It’s not just about the physical work Ziad does, it’s the knowledge, professionalism, and expertise. I visited him as part of my rehabilitation therapy regiment after sustaining neck pain and hand numbness I experienced due to mixed martial arts training. The timing was perfect in first meeting Zaid during his consultation seminar visit to my Jiu Jitsu school. Initially, he was able to identify several potential sources of my injuries and how to mitigate them. I subsequently signed up for one of his programs where he provided several reflex treatments at his office as well as self initiating routines to follow at home between visits. As I described my aches and pains throughout my visits, he was able to not only identify the source but was very knowledgable of the terminology of the affected areas quickly citing them. He also explained how and why the pain existed and recommendations to return back to normalcy over time.

This a place to go to for people who are serious about returning your body to a level of comfort and normalcy. Not only do they treat but they also have a wealth of knowledge and resources that are strongly encouraged to follow beyond visits that can be done at your own pace. Lastly, Zaid is one who has a wealth of cultural, sports, and manual labor knowledge and empathy which can be very helpful in building a level of trust during your visits. He demonstrates a high level of care for his clients.

Where to start..Ziad has helped me with a ton of ailments from neck, back, hip, knee, and ankle pains. He’s definitely one of a kind that will actually get you results!! How tedious and frustrating it was to go to hospital rehabs and outpatient clinics that don’t prioritize you; visiting Ziad is a complete 360. Things that took 8 weeks to gain 25% of function at other outpatient clinics I was able to do in just 3-4 visits. Huge benefit to visit someone who’s practical and functional to get you to where you need to be effectively!

As a sports performance facility, we only send our athletes to physical therapists we trust. As a small business in the same industry, we understand there is a significant difference in the quality of care you receive based on who you work with. Dr. Dahdul and his team are some of the best DPTs we’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with. We are fortunate to have them in our network!

I highly recommend Ziad. I had ACL surgery. My original PT got me to the point of physically walking but I needed a different plan to help with stairs and eventually skiing again. Ziad was the PT I needed. Due to my age, it is taking a while but I have made more positive progress with Ziad than previously. I wished I had found him before my surgery. He asks good questions and adjusts the plan based on where you are at. With Shelter-In-Place right now, we are doing online/video appointments. It is working out very well. He now builds a plan based on the equipment I have at home. I'm well on my way to full recovery...I was able to ski this past winter too.

Z is the real deal! Not only is he highly knowledgeable, but he is extremely compassionate and sincere in his approach. He listens to what you have to say, thoroughly evaluates your range of motion and movement patterns and develops an effective plan of action. As an athlete, I am often in need of routine maintenance. I recognize the importance of keeping my body healthy so that I can continue to do the sport I love. I am thankful that Z acknowledges and understands my needs and wants, and works with me to help optimize my performance and minimize my pain. I initially came to see him for sacrolumbar pain that had flared up after a previous injury. Z has provided me with an evolving set of exercises as well as quality hands on treatment that have helped keep my pain at bay. While treating my back, he also took the time to address a shoulder impingement that I had worked around for about a year. After assessing my shoulder, Z provided a course of action for me to follow that involved stretching overly tight muscles and strengthening others that were underdeveloped. Within a few weeks, I was happily back performing exercises pain free that I had avoided for so long. If you are in need of a physical therapist, Z is an amazing choice! He will do whatever he can to make your experience convenient, enjoyable and effective!!

Dr. Ziad is super knowledgeable and puts in laymen's terms so its easier to understand; he's also super cool to talk to about life. I've been to another PT and they never took the time to address the problem as thoroughly as Dr. Ziad has. After my first visit, I knew that he runs his business with integrity and sound physical therapy science. Having issues with my shoulders and knees for the last 3-4 years, he has made sure to give me a full plan that addresses my imbalances and weaknesses. He also has never tried to sell me pseudo-science products. I 100% recommend Dr. Ziad as he does truly care about fixing your problems and has the knowledge and credentials to help you.

My brother who has been doing CrossFit for 9 years recommended Ignite Phyzio to me. I had pain in my right shoulder doing bodyweight exercises like push-ups and pull ups. The discomfort started affecting my daily life as well. It was difficult for me to carry my son and even put my jacket on.

I began seeing Ziad in January. From the first consultation, I could tell that he is very knowledgeable and genuinely cares about his clients. Within a couple of days, he sent me some exercises to do. They were easy to follow and didn’t require a lot of equipment. I was even able to do some at work from my desk. He also sent a google doc with links to videos on how to properly execute the exercises which was very helpful.

Even though I am a registered nurse, I was skeptical about the effectiveness of physical therapy. I was also afraid that it would be painful. After 2 months, I realize that this couldn’t be further from the truth. I’m so glad I went to see Ziad because now I am pain free. Last week, my brother and I competed in a CrossFit competition and won first place. I can honestly say that Ziad had a big part in that for the both of us.

Thank you Ziad for providing such great care!

I found Ignite in the middle of the pandemic, a few months post ACL repair and a femoral osteotomy. What horrible timing for the world to shut down and not view PT as an essential line of business. Fortunately, the lovely IG algorithms were working in my favor, and must have been reading my mind, when Ziad stumbled into my newsfeed.

After some quick research, I decided it was time to take the leap of faith and commit to a virtual PT with a defined plan. It was a match made in virtual heaven. Ziad really took the time to assess where I was in my stage of recovery and designed a plan that truly worked for me and my lifestyle! His hands on approach and deep desire to help you as an individual has helped me experience a substantial amount of growth and increased my confidence in my left (not bad) leg. With Ziad, you are not just a number on his books. He is committed to you, your well-being, your progress and goals. With the help of Ignite & Ziad, I feel better than I have in years!
