I would highly recommend Dr. Sunny. I had been bedridden with a back injury for more than four months, and after just a few sessions with him, I finally started to make real progress. He focuses on the root cause so you fix long-term issues.

Thanks for your feedback. Glad to hear about your progress and recovery.
A friend suggested Physis to address my plantar fasciitis, and I was pleased with the care I was given and the results they achieved. I recommend Dr. Sunny Pandya without hesitation.
I have been working with Dr Pandya for my shoulder injury and the improvement has been remarkable. He used Storz focused shockwave as part of the treatment as well. It made a noticeable difference in reducing the pain.

Glad to hear that your shoulder injury is recovering well with PT and shockwave treatment. Thanks for the feedback.

Glad to hear that your TMJ condition is improving. Thanks for the review. 
5 years ago my head swayed back and forward constantly—the doctors didn’t know why —I went through physical therapy, acupuncture, and Botox treatments, but nothing fixed it until I went to Dr Pandya who did physical therapy and shock therapy….i have now recovered 99%
If I could give 6 stars I would. I came to Dr. Sunny/Physis for relief from TMJ pain and stiffness. A dentist wanted to treat it with injections and a fancy ($3000) mouth guard. I did some research and decided a holistic approach made more sense. Fortunately Physis came up in my google search. Dr. Sunny identified the root cause of my TMD. He has been helping me release neck and shoulder tension and overall misalignments through manual therapies, exercises and shockwave therapy. Not only has my posture improved significantly in 8 sessions but the TMJ pain and clicking is gone. If you want to find long-term healing, Dr. Sunny is your guy.
I came here for a couple of months for pelvic-focused physical therapy. At intake, I requested an appointment with Dr. Priyanka Dave, but over the phone and in person I was redirected toward a different male provider, possibly the owner. He seemed surprised that I insisted on my original request, and I had to restate my preference a couple of times before being scheduled with Dr. Dave.
Once I was able to see her, I found Dr. Dave warm, kind, and very communicative about touch, which made sessions comfortable.
One thing that bothered me a bit was that she often decided on the next exercise during the appointment itself. While I could tell this was tailored to how I was moving that day, I sometimes wished there had been more advance planning or a clearer long-term treatment plan.
Other stuff: the rooms are private and they had a spare set of exercise clothes if you weren’t dressed for therapy. I'm leaving a review now since I've received dozens of emails requesting a review which I quite frankly find annoying. I still receive them on a regular basis, even though I’ve tried to unsubscribe. To me, that seems like a weirdly strong business emphasis on reputation management alongside care...
Overall, a truly mixed experience. I valued the therapist I worked with and the privacy of the place compared to another PT clinic I tried, but the intake process and follow-up marketing didn't leave me with a very good impression.

Dr.Sunny is in a league of his own. I am not exaggerating when I say he is by far the best Pt that I have ever been to. He treats the cause of the problem, full body, in a way that I have never seen before. He works with you 100 percent of the time, and it’s all manual.
I had a knee problem and my previous pt and Orthapedic doctors were completely useless, basically telling me to strengthen the muscles around my knee. Dr. Sunny treated treated my whole system and found the reasons that I was having knee problems to begin with. Even after one session with him my knee felt better then it had in 5 months!
Go to him, you won’t regret it.

Thank you for the feedback Mindy! So happy to hear about your progress and recovery!!
Dr Dave is amazing. She treats me for my TMJ and in such a short time I already see results with my clicking, tenderness, pain and jaw sticking. Recommend Dr Dave, especially if you have TMJ/ jaw issues.
Response from the owner 19:41 12 Aug 25
Thank you so much for your review Victoria. I am so happy to help you get better. 
Sunny is great. Very knowledgeable and empathetic. I appreciate the fact that all sessions are fully 1:1, I’ve seen a great improvement over the last 6 weeks seeing him.
Response from the owner 19:42 12 Aug 25
Hello. Thank you so much for your review. We are so happy to help you reach your goals. 
Excellent staff, helpful exercises, and convenient location. Highly recommend!
As a hooper dealing with knee issues, I’ve worked with a few PTs before—but none come close to Sunny and the team at Physis PT. They don’t just throw ice and give you a couple of stretches—they take a full-body approach that actually gets to the root of the problem. From mobility and strength to mechanics and mindset, they cover everything. My knees feel stronger, my movement is smoother, and I’m back playing with confidence. The sessions are detailed, personalized, and backed by real expertise. These guys are pros—if you’re serious about your body, this is where you go.

