Real recoveries, in our patients’ words

Best physiotherapist in Guwahati for spine-related conditions! I had an L4-L5 disc herniation and was advised surgery. After taking physiotherapy with Dr. Faraaz for 2 months, my back pain and symptoms improved significantly, and I was able to avoid surgery. Excellent guidance, professional treatment, and continued support even after treatment completion. Highly recommended for slip disc, sciatica, and spine rehabilitation.

I Iftikhar Hussain L4-L5 disc herniation

My brother-in-law suffered a stroke 4 months ago, and it was a very difficult time for our family. We started stroke rehabilitation with Dr. Faraaz, and today we are happy to see such good progress. He is now able to walk again, and his strength and confidence have improved a lot. We know recovery takes time, but the dedication, encouragement, and structured physiotherapy made a huge difference.

L Lata Bothra Stroke rehabilitation

I was suffering from severe slip disc and cervical spondylitis pain for a long time. The pain had become unbearable and it was affecting my daily life, sleep, movement, and even my mental peace. From the very first session, he understood my condition deeply and treated me with great care, patience, and professionalism. Within just 1 month, I felt completely relieved. Thank you so much, Dr. Faraaz, for giving me my normal life back!

R Ranjan Borah Slip disc & cervical spondylitis

I have a D12 spinal cord injury and have been undergoing physiotherapy with Dr. Faraaz for the last 2 months. Recovery from a spinal cord injury is a long journey, and I understand that progress takes time. However, I have noticed improvements in my strength, transfers, and overall confidence during rehabilitation. Dr. Faraaz is patient, explains the goals of treatment clearly, and motivates me to keep working towards recovery.

B Bidisha Phukan Spinal cord injury

I had an ACL injury and honestly thought getting back to normal would be very difficult. The rehab journey was tough, but Dr. Faraaz guided me with the right exercises, constant motivation, and genuine care. Session by session, I could feel myself improving. Today I'm stronger, more confident, and back to my routine.

A Arshadul Hoque ACL injury

I travelled from Dibrugarh to take treatment for my C5-C6 disc bulge, and it was definitely worth it. I was having neck pain, stiffness, and pain radiating into my arm, which was affecting my daily routine. After undergoing physiotherapy, I noticed significant improvement in my symptoms and neck mobility. In my experience, one of the best physiotherapists in Assam for spine and neck-related conditions.

R Rubul Ali C5-C6 disc bulge

After 10 years of neck pain, I honestly didn't expect much improvement. I had tried different treatments over the years with only temporary relief. Physiotherapy with Dr. Faraaz was different because it focused on the root cause and not just the symptoms. My neck feels much less stiff, headaches have reduced, and daily activities are more comfortable now.

P Prasenjeet Dey Chronic neck pain

I was searching for a good physiotherapist in Guwahati for my brother's facial palsy treatment, and thankfully we found Dr Faraaz at Northeast Neuro Rehab and Recovery Institute. The improvement after starting physiotherapy was really noticeable, especially in his facial movements and confidence. The entire team is very caring, supportive, and professional throughout the sessions.

B Binitama Basumatary Facial palsy

I travelled all the way from Haflong for treatment of my herniated disc. I was having severe lower back pain with radiating pain down my leg. After starting physiotherapy with Dr. Faraaz, I noticed steady improvement, and the radiating pain reduced significantly. The journey from Haflong was completely worth it. Dr. Faraaz explained my condition and recovery plan in a way that was easy to understand.

P Parun Boro Herniated disc & sciatica

I had been dealing with tennis elbow pain for weeks — even lifting a cup, shaking hands or typing became uncomfortable. What I appreciated most was that Dr. Faraaz explained why the pain was happening and what needed to be done to fix it. The treatment wasn't just temporary pain relief — it focused on proper recovery, strengthening, and getting my arm function back.

N Nawab Mujaharuddin Ahmed Tennis elbow

I had been struggling with knee pain due to osteoarthritis for a long time. Walking, climbing stairs, and even getting up from a chair had become painful. The treatment focused on improving mobility, reducing pain, and strengthening my knee rather than just giving temporary relief. I can now manage my daily activities much more comfortably.

P Pal Roy Knee osteoarthritis

I got very good recovery after suffering from a minor stroke 2 months back. I got my balance back in just 1 month and was able to walk properly. Thank you to Faraaz sir and the team at NeRI — wonderful experience.

K Khagen Deka Minor stroke

I was suffering from severe lower back pain due to an L4-L5 disc bulge with sciatica pain radiating down my leg. Sitting, walking, and even sleeping had become difficult. The treatment focused on spine rehabilitation, core strengthening, posture correction, and pain management, which helped me recover without surgery. Professional care, clear guidance, and excellent results.

M Maidul Islam L4-L5 disc bulge & sciatica

I had a gym injury and was struggling with pain during workouts. After treatment with Dr. Faraaz, I recovered really well and am back to the gym again. Professional, supportive, and excellent at sports injury rehabilitation. Highly recommended!

H Hirok Bhatta Sports injury

I found Dr. Faraaz through Instagram when I was looking for help with my spine problem. I'm really glad I decided to visit him. I've seen very few doctors who listen so patiently without rushing. He understood my problem, explained everything in simple words, and gave me honest advice along with the right physiotherapy treatment.
