Area of specialization: | I am working in physiotherapy with focus on pain managment and rehab across diffrent types of patients. My core area is treating orthopaedic conditions like fracture recovery, arthritis, spine issues and sports injury, where I use exercise therapy, mobilization, and posture training to bring function back. I also deal with neurological conditions such as stroke, nerve weakness or balance disorder, where the rehab need to be slow, step by step and a lot of patience.
In pre & post operative rehabilitation I guide patients through strenght building before surgery and safe recovery after, specially for joint replacement or spine surgery cases. Paediatric rehab is another area I handle, helping children with delayed milestones, muscle weakness or posture problems. I also work with cardiovascular patients who need supervised exercise and endurance training to rebuild stamina after surgery or illness.
Weight managment tie into many of these, since obesity often worsens pain and mobility issues. I combine therapeutic exercise with lifestyle guidance to help patient stay active and reduce long term risk. My aim is always to keep treatment patient-centric, practical and adapted to their daily life, not just clinic based. |
Achievements: | I am glad to share some of the cases I handled where results felt like real achievements. One was an ACL injury rehab where patient came with very limited knee movement, through structured exercises and progressive load we managed to restore stability and near full mobility. Another was working with a stroke patient, guiding recovery step by step, balance retraining, and daily function. Both experiences reminded me how much dedication and small progress add up into real transformation for patient life. |
I am a physiotherapist with about 8 yrs in this field, working day to day with patients who come with very differnt needs, from acute injury cases to long term rehab goals. Over this time I got to learn how to balance pain management, mobility training, and preventive strategies in real life setting, not just theory. Many of my patients come with conditions like post fracture stiffness, arthritis related pain, sports injuries or chronic back issues, and my focus is always on restoring their function in a way that fits their lifestyle rather than just quick fix. I do a lot of work in rehabilitation, both after surgery and after trauma, and I know how much patience and persistence it take for a person to slowly recover. Sometimes progress feel slow, but I keep the treatment plan flexible, using exercise therapy, posture correction, manual therapy and simple home routines that keep the recovery sustainable. Preventive care is another area I give attention to, because preventing injuries, especially in people who have risk like poor posture, diabetes or repetitive strain, is as important as treating them after. My approach is clinical but also empathetic, I spend time in communication, understanding the patients concern, their daily challenges, even small things like difficulty in climbing stairs or lifting their child. Those details help me design the rehab plan better. Over 8 years I worked with wide patient groups—children, elderly, athletes, office goers—and that exposure made me confident in adapting techniques across situations. At core, I believe physiotherapy is not only about exercises but about giving people back their independence, dignity and confidence in their own body. Each case teaches me something new, and I carry that into my practice everyday. I try to keep my care practical, evidence based, but also warm, because I know recovery is not only physical, it is emotional too.
