Physiotherapy

Evidence‑informed rehab to reduce pain, restore movement, and build resilient strength personalised and coordinated with your care plan.

Physiotherapy at Atmabodh blends modern rehabilitation science with our integrative approach (Ayurveda, Yoga Therapy, Acupuncture as needed). Each plan is tailored after a thorough assessment and progresses at a pace that respects your pain, capacity, and goals.

Physiotherapy supports recovery and function. It does not replace medical diagnosis or emergency care. Please follow your doctor’s advice regarding imaging, medicines, and red‑flag symptoms.

Why choose Physiotherapy at Atmabodh?

• Clinician‑led assessment with clear goals, baselines, and measurable outcomes.
• Personalised loading: graded strength, mobility, and motor‑control work—never one‑size‑fits‑all.
• Pain‑aware progressions using the latest principles of tissue healing and pain science education.
• Integrative options (when appropriate): Yoga Therapy for breath/posture, Acupuncture/Acupressure for symptom relief, Ayurvedic therapies for comfort and recovery.
• Transparent plan: session roadmap, home program, and check‑ins to track progress.

Who can benefit?

• Spine: neck strain, cervical spondylosis, thoracic tightness, low‑back pain, sciatica‑like symptoms.
• Upper limb: shoulder impingement/frozen shoulder, rotator cuff tendinopathy, tennis/golfer’s elbow, wrist/hand overuse.
• Lower limb: knee OA/patello‑femoral pain, meniscus/ligament rehab (post‑clearance), shin/ankle/heel pain, plantar fasciopathy.
• Post‑operative: joint replacement, arthroscopy, tendon repair—protocol‑based rehab.
• Sports & overuse: return‑to‑run/lift, load management, technique retraining.
• Neurological (stable/mild): balance, coordination, gait re‑education (post‑medical clearance).
• Cardio‑respiratory: deconditioning, breathing pattern retraining, post‑illness re‑conditioning.
• Women’s health: pelvic floor basics, posture and core after childbirth (timing‑aware, doctor‑guided).
• Seniors: falls prevention, mobility confidence, arthritis self‑management.

Suitability, pace, and goals are highly individual; red‑flag screening is routine.

What happens in your assessment?

• Subjective history: pain story, aggravators/easers, goals, medical/surgical history, work/sport demands.
• Objective tests: posture, functional movement, range of motion, strength/endurance, balance, neuro screen, special tests as needed.
• Movement analysis: gait, squat/hinge/push/pull patterns, breath mechanics.
• Plan & education: diagnosis/working hypothesis in plain language, expected timelines, do’s & don’ts.

Treatment pillars (what we use)

• Therapeutic exercise: mobility, isometrics, eccentric/concentric strength, power and endurance progressions.
• Manual therapy: joint mobilisations (Grades I–IV), soft‑tissue/myofascial release, muscle energy techniques.
• Neuromuscular control: motor retraining, proprioception, balance, perturbation drills.
• Posture & ergonomics: desk setup, lifting mechanics, activity modification strategies.
• Breathing mechanics: diaphragm‑led patterns for trunk stability and down‑regulation.
• Pain science education: pacing, flare‑up planning, safe loading principles.
• Adjunct modalities (as indicated): heat/cold, TENS/IFC, ultrasound, cupping, kinesiology taping.

Techniques are selected for your case; not all methods are used for everyone.

Session flow & frequency

• Typical visit: 45–60 minutes (first session may take longer).
• Frequency: often 1–2×/week initially; tapered as self‑management improves.
• Home program: concise set (10–20 minutes/day) with clear progressions.

Progress markers you’ll track

• Pain intensity/irritability trends and flare‑up frequency.
• Range of motion and functional tests (e.g., sit‑to‑stand, single‑leg balance, step‑down).
• Strength milestones (e.g., hold times, reps, external load tolerance).
• Return‑to‑activity targets (walk/jog distance, work tolerance, ADLs without pain).
• Confidence and self‑efficacy scores.

Safety & contraindications

• Immediate medical review for red flags: unexplained weight loss/fever, new neurological deficits, severe unremitting night pain, trauma with suspected fracture, DVT signs, acute infection, uncontrolled cardiorespiratory symptoms.
• Relative precautions: pregnancy (positioning), osteoporosis, uncontrolled diabetes/BP, anticoagulants, recent surgery plan is modified and doctor‑coordinated.
• Medication: continue as prescribed; we do not alter medicines.

Your first visit – please bring

• Imaging/reports (X‑ray/MRI/USG) and surgical notes if applicable.
• Current medication list and any braces/orthotics you use.
• Footwear you walk/run in; short video of your activity can help.
