This particular technique is exactly what I was looking for. It actually has an end ...unlike chiropractors which I find I just had to keep going constantly for temporary results. Raj gives you personalized attention and there is a start of the procedure and then an end with a relaxed feeling. For me, I am older and I have been told that I have a scoliosis problem and have been offered steroid shots. I rather just do exercises and live with the stiffness & sometimes pain. Now I understand muscle tightness and what can be done about it and a better solution to be pain free and we are working on my body section by section until completely pain free.

I had a childhood accident that altered my gait and threw off my balance. In my 30s, my body rebelled and by my 50s, I had cervical spinal stenosis and bulging discs in my lower spine. Over the years I tried everything - acupuncture, massage, chiropractic, CBD oil, painkillers, shots, stretches, neck pillows, supplements, IcyHots, massagers, prescription muscle relaxants, and more. I thought I had run out of options and then I met Raj. His approach is unique - instead of painful massaging of problem areas, he has discovered a technique of applying direct, focused pressure solely to the trigger points, with virtually no pain. And his approach is holistic - he wants to know exactly what actions cause what type of pain and then teaches you how to focus on muscle tightness BEFORE it becomes pain. And the more you work together, the faster he will teach you how to treat yourself at home using just two tennis balls. So instead of the constant cycles of regular visits to chiropractors or massage therapists, eventually you graduate and can care for yourself. Now my biggest fear for my body is that Raj will retire someday!

I originally went to Raj for treatment for whiplash related migraines. I had previously tried going to a chiropractor, a masseuse, and stretching but to no avail. My migraines were resolved within only two visits but I continued to visit Raj for a couple months to work on various back, neck and shoulder issues. These were injuries from many years ago that I had given up on resolving but were fixed within a month of treatment. His work is that effective. I left Raj's care to return to my very physically demanding job feeling better than I have in a long time. My shoulder stability issues were resolved and I had full range of motion and flexibility in my joints.
Raj is a very thorough and knowledgeable therapist and is incredibly kind and invested in your care. He will also teach you how to treat yourself and what lifestyle changes you can make to prevent future overuse injuries. Raj is one of a kind!

I have been searching for relief for my back pain for years. I've been to massage therapists and chiropractors, but the relief I've gotten was only temporary. I was in so much constant pain that I felt like a different person. I found Raj after learning about trigger point therapy and it only took one treatment to see dramatic results that have lasted! It's like magic that I didn't think was possible after so many years of pain and stiffness. It's like my back has been reset! I don't slouch as much anymore and have much more range of movement. Raj is absolutely amazing and I would recommend his practice to anyone who thinks they can't find relief. Being pain free is possible!

Wow! Raj is truly a one-of-a-kind, incredible practitioner. Knowledgeable, highly skilled, super invested, and constantly creative in his approach. Raj has gone far, far beyond what I expected and I don’t know where I’d be if I hadn’t found him. Raj really takes the time to treat me as an individual and offers customized solutions based on my unique circumstances. He thrives on taking on a big challenge, and figuring out how to help in any way possible. If you are experiencing persistent, debilitating pain I highly recommend that you meet with him.
When I first came to Raj seven months ago I was in a massive amount of pain and discomfort; I was suffering from a series of repetitive stress injuries to my upper back, neck, elbow and wrist due to working as a professional artist and drawing long hours on a computer and digital drawing tablet. I was in so much pain that I had to stop working, and felt devastated at the prospect of not being able to draw anymore. I had tried every solution that I was aware of, but nothing seemed to help; instead, my condition only grew worse.
Raj immediately got to work on my upper body, treating muscles that had been traumatized and tightened from overuse. He systematically works region to region, using highly focused trigger point massage therapy to lengthen and restore muscle tissue. Each week he varies his treatment based on the symptoms that I experience in the days prior, and he adjusts his treatments in response. Raj carefully studies all relevant information about the way that I work in order to diagnose and give customized advice; I send him regular symptom updates as well as photos and videos of my posture while working throughout the week. He’s meticulous and observant, and his insights have been invaluable; they’ve helped me approach the way that I draw in a whole new (and much healthier and more sustainable way). In addition to the treatments that he personally administers, Raj has patiently taught me how to self treat my own trigger points, as well as teach me targeted stretching exercises and proper breathing technique while working.
I’m still currently working with Raj to improve, and still actively recovering and regaining the full ability to work on the computer/drawing tablet again, but Raj has given me a road map for recovery; we’ve been able to make a lot of progress. He has been there every step of the way and I’m so deeply grateful for his help and support. If you are experiencing pain and are looking for help, Raj is a truly incredible resource. He is so passionate about his craft and about truly helping people; I couldn’t recommend him more highly.
