Jenny, Renuka and Sarah are the best and I highly recommend them! So wonderful to be with specialist who understand what you are going through. Slowly but surely I hope to get through this!Posted on Google David KingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience here. They have helped with my chronic congestion and neck and shoulder issues. Amazing.Posted on Google Marilyn FreundTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t say enough positive things about my PT journey with Renuka. Having worked with various physical therapists over the last couple of decades, I am very particular. Renuka’s knowledge and expertise are exceptional. She takes the time to explain not just what she’s doing, but why, which makes a huge difference in understanding your body and your recovery. Her treatment plan is thoughtful and personalized, never one-size-fits-all. Equally impressive is her professionalism. She is attentive and fully present during every appointment. You can tell she is deeply committed to her patients’ progress and overall well-being. Thanks to Renuka, I’ve made significant progress. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled, compassionate, and dedicated physical therapist.Posted on Google Lauren CohnTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Hobson Institute is excellent . Dr Hobson and Renuka Chilajwar are so professional and they treat you with such care. They keep me going , my neck, jaw, and back wouldn’t function without them. The staff is very accommodating and I can’t thank everyone enough for their care.Posted on Google Marisabel BorjaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been coming to Hobson Institute since June 2023 for TMJ / cranial mandibular disorder, and the care has been exceptional. Dr. Jenny Hobson and Renuka Chilajwar take a thoughtful, integrated approach—TMJ treatment, breathing retraining (including mouth taping and Up-Locker), myofunctional work, and dry needling. I came in with jaw tension, trapezius tightness, and neck pain—dry needling has been life-changing, with real, lasting improvement. Highly recommend!Posted on Google Lauren CabotTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ariel and Renuka were great in evaluating and providing my care plan. I enjoyed meeting with them weekly and seeing the progress I made from start to finish!Posted on Google Jennifer GregoryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Posted on Google Diane MillerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am most grateful for my Hobson treatment! My tinnitus issue was very debilitating when I started therapy at the Institute, yet the therapists have helped move me from an 8 on the pain level to below 2 on most days. All the therapists have great practice expertise, though you do need to put in the exercise/work to make the healing happen. I, personally, remain committed to continue doing my breath-work exercises, as those has been life-changing! Also, a special shout out to Renuka for her lovely dry needling skills!!Posted on Google Anna AhnTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jenny is fantastic! I’ve been dealing with TMJ/TMD, braces, cross bites for years and Jenny Hobson has been the most helpful in both teaching and treatment.
