- One of the best experiences ever. After sailing a yacht from London to Saudi Arabia, I put my body through it's paces. Returning home to London I was recommended to visit Dr. Dhiya and it has been a great experience, the procedures I had were, electronic acupuncture and Hijama.
- TRANSFORMATIVE Seriously somewhere to go. I'm very happy
- I had chronic back pain. I tried Dr Houssien’s laser acupuncture. He was very patient and listened to my history. Despite this back and knee pain being a chronic, long standing issue, his treatment offered a rapid relief. It’s the first time I’ve heard about this treatment.
