For runners, cyclists, cricketers, footballers and anyone who trains seriously: we treat the injury, then build the strength that stops it coming back. A gym trainer builds general fitness; a sports physiotherapist finds the weak link behind your injury — the hip that lets the knee drift inwards, the calf that cannot take the mileage — and trains exactly that. And because we sit inside a hospital, an orthopaedic surgeon, X-ray and ultrasound are a corridor away when an injury needs more than physio.
धावकों, साइकिल चालकों, क्रिकेट और फ़ुटबॉल खिलाड़ियों और गंभीरता से ट्रेनिंग करने वाले हर व्यक्ति के लिए: हम पहले चोट का इलाज करते हैं, फिर वह ताक़त बनाते हैं जो चोट को लौटने न दे। जिम ट्रेनर सामान्य फ़िटनेस बनाता है; स्पोर्ट्स फ़िज़ियोथेरेपिस्ट आपकी चोट के पीछे की कमज़ोर कड़ी ढूँढता है — वह कूल्हा जिससे घुटना अंदर की ओर मुड़ता है, वह पिंडली जो दौड़ का बोझ नहीं सह पाती — और ठीक उसी पर काम करता है। अस्पताल के भीतर होने से, ज़रूरत पड़ने पर हड्डी रोग विशेषज्ञ, एक्स-रे और अल्ट्रासाउंड पास ही हैं।
Each animation shows what goes wrong and the kind of exercise we use to fix it. They explain; they are not a do-it-yourself plan — the right exercise, dose and progression come from an assessment.
Pain around or behind the kneecap — runner's knee, or patellofemoral pain — is one of the commonest running injuries. It usually follows a jump in mileage, hills or speed, often with weak hip and thigh muscles that let the knee drift inwards with every stride. Rest eases it for a while; strength is what fixes it.
How we help: We test how your knee moves on one leg, settle the pain with taping and manual therapy, then build hip and thigh strength so the knee tracks over the foot again — while you keep running at a level that does not flare it.
Shin splints — pain along the inner edge of the shin bone — usually follow a jump in training: more distance, more speed or harder surfaces than the bone and muscles have adapted to. Most people do not need to stop completely; they need less load for a while and a slower build back. Sharp pain in one spot, or pain at rest, needs a doctor's check for a stress fracture.
How we help: We look at your weekly load, shoes and running style, cut the load to a level the shin tolerates, and build calf and foot strength so the next build-up holds. The orthopaedic OPD is in the same building if a stress fracture is suspected.
Achilles tendinopathy — pain and stiffness in the tendon above the heel, worst for the first steps in the morning — is a tendon that has been asked to do more than it could. Tendons recover by being loaded gradually, so weeks of rest leave it weaker and the pain returns with the first long run. Slow heel-lowering exercises off a step are among the most-studied treatments.
How we help: We set a calf-loading programme matched to your pain, adjust your running while the tendon recovers, and add manual therapy or taping where it helps. A sudden snap or a kick-like pain in the calf is different — that needs the orthopaedic OPD the same day.
Pain on the outer side of the knee that starts at about the same point in every run is usually iliotibial (IT) band syndrome, common in runners and cyclists. The band itself barely stretches, so stretching and foam rolling alone rarely fix it. What helps is calming the irritation, changing the training that set it off, and strengthening the side-hip muscles that control the leg.
How we help: We confirm the diagnosis, ease the pain with manual therapy, ultrasound therapy or taping, adjust your runs or bike set-up, and give you a hip-strength routine that you progress week by week.
A sprain damages more than the ligament: it also blunts the ankle's sense of position, so the muscles react late on uneven ground. If balance is never retrained, the ankle keeps giving way and repeat sprains are common. Balance and strength training on the injured leg is the most reliable way to lower that risk.
How we help: We check whether the ankle needs an X-ray (it is in the building), settle the swelling, then progress from balance on a firm floor to a cushion, hops and turns — until the ankle holds on the moves your sport needs.
Hamstring strains often recur, usually because the muscle goes back to sprinting before it has its full strength back at long lengths. Nordic hamstring exercises — lowering yourself forward from kneeling as slowly as you can — are one of the most-researched ways to cut the risk of a hamstring injury, both before and after a first strain.
How we help: We grade the strain, start gentle loading early, then progress to Nordics, bridges and running drills, testing strength before you return to full speed.
The place that hurts is often not the cause. Knee pain in a runner may come from a weak hip; a bowler's shoulder pain from a stiff upper back. A sports physiotherapist is a clinician: we assess the whole chain, find the weak link, treat the injury and write the strength work around it. You can keep your trainer — we tell you both what to load and what to protect.
How we help: Assessment, treatment and a written strength plan for your sport, which you can take to your own gym or coach.
Not on a date — on milestones. First you walk briskly without pain, then hop and do single-leg squats without pain, then follow a walk–jog plan, moving up only if the pain the next morning is no worse than before. Skipping steps is the usual reason an injury returns in the first weeks back.
How we help: We test each milestone in clinic and give you the next step, so you know exactly how much you can do this week — whether you run for fitness or race.
Your training history and recent load, a look at how you run or move, strength and flexibility tests, and an X-ray or orthopaedic opinion only if the injury needs one.
Pain relief and a clear plan for what you can keep doing — most injuries respond to changing the load, not stopping completely.
Progressive strength work for your sport — single-leg strength, calf and hip capacity, trunk control — in our exercise area, with a plan you can take to your own gym.
A graded return to running or play, then a short prevention routine for your sport, and a check-in before a race or a new season.
Usually not completely. Most running injuries settle when the load changes — shorter or slower runs, fewer hills, more rest days — and we tell you exactly what you can keep doing while the injury heals.
Yes. A check of strength, mobility and training load before a race block or a season finds the weak links early, and a short routine for your sport works on them. It lowers the risk; no programme can promise you will never be injured.
See the orthopaedic OPD first if you heard a pop, the joint swelled quickly, you cannot put weight on it, the pain wakes you at night, or there is numbness or tingling. X-ray and ultrasound are in the building, and physiotherapy starts once the cause is clear.
Our physiotherapists cover 9 am to 6 pm, Monday to Saturday, and one of them is on duty on Sundays. Message us on WhatsApp with your sport and the problem, and we fix a time that fits around your training and work.
On the physiotherapy floor from 9 am to 4 pm: back, neck and knee pain programmes, post-surgery and post-fracture rehabilitation, sports injuries and strengthening, chest physiotherapy for admitted patients, and the home-exercise plans patients take away.
On the physiotherapy floor from 10 am to 6 pm: back, neck and knee pain, sports injury rehabilitation and strengthening, and recovery after surgery.
