Have low back pain issues for 1 year and upper back issues for 3 years. Have gone through rehabilitation from multiple physiotherapists but not fully recovered- always stuck at 80-90% recovery, muscle imbalance and tightness remained all the time.
I had an amazing experience here, Dr Pratik himself used to spent time in sessions- pinpoint the wrong patterns and muscle involvement. He also helped to understand the issues and manage it in day to day activities which is really helpful in the era of youtube gyan, marketing gimmicks in name of sports physiotherapy.

I have visited Dr Pratik at Zelus Physiotherapy for L5- S1 herniated disc. Dr Pratik is very friendly and helped me understand the issue and suggested me lifestyle modifications to heal faster. The range of motion exercises and Strength training he made me do did wonders for me. I'm almost out of pain now.

While being very passionate on the football field I suffered from ACL ligament tear. I took physiotherapy treatment for 2 months at the hospital that I was diagnosed but my knee was still buckling. I then realized that though it was a reputed ortho hospital the physiotherapy services for me were very ineffective as I kept doing the same set of exercises for two months without any progress. As it was not working out for me I searched on Practo for a Physio with the best rating and reviews and decided to try Zelus.
On taking an appointment, Dr. Pratik explained very clearly and politely what I need and charted a 3 months plan after which he assured me I will be back on the football and badminton field. I was startled that on Day 1 of Physio session itself he set my knee right and I was able to walk normally without buckling. Dr Pratik and his staff were extremely sensitive, polite and caring throughout while giving me Sports Physiotherapy to help me recover completely from my ACL tear. I started with range of motion and strengthening exercises and later progressed to agility and neuro muscular training specific to the sports which I wanted to play. It was very heartening to see Dr Pratik give me confidence and motivation that I would recover well every time he helps me do the physio. Another big advantage is that Zelus has 5 branches and we are given the flexibility to avail the physio from any of the branches at no extra cost. That way I could strike my work life balance by taking sometimes from near to my office and sometimes near to my home.
I am on the last month of my physio and I am delighted to share that I will be hitting the Football field and badminton court next month. Kudos to Zelus.

*** **** ************* ********* ** ********** In the modern day when it is very difficult to trust a doctor or a clinic, these guys are an exception. They do not do something different like giving major discounts but are genuine and follow the basic principles.
Dr Pratik is a remarkable person **** ***** ********* *** very cool way of explaining things. He first allows the patient to describe their problems, looks into prescription if any, then asks his questions, assesses the movements, range and strength in simple steps to come to a conclusion and suggest the treatment.
His way of treatment can seem longer but is natural and promising.
I had a shoulder injury- dislocation(right) while mishandling my motorbike. After 3 weeks of immobiliser I was asked to see a Physio therapist. I am very particular in selecting my consultants and after seeing 2 physio therapists, I went to Pratik. Pratik took his time, assessed me and explained to me what is possible and how much time to do it. Just like all other clinics and treatment centres they have plans but let me highlight this: I was NOT pushed or compelled to take one. I was given the choice to chose and no discussions whatsoever. Do you need anything else to say they are not money minded?
I have seen great progress and have achieved full range and motion on my shoulder, as of now. We are still working on improving the strength and I am quite confident about the results.
Pros:
Absolutely amazing doctors and staff

Spread across 3 clinics in Bengaluru and Dr Pratik manages to visit all 3 clinics on a scheduled plan

Parking for two wheeler
Pricing is in line with time and effort dedicated to a patient
Modes of payment- Cash, Card and PayTm

Cons:
Four wheeler parking may be a concern
Entry is in a narrow lane making it difficult to notice for first timer
Visited For Back Pain
Happy with: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for moneyWait time
I had a chronic lower back pain for past fourteen years. Till date I had tried almost all the possible treatments, but none of that had helped. Being an IT professional, sitting is something unavoidable and that just added more to my pain. I had almost given up all hopes of getting rid of my pain. Zelus was the last option I decided to try. I met Dr. Pratik, who keenly analysed my pain areas and suggested a one month treatment. He explained the step by step approach for the treatment which included first reducing the pain, then increase muscle flexibility and then give strength to the muscles. Accordingly I started my sessions. And that's where all magic began! Within 2 weeks all my pain vanished. Dr. Saloni took care that my every session was conducted correctly. They kept taking my feedback after every session, so that they can take appropriate action if need be. I really thanks Dr. Pratik & Dr. Saloni for the treatment and the care they took during my treatment. My 14 year old pain has gone in just 1 month, all thanks to them. Once again many thanks !!

Had a severe backpain and wasn't even able to walk properly. Got an immediate relief after first round of the treatment. Dr. Pratik has helped me understand the problem and recovery path very clearly. Over the next 20 sessions, apart from pain relief, a lot of exercises with focus on my back and leg muscles have made me get back to my running strongly. Rest of the staff (Jayashree and Fahad) are also very helpful and adjust your exercises routine as per your requirements and give you a lot of tips.

I had severe lower back pain due to sitting in chairs for a very long time for many months. I got the recommendation of Zelus through Google & Practo. I have come here for 22 sessions & the treatment & exercises have helped me immensely. I wasn't able to sleep, walk or play football at the beginning but by the end I'm able to do all three without a glitch! Dr. Pratik Desai & team has paid great attention to my condition & has guided & helped me overcome this serious issue. I'm really thankful to have finally overcome this.

I visited Dr.Pratik for physiothery for my long standing issue of shoulder tendon tear. Initially, I was skeptical but went ahead to take up the sessions. Within 10 sessions, I could observe improvement and Pratik sir visits more often to check about the progress and was very friendly. Assisting physicians Mani, Hina, Amrutha and Shahithi are all friendly and helpful throughout, especially Mani who assisted me during my sessions. After completing the course of 22 sessions, I could start my exercise and playing routine progressively. Overall, it was a satisfying experience and would recommend the centre to others.
