much faster than I anticipated. Always easy to schedule as well.

After seeing team in Physis Physical Therapy for my lowback and shoulder conditions I was able to get back to the gym and workout very quickly. I would highly recommend for anyone who is suffering from gym injuries to see experts in Physis Physical Therapy.

I twisted my knee while working my car and injured my MCL. After a month of limping, I went to see Dr. Sunny. He not only helped me with my knee recovery, but also fixing other imbalances. Now, I have better balance and more flexibility.

Dr Pandya was very helpful with my shoulder injury from a sports accident. He has deep knowledge of his practice and is very skilled. He treated my arm to a complete recovery. I was able to race in the NYC triathlon after that!

  • I O' Keeffe

Professional, personable, and very experienced. It is very obvious that the practitioners here have a dearth of knowledge and practical experience. Never felt rushed and they handle all the insurance details. Highly recommend.

  • Keon Ramnath

Dr. Sunny and team are as good as it gets. Though explanation of what's need, why and how to. Couldn't have hoped for a better experience. I recommend that anyone looking for a physical therapist reach out right away.

  • Mike Sweeney

The team at Physis was able to diagnose my back pain through analyzing my movements, providing therapy and giving me tips on how to correct my form. The service was excellent and I was very happy with my experience.

  • Julian Mignott

Sunny is very knowledgable and attentive. He takes the time to develop a program specific to your needs and explains in detail the reasoning behind each movement. I highly recommend him and Physis Physical Therapy.

  • John Chevalier

Finally!! Specialist of the body and muscles. Even if you have no pain, I highly suggest you take a visit to PPT and see how great they are for yourself. You will not be disappointed. Dr Katz and Sonny are amazing!
