Care for joints, bones, ligaments and tendons
Orthopaedic physiotherapy focuses on the musculoskeletal system: the joints, muscles, bones, ligaments and tendons that let you move. We treat sudden injuries, wear-and-tear conditions, inflammatory conditions and recovery after surgery.
If you are looking for joint pain treatment in Mumbai, we start by working out whether the pain is coming from the joint, the muscle, a nerve or the way you load the limb. Where foot mechanics are involved, our podiatry team assesses that part too.

How treatment works
Assessment
We examine the joint and the movement around it, and review any scans or surgical notes you bring.
Pain control and mobility
Early treatment settles pain and restores range of movement so you can start to load the joint again.
Strength and function
Progressive strengthening and movement retraining so the joint copes with the demands of your day.
Return to activity
We help you get back to walking, work, stairs or sport and show you how to protect the joint long term.
Frequently asked questions
Can physiotherapy help with knee pain and arthritis?
Often, yes. Strengthening, mobility work and load management can reduce pain and improve how the knee moves. We assess first so the programme fits your joint and your goals.
When should I start physiotherapy after knee or hip replacement?
Your surgeon will tell you when it is safe to begin. Bring your discharge notes and any surgeon's instructions to the first session and we will plan around them.
Do I need an X-ray or MRI before I come?
No. We can assess you first. If you already have scans, bring them, as they help us plan treatment.
Do you treat slipped disc and sciatica?
Yes. Disc problems, sciatica and spinal stiffness are treated with a mix of movement-based techniques, strengthening and pain-relief methods.
What is the difference between orthopaedic and general physiotherapy?
Orthopaedic physiotherapy is the part of physiotherapy that deals with the musculoskeletal system. Our general physiotherapy page covers the wider range of services, including back pain and prevention programmes.
