Proformance Physical Therapy & Sports Rehab Center, Santacruz West

Dr. Akshay was referred to me by a friend who had an upper back issue and was cured by Dr. Akshay after a few sessions. I have had this issue for over a decade and like any other young and naive person I ignored the symptoms for the longest time till it reached a point where I couldn't even move my neck. I went to Dr. Akshay in the month of May and he suggested me to get an X-Ray and see a spine surgeon. The spine surgeon conducted an MRI, Ultrasound, X-Ray and a few blood tests and concluded that I have TOS. I was prescribed physiotherapy as the first line of treatment. I came back to Dr. Akshay and started my physio sessions. From Day 1, he was super confident that I would not need any surgery and that he will be able to fix the issue with just physio. I will be honest, I had my doubts initially, given that TOS is a rare disease and I had this pain in my shoulder blade for over 10 years but 2 months down the line and 7 sessions later my issue is completely fixed. I just have to manage by doing some basic shoulder and neck stretches and that's about it. I would highly recommend Dr. Akshay Wagh for any kind of physiotherapy, he is highly skilled and knowledgable and explains each & very thing in detail. The clinic has a very positive vibe and a cute little dog named "Dash" who is an icing on the cake.

Short story: He saved my back.

Really really long working hours, constant travel and lack of exercise cause a lot of back issues with almost everyone these days. A couple of years ago I was diagnosed with a slip disc in the upper lumbar spine. The spine surgeon recommended that I undergo physiotherapy instead of going in for a surgery at that stage and if I did not do that, surgery would be the only option. It was then when I came across Dr. Akshay and his team. Not only did he explain to me what happened but why it happened and how to avoid it in the future. Now I am much much much better and I completely trust him with any related issues (strain due to working out or mobility issues). I have full faith in Dr. Akshay and he has my full recommendation.

Found out about Dr. Akshay via online recommendations from other patients. I had seen about 8-10 physios and orthos for my chronic neck and upper back pain before finally going to Proformance and hands down, * ******* ***** * *********** ************* ******* ** *********** ***** ** ***** *** I saw lasting results from the very first session. Shoutout to the entire team for being warm and friendly, and making everything from appointment booking to payment is easy and prompt. 12/10 would recommend!

PS - If you're lucky, you'll spot a dog/s at the clinic and that's always a bonus!

You don’t often meet a Miracle worker but I got really lucky with this one! For the past few months, I was having a lot of trouble with my back, which made it hard for me to move around. Akshay is the ultimate Physiotherapist you'll ever come across and the crew at @proformancept are Absolute champs! Knowledgeable, patient as saints, and so professional. His holistic approach made it possible for me to move and exercise again, which seemed impossible just a month ago. Can't thank him and the awesome team enough for everything! If you've got any physical woes, book an appointment with Akshay now. Your body will Thank You

I was treated by Dr. Bushra Ansari for my back pain. Her expertise in manual therapy & customised exercise prescription has been instrumental for me to regain my mobility and reduce the pain levels significantly. The best part of the treatment was Dr Ansari's ability to make patients feel at ease & taking time to listen to my concerns and answer made the treatment process a collaborative effort. I would definitely recommend Proformance!!

Akshay was very good in understanding my problem and helping me through my recovery. There were times that I just didn’t believe I would be back to playing football and running but the entire team at Proformance was very supportive and motivating in helping me recover.

Akshay definitely has immense knowledge in his field of work. He is friendly unlike some physiotherapist OR dr.s in general.

The unique thing about him is he takes patients from 5 am. Who takes the pain to start that early. His deciplined lifestyle is something to learn from.

Hia high energy is motivating. He is always on his toes.

Good luck

Akshay is extremely dedicated. His treatment is quite effective and most of the times there is instant relief. He is friendly, so it helps to get through the painful massage that is a part of the treatment. His team is very friendly too. Overall it’s always been a good experience.

The fact that he is young, and comes with a solid educational background in his field, made me want to go back the 2nd time. From the 3rd time onwards, it was the way he dealt with my issues and genuinely tried to help, that made me a believer in Akshay Wagh. There is obviously a reason the guy's appointments are always booked! Best of luck Akshay

Akshay understands the body very well. He works on the tissues and muscles and the pain points. I felt my muscles loosen up after the treatment, and muscular pain in my glutes was much better. They also prescribed strengthening exercises for the long term. My husband’s back sprain also healed within a few days of his treatment.
