Went for lower back pain that I’ve been experiencing for years. Within my first session Aparnaa was able to instantly relieve my pain and she immediately knew the root of the issue. She’s extremely knowledgeable, listens to your needs and gives you long-term solutions. She’s the best physiotherapist I’ve worked with and will definitely be going back!
