Overview
Ms M Shalini is a Senior Physiotherapist in Rajarajeshwari (RR) Nagar, Bengaluru, with over 3 years of experience in treating muscle and joint pain, post-surgical recovery, neurological conditions, and breathing-related rehabilitation. She takes time to understand each patient’s movement, pain, and recovery needs before planning therapy.
She completed her BPT from RGUHS, Bangalore, in 2021. She is currently completing her MPT in Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Sciences from KTG College of Physiotherapy (2023–2025). She has also trained in dry needling and cupping therapy, both of which she uses in the management of musculoskeletal pain and trigger point conditions.
At RxDx Rajarajeshwari (RR) Nagar, Bengaluru, she sees patients with a wide range of presentations – back pain, neck pain, knee and shoulder conditions, post-surgical stiffness, neurological recovery, and breathing-related physiotherapy needs. Her additional training in cardiovascular and pulmonary physiotherapy makes her particularly well-suited for patients managing conditions where physical rehabilitation and cardiopulmonary function overlap, such as post-cardiac surgery, COPD, or long COVID recovery.
She has presented at the Physiocon International Conference and the IAP International Conference. She has volunteered with Oxfam (2019 and 2020), reflecting an interest in community health that sits naturally alongside her work in a neighbourhood clinic.
At RxDx Clinics, Rajarajeshwari (RR) Nagar, Bengaluru, patients needing physiotherapy for pain, injury, post-surgical recovery, neurological conditions, or cardiopulmonary rehabilitation will find Ms Shalini, a physiotherapist with a broad, practically grounded clinical training.
