## About Neurological Rehabilitation

### My Approach: No Machines, Just Movement

I’m Shruti, and I believe neurological rehabilitation isn’t about hooking you up to machines. Real recovery starts with movement. I dig deep for the root cause—because *zaroori nahi hai* (it’s not necessary) that pain is where the problem is. Pin-point diagnosis means your rehab plan actually fits you.

### Rewiring Your Brain, Restoring Function

I use neuroplasticity therapy to help your brain form new pathways. This isn’t just about moving a limb, but about getting your independence and confidence back. I want you to feel like yourself again, not just “better.”

### Conditions I Treat Most Often

- Stroke physiotherapy exercises for hemiparesis or full limb paralysis, including practical skills like walking and stairs.
- Foot drop rehabilitation, especially from nerve injuries or disc problems—even if you can’t feel your limb right now.
- Cervical myelopathy exercises for spinal cord compression that weakens hands and feet.
- Carpal tunnel physiotherapy for nerve entrapment, numbness, and *jhanjhanahat* (pins-and-needles).

### My Treatment Style

Manual therapy, personalized exercise plans, and hands-on mobilization are my go-to. Sometimes I use EMS to wake up weak muscles. If needed, I add dry needling, cupping, or taping to help you move better and ease pain.

### What Recovery Feels Like

Neurological rehab takes patience and consistency. Some days you’ll feel stuck, but I’m here to cheer you on. No shortcuts, no magic pills, and *dawai mat mangna* (don’t ask for medicine). *Bas, exercises karo* (just do the exercises), and we’ll get there together.

- [Video: This is what real recovery looks like. I'm guiding a stroke survivor through stair climbing, a vital skill for regaining independence. My neuro-rehabilitation approach focuses on functional movements and neuroplasticity to help the brain rewire itself, transforming a patient's life one step at a time.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/53bc0956-e8d4-4a85-9133-1c4609f10a10)
- [Video: A patient came to me with back pain after another doctor told her to stop almost all daily activities. This is wrong advice. I explain why restricting movement can worsen the problem and how my approach focuses on strengthening and gradual re-introduction of activities for long term back pain relief.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/b5e74a9f-fde4-4bf5-a228-d86e55496963)
- [Video: This case shows why a pin-point diagnosis is everything. A patient came for tennis elbow, but I suspected the root cause was her neck. An X-ray confirmed cervical spondylosis. Treating the source, not just the symptom, is the key to effective physiotherapy.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/14cbd2e2-999e-42b6-a205-04a93ce73d59)
- [Video: Here, I'm using an Electrical Muscle Stimulator (EMS) with a pen electrode to treat foot drop. This technique helps reactivate the affected nerves and muscles, like the tibialis anterior, to restore movement. This is a crucial part of neurological rehabilitation for nerve injuries.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/dcf86b21-f837-4c42-88c7-eb079997da02)
- [Video: This patient suffered from headaches and sleeplessness for years, relying on daily medication. After just one session focusing on her cervical spine, the root cause of her pain, she was able to stop her medication. This shows how neck issues can cause referred pain like cervicogenic headaches.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/c6c15974-db61-4b51-876b-363704cc324c)
- [Video: This patient had been suffering from hand numbness and pain for 15 years, a classic case of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. I'm using electric dry needling to stimulate the median nerve and release the forearm muscles. Even chronic conditions can see significant improvement with the right advanced physiotherapy techniques.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/68e22d31-fe8e-4b21-9ab9-287c26777bf0)
- [Video: This patient, a cancer survivor, developed winging of the scapula due to nerve damage post-surgery, which was overlooked by his doctors. Quality of life matters. My focus is not just on treating the immediate pain but restoring full function, like helping this right-handed person use his arm again.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/36f580d6-bd0d-4491-bd29-198a44739447)
- [Video: This patient came to me unable to walk and is now climbing stairs after just a few sessions. When people online called it fake, she spoke up herself. This is a real patient testimonial showing the rapid results possible when we address the root cause of knee and back pain.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/f01f6f77-95fe-42a4-86b6-74124397c0c7)

## Meet your expert

[Shruti Raj](https://mytribe.in/ace_of_spine)

### My story

Hi, we’re Ace of Spine. Physiotherapy isn’t just machines and quick fixes, yaar. We’ve seen folks come in thinking one ‘chatka’ (crack) sorts everything. Nahi hota aisa. Once, a cancer survivor lost use of his arm because no one cared about his shoulder after surgery. That’s why we fight for real recovery, not just survival. Patients sometimes don’t respect our work, but seeing someone walk pain-free again? Worth it. We deal with pain too, and use our own knowledge to heal. Trust thoda zaroori hai (trust is important), we genuinely care.

### My work

- **What we treat**: Physiotherapy, chiropractic adjustments, manual therapy, rehab for back pain, frozen shoulder, ACL injuries, stroke, sports injuries.
- **How we work**: No just machines. We use manual frozen shoulder treatment, mobilizations, root-cause pain therapy, and exercises for real results.
- **Chiropractic done right**: We don’t crack everything. Chiropractic is for spine only, and only when it’s safe. Don’t fall for magic fix claims.
- **Exercise is medicine**: Clinic therapy helps, but if you skip your ACL rehabilitation exercises at home, improvement won’t happen. Consistency matters.
- **Diagnosis first**: Proper tests like X-ray or MRI before starting post-surgery physiotherapy. No guessing, only safe and effective treatment.
