Dr. Henry Sugiharto

Biography

A Leader in Neuro-Fascial Science and Interventional Pain Education

• Dr. Henry Sugiharto is a leading Neurologist, Pain Consultant, and Medical Educator whose expertise bridges the disciplines of neurology, interventional pain management, regenerative medicine, and functional rehabilitation.
• As Chief Instructor at the American Institute of Functional Integrated Dry Needling (AIFIDN), he stands at the forefront of integrating neurophysiology, fascial dynamics, and functional dry needling within modern pain management education.
• He currently serves as a Full-Time Lecturer at the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Sriwijaya, while practicing as a Consultant Neurologist at Moh. Hoesin General Hospital, Siloam Sriwijaya Hospital, and Recons Fit Indonesia Clinic.
• Dr. Henry’s academic and clinical contributions strengthen AIFIDN’s mission to unite neuroscience, fascia research, and functional clinical application into a globally recognized educational model.

Academic Focus at AIFIDN

At AIFIDN, Dr. Henry Sugiharto leads the neurological and interventional pillars of the 3rd Generation Fascial Adhesion Model (FAM) curriculum.

He is instrumental in connecting neurophysiology, fascial adhesions, and functional dry needling through evidence-based education and clinical translation.

His teaching contributions include:

• Neuro-Connective Dry Needling Model: exploring the neuro-fascial interface and motor control systems.
• Multidisciplinary Principles for Pain Management: integrating neurology, fascia, and behavioral neuroscience.
• Specialization Modules: applying regenerative and neuromodulatory techniques to chronic pain and sports rehabilitation.

Through his leadership, AIFIDN’s courses now integrate advanced neurological screening, fascial mapping, and interventional procedures, preparing clinicians to diagnose and treat complex pain patterns with scientific precision.

Educational Philosophy

“Pain is not a symptom but a neuro-fascial message.
Understanding that communication allows us to restore both structure and function.”
— Dr. Henry Sugiharto

Dr. Henry believes that healing requires understanding the dialogue between the nervous system and fascia — a concept that forms the neurophysiological foundation of the Fascial Adhesion Model (FAM).

His mentorship helps clinicians interpret pain as a multidimensional experience, combining neural pathways, fascial tension, and systemic adaptation — a hallmark of the AIFIDN teaching model.

Role in Advancing AIFIDN Education

As Chief Instructor, Dr. Henry collaborates directly with Dr. Mihir Somaiya, Founder & President of AIFIDN, in developing and delivering the institute’s global curriculum.

Together, they have established a comprehensive framework that merges neurology, fascial science, and clinical reasoning across AIFIDN’s Practitioner, Certification, and Diploma Modules.

Dr. Henry’s educational leadership emphasizes:

• Central & Peripheral Pain Pathway Analysis
• Neuro-Fascial Mapping in Movement Disorders
• Advanced Interventional Pain Procedures
• Clinical Applications of Regenerative Medicine

His mentorship cultivates critical thinking, diagnostic accuracy, and an evidence-based mindset among AIFIDN learners and faculty worldwide.

Contribution to the 3rd Generation FAM Model

Dr. Henry Sugiharto’s neurological insight forms the neuro-connective backbone of the 3rd Generation FAM Dry Needling System developed by Dr. Mihir Somaiya.

His research and clinical experience ensure that AIFIDN’s methodology is:

• Neurologically precise in its understanding of pain pathways,
• Clinically measurable in its diagnostic outcomes, and
• Therapeutically reproducible in real-world practice.

Together, they are reshaping the future of pain education through a fusion of fascial and neurological science.
