Dr. Pratik Desai (Physiotherapist)

I had persistent shoulder and upper-back pain due to long hours of sitting at work. Dr. Pratik and his team were excellent — the pain reduced significantly and was completely gone within 10 sessions. They also focused on strengthening my back overall, which has helped a lot. Would definitely recommend this clinic.

Dr. Prateek is calm, composed and knows his craft.

I reached out to Dr. Prateek as my mother had undergone bilateral TKR and a couple of key parameters were not improving and I was worried.

He did a thorough evaluation and chalked out a plan with goals & timelines. He assigned Physiotherapist Kavipriya (under his supervision) to work with my mother. Within a week I started to see measurable improvements and after a month my mother showed marked improvement overall (Range of motion, mobility & balance); her confidence also improved. I must mention throughout this time; Dr. Prateek did regular check ins & answered all my queries patiently. I am happy with the outcome and will definitely recommend Dr. Prateek.

I also want to give a Big Shout Out to Kavipriya Ma’am; she is ************** driven, very hardworking & sincere, * **** **** *** *** ** *** **** ******* She put in a lot of hard work (a lot!) and would come up with different strategies to get effective results. Thank You Kavipriya-I am so impressed with you!

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.

I visited this clinic shortly after undergoing MPFL surgery and initially arrived using a walker. Thanks to the dedicated care, expert physiotherapy, and consistent support from the team, I was able to start walking again within just a few weeks.The physiotherapists and doctor ( Mr.Prateek) are not only highly skilled but also incredibly approachable and compassionate. I would especially like to express my heartfelt thanks to Kavi, who went above and beyond in her care. She managed all her patients with genuine empathy and professionalism, always making sure I felt supported and motivated throughout my recovery journey.I truly appreciate the excellent treatment and positive atmosphere at the clinic. Highly recommended for anyone seeking quality physiotherapy.

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 !!

I had an excellent experience with Pratik while seeking physiotherapy for my wife after her knee surgery. He is a highly professional *** ************* physiotherapist, *** ** *** **** ** *****

From the initial consultation to the treatment sessions, he took the time to thoroughly understand her concerns and tailored a personalized recovery plan that suited her needs. The exercises were highly effective, and we noticed significant improvement in her mobility and strength.

The clinic is well-equipped and has a warm, welcoming atmosphere, making each visit comfortable and reassuring.

I highly recommend Pratik to anyone in need of expert physiotherapy care!

My experience with Dr Pratik has been nothing short of brilliant.

I have visited 4 physiotherapists before settling with Dr Pratik to handle my pre & post ACL surgery care. The things that worked most for me are as follows:

1. Extremely personalised care: while a lot of PTs gave the same type of treatment, Dr Pratik made sure it was customised to my need, ability & still made sure I was making visible progress. He, along with his team, continuously monitored my progress & reassessed goals. I went to him with audacious goals like getting back to hiking 4 months after surgery, and he was able to get me there

2. Flexibility: in terms of both communication & training schedule, Dr Pratik gave me high amount of flexibility. This ensured that my recovery wasn’t impacted by travel/busy days

I would highly recommend him to anyone struggling with recovery & looking for a doctor who can get you results

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 was suffering from a Knee issue where my Knee cap had shifted slightly on one side. I had visited several doctors and other physiotherapists without getting much assistance. But when I visited Dr Pratik, he carefully and thoroughly analyzed the issue and explained the root cause to me. After that he not only helped me with all the workouts and stretches but also described how they will be improving the particular muscles. I thoroughly recommend him to anyone since he has in-depth knowledge and is very friendly. It has been a wonderful experience so far.
