What is Physiotherapy?

Physio helping patient in a swimming pool With more moving parts than any other machine, it is not surprising that your body occasionally cries out in pain or refuses to do what you tell it. There are hundreds of different muscles and joints that can go wrong.

Fortunately, there is an effective way to treat many of the problems you may experience – physiotherapy.

Physiotherapy uses a variety of techniques to help your muscles and joints work to their full potential, helping to repair damage by speeding up the healing process and reducing pain and stiffness.
Physiotherapists also have an important role in rehabilitation, such as helping people who have had strokes to relearn basic movements.
Physiotherapists do not simply offer treatment - their advice can help you prevent problems returning or even happening in the first place.
Physiotherapy may be of benefit to everyone from infancy to extreme old age.
After Surgery
Many people first encounter a physiotherapist post-operatively, particularly following orthopaedic surgery. An exercise regime and other treatments can greatly assist following a fracture or joint replacement and valuable help with walking or mobilizing a damaged upper limb can also be offered.

People suffering with other musculoskeletal disorders, sports injuries, spinal problems, joint or muscle pain, arthritis, etc. are treated in a variety of ways including exercises, mobilizations, manipulation, hydrotherapy, acupuncture and electrotherapy. Many receive treatment at out patient clinics, while outreach physiotherapists visit people at home if they are unable to travel.

Many other post-operative patients are also greatly aided by physiotherapy. Specialist areas of work include intensive care, high dependency and urology but any surgery requiring a general anaesthetic may adversely affect the respiratory system, so an early visit from a physiotherapist can help prevent chest problems after surgery.

Physiotherapists also work with those with vascular conditions and, when amputation is involved, regular physiotherapy sessions can help all ages to learn to lead normal, active lives with their prosthetic limbs.

Women’s Health
Women can benefit from both advice and treatment during pregnancy and in the early post natal period. Many physiotherapists also participate in parent craft classes in partnership with midwives. In addition, pre- and post-operative advice and exercises can aid recovery following gynecological surgery while specialist advice and treatment can help greatly with incontinence, an embarrassing problem which can affect women of all ages.

Another condition which can benefit from regular physiotherapy is lymphoedema, particularly after breast surgery with treatments such as manual lymphatic drainage, helping with swelling and discomfort.

Other Conditions
Many medical conditions can also benefit from physiotherapy, such as chronic chest problems. Others requiring support include stroke victims, or those experiencing difficulties in walking following an enforced period of bed rest. Many parts of the country have stroke support groups as well as cardiac rehabilitation and pulmonary rehabilitation classes where a physiotherapist will provide a variety of treatment methods, exercise regimes and walking aids plus again much needed advice and encouragement.

Other disabling conditions which can benefit are Multiple Sclerosis, head and spinal injuries, osteoporosis and even neurological disease. In aiming to achieve maximum physical potential for these patients, the physios advise on the management of problems such as pain and muscle spasms.
For some people, physiotherapy is something that happens once in a lifetime; for others it is an ongoing process covering weeks, months and even years. Whether as a pain reliever, a mobilizer or simply an adviser, the physiotherapist has much to offer.

CASE STUDY
A 43-year-old female librarian was referred for physiotherapy with a five month history of right shoulder and arm pain. She reported that each night she was wakened with severe pain ‘like toothache’ and was unable to lie on the shoulder. Any sudden movement caused instant severe pain. Functionally she was unable to put her hand behind her back to fasten her clothing and could not wash or dry her hair, while at work she was unable to reach up to shelves.

Her GP had prescribed a course of anti-inflammatory drugs and sent her for an X-ray, which showed only mild degeneration in her neck and a slight narrowing of the disc space between C5/C6. As the treatment had proved ineffective after one month, he referred her for a physiotherapy assessment. This demonstrated that the patient had a definite Capsulitis (Frozen Shoulder), her pain and limitation of movement following a well-defined and recognized pattern.

A technique called passive mobilizations was used. This is designed to increase the patient ’s shoulder movements while reducing the pain. The physiotherapist moves the arm and shoulder in a way that will stretch the capsule of the shoulder joint with very precise graded movements.

The patient also received heat treatment to soothe the joint and prevent a post-mobilization flare up of pain. In addition, she learned a programme of active exercises to be carried out as often as possible, without causing further trauma to the shoulder.

