If you’re reading this review, you’re probably also seeing a bunch of others like it. And they’re all saying one thing: if you experience chronic pain that could be in any way linked to muscle tightness, PLEASE do yourself a favor and book at least one appointment with Raj. If it’s muscle-based, I promise that you’ll find at least some relief, potentially after just a singular appointment. I came to Raj desperate after over 15 years of chronic migraines and neck tightness. After my first treatment, a medication-resistant migraine that I’d been having for the last 2 weeks was gone without a trace. After the second appointment, my husband exclaimed that he had never felt my neck muscle so loose in our entire 10 years together. I’ve tried various medications, acupuncturists, physical therapists, chiropractors, and neurologists, but Raj and his Nydoo Technique has them all beat!

My husband stumbled on Mr. Raj by Providence’s arrangement. I have been suffering from abdominal pain for a few years now, ending in the ER every 6 months where they’ll give me morphin, test me for blockages and send me home. We had different theories for the cause of the pain without coming to a real solution. So I thought let me give Raj a try. Painless trigger massage therapy is really painless. I didn’t scream through the massage as I usually do. After the treatment I felt so light. My pain was gone! That night, I slept so good and for the first time in my life I woke up without a tinge of tiredness and pain. I am so grateful that we found Raj. The best thing still is that he also teaches you how to remain painless with his self healing techniques which I am very much looking forward to! I am already recommending him to all my friends!

Raj has been amazing in the short time I've started seeing him for trigger point therapy. He is meticulously thorough in his work of finding the source of the problem. I've noticed an improvement in not only the symptoms initially came in with but also with lingering injuries that I've grown accustomed to. He teaches a whole body approach and is more than happy to share his knowledge so that you can practice at home.

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 had back issues from a car accident for the past seven months. I’ve done physical therapy, seen a chiropractor, and have done everything in my power to get better, but I still had tightness in my back. I discovered Raj through the power of google and I wish I would’ve searched sooner. Even after one session, my back felt leaps and bounds better than it has felt in months. I wasn’t sure what to expect before I met Raj, but it was definitely worth while.

I went to Raj for help with pain relief for a herniated disc. He was very professional, helpful and accomodating. As a physical therapist I knew that Raj understood the body well and how to help with the healing process. Thank you Raj for helping me get relief from the herniated disc in my back and tight muscles so I can enjoy my vacation in CA!

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.
