F.A.Q.s
If you do not find an answer to your question here, then please contact us with your questions. We will be happy to address any query that you may have.
1. What makes Rohini Physio Works at Oshiwara different from other physiotherapy clinics in Mumbai?
Great question! The biggest difference you'll notice right away is our one-on-one approach. I personally conduct every single session myself, i.e., no assistants, no trainees, no rushing between multiple patients. This means your full hour is dedicated entirely to your recovery. With 14+ years of clinical experience and a clinic designed for focused healing, you receive the undivided attention that your treatment truly deserves. You're not just another appointment here; you're a person with unique needs, and I take that responsibility seriously.
2. What types of conditions do you treat at Rohini Physio Works?
Over my 14+ years of practice, I've had the privilege of treating a wonderfully diverse range of conditions. From common issues like chronic back pain, neck stiffness, and sports injuries to more specialized care like post-surgical rehabilitation, stroke recovery, and pediatric developmental concerns. I also have a special interest in women's health, including post-pregnancy recovery, and offer advanced therapies like dry needling and cupping. Whatever your concern, big or small, we'll sit down together, assess it thoroughly, and create a plan that works for you.
3. What is dry needling? Does it hurt?
Dry needling is one of my most effective tools for releasing those stubborn, painful muscle knots (what we call trigger points). I use a very thin, sterile needle—much finer than an injection needle—to target these tight bands. Most patients describe the sensation as a mild, brief cramp or twitch followed by an immediate sense of release and relaxation in the muscle. It's a quick technique that provides remarkable relief, especially for chronic pain conditions. I always explain the process beforehand and ensure the patient is completely comfortable.
4. I'm a new mom and struggling with back pain. Is it too early to start physiotherapy?
First of all, congratulations on being a mother! And no, it's absolutely not too early. In fact, it's the perfect time. Pregnancy and caring for a newborn put tremendous strain on your body. I offer specialized post-pregnancy physiotherapy that focuses on gently rebuilding your core strength, correcting posture affected by feeding and carrying your baby, and relieving lower back pain safely. This is your time to heal and regain strength, and I'm here to support you every step of the way in a comfortable, judgment-free space.
5. What should I expect during my first visit to Rohini Physio Works?
Your first visit is all about us getting to know each other and understanding your body. We'll start with a friendly chat about your concerns, medical history, and what you hope to achieve. Then, I'll conduct a thorough assessment that includes posture analysis, movement evaluation, strength testing, and gentle palpation to find the exact source of your issue. Based on this, I'll explain my findings in simple terms and outline a personalized treatment plan. We'll even begin some hands-on therapy in the same session so you leave feeling heard and already on the path to relief from your ailment.
6. How do I book an appointment? What are your clinic timings?
Booking an appointment is very easy. Just give me a call at 9833237401. Since I conduct all sessions personally and believe in giving each patient unhurried, focused time, consultations are strictly by prior appointment only. This ensures I'm fully available for you when you arrive. The best way to know current availability is to call or send a WhatsApp message, and I'll personally help you find a slot that fits your schedule.
7. I have a slipped disc. Can physiotherapy help me avoid surgery?
In most cases, absolutely yes. I've successfully helped countless patients with slip disc issues recover fully through conservative, non-surgical physiotherapy. My approach focuses on reducing pressure on the affected nerve through specific postures and manual techniques, followed by a structured strengthening program to support your spine long-term. I'll work closely with you and coordinate with your doctor if needed. While every case is different, many people are able to avoid surgery and return to normal life with dedicated rehabilitation.
8. I'm a professional athlete. How do you approach sports injury rehabilitation?
I treat athletes with the same intensity and dedication that you bring to your sport. My approach goes beyond just healing the injury. I focus on your complete return-to-sport conditioning. After the initial healing phase, we work on sport-specific movements, strength building, and injury prevention strategies tailored to your game. Whether you play cricket, football, or are a gym enthusiast, my goal is to get you back not just fit, but stronger and more resilient than before, while minimizing the risk of re-injury.
9. What is the difference between physiotherapy and chiropractic? Do you do both?
Excellent question! Physiotherapy and chiropractic share the goal of improving movement and reducing pain, but their approaches can differ. Physiotherapy takes a broader view, using exercises, manual therapy, and modalities to rehabilitate the whole body. Chiropractic often focuses more on spinal adjustments. In my practice, I blend the best of both therapies. With my advanced training in chiropractic techniques, I incorporate gentle adjustments where needed, combined with comprehensive physiotherapy rehabilitation. You get a integrated approach the precision of adjustments with the holistic healing of physiotherapy.
10. Will I be given exercises to do at home? How will I remember them?
Yes, home exercises are an important part of your recovery journey because they empower you to heal actively between sessions. You and your loved ones need not worry. I never just hand you a sheet and send you off. I demonstrate each exercise, watch you perform it to ensure perfect form, and answer all your questions. I also provide clear, simple instructions (and photos if helpful) so you feel confident doing them alone. The exercises evolve as you progress, and we'll always review them together in your next session.
11. I'm nervous about physiotherapy. Will it hurt?
I completely understand feeling nervous and having apprehension since it's your body, and you want to be gentle with it. Let me reassure you: my approach is always caring, listening to your body every step of the way. While some techniques might cause mild temporary discomfort (like releasing a tight muscle), you will always be in control. I constantly check in with you, and if anything feels too much, we simply adjust and tweak the therapy. The goal is relief, not adding more pain. My treatment room is a safe, calm space where you can relax and trust that you're in experienced, gentle hands.
12. How do I know if physiotherapy is right for me?
If you're experiencing pain, limited movement, recovering from an injury or surgery, or simply want to move better in your daily life because you lead a sedentary lifestyle, then physiotherapy is very likely right for you. The best way to find out is to come in for a one-on-one consultation. We'll sit together, discuss your concerns, and I'll give you an honest opinion about whether I can help and what needs to be done. There's no pressure to follow, only a friendly, professional conversation about your health. You deserve to feel your best, and I'd love to help you get there.
