Ankle

Ankle sprains are very common injuries. There's a good chance that while playing as a child or stepping on an uneven surface as an adult you sprained your ankle. Sometimes, it is an awkward moment when you lose your balance, but the pain quickly fades away and you go on your way. But the sprain could be more severe, your ankle might swell and it might hurt too much to stand on it. If it's a severe sprain, you might have felt a "pop" when the injury happened.
A sprained ankle means one or more ligaments on the outer side of your ankle were stretched or torn. If a sprain is not treated properly, you could have long-term problems. Typically the ankle is rolled either inward (inversion sprain) or outward (eversion sprain). Inversion sprains cause pain along the outer side of the ankle and are the most common type. Pain along the inner side of the ankle may represent a more serious injury to the tendons or to the ligaments that support the arch.
You're most likely to sprain your ankle when you have your toes on the ground and heel up (plantar flexion). This position puts your ankle's ligaments under tension, making them vulnerable. A sudden force like landing on an uneven surface may turn your ankle inward (inversion). When this happens, one, two or three of your ligaments may be hurt.
A sprain can be difficult to differentiate from a fracture (broken bone) without an x-ray. If you are unable to bear weight after this type of injury, or if there is significant swelling or deformity, you should seek medical treatment from a doctor.

Back Pain

Lumbar Spondylosis is an umbrella term used to describe pain from degenerative conditions of the lower spine.
Most spondylosis symptoms result from spinal osteoarthritis, but there may be other causes as well.
Spinal osteoarthritis primarily affects the facet joints, which are paired joints on the back of each vertebral level.
Facet joint problems can lead to spondylolisthesis in the lower back, in which a vertebra slides forward over the one beneath.This slippage can result in nerve root compression of the sciatic nerve, and pain down the back and into the buttocks and leg, often called sciatica.
Lumbar Spondylosis may also describe pain caused by spinal stenosis, in which a spinal nerve root becomes compressed as it passes through the foramina, an opening in the side of each vertebra.
Pain from degenerative disc disease can originate in the disc itself, or come from changes in the biomechanics of the spine.
It is important to understand that spondylosis is not a medical diagnosis; it is a term that describes symptoms related to degenerative changes in the spine.

Wrist Pain

Your wrist is made up of eight small bones known as carpals. They support a tube that runs through your wrist. That tube, called the carpal tunnel, has tendons and a nerve inside. It is covered by a ligament, which holds it in place.
Wrist pain is common. Repetitive motion can damage your wrist. Everyday activities like typing, racquet sports or sewing can cause pain, or even carpal tunnel syndrome. Wrist pain with bruising and swelling can be a sign of injury. The signs of a possible fracture include misshapen joints and inability to move your wrist. Some wrist fractures are a result of osteoporosis.

Shoulder Pain

Cervical spondylosis often develops as a result of changes in your neck joints as you age. Your spinal disks can become dry and begin shrinking around the time you turn 40, reducing the cushioning between the bones in your neck.
Your discs might also develop cracks as you get older. This causes them to bulge or become herniated. You might also develop bone spurs, or extra bony growths. Herniated discs and bone spurs can put extra pressure on your spinal cord and nerve roots, causing joint pain.
The ligaments in your spine, which are strands of tissue that connect your bones, might also become stiffer as you age. This makes it more difficult or painful for you to move your neck.
We at Professional Physiotherapy Clinic have a complete comprehensive treatment for cervical spondylosis.

Knee Pain

People with arthritis often have stiff joints - largely because they avoid movements that can increase pain. By immobilizing arthritic joints, however, the stiffness andpain only get worse. Therefore people with arthritis often benefit from physiotherapy. A physiotherapist can teach you how to work out stiffness without further damaging your joint. Physiotherapy is also useful after an injury such as from a fall and after joint surgery, especially for artificial joint replacement.

Physiotherapy in Osteoarthritis
The goal of physiotherapy is to get a person back to the point where he or she can perform normal everyday activities without difficulty.
Preserving good range of motion is key to maintain the ability to perform daily activities, so increasing the range of motion of a joint is the primary focus of physiotherapy. Building strength in the involved muscles surrounding the joint is also extremely important, since stronger muscles can better stabilize a weakened joint.
Physiotherapists provide exercises designed to preserve the strength and use of your joints. They can show you the best way to move from one position to another and can also teach you how to use walking aids such as crutches, a walker or a walking stick if necessary.

Sports Injuries

Exercising is good for you, but sometimes you can injure yourself when you play sports or exercise. Accidents, poor training practices, or improper gear can cause them. Some people get hurt because they are not in shape. Not warming up or stretching enough can also lead to injuries.

The most common sports injuries are

• Sprains and strains
• Knee injuries
• Swollen muscles
• Achilles tendon injuries
• Pain along the shin bone
• Rotator cuff injuries
• Fractures
• Dislocations

If you get hurt, stop playing. Continuing to play or exercise can cause more harm. Treatment often begins with the RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation) method to relieve pain, reduce swelling, and speed healing. Other possible treatments include pain relievers, keeping the injured area from moving, rehabilitation, and sometimes surgery.

Home care

We offer home physiotherapy services because we understand that some conditions or injuries can make it difficult to receive rehabilitation at our clinic. Our objective is to provide our at-home physiotherapy patients with the same high-quality therapy that they would receive in-clinic, while also instructing them on how to utilize their home environment to help achieve their rehabilitation goals.
We currently offer home physiotherapy services across South Bangalore. Our home physiotherapy services are provided by highly skilled physiotherapists who also maintain clinic hours. Consequently, you may be able to graduate to seeing them in-clinic if you wish, an option that can be more cost-effective than receiving therapy at home.
Our team of home care physiotherapists have advanced training in specialized fields including orthopedic, neurologic and sports physiotherapy. If you are interested in receiving physiotherapy at home, or have questions, please contact us. A physiotherapist will work with you to answer your questions and schedule a visit.

Pelvic floor muscle exercises
Your pelvic floor muscles stretch like a trampoline across the floor of the pelvis, running from the coccyx (tailbone) at the back through to the pubic bone at the front, and sideways to the sitting bones.
The pelvic floor muscles play a large part in bladder and bowel control. Your pelvic floor muscles also help to provide support and stability around your pelvic joints. These muscles are normally firm and thick.

Pregnancy care service can be provided at your doorstep removing the need to travel to clinic.
