The most-reviewed physiotherapy clinic in Guwahati, and every one of them is 5.0.

A rare inflammatory condition caused by calcium pyrophosphate (CPPD) or hydroxyapatite crystals around the odontoid process of the C2 vertebra. Sudden, severe upper-neck pain, stiffness and markedly restricted neck movement, mostly in older adults. CT scan is the diagnostic test of choice.

• Reduce pain & muscle spasm
• Restore cervical range of motion
• Improve posture
• Acute (painful) phase → sub-acute phase → functional rehabilitation
• Medical management alongside the physician

With appropriate medical treatment and rehabilitation, most patients recover well and regain normal neck function within 2–4 weeks.

A chronic autoimmune disorder of the neuromuscular junction with fluctuating muscle weakness and fatigability. Physiotherapy is an adjunct to medical management, particularly in clinically stable patients.

• Energy conservation & fatigue management
• Aerobic conditioning — walking, cycling, low-to-moderate intensity
• Strengthening — low-to-moderate resistance exercise
• Adequate recovery between sessions
• Balance & functional training — sit-to-stand, gait and mobility

Important: MG patients can experience activity-related worsening, so rehab is never based on a “no pain, no gain” approach.

The most common cause of rotator-cuff injury and shoulder pain. Laser therapy (PBMT / HILT) is a non-invasive option that may reduce pain and promote healing.

• Laser therapy combined with a full physiotherapy programme
• Electrical modalities
• Gentle range-of-motion exercises
• Rotator-cuff strengthening
• Stretching of tight shoulder muscles

Research suggests laser therapy gives short-term pain relief and improves shoulder function, particularly within a structured rehabilitation programme.

Nerves running from the top of the spinal cord up through the scalp become injured or inflamed, causing sharp head pain. Physiotherapy is a useful first-line conservative treatment.

• Manual therapy — gentle joint mobilisation of the upper neck
• Soft-tissue release of tight suboccipital muscles
• Therapeutic exercise such as chin tucks
• Electrical nerve stimulation to block pain
• Trigger-point therapy: dry needling and manual release

Excess fluid in the knee joint — the “puffiness” when the kneecap seems to float or one knee looks larger than the other. Mild or severe, the underlying cause must be identified to treat it correctly.

• Exercises to reduce knee effusion
• Maintain a healthy weight — less pressure, less fluid
• Gentle exercises to improve knee mobility
• Pain & swelling management
• Balance & proprioception exercises; RICE protocol

Don’t ignore persistent knee swelling.

Degeneration of the glenohumeral joint causing pain, stiffness, reduced range and weakness. Physiotherapy plays an important role in conservative management and functional rehabilitation.

• Reduce pain & stiffness
• Improve shoulder mobility
• Make daily activities easier
• Improve confidence in shoulder movement
• Improve upper-limb function and overall quality of life

For severe or persistent symptoms despite conservative care, medical or orthopaedic assessment may be appropriate.

Injury or degeneration of the smooth tissue covering the bone ends inside the joint — pain, stiffness, swelling, reduced movement and difficulty weight-bearing.

• Conservative: RICE, anti-inflammatories (with physician), physiotherapy to strengthen the muscles around the knee
• Surgical options (arthroscopy, cartilage regeneration) via an orthopaedic surgeon when needed
• Prevention: healthy weight, strengthening, avoiding high-impact activities

Treatment of cartilage lesions needs patience from both patient and clinician — a programme, not a quick fix.

Compression of the spinal cord in the neck. Physiotherapy helps manage pain, improve balance and maintain strength in mild or stable cases and in post-operative rehab — it cannot reverse the compression itself. For moderate-to-severe cases, surgery remains the primary treatment.

• Symptom management with laser, heat, SWD, cold, ultrasound or electrical nerve stimulation
• Muscle relaxation — gentle stretching and mild myofascial release for neck and upper back
• Maintain function and prevent further deterioration

Osteoarthritis at the base of the thumb where the first metacarpal meets the trapezium — pain when gripping, pinching, opening jars, writing or using a phone.

• Patient education
• Therapeutic exercises
• Splinting — thumb CMC stabilising splint / orthosis
• Pain & symptom management
• Functional rehabilitation

If pain is severe, persistent, with deformity, numbness or weakness, medical evaluation is advised to confirm the diagnosis.

Injury to the main ligament that stabilises the knee — typically from sports, sudden twisting or an awkward landing. Physiotherapy is central to every ACL recovery.

• Phase I (acute): ice therapy, compression & elevation
• Gentle range-of-motion exercises
• Paraffin wax therapy and nerve stimulation
• Progressive strengthening to restore knee stability

Recovery: partial tear approx. 3–6 months; after reconstruction surgery approx. 6–12 months. Early diagnosis and a structured programme matter.

Abnormal movement of the shoulder blade, often in young active patients. Treated on a phased protocol.

• Acute phase (0–3 weeks): avoid painful arm positions; establish scapular motion via hip and trunk
• Soft-tissue mobilisation and assisted stretching — pectoralis minor, levator scapulae, upper trapezius, latissimus dorsi, infraspinatus, teres minor
• Recovery phase (3–8 weeks): closed-kinetic-chain loading — wall push-ups, table push-ups, modified prone push-ups

Seizures in young children (6 months – 5 years) triggered by fever above 38°C, without brain infection. Most are brief and cause no permanent damage; physiotherapy supports recovery of movement and confidence.

• Short term: maintain joint mobility, prevent deconditioning, restore age-appropriate mobility
• Educate caregivers
• Long term: maintain strength & balance, promote independence in mobility
• Support normal participation in play and daily activities

Epilepsy doesn’t look the same at every age — blank stares and sudden pauses can also be seizure signs.

Temporomandibular disorder is the second-most common cause of chronic headache. Non-invasive treatment can reduce or eliminate TMD headache.

• Comprehensive assessment of the jaw, cervical spine and posture
• Manual therapy for the jaw & neck
• TMD mobility and stretching exercises
• Postural correction and ergonomic advice
• Trigger-point therapy and massage for muscle spasm
