Real Recovery Stories

Aadi Sagar

I’ve been suffering from neck pain for the past few years. After booking a session with a chiropractor at Physiotattva, I learned more about posture and pain management.

Akhila Anil

Going to the hospital for back problems during the pandemic was not an option. Thank god for home services, I could cope with my pain.

Amogh Kumar

After a major accident, my brother suffered from a severe spine injury. Doctors recommended physiotherapy to cope with the impact of the injury. After the first consultation at Physiotattva, we were hopeful about his recovery.

Arun Dhilon

I had constant burning in my legs after a road accident. The customised neurorehab plan by Physiotattva- especially the nerve gliding and gait training, made a huge difference. I finally feel in control of my body again.

Aswini Priya

I had severe backache and alignment issues due to which I started to stoop. The expert at Physiotattva explained the course of sessions and how it will benefit me and took regular follow-ups. I was able to recover soon and now am continuing with the given exercises. I am satisfied with their service.

Shalini Singh

Very effective treatment. The sessions were good and the doctor was very polite. After completing the suggested number of sessions the pain was almost healed.

Anand Shivkumar

The tingling in my hands and poor coordination had affected my work. Physiotattva’s team ran a full neuropathy functional assessment and designed a targeted neuro rehab program. Within weeks, I saw visible improvement in balance, grip, and confidence

Vishak

I had a great experience with Physiotattva. Would like to give a special mention to my chiropractor who was quick at understanding my problem and recommended treatment for the same. I am feeling much better after 15 days of my course. Would highly recommend this place.
