I've had a shoulder impingement for years and booked with Ali Musa, who assessed my issue in the first session, asking questions to narrow down the problem and plan a solution. He provided valuable insights, particularly about my posture. In the second session, a deep tissue massage and home stretches improved my chest shape and posture, motivating me to continue fixing the issue once and for all! meels2025-01-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. great upper trap release completely eliminating my lower back pain too! will definitely be coming back Andrea Canini2025-01-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Went to Dr. Ali for back pain. He took his time to assess the situation, asking a lot of questions before beginning therapy. After 2 sessions the areas he hit are doing a lot better, haven't felt this way in years.
