I had an excellent experience with Dr. Aparna Shanbhag and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate physiotherapist.

The first time I consulted her was for severe knee pain. I had already been advised by an orthopaedic doctor to undergo a CT scan and was almost convinced that surgery was the only solution possible. However, Dr. Aparna evaluated my condition and advised me to wait and undergo one month of physiotherapy under her supervision before taking any further decision. Remarkably, within just 3 weeks and 6 sessions, the underlying muscle issue was completely resolved, and I was able to recover without any surgery.

A few months later, I developed significant back stiffness and pain. Once again, her treatment and guided exercises helped resolve the problem in just 4 sessions.

What truly sets Dr. Aparna apart is not only her clinical expertise but also her positive and encouraging approach. She always welcomes patients with a smile, keeps the atmosphere light with her cheerful personality and sense of humour, and constantly motivates you throughout the recovery process. Every session leaves you feeling more confident and optimistic.

She is an exceptional physiotherapist, and her ability to understand and reassure patients almost feels therapeutic in itself. Knowing that she is a gold medalist makes it easy to understand the ***** ** *** ********* *** *** quality of care she provides.

I am sincerely grateful for her treatment and would recommend her without hesitation.

In April 2026, I [ 72 years ] had severe pain in both knees [ majorly left one ]. So I visited Dr. Aparna Shanbhag, who commenced and gave me IFT + MFR Therapies [ MFR for long duration ].

During conduct of Sessions, she explained interesting foundational origin-cause-effect pointers. She has shown me progressively number of exercises, which I have found to be beneficial immensely. I will be doing these exercises forever.

Dr. Aparna Shanbhag is highly motivational for patients and is always enthusiastic to walk that extra mile for patients' enhancement of comfort level and for patients' confidence building slowly and steadily.

I have recovered fully well from my acute ailment. I strongly recommend her for robust positive treatment for patients - especially Senior Citizens like me.

I had mild supraspinatus tendinosis in left shoulder from past 2 months. Visited Dr. Aparna Shanbhag. Post 1st session, did not get any relief. Infact felt more problem in left shoulder and was very sceptical. *** *** ******* *** ******* **** ******** Got almost 90% immediate relief and also confidence post the session. Doctor was also very helpful, understanding and explained relevant exercises. 3rd session was the last and got tremendous relief as compared to original situation. Doctor feels like a friend more than a doctor. Am very thankful to her.

Thankyou Dr Aparna Shanbaug for the excellent treatment you gave me. Not only was the treatment excellent, but the atmosphere of kindness and joy ministered to my spirit and helped me heal emotionally as well.

She not only treated my existing problems but also explained the future care.