The importance of performing these exercises was stressed.

The overall purpose of this treatment was to stretch the shrunken capsule to break the adhesion's that have formed.
Once her range of movement was restored and the pain stopped, she was encouraged to begin exercises to strengthen the shoulder and stabilize the shoulder blade, so minimizing any re occurrence.

Treatment of a Frozen Shoulder is just one of the areas in which physiotherapy has an important role to play in equal partnership with the patient, as it is vital that the home exercises are performed diligently.

Best Ways to Ease Knee Pain: 5 Tips from a Physical Therapist - Anand

Nearly everyone has experienced knee pain. Whether it’s caused by arthritis, excessive foot pronation or overuse of the muscles that protect this vulnerable joint, our knees take a knocking. In fact, knee arthritis is the single greatest cause of chronic disability among U.S. adults age 65 and older.

Here’s the good news: Most chronic knee pain is avoidable. New research published in the New England Journal of Medicine suggests that exercise and physical therapy are just as effective as surgery for relief from chronic knee pain related to arthritis. Learning to strengthen and stretch key muscles that support the knees, and other ways to protect and take care of our knees, can ultimately prolong the health of this vital body part.

1. Strengthen your butt

We know from research that knee injuries, including common Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) tears, can occur when large hip muscles are weak. ACL tears, which are eight times more likely in women athletes, have been shown to lead to other cartilage tears and to correlate with knee arthritis later in life.

As a society, our butt muscles are weak. When the main butt muscle (gluteus maximus) is weak, it causes the pelvis to drop and the upper thigh bone (femur) to fall inward. This imbalance creates painful downward stress on the hip, knee and ankle every time you take a step.

Hip extensions are helpful exercises to strengthen the glutes. Learn why and how to properly do hip extensions in both standing and prone position in this clip from the Strong Knees DVD.

2. Stretch the muscles that support your knees

When butt muscles atrophy or become imbalanced because we tend to sit much of the day, the hamstrings and hip adductors (inner thigh muscles) also overwork — to compensate for the underdeveloped gluteus maximus — resulting in compressive force on the knee joint. By stretching out these support muscles, you decrease the chance that they’ll get tight and cause muscle imbalances. So remember the complementary two-fold process: As you strengthen naturally weak muscles like the glutes, also stretch supporting muscles like the inner thigh muscles.

My Strong Knees DVD shows how to do hamstring and hip adductor stretches in both the "7 Minutes to Save Your Knees" segment and the "Stretching" segment.

3. Tone your core muscles

Abdominal weakness will cause your pelvis to tilt forward, creating excessive low-back curvature and shifting the leg bones inward. You can experiment with this yourself: Over-arch your back and notice how your legs and knees want to roll in toward the midline of the body. Then flatten your back and notice how the opposite movement occurs at the legs.

Strengthening the core helps to keep your back in a neutral spine position and places the lower extremities — specifically the knees — in the best possible position for movement without joint compression.

There are so many ways to strengthen your abdominal muscles besides doing crunches. ...

In addition to the core exercises on my Strong Knees DVD, consider Pilates workouts; Pilates was created with a strong emphasis on improving core strength to improve the function of the entire body. Or try fun core workout options like abs ball exercises, an abs routine on a fitness ball, or a core workout with elements of dance, yoga or kickboxing.

4. Maintain a healthy weight

Being overweight makes men five times more likely (and women four times more likely) to develop knee osteoarthritis. New research shows that a 10% decrease in weight will result in a 28% increase in knee function (such as for climbing stairs and walking). Another study found that for every 11 pounds a woman loses, there is a remarkable 50 percent decrease in the risk of knee arthritis.

Why? Fat decreases muscle strength, and excess body weight adds strain to knee joints. In fact, there’s an inverse relationship between body weight and quadriceps muscle strength: the higher your body weight, the weaker your knee muscles.

To start burning those extra calories required for weight loss without adding additional impact to the knees, try water aerobics, an elliptical trainer or cycling (making sure you have proper seat height).

