FFITT Health in Hadley

Great physical therapy that got me back to running from an injury. Listened to my needs and goals to help get me back on track. Would attend again.

I had the blessing of meeting Dr. Efosa while he was in Guatemala. He was a game changer for my development as an athlete but he also became a friend who truly wishes the best for those who are around him. On a professional level Dr. Efosa is very knowledgeable and someone I can trust blindfolded, I highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their performance and health.

Efosa is a phenomenal practitioner and unlike most PT’s I’ve experienced in the past. He not only takes his time working with you, but teaches you about the interconnections of bones & muscles and works out a holistic program of exercises to do on your own. He is intelligent, kind and genuinely interested in doing his best for you. He is very willing to work with you to contour a program that fits your needs and lifestyle, and has an abundance of tools, techniques and options to present. I felt great improvement in my hip and back pain after just a few visits, and more extended care has taken me to the next level. I wholeheartedly recommend Efosa to anyone dealing with acute or chronic pain. He is a gem.

If you're looking for a physical therapist who will work hard to make sure you have the best personalized care, go to Efosa! Efosa is not only an exceptional physical therapist but also a remarkable individual. He consistently communicated with me throughout every step of the process, ensuring I understood not just what we were doing, but also why we were doing it. I truly value his collaborative approach to physical therapy, where it feels like we are solving problems together. An added bonus to working with Efosa is the wonderful conversations about everything from life's passions to daily joys. Thank you, Efosa, for providing such a holistic and enriching therapy experience!

Dr. Guobadia is one of the most professional doctors I have ever met. Recently, my back seized up, and I could hardly move—it was difficult to stand, walk, or even sit. On top of that, I was pregnant. Dr. Guobadia conducted a thorough examination, explained in detail what had happened and what I would do to address it. He performed the necessary procedure, created a customized exercise program specifically for my case, demonstrated the correct way to perform the exercises, and even watched me do them to make adjustments. This gave me confidence that I was doing everything correctly. After just the first visit, I felt significantly better and was able to sit for a couple of hours. After the second session, the pain had almost completely disappeared. Dr. Guobadia regularly followed up on my recovery progress and offered helpful advice. I have never encountered such an attentive, empathetic, and results-driven physician. Dr. Guobadia had me back on my feet within just a few days. Moreover, he developed a personalized exercise program to strengthen the necessary muscles, which I still practice to this day. It has been especially beneficial as I now care for a newborn, which puts a considerable strain on my back. I am incredibly grateful to Dr. Guobadia for his professionalism, personalized care, and attentive approach! You won’t find a better physical therapist—he truly has golden hands!

A over the summer I was suffering from back ache and mild siatica. Efoasa at FFITT Health was able to diagnose my symptoms over video and gave me a series of workouts to perform daily. After only 3 weeks I started to notice a significat difference in my strength and all my pain went away. Efosa is caring and wonderful to work with. He really knows his stuff. After 4 months I still no pain and have been stronger ever since. I really appricate him and all his efforts for giving me a pain free life.

My experience with Efosa was truly life-changing. For 10 years, I struggled with shoulder and ankle pain—my ankle hurt after running, and my shoulder pain made lifting my arm unbearable. After previous physical therapy attempts failed, I had accepted these limitations as my “new normal” and stopped doing activities I loved. Working with Efosa, I noticed improvement within the first month. After three months, I’m pain-free, running, walking, and lifting weights overhead again. I’m thrilled to return to the activities I thought I’d lost as I approach my 40s.

I first met Dr. Efosa Guobadia when I needed physical therapy following a skiing accident. I have continued to work with him after having had rotator cuff surgery for this accident. When I first met him, Efosa was working with a physical therapy company with multiple locations in the region. He immediately made me feel comfortable with his professionalism, genuine friendliness and questions concerning my physical therapy needs. Communication has been an important aspect of working with Efosa from the first day, as he has emphasized the need for this, as well as collaboration with me, to maximize positive results. When Efosa branched out on his own to start FFITT, his physical therapy company, I knew that I would do everything I could to continue working with him, including paying a new deductible for starting with a “new provider.” That’s how important it was for me to continue working with him. Efosa combines everything I could want from a physical therapist. He has the highest level of education concerning the practice of physical therapy, and has prioritized my personal goals in developing and working on a program with me. He conveys a clear sense of investment in my progress, goals and well-being. My physical rehabilitation progress and success genuinely matters to him, because that’s the type of caring person he is. In working with him, I learned that Efosa goes all over the world, providing physical therapy in countries and areas that need this service. He is conscientious, kind, knowledgeable and principled. Not to mention a pleasure to talk to and interact with over the course of our sessions. I simply can’t recommend Efosa Guobadia highly enough. As I continue to work with him, I can see my own progress - I am healing and can feel myself returning to good physical form, strength and flexibility, thanks to working with Efosa. He is the best, and I feel very fortunate to have met him and to be working with him. Joel Acker Amherst, MA
