Chronic Pain

“I went to Yuji at Yokohama Physio after having persistent lower back pain for 5 months. He was extremely knowledgeable and helped provide immediate relief from the pain. I had seen other specialists prior to Yuji, but they did not provide much relief. Over several visits, he was able to discover the source of my problem and provided suggestions on how to mitigate back pain moving forward. I highly recommend him!