5. Mind your feet

You may look great in three-inch stilettos, but keep in mind that high-heeled shoes increase the compressive force on your knee joints by 23%. Wearing heels also encourages tight calf muscles, another common cause of knee pain. A tight calf can pull the foot inward to a position called pronation, which essentially collapses the arch of the foot and causes the lower leg to roll inward, placing stress on the ankle and knee.

So embrace the flat shoe fashion trend and stretch out those calves. On the flip side, replace your workout sneakers frequently — every 300 miles, which could be three months or a year depending on your level of activity. This is a safe way to avoid wearing a shoe with poor cushioning support for your arches and joints.

Refers to pain located in the foot. There are many things that can create foot pain including broken bones, muscle tears, nerve pain or other soft tissue pain. Our team and Specialist can work with you to decrease your foot pain and get you back on the road of life.

More and more people are facing common foot problems and more serious foot conditions everyday. The human foot is one of the best-engineered parts of the body. Each foot has 33 joints, eight arches, 26 bones, more than a hundred muscles, ligaments, and tendons that all work together to distribute body weight and allow movement. Unfortunately, many people pay no attention to their feet until they start to hurt.

Foot disorders must be diagnosed and treated early, before they become very painful and incapacitating. In some cases, some painful foot abnormalities are already warning signs of even more serious ailments such as diabetes, circulatory disorders, and nerve problems.

Common Ankle Problems:

PLANTAR FASCIITIS – Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. It is due to inflammation of a thick band of tissue called the plantar fascia, which runs across the bottom of the foot, connecting the heel bone to the toes.

ACHILLES TENDON RUPTURE – Achilles tendon rupture is where the large tendon in the back of the ankle ruptures.

ACHILLES TENDINITIS – Achilles tendinitis is a syndrome of irritation of the Achilles tendon in the ankle. The Achilles tendon is the large tendon in the back of the ankle that inserts into the heel bone.

ANKLE SPRAIN - The ankle joint, which connects the foot with the lower leg, is injured often. An unnatural twisting motion can happen when the foot is planted awkwardly, when the ground is uneven, or when an unusual amount of force is applied to the joint.

HAGLUND’S FOOT DEFORMITY – Haglund’s foot deformity is a protrusion of the upper posterolateral calcaneum.

Common Foot and Toes Problems:

BUNION / HALLUX VALGUS - Hallux valgus is a condition when the big toe of the foot called the hallux starts to deviate inward towards the direction of the little toe.

MORTON’S NEUROMA – Morton’s Neuroma is a benign soft tissue mass that forms on the nerve which runs between the metatarsals and the ball of the foot.

PLANTAR WARTS – A plantar warts (also known as “Verruca plantaris”) is a wart caused by the human papillomavirus occurring on the sole or toes of the foot.

INGROWN TOE NAIL – An ingrown toe nail is a painful condition of the toe. It occurs when a sharp corner of the toenail digs into the skin at the end or side of the toe.

ONYCHOLYSIS – Onycholysis is a diseases whose symptoms appear as the separation of the nail plate from the nail bed on your fingers and toes.

FOOT ARCH PAIN- Arch pain, better known in the scientific community as plantar fasciitis, is the term used to describe the burning sensation under the long arches of the feet (arch strain).

CLAW TOE DEFORMITY - Claw toe is a result of the flexor digitorum brevis (attached to the middle bone, also called the middle phalanx) contracting and eventually overpowering all of the toe muscles.

FOOT ARTHRITIS- Foot arthritis is a disorder characterized by the swelling of the joints of the feet. Just like arthritis on another part of the body, it can be painful and debilitating.

FOOT CORNS - Known in the scientific community as ‘helomas,’ foot corns are actually thick skin areas that develop because of too much friction and pressure.

GANGLION CYST - Ganglion cysts are masses of tissues filled with fluid, usually jelly-like.

When do you need to call us about your Foot or Ankle problem?

If you are unsure of the cause of your discomfort, or if you do not know the specific treatment recommendations for your condition, you should seek medical attention. Treatment of these conditions must be directed at the specific cause of your problem.

Are you frustrated with your Hand/Wrist pain that is not getting better? Are you experiencing stiffness or numbness to your fingers, difficulty to grab object, or painful when raise up your wrist? You are in the right place! We certainly able to help with our innovative and non-invasive (non-surgical) form of treatment. Get your hand/wrist check today. Call or SMS us at +91 95855 88433 to schedule for an appointment

Hand and Wrist pain can be caused by one or more of a number of different disorders. Lifestyle diseases will become more common as we live longer and lead more active lives. Hand and wrist pain are among these lifestyle diseases. They are usually amenable to simple treatment strategies, provided they are diagnosed early.

