Highly recommend this clinic especially Mr. Muhammed Sohail Akther who I have been seeing for years. In the two episodes I had for my back and neck issue, Muhammad played an instrumental role in my recovery. He has gone above and beyond to understand and treat me.

Muhammad Sohail is an excellent physio. I have been going to him for years. I can highly recommend him. Anytime my back gets very tight I go to see him and the physio really helps. The dry needling really works.
