Very happy with treatment.
My arm had no good movement after stroke. Walking was very hard, very slow. Raj helped me lot. He gave very good exercises, was very patient with me. Now my arm is stronger, I can hold things better. My walking is also better, more balance.

I can’t recommend him highly enough!
I had been struggling with severe lower back pain and sciatica, which made even the simplest tasks unbearable—especially sleeping. After seeing Raj my pain levels reduced significantly, and for the first time in weeks, I was able to get a good night’s sleep.

So grateful for the support and dedication.
At 77 years old, I was struggling with persistent leg pain that made even simple daily activities difficult. From my very first visit, I was treated with such kindness, patience, and professionalism. Their expert care has made a real difference, and I now feel much more confident in managing my pain.

I’m back to doing what I love!
I sprained my ankle playing sports, and at first, I was worried I wouldn’t be able to get back to my usual activities. They provided me with exercises that were perfect for my age and helped me regain strength and mobility.
