Physiotherapy for pain, injury and recovery
Our general physiotherapy service covers problems of the bones, muscles, joints, injuries, heart and lungs. Treatment is evidence-based and usually short to medium term: an individual assessment, a plan written for you, hands-on treatment and exercise, and group sessions when a specific health need calls for them.
We also run dedicated programmes for metabolic conditions, for women before and after childbirth, and for sports injuries. If you need more specialised care, you can move within the clinic to orthopaedic physiotherapy, cardiac rehabilitation or podiatry without starting again with a new provider.

How treatment works
Assessment
We take your history, look at posture and movement, and test strength and range so we know what is actually causing the problem.
Your plan
We explain what we found in plain language, agree goals with you, and set out how often you will need to visit.
Treatment
Hands-on techniques, exercise and, where suitable, dry needling or taping. Each session builds on the last.
Progress and home programme
We re-check your progress, adjust the plan, and give you exercises to keep the gains once treatment ends.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if I need physiotherapy?
Consider it if pain or stiffness has lasted more than a few days, if movement is limited after an injury or surgery, or if pain stops you doing everyday things. An assessment will tell you whether physiotherapy is the right route.
What happens at the first visit?
We ask about your symptoms and medical history, examine how you move, explain what we find, and agree a plan. Wear loose, comfortable clothing and bring any scans, reports or a discharge summary you have.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on the condition and how long you have had it. Our treatment is generally short to medium term, and we will give you an honest estimate after the assessment.
Do you treat back pain and sciatica?
Yes. Lower back pain, sciatica, disc problems and spinal stiffness are among the most common conditions we see at the Santacruz clinic.
Do you see women during and after pregnancy?
Yes. We have specific physiotherapy programmes for antenatal and postnatal women.
Where is the clinic and when is it open?
We are on the 2nd floor of Jay Apartment, above Punjab National Bank on Linking Road, Santacruz West. We are open Monday to Saturday 9:30 AM to 8:00 PM, and on Sundays by appointment.