Why are the hand and wrist special?

The hand and wrist are our main point of physical contact with the world. They manipulate objects to aid us in our daily lives. As such, pain that disables our hand and wrist can lead to a marked decrease in our ability to functional at work and play.

Which parts of our hand and wrist are commonly affected by pain?

- Hand pain

A common cause of hand pain that many feel at the base of their fingers, in the palm of the hand, is trigger finger. Trigger finger is a condition where a patient feels pain or discomfort when trying to straighten or bend their finger/thumb. Sometimes the finger may become ‘locked’ or ‘stuck’ when swelling of the tendon sheath occurs. This swelling can be associated with diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, or even golf.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome can also cause hand pain. There is a tunnel in the wrist called the carpal tunnel. Nine tendons and the median nerve pass through it. When pressure builds up in the tunnel, the nerve gets compressed and is unable to function properly. This may result in numbness, discomfort and pain in the fingers. This condition usually associated with a tingling sensation over the thumb, index and middle fingers, especially at night. Risk factors for carpal tunnel syndrome include age, diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis.

Another common cause of finger pain is trauma. In this instance, the injured tissue could be the tendon, ligament, bone, or even a combination. It is thus imperative that all injured tissues are adequeately addressed and optimally treated.

- Wrist Pain

Wrist pain is more complex. It is usually divided into conditions that cause pain on the radial side of the wrist, i.e. nearer the thumb, and those that cause pain on the ulnar side of the wrist, i.e nearer the little finger.

Radial-sided wrist pain

Radial-sided wrist pain can be caused by an injury to an important ligament called the scapholunate ligament. This ligament helps two important bones of the wrist joint, namely the scaphoid and the lunate, move in unison. When this ligament is injured, these bones no longer move in tandem, thus leading to pain. This would be aggravated by motion and lead to accelerated arthritis in the wrist, which in turn, manifests as stiffness and poor grip strength.

In addition, woman who are in the perinatal period also belong to a unique population who can suffer from a tendon condition called Dequervain’s Tenosynovitis. It is a condition in which one feels pain over the wrist joint near the base of the thumb. It begins as an aching sensation initially, and progresses to a point when any movement of the wrist or thumb produces sharp pain in the affected area. That area of the wrist may become swollen at times. Often, nursing mothers affected for the period that they are caring for their newborns. This is due to poor ergonomics, or by the hormonal changes that affect their tissues.

Ulnar sided wrist pain

Ulnar sided wrist pain is common in a patient who has sustained a twisting injury or a fall on an outstretched hand. This is usually due to a tear of a ligamentous structure called the “triangular fibrocartiligeneous complex”, which stabilises the wrist joint. Patients with this problem can experience pain in their wrists associated with instability and diminished grip strength. Like the radial side of the wrist, tendons on the side of the wrist can also suffer from inflammation which causes pain, and is usually caused by overuse.

How do we diagnose such conditions?

Firstly, we take a history from our patients. This includes finding out the circumtance surrounding their complaint, as well as the nature of the complaint. This can help us ascertain the tissue that is the main “pain generator”.

Secondly, a thorough clinical examination of the hand and wrist helps us confirm or rule out the possible reaons for our patient’s pain.

X-ray, fluoroscopy (real time X-rays), computed tomograpgy (CT) scans and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans are all important diagnostic tools to help Hand Surgeons confirm diagnoses.

Arthroscopy of the wrist is currently the gold standard diagnostic procedure of choice when the internal architecture of the joint, such as the cartilage, needs to be assessed. Therapeutic key-hole surgery can also be performed with the aid of this tool.

Most common causes of Hand and Wrist discomfort includes:

CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME - Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve which runs from the forearm into the hand becomes pressed or squeezed at the wrist.

DE QUERVAIN’S STENOSING TENOSYNOVITIS – is a condition brought by irritation or inflammation of the wrist tendons at the base of the thumb.

