What people have said about Ghazaleh...
I went to see Ghazaleh about back pain that I’d been experiencing for six years. I have now been working with her for a few months and I’m so pleased with what we’ve achieved in that time. Ghazaleh is very thorough and knowledgable, she’s also really friendly and approachable and I feel very at ease explaining how I’m feeling and asking questions. As a result of her treatment and advice, I now rarely experience back pain and I feel confident that if I keep following her guidance I can reduce that further. Having explored other treatment options for my pain previously, I didn’t think I could be where I am now and experiencing pain so rarely. Thank you Ghazaleh.

On my first appointment with Ghazaleh she performed a very detailed assessment, which provided me with very plausible explanations of why I was feeling the symptoms I was having. With her treatments and exercises that she recommended I feel my symptoms are much better, including vision changes caused by tightness on muscles of my head! She is always very interested in the details of my experiences during our sessions which also helps to guide the treatment to the best course. Thank you so much for all your help Ghazaleh!

After my first appointment with Ghazaleh I noticed a huge improvement. She did a thorough assessment of my back and pelvis and with weekly/fortnightly appointments she was able to really control the pain. Her use of acupuncture and physio techniques were tailored to my needs. have been able to continue working until 38 weeks of pregnancy in an active job.
I honestly think had I not had these treatments I would have been unable to walk in the later stages of my pregnancy. I can’t thank Ghazaleh enough for her treatment, expertise and care. - August 2024
I was suffering from lower back pain, and a friend suggested I visit Physiofit, it was one of the best suggestions I have had. Dr Ghazaleh Vahedi's examination was the most thorough I have received, and I was grateful for a diagnosis - finally.
Her unwavering support and crystal-clear explanations about the root cause of my issue left me in awe. She tackled my concerns head-on, leaving no question unanswered. She is currently guiding me through a seamless journey of recovery, offering straightforward solutions through exercises and physio treatments, which are helping me considerably and I believe it will not be too long until I am 100% pain free and get my life back on track.
I was lucky to find an excellent Physiotherapist in Dr Vahedi and given that I hate needles, I have grown to like the ones she uses as they are so effective! I am thrilled with the exceptional service and efficiency in treatment and have already referred family/friends who are also benefitting from ongoing treatment.
I would like to say to everyone out there who is suffering from back pain, there is no need to suffer in silence anymore, just book an appointment with Dr Ghazaleh Vahedi at Physiofit. - Yasmin S, August 2024
After years of chronic neck pain, I wasn’t sure just how much improvement could be achieved. At my first appointment, Ghazaleh listened to my story, examined me thoroughly and after some palpation and manipulation, formed a treatment plan that has changed my daily life. Over the next few weeks, she continued hands on therapy using deep tissue massage, manipulation and acupuncture – this last recommendation came as a surprise, but it worked. The weekly appointments were supplemented by a series of home exercises, simple but effective, and because I felt an immediate benefit, easy to comply with. From the first warm welcome to our latest treatment, Ghazaleh has instilled confidence, treated me with respect and shown levels of care that are beyond expectation. - Helen S, August 2024
Feedback on my 5 session course of physio for shoulder and rotator cuff damage.
I really enjoyed my sessions and took a lot away that I can use outside the sessions to help assist recovery and rehab. Treatment consisted of acupuncture which was really therapeutic and relaxing followed by intense sports massage which massively helped the injury and then practical stretching and coaching. In my time with Ghazaleh my flexibility and mobility have massively increased whilst reducing my pain and also increasing the strength in the injured joint. - Adam H, August 2024
I have been coming to see Ghazaleh for the last three weeks. I have suffered from lower back pain for years. Ghazaleh quickly identified the causes. After acupuncture and physio, I am nearly back to full mobility and pain free. Ghazaleh explained what she was doing and why. She made me feel relaxed throughout all the procedures. I was given exercises to do at home, which have helped greatly. I would definitely recommend Ghazaleh. - D. Johnson, July 2024
