The chief consultant will then perform the objective evaluation which may include some of the following: Generally you will be asked to do a provocative movement or task to reproduce your symptoms. For example, if you have a problem with your feet, knees, hips or lower back, we usually ask to watch you walk. A great deal can be learned, just watching you get up from a chair and walk along a corridor.
After this our chief consultant will assess specific areas (e.g. knee), check the range of movements, the stability, look for swelling, temperature changes and identify the structures which are causing your pain. With the information gained from both your history and physical examination a physical diagnosis is made.
Having ascertained the cause of your problem, your diagnosis and prognosis will be explained to you and treatment started if you are happy to proceed.
This is followed by a plan which includes
-
- The type of treatment plan for you.

Short-term/long-term goals, and what is expected after discharge from therapy. This plan is created from input from you.

Why is physical therapy a good choice?
More than half of all the people in India are suffering from pain. Whether it is a recent episode or chronic. However, many do not even know that physical therapists are well equipped to not only treat pain but also its source.
Physical therapists are experts at treating movement and Neuro-musculoskeletal disorders. Pain often accompanies a movement disorder, and physical therapists can help correct the disorder and relieve the pain.
Moreover physiotherapy treatment does not have any side effects it’s beneficial in all aspects. And it designs the exercise regime which keeps the patient fit and promotes health. It’s a combination of Exercise therapy and Electrotherapy that gives fastest results to resume the patient routine back to near normal state.

Who will treat me?
You will be treated by one of our licensed and highly trained Physical therapists under guidance and supervision of Chief consultant Dr. Sanjay Bakhshi . Unlike some clinics, where you see someone different each visit, we feel it is very important to develop a one-on-one relationship with you to maintain continuity of care. This approach makes the staff own the patient and thus strive to achieve the desired results. There is completely no changing of hands with the patient and Dr Bakhshi himself monitors the progress of the patient.
What will I have to do after physical therapy?
Some patients will need to continue with home exercises. Some may choose to continue with a gym exercise program. Others will complete their rehabilitation and return to normal daily activities. Thus it differs from patient to patient so It is important that you communicate your goals to us, so we can develop a custom program for you.
