About Ahil

From personal pain to professional healing

For more than seven years, Ahil Ganesan has worked with people from all walks of life, from desk-bound professionals to athletes, who come to him with back, neck and shoulder pain, sports injuries, fatigue, and digestive and stress-related concerns.

Ahil’s Story

Two worlds of medicine,
one practice

Ahil grew up between two worlds of medicine. His mother is a General Practitioner; his father, a lifelong advocate for natural medicine. Conversations at home moved easily between blood tests and herbal teas, and the idea that the two could work together took root early.

In his own life, that idea became personal. Ahil lived with a long-term illness and persistent neck and shoulder pain, and at times a short walk was enough to leave him housebound for days. That experience gave him a patient’s understanding of persistent pain and fatigue, and of the patience care can take.

The experience set his direction: a Bachelor of Health Science and a Bachelor of Traditional Chinese Medicine, followed by years in busy clinics in Bondi and Matraville, treating desk-bound professionals, athletes and everyone in between.

Today Ahil practises from Project Dao in Alexandria, combining acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine and naturopathy in one coordinated approach: the same meeting of two worlds he grew up with.
