What our Clients say

Raj is a caring, knowledgeable and capable professional who is utterly committed not just to bringing his clients to their full strength but to listening to them and tailoring a program to fit their needs. Raj brings a wealth of experience and knowledge, along with his basic love of people, to make you not only feel welcome but to improve your strength. I would recommend him highly.

I stopped by for an evaluation and I must admit I was very impressed. He pointed out where my issues are and they weren't what I was thinking of. Where the pain issues are really caused by or related to. Time will tell if we are successful with reducing my pain issues. I have never been to a therapist who dose the evaluation like Raj does.

I found HWY Physical Therapy on Facebook, and since I have been having mobility and balance issues, and fell a couple of times last year, I decided to make an appointment. Raj was so helpful! He showed me what kind of exercises to do, and most importantly, he helped me realize how important it is to stay active. I highly recommend his services.

Physical therapist, Raj Identified the issues related to my hip pain. Raj developed a plan of strategic exercises to alleviate the problem. He was patient. and fun to work with. Give Raj a try you won’t be disappointed.

Raj was very helpful and kind in evaluating me for the Otago balance program to which my physician had referred me. In Raj's opinion, it is not a program that I needed. I enjoyed working with him.

I am Anita Evans. After foot surgery I was unable to bend or flex my toes which prevented me from wearing shoes other than casual ones. I had one visit with Raj and he instructed me for exercises and helped me learn to do procedures to iprove the use of my foot. I was able to do these at home at my conveince. I returned for my second visit with pleasure as I am now able to wear most of my shoes and I know thanks to Raj I will be able to contiue to improve. Thank you again Raj!
