The Situation: When Constant Discomfort Becomes Normal
For several months, this patient lived with persistent neck and shoulder pain.
What began as mild discomfort slowly turned into stiffness, restricted movement, and frequent headaches. Sitting for long hours, working on a laptop, and even sleeping comfortably became difficult.
Like many people, the patient adjusted to the pain instead of addressing it. But over time, the discomfort started affecting focus, sleep, and overall mood. That’s when they decided it was time to seek proper physiotherapy care at Anandi’s Physiotherapy.
The First Session: Listening Before Treating
During the first visit, Dr. Nandini Bagadia took time to understand how the pain had developed. The assessment focused on:
Instead of immediately starting exercises, Dr. Nandini explained how prolonged poor posture, muscle overload, and stress had contributed to the pain. This explanation helped the patient realise why rest alone had not worked.
The Approach: Releasing Tension, Restoring Movement
The treatment plan focused on manual therapy, combined with gentle movement correction. In the initial phase, therapy aimed to:
As discomfort reduced, treatment progressed to:
