Consultation Available at : RxDx SAMANVAY, Malleswaram
Santosh completed his physiotherapy training at a teaching medical college, where he gained hands-on exposure during his clinical internship. His training involved comprehensive patient assessment, rehabilitation planning, and supervised management of orthopaedic, neurological, and sports-related conditions. This foundation has equipped him with strong diagnostic skills and a structured approach to physiotherapy care.
As a practising physiotherapist in Malleshwaram, Santosh works closely with patients experiencing neck pain, back pain, joint stiffness, muscle injuries, and postural problems. His treatment philosophy focuses on identifying the root cause of pain rather than offering short-term relief alone. Each rehabilitation plan is customised based on the patient’s condition, functional goals, and daily activity requirements.
Santosh is trained in manual therapy techniques, electrotherapy modalities, exercise therapy, postural correction, and gait training. He also has experience supporting patients during post-injury and post-surgical recovery, helping them regain strength, flexibility, balance, and confidence in movement. His sessions combine hands-on therapy with guided exercises and clear home-care instructions to ensure continuity of recovery.
In addition to clinical practice, Santosh actively participates in professional development programs, workshops, and conferences related to physiotherapy and rehabilitation sciences. He has attended hands-on training in cervicothoracic dysfunctions, shoulder rehabilitation, manual therapy approaches, and first-responder emergency care. He has also contributed to academic research, with a published study on hamstring flexibility and balance, highlighting his interest in evidence-based physiotherapy.
Santosh is known for his calm demeanour, strong communication skills, and ability to motivate patients throughout their rehabilitation journey. Fluent in Tamil and English, he connects easily with patients from diverse backgrounds. His goal is to help individuals return safely to daily activities, work, and fitness through ethical, structured, and personalised physiotherapy care.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I consult a physiotherapist?
You should consult a physiotherapist if you experience persistent pain, stiffness, reduced mobility, sports injuries, post-surgical limitations, or difficulty performing daily activities. Early physiotherapy helps prevent chronic problems.
How many physiotherapy sessions are usually required?
The number of sessions depends on the condition, severity, and individual recovery response. After assessment, a personalised treatment plan and expected recovery timeline will be explained.
Is physiotherapy helpful for chronic back or neck pain?
Yes. Physiotherapy is highly effective in managing chronic back and neck pain by improving posture, strengthening muscles, correcting movement patterns, and reducing recurrence.
Is physiotherapy painful?
Physiotherapy is generally not painful. Some techniques may cause mild discomfort initially, but treatment is always adjusted to patient tolerance.
Can physiotherapy help after surgery?
Yes. Post-surgical physiotherapy helps reduce stiffness, restore strength, improve mobility, and speed up recovery.
Do I need a referral to see a physiotherapist?
In most cases, you can directly consult a physiotherapist without a referral for assessment and treatment.
