### Active Rehabilitation & Mobility Session

Focused 45-minute active recovery session using wall bars, bosu balls, and resistance bands to restore strength and range of motion post-injury.

Typically ₹800-1,100 per session (estimate)

#### Functional Rehabilitation
*   **Proprioception & Balance:** Usage of unstable surfaces like Bosu Balls and Balance Boards to retrain ankle and knee stability.
*   **Strength & Conditioning:** Resistance training using TheraBands, Dumbbells, and Weight Cuffs to strengthen atrophied muscles.
*   **Ladder & Wall Exercises:** Utilization of the clinic's wall mounted stall bars for assisted stretching and overhead mobility work.

#### Manual Mobility Correction
*   **Passive Stretching:** Therapist assisted stretching to push joints beyond their stiffness barrier, often required for post fracture recovery.
*   **Gait Training:** Correcting walking patterns for patients with flat feet or knee osteoarthritis.

#### Education & Planning
*   **Form Correction:** Real time correction of exercise posture to ensure load is on the muscle, not the joint.
*   **Progressive Loading:** A structured roadmap to increase exercise intensity week by week.

### Initial Assessment & Pain Relief Combo

Bundles a 20-30 minute manual spinal diagnosis with immediate chiropractic adjustments and unlimited vacuum cupping for acute pain relief.

Typically ₹1,100-1,300 per session (estimate)

#### Comprehensive Root Cause Diagnosis
*   **Full Body Assessment:** A 20 to 30 minute manual palpation check up where the therapist physically examines the spine and joints to find hidden knots rather than relying solely on X-rays.
*   **Biomechanical Screening:** Visual assessment of gait, posture, and functional movement to identify muscle imbalances.

#### Manual & Manipulative Therapy
*   **Chiropractic Adjustment:** Targeted High Velocity Low Amplitude (HVLA) thrusts focused on the Neck and Back to release gas from facet joints and improve mobility.
*   **Functional Dry Cupping:** Application of vacuum suction cups on stiff muscle groups like traps or lower back to release myofascial tightness. Includes unlimited cups as per the treated area requirement.

#### Post Treatment Guidance
*   **Personalized Exercise Prescription:** A specific set of home exercises tailored to the diagnosis (e.g., Cat-Camel for mobility) rather than generic stretching advice.

### Advanced Deep Tissue & Needling Therapy

Intensive treatment for chronic issues utilizing sterile dry needling, instrument-assisted scraping (IASTM), and Mulligan belt mobilization techniques.

Typically ₹1,400-1,800 per session (estimate)

#### Invasive Soft Tissue Release
*   **Dry Needling Therapy:** Insertion of sterile, single use filiform needles into myofascial trigger points (e.g., Trapezius, Glutes) to release deep muscle spasms.
*   **Safety Protocols:** Includes strict skin sanitization with alcohol swabs and safe biohazard disposal of sharps.

#### Advanced Manual Therapy
*   **Deep Tissue Release:** Intensive hands-on myofascial release using knuckles or elbows to break down scar tissue in tight muscles.
*   **Joint Mobilization:** Use of a Mulligan mobilization belt to apply pain free gliding force to joints like the Shoulder or Hip to restore range of motion.
*   **IASTM:** Usage of stainless steel Graston style tools to scrape and release fascia if manual pressure is insufficient.

#### Structural Support
*   **Kinesiology Taping:** Application of elastic therapeutic tape to support weak muscles and reduce inflammation post treatment.

## About Orthopedic Physiotherapy & Pain Management

Getting you moving again is the main thing that drives me. I don’t believe in just putting you on a machine and walking away. Here, we figure out why you’re in pain, not just where it hurts.

### What Happens in My Clinic

- I always start with a deep-dive assessment to get to the real cause of your pain. Sometimes, back pain isn’t from your back! Weak glutes, tight hamstrings, poor hip movement - sab kuch linked hai (everything is connected).
- I’ll actually sit with you, explain your MRI or X-rays, and make sure you know exactly what’s going on. No medical jargon, just straight talk.
- Stop Googling random exercises. Your pain is unique, and so should be your recovery plan.

### How I Treat

- Manual therapy is my go-to. With hands-on work, I break up stiffness, restore movement, and help you feel better for real. Machines are just tools, not the main thing.
- I use spinal adjustments sometimes, but only if it’s safe for you. For things like slip disc or shoulder issues, I prefer gentle mobilizations.
- Depending on your problem, I also do dry needling, cupping, or use special tools for muscle release.

### Conditions I See Often

- Longstanding back and neck pain - like slip disc, spondylosis, sciatica, postural aches from work-from-home life.
- Shoulder pain, frozen shoulder, gym injuries.
- Knee pain, ligament issues, arthritis, joint stiffness after a fracture.

### Your Homework

Manual therapy and adjustments give you relief, but lasting change comes from the right exercise. No shortcut. I’ll design a plan and show you each move - but you gotta do them! Aur haan, bas dawai mat maango (and yes, don’t just ask for medicine). Let’s fix this together, the proper way.

- [Video: This is the power of correct physiotherapy. This patient was in so much pain from a disc issue that two people had to carry him into my clinic. After just five sessions of targeted manual therapy and a personalized exercise plan, he's walking on his own. We don't just mask the pain; we find the root cause and fix it.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/cb1ef793-8e66-4715-89ad-8b9736f17b87)
- [Video: Many people think physiotherapy is just about cracking joints. That's a huge myth. This patient came with a severe disc extrusion and a shifted spine. Chiropractic adjustments were completely contraindicated. Instead, we used a combination of dry needling, manual muscle release, and a lot of specific exercises to get him moving pain-free. It’s about the right treatment for the right problem.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/35699d6d-9966-43a7-ab3a-5460344f9ec6)
- [Video: Here I'm assessing a patient with knee pain that started 15 days ago. A proper diagnosis is everything. We found that the cartilage under his kneecap was wearing down, causing pain and swelling. After just one session of needling, cupping, and patellar mobilization, he felt a huge difference. Early and correct intervention is key.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/98244df1-952a-4bd3-95ad-d52f6eb2e05d)
- [Video: This is a classic case of frozen shoulder. You can see the "before" where his movement was severely restricted. After just one session focusing on manual therapy and specialized mobilizations, his range of motion improved significantly. We don't just rely on machines; hands-on work is what creates real, lasting change.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/1b51b0a3-93f9-4ed0-af54-6fbc28f6d3a2)
- [Video: A patient came to me after another doctor told her to stop almost all daily activities for her back pain, even at 27 years old. This is wrong advice. Rest is not a cure. My approach is to find the cause, provide relief with manual therapy, and then build strength with the right exercises so you can get back to living your life, not avoiding it.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/b5e74a9f-fde4-4bf5-a228-d86e55496963)
- [Video: This patient was terrified when she first came to me with severe back pain. She couldn't sleep, sit, or bend. After nine sessions, without any painkillers, she is smiling and satisfied. Hearing her say she's happy and can now take care of her kids is why I do what I do.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/cdf96f4d-1e00-421b-a1f5-de73ade146cc)
- [Video: Back pain isn't always about the disc. This patient's pain was from sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction. Here, you can see me performing dry needling and manual therapy specifically on the SI joint and surrounding ligaments. A pinpoint diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment; otherwise, you're just chasing symptoms.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/6a554dc2-cd7d-49a5-bd90-c4d5dcdfd70c)

### [Back & Neck Pain: Finding the Real Cause](https://mytribe.in/ace_of_spine/orthopedic-physiotherapy-pain-management/back-neck-pain-finding-the-real-cause)

- [Video: This is why a proper exercise plan is crucial. For lower back pain from a disc bulge, exercises like the cobra pose can actually increase pressure and make it worse. I teach safer, more effective core exercises like the quadruped leg extension to build stability without causing harm.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/53118413-f362-465a-b956-d3149d5d6f7a)
- [Video: This patient's lower back pain was actually caused by a tight hip. After identifying the restricted right hip rotation, I used dry needling and IASTM to release the tight muscles, followed by hip opening exercises. The pain is not always where the problem is.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/a781eb44-ce3a-4af9-8836-da89ee5fa28a)
- [Video: For acute slip disc, I avoid extreme extension exercises and traction, which can worsen the condition. Instead, I focus on core strengthening with exercises like planks and glute activation with clamshells. This builds a strong foundation for recovery.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/093936d9-5e17-468c-bb21-f0018f84d189)
- [Video: Your spine works as a whole. To fix neck pain, you can't just do neck exercises. I always train the mid-back, lower back, and core muscles. Strengthening the rhomboids and serratus anterior is key to controlling the scapula and improving overall spinal health.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/85eed62f-5725-464e-9d91-55698becd916)
- [Video: This patient, a regular cyclist, came to me unable to walk straight due to a disc issue. Just doing one type of activity isn't enough for overall fitness. A physiotherapist can assess your lifestyle and prescribe the specific mobility and strength exercises you need to prevent such injuries.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/bb1f4f69-c888-4ba6-a2de-252268e2022e)
- [Video: This patient's back pain was a direct result of extremely tight hamstrings, which you can see from the shivering when he tries to lift his leg. We focused on exercise therapy to improve his flexibility and strength, and his pain is much better in just a few sessions.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/31bcc402-dc49-4f69-9768-1d5cc5f7b751)
- [Video: This patient has a severe disc extrusion causing lumbar canal stenosis, leading to a burning sensation and muscle weakness in her leg. In such cases, we use classic physiotherapy, including electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) and resisted exercises, to rebuild muscle tone and strength.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/9353250a-f7f0-4ea0-ad6a-fb42e8b0911a)
- [Video: This patient's back pain was caused by tight hip flexors. I'm using the Thomas test to demonstrate the tightness. The lifted leg and outward rotation of the foot are clear signs. We then work on releasing these muscles to relieve the strain on the lower back.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/5aff2183-12d2-4e4b-944a-d4187c466123)
- [Video: This video explains the concept of pain centralization. When radiating leg pain from a slip disc starts to move back and localize in the lower back, it's a positive sign of improvement. We then progress to strengthening the back extensors, glutes, and hamstrings.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/49944139-d111-4b85-ad71-6248d253cf51)
- [Video: This 22-year-old's spine curvature completely reversed due to bad posture and a gym injury. This is a serious case that developed over time. It's why I always say, get your posture assessed by a physio before starting a fitness journey to avoid long-term damage.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/6ff08e35-4b03-4c28-b7b7-6ed11bbee72f)
- [Video: This patient's back pain was a result of post-pregnancy core weakness, which caused her spine to curve inwards (hyperlordosis). It's crucial for new mothers to do post-pregnancy exercises to strengthen their abdominals and prevent future back and hip problems.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/1b3ac266-c134-40bc-a266-dacf1584984d)
- [Video: This patient's back and buttock pain was from his long-standing job. After nine sessions, he is 80% better. For people with standing jobs, it's important to change positions frequently and do small stretches to prevent muscle stiffness.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/737f1cc7-f70c-4175-b977-810472326d26)

### [Knee, Ankle & Foot: Rebuilding from the Ground Up](https://mytribe.in/ace_of_spine/orthopedic-physiotherapy-pain-management/knee-ankle-foot-rebuilding-from-the-ground-up)

- [Video: This is part of a talus fracture rehabilitation. After a fracture, it's crucial to activate the surrounding muscles like the quadriceps and hamstrings. We don't start weight-bearing until these supporting muscles are strong enough to prevent re-injury.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/0fce43f1-fc74-4a87-8137-3d58e43460e3)
- [Video: For this talus fracture case, we are focusing on glute activation with bridging exercises. Weak glutes on the injured side are common. I tell patients to squeeze their buttocks throughout the day to re-activate the muscle, which is a simple but very effective technique.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/d8fedeb5-e89e-43ac-a1f2-d48e3f98f33f)
- [Video: This is the day one protocol for a comminuted talus fracture. We start by gently mobilizing the adjacent joints like the toes (phalanges) to reduce swelling. We also begin strengthening the uninjured leg and the hip and thigh muscles of the injured leg right away.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/33d68342-1a7a-4a43-b971-9ed32a196fa4)
- [Video: The power of consistency. This patient was struggling with a single-leg sit-to-stand after a knee injury. With encouragement and consistent exercise, you can see his amazing progress in just four days, performing the move without support.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/2e25c651-24cd-40c4-a2ed-4aff2d650628)
- [Video: A 14-year-old came in with a knee injury. We used a combination of dry needling to promote healing and cupping therapy to increase blood flow. Within three sessions, he was much better.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/90d572d4-01ac-4240-9cc2-af527acbde64)
- [Video: This patient spent a lot of money on different shoes thinking they were the cause of his foot pain. The real issue was his high-arched foot. A proper assessment can find the root cause, and in this case, custom insoles and specific exercises are the solution.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/84f4dce6-7c6e-4c04-90b4-7372541b9d27)
- [Video: For this patient with knee osteoarthritis (OA), I'm performing patellar mobilizations and tibial-femoral glides to improve joint space and movement. We also do VMO activation exercises to strengthen the inner quad muscle, which is crucial for knee stability.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/a4d507f0-5cbf-4d64-aaf9-0546e5c90623)
- [Video: This 12-year-old boy had difficulty climbing stairs due to weak lower limbs and flat feet. A sedentary lifestyle is causing these problems in children. It's vital to enroll them in physical activities to ensure proper musculoskeletal development.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/ab60d45e-c52d-4055-878e-48ed650fafcd)
- [Video: This is a shocking case. A patient with grade three osteoarthritis in both knees, yet he had no pain until two days ago because his muscle strength was so high from years of running and wrestling. This proves that strong muscles can protect your joints for a long time.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/89ac8e28-b9f0-4a33-bb17-caefdddd4979)
- [Video: This is an advanced knee rehabilitation exercise. The patient is performing balance and coordination training on an unstable surface. After the initial pain is gone, we challenge the knee in stressful conditions to prepare it for daily life and prevent future injuries.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/1d01af45-5540-4263-bf2d-c6b1af6bbf30)
- [Video: This is day two of rehab for a patient with a knee injury. We are doing hip mobilizations and squats with theraband resistance. His knee movement is already much better because we focus on manual therapy and a personalized exercise plan from day one.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/68921ac8-58e9-41d2-87f4-d6d526825bfa)
- [Video: This is a rare case of psoriatic arthritis. The patient came with heel pain, but we found degeneration in his ankle and knee joints. We are using mobilization techniques and a lot of strength training to manage his condition and maintain his mobility.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/4f8f4b2e-e133-4bec-a118-5c9f7e448fb9)

### [Shoulder & Elbow: Restoring Full Range of Motion](https://mytribe.in/ace_of_spine/orthopedic-physiotherapy-pain-management/shoulder-elbow-restoring-full-range-of-motion)

- [Video: This is post-arthroscopic surgery rehabilitation for a shoulder. In older patients with multiple issues like tendinosis, surgery is sometimes the best option. Here, on the very first day, we are starting with gentle active movements and ultrasound to manage inflammation.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/9b9a1a3a-1fb7-44a9-b954-5c5fa53b1be5)
- [Video: Many patients wonder why I work on their back when their shoulder hurts. The shoulder is a complex of four joints, and the muscles that move it, like the rotator cuff, originate from the back. To fix shoulder pain, we must treat the entire system, not just the point of pain.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/607f6d76-8c22-42b3-a763-a1cadd04b1e9)

After every session, I reassess the patient's movement to track progress.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/ae9400d2-0038-430a-8530-5f39a7f2c77e)
- [Video: This patient was frustrated with physiotherapy that only used machines. He wanted a "crack" to fix his shoulder. I convinced him to try one session of my manual therapy, using Mulligan belts for glides. He was amazed by the results. Real physiotherapy is hands-on.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/597384a8-a7f9-483d-b7c2-a4f41a316aa4)
- [Video: For frozen shoulder, once we gain some movement, we need to start overhead exercises. Here, I'm using a TheraBand on a ladder to assist the patient in lifting her arm. This modifies the exercise to her current ability and helps in scapular retraction.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/2af892a9-082c-4363-b8f8-8ae02bef105d)
- [Video: This patient with shoulder pain has cupping marks all over his back. I'm performing manual release on his teres major and minor muscles. A combination of dry needling, manual therapy, and corrective exercises works wonders for gym-related shoulder injuries.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/442feb94-0a2f-4521-a0d1-05f848e15b5e)
- [Video: Can your sitting job cause shoulder pain? Absolutely. This patient developed rounded shoulders from his desk job, which led to tight pec and subscapularis muscles and restricted internal rotation.

## Meet your expert

### 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.
