Renuka (PT) has been a true blessing in my journey to be (and stay) pain free!! I’ve dealt with chronic neck and back aches/pains my whole life and have tried multiple PT&dry needling places to help with painful trigger points…. None compare to the skillful and specialized PT work that Renuka provides. Since seeing her, I am a totally different person and am so grateful that I have finally found a PT who specializes in craniofacial techniques!!! BONUS - Renuka is literally the nicest and just has great energy! Don’t believe what those bad (seemingly fake) reviews have to say….

I’ve had an amazing experience with Ranuka , Ariel and the team at Hobson. I’ve long suffered from migraine headaches, and the treatments and advice have been amazing and have significantly improved my daily quality of life - thank you!

Renuka was my primary therapist and Ariel also worked with me. They were both terrific. Knowledgeable, professional and very nice, making you comfortable. And they addressed my problem, which is now well in its way to healing. Renuka showed a great deal of concern and interest in my situation. Definitely recommend Hobson Institute!

After seeing multiple dentists without real improvement, I found Renuka at the Hobson Institute. She listened to what I was going through and worked with me to manage symptoms and find relief. I can tell she genuinely cares about her patients too.

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.

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.

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!