MALLET FINGER – Mallet finger occurs when the outermost joint of the finger is injured. With mallet finger, the tendon on the back of the finger is separated from the muscles it connects.

TRIGGER FINGER - Trigger finger is a common disorder of the hand which causes painful snapping or locking of the fingers or thumb.

ARTHRITIS – Osteoarthritis of the fingers and thumb is characterized as chronic and often disabling pain and stiffness of one or more joints

HEBERDEN’S NODES – are hard or bony swellings that can develop in the distal interphalangeal joints (DIP) (the joints closest to the end of the fingers and toes).

WRIST GANGLION CYST - is a swelling that usually occurs over the back of the hand or wrist. These are benign, fluid-filled capsules.

Call us or SMS +919585588433 or 0427 2314939 to schedule for an appointment

Shoulder pain are one of the more common reasons for physician visits for musculoskeletal symptoms. The shoulder is the most movable joint in the body. However, it is an unstable joint because of the range of motion allowed. The injuries to the shoulder can, and do, cause a lot of pain. Usually the pain is related to a particular function or task but often times the pain becomes more prevalent throughout the day.

What most people call the shoulder is really several joints that combine with tendons and muscles to allow a wide range of motion in the arm from scratching your back to throwing the perfect pitch.

Mobility has its price, however. It may lead to increasing problems with instability or impingement of the soft tissue or bony structures in your shoulder, resulting in pain. You may feel pain only when you move your shoulder, or all of the time. The pain may be temporary or it may continue and require medical diagnosis and treatment.

This article explains some of the common causes of shoulder pain, as well as some general treatment options. Our doctor can give you more detailed information about your shoulder pain.

Some common Shoulder Pain conditions include:

BURSITIS / ROTATOR CUFF TENDONITIS - Rotator cuff tendonitis is an inflammation (irritation and swelling) of the tendons of the shoulder.

ROTATOR CUFF TEAR – The rotator cuff is made up of four muscles that help move and stabilize the shoulder joint. Damage to any one of the four muscles or their ligaments that attach the muscle to bone can occur because of acute injury, chronic overuse, or gradual aging.

FROZEN SHOULDER – is a condition that causes restriction of motion in the shoulder joint. The cause of a frozen shoulder is not well understood, but it often occurs for no known reason.

CALCIFIC TENDONITIS – Calcific tendonitis is a condition that causes the formation of a small, usually about 1-2 centimeter size, calcium deposit within the tendons of the rotator cuff.

SHOULDER INSTABILITY / DISLOCATION – Shoulder instability is a problem that occurs when the structures that surround the glenohumeral (shoulder) joint do not work to maintain the ball within its socket.

LABRAL TEAR – The shoulder joint is a ball and socket joint, similar to the hip; however, the socket of the shoulder joint is extremely shallow, and thus inherently unstable.

SLAP LESION - A SLAP tear is an injury to a part of the shoulder joint called the labrum. The shoulder joint is a ball and socket joint, similar to the hip; however, the socket of the shoulder joint is extremely shallow, and thus inherently unstable.

ARTHRITIS – Osteoarthritis is the most common type of shoulder arthritis. Also called wear-and-tear arthritis or degenerative joint disease, osteoarthritis is characterized by progressive wearing away of the cartilage of the joint.

BICEPS TENDON RUPTURE – A biceps tendon rupture is an injury that occurs to the biceps tendon causing the attachment to separate from the bone. A normal biceps tendon is connected strongly to the bone

When do you need to call us about your shoulder pain?

If you are unsure of the cause of your shoulder pain, or if you do not know the specific treatment recommendations for your condition, you should seek medical attention. Treatment of these conditions must be directed at the specific cause of your problem. Some signs that you should be seen by a doctor include:

Inability to carry objects or use the arm

Injury that causes deformity of the joint

Shoulder pain that occurs at night or while resting

Shoulder pain that persists beyond a few days

Inability to raise the arm

Swelling or significant bruising around the joint or arm

Signs of an infection, including fever, redness, warmth

Any other unusual symptom

What are the best treatments for shoulder pain?

The treatment of shoulder pain depends entirely on the cause of the problem. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that you understand the cause of your symptoms before embarking on a treatment program. If you are unsure of your diagnosis, or the severity of your condition, you should seek medical advice before beginning any treatment.

