Physical therapy consists of a combination of techniques that are used according to the needs of the patient. The most common and effective techniques used by our clinic are the following :

Manual therapy

These techniques are hands-on, focusing on improving joint mobility, reducing muscle tension, and relieving stiffness. It is generally used to treat spinal issues, sports injuries and to enhance mobility in affected areas.

Exercise therapy

These exercises are not generic, they are corrective exercises that are designed for specific issues and play a vital role in physiotherapy. They improve flexibility, strength, coordination and movement.

Soft tissue therapy

This therapy technique is majorly used to treat muscle tightness and improve the circulation in the body. It reduces discomfort drastically and gives speedy results and relaxation.

Posture and movement correction

Poor posture can affect your body’s tissues in many ways, and so can imbalances in movement. Fixing these issues early on prevents further stress on your muscles and joints. An assessment of biomechanics is carried out by our professionals to provide targeted strategies.

Sports rehabilitation

We specialize in treating athletes as they often require physical therapy according to the demands of their particular sport. Athletes who are recovering from injuries can be treated with tailored strategies to regain their mobility, strength, stability and performance.

IMS/ dry needling

It is a technique where the physical therapist inserts very thin needles into muscles, or trigger points where there are issues or ache. IMS, which stands for intramuscular stimulation, is especially used to treat nerve and muscle-related problems.

Vestibular therapy

This therapy targets the vestibular system (the balance organ) present in the inner ear and is connected to the brain. This is efficient in treating vertigo, balance problems etc.

Cupping therapy

Cupping technique entails the use of cups which are placed on the body to create suction. The suction then pulls the skin upwards, which pulls tissues too. This helps in increasing blood flow and the relaxation of muscles.