Thanks for the review. Glad that you are getting back to playing sports.
Six months ago I broke two vertebrae while skiing. An orthopedic surgeon told me my back would heal on its own, but it did not. As the months passed, I continued to suffer from terrible back pain and was unable to maintain my daily exercise routine. I saw several physical therapists in San Francisco and New York who were unable to effectively treat my issues. Desperate for a different approach, I contacted Physis Physical Therapy two months ago. The front office team was extremely polite and efficient in setting up my initial appointment with Dr. Sunnykumar Pandya. Through a combination of manual work, point-specific exercises and shockwave therapy, Dr. Pandya's intuitive approach has helped me regain mobility and exercise again without pain. As an Olympic athlete I have worked with dozens of physical therapists over the past four decades. Dr. Pandya is one of the most skilled, focused and instinctive therapists I have ever seen.
What a nice guy. Very helpful. I visited Physis Rehab for PT for shoulder pain relief near midtown and the care I received was outstanding. The therapist listened to my problems and developed a plan that truly worked
Dr. Sunny Pandya has been incredible to work with! He has taken great care to ensure I’m getting the best treatment for my injury and is helping me develop a plan to become pain free. He is very knowledgeable and his team is very responsive with scheduling and logistics. Would highly recommend!
I had PT and shockwave therapy for plantar fasciitis. I’ve been in agony, this was totally transformative pain relief! Not only cured my symptoms but also gave a holistic treatment plan to avoid relapse. Highly recommend!
Super helpful with my Achilles tendon injury. The shockwave therapy made a big difference in recovering quickly
Came in having not played competitive basketball for 15 years and to correct an imbalance between right and left leg and pain above right knee and right foot. Dr. Sunny Pandya was communicative and showed me precisely what was happening before giving a clear plan to bring my legs into form and balance. Within a couple weeks, I was confident and moving on the court with confidence and wasn’t even sore the next day. He also gave lots of eccentric exercises to do at home. Highly recommend!
Sunnykumar has been very informative and helpful in providing exercises and areas to focus on for muscle pains.
As a referring orthopedic surgeon, my patients have always received exceptional care with outstanding results at Physis PT. He is my go-to PT in Manhattan for all my patients. Sunny and his team have keen insight into all sorts of musculoskeletal problems and get at the root cause of pain pinpointing where one's strength deficits are leading to fantastic results. Their facility is clean and beautiful. And unsurprisingly when I was recovering from recent knee surgery, I couldn't imagine going elsewhere to aid my recovery. Highly recommend!
Dr. Dave is an expert in her field. She handles one client at a time, is very patient, caring and listens. I highly recommend Physis Physical Therapy.
I had an amazing experience with Sunny in treating my knee. I was experiencing difficult walking and climbing stairs. I saw a remarkable improvement after a few sessions. He focused on the nerves that were triggering the pain. Doing the additional exercises to be done at home shows an even greater improvement. Highly recommend.

I've been working with Dr. Sunny at Physis for only a few weeks but I'm extremely satisfied with the level of care. I currently have been experiencing issues with TMJ and rather than going to Spear, I wanted to find someone who could work with me 101 within a calm environment. We've been doing a holistic approach and working on my posture and stress levels. Overall, really satisfied!
Torn meniscus issue from playing soccer. Surgery to correct and now at Physis for PT. Dr. Sunny is AMAZING. Amazing because he takes a methodical and holistic approach to treatment. The body is a series of interdependent systems so what may seem unrelated to a knee injury or helping an injury heal is crucially important. Dr. Sunny takes the time to understand what other muscles need to be worked on in order to speed up healing and increase functionality. Highly recommend.
Sunny is great and has really helped me with a number of issues, including my knees.
Physis has truly been magical—in a matter of weeks, they accurately identified and addressed the underlying issue that had been causing progressively-worsening knee issues, and as a runner I knew I couldn’t keep ignoring them. My knees and overall legs feel so much better and stronger. I highly recommend!
Dr. Pandya helped me recover from a persistent running injury — I’m very grateful for his expertise! The office has a great vibe, happy to have found a reliable physical therapist in NYC.
I've been seeing Dr.Sunny for neck and back issues and pain from a gym injury. I had been to Spear and other PT in NYC with minimal success. I've found his unique approach highly effective (I believe he uses European techniques DNS)-notably, the hands-on approach to the treatment is personalized especially for complex cases. I find Dr.Sunny to be a very caring practitioner and invests alot in his patient's progress which is evident in each session. He is also personable and listens to his patients with an empathetic bedside manner. He is by far one of the most knowledgeable PTs in his field (in a very crowded field in nyc) and I highly recommend him and his team unreservedly.
I highly recommend Physis Physical Therapy. I came in with a sharp back and SI hip that limited my mobility. Within the 10 sessions with Dr. Sunny, I am able to manage my pain and mobility better. Thanks to Dr. Sunny’s precise, thorough, and specific explanations, I have a better understanding and awareness of my body and how to better take care of myself. Dr. Sunny’s care was catered and personalized toward my issue and he answered all my questions with care and accuracy. Will definitely come back to him again when needed!
Starting in September, I was having really troubling symptoms including head and neck pain, numb and tingling arms, brain fog, and blocked ears. It was so scary that I went to the hospital one night as I kept waking up disoriented. I went to a spine specialist and he referred me to Dr. Sunny, and I couldn't be more grateful. An MRI showed I have Foraminal Stenosis, and Dr. Sunny has done such a great job treating me, that I rarely feel any symptoms now, when before I was feeling them 24/7, and it was a treat if I didn't have to deal with it for an hour or two. Scheduling appointments with them are so easy, and they took such great care to also make sure they were on top of my insurance to reduce the cost to me. I couldn't be happier with the treatments and service at Physis Physical Therapy - I highly recommend this team!