Knee Pain, Knee Pain Treatment,

Are you frustrated with your knee pain that is not getting better? Are you experiencing Knee discomfort after prolong walking, quatting or running? You are in the right place! We certainly able to help with our effective and non-invasive (non-surgical) form of treatment. Get your Knee check today. Call us or SMS at +91 95855 88433, 0427-2314939 to schedule for an appointment

Knee pain refers to pain that occurs in and around your knee joint. Knee pain can be caused by problems with the knee joint itself, or it can be caused by conditions affecting the soft tissues, ligaments, tendons, or bursae that surround the knee.

The severity of knee pain can vary widely. Some people may feel only a slight twinge, while others may experience debilitating knee pain that interferes with their day-to-day activities. In most cases, self-care measures can help you cope with knee pain.

The knee consists of two long leg-bones held together by muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Many knee problems are a result of the aging process and continual wear and stress on the knee joint. Other knee problems result from injury or a sudden movement that stiffens the knee.

Some common conditions of Knee Problem include:

OSTEOARTHRITIS - Knee pain is a common problem in Asia, especially in individuals above the age of 40. The most common cause of knee pain is degenerative osteoarthritis. Women are more prone to the disease. It is characterized by mild to debilitating pain.

LIGAMENT INJURIES – Ligament injuries in the knee; such as an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) are dreaded by professional and amateur athletes alike. They can be painful and debilitating. They can even permanently change your lifestyle.

MENISCAL TEAR – The meniscus is a small “c” shaped cartilage that acts as a cushion in the knee joint. They sit between the femur and the tibia bone, one on the outside and one on the inside of the knee.

PATELLAR TENDONITIS - Patellar tendinitis is a common overuse injury. It occurs when repeated stress is placed on the patellar tendon. The stress results in tiny tears in the tendon, which the body attempts to repair.

CONDROMALACIA PATELLA – Chondromalacia patella is a common cause of kneecap pain or anterior knee pain. Often called “Runner’s Knee,” this condition often affects young, otherwise healthy athletes.

DISLOCATING KNEECAPS – Kneecap dislocation occurs when the triangle-shaped bone covering the knee (patella) moves or slides out of place. The problem usually occurs toward the outside of the leg.

BAKER’S CYST - A Baker cyst is swelling caused by fluid from the knee joint protruding to the back of the knee. The back of the knee is also referred to as the popliteal area of the knee

BURSITIS – A bursa is a closed fluid-filled sac that functions as a gliding surface to reduce friction between tissues of the body.

PLICA SYNDROME – Often called “synovial plica syndrome,” this is a condition that is the result of a remnant of fetal tissue in the knee. The synovial plica are membranes that separate the knee into compartments during fetal development.

OSGOOD-SCHALLATER DISEASE – Osgood-Schlatter disease is a disorder of the lower front of the knee where the large tendon under the kneecap (patellar tendon) attaches to the bone of the leg below.

OSTEOCHONDRITIS DISSECANS – Osteochondritis dissecans is a joint condition in which a piece of cartilage, along with a thin layer of the bone beneath it, comes loose from the end of a bone.

GOUT - Gout is a rheumatoid form of arthritis that causes the inflammation, joint pain and swelling especially in the toe, knee and ankle, also reducing their mobility.

SHIN SPLINT – Shin splints are a member of a group of injuries called “overuse injuries.” Shin splints occur most commonly in runners or aggressive walkers

When do you need to call us about your knee pain?

If you are unsure of the cause of your symptoms, or if you do not know the specific treatment recommendations for your condition, you should seek medical attention. Treatment of knee pain must be directed at the specific cause of your problem. Some signs that you should be seen by a doctor include:

Inability to walk comfortably on the affected side

Injury that causes deformity around the joint

Knee pain that occurs at night or while resting

Knee pain that persists beyond a few days

Locking (inability to bend) the knee

Swelling of the joint or the calf area

Signs of an infection, including fever, redness, warmth

Any other unusual symptoms

Treatments for Knee Pain

Treatment of knee pain depends entirely on the cause of the problem. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that you understand the cause of your symptoms before embarking on a treatment program. If you are unsure of your diagnosis, or the severity of your condition, you should seek medical advice before beginning any treatment plan.
