Dr. Valmiki Karthik (Physiotherapist)

Doctor explained the root cause of the problem, and helped me build the understanding rather than simply giving the diagnosis and treatment.

Dr Kartick is a genius. ** ** ****** ************* ***** *** **** ** ********** I was suffering from Lower back pain for 3 months & explored all possible options in Bangalore for recovery but in vain. Dr Kartick diagnosis was spot on in 2 minutes. He explained the problems & also suggested a program for recovery with a single medicine. His teammate Dr Naman took over & was highly dedicated, patient & helped me recover in 10 sessions. Dry needling, cupping etc were regularly done to help me recover. I highly recommend this team.

Dr Karthik and his team are great. They are very good in identifying the issues and progress with right therepies (manual as well as machines).

Therapist Naman helped me alot to recover from tendon issue that was causing a lot of knee pain and kept me away from workouts and physical activities for long. After my therepy sessions, I feel much better now and have resumed my workouts.

Therepies were a mix of machines, manual therapies and strengthening exercises. It was a great mix and certainly helped me alot.

Thank you the team ARCH!

The main doctor (Valmiki) with whom I had taken appointment met me briefly, asked questions about my case history, goals, previous physio experiences etc, shared some standard physio statements and then handed over to a therapist for assessment. He never returned to either look at the report or help me understand insights from the report, or to discuss next steps or check how I would like to proceed. The junior therapist provided a pretty basic interpretation of the report *** **** ** ** **** *** ***** ******* ******** *** ***** ****** **** **** * ******* *** ** ***** ****** * ***** *** ** ******* * ***** ** **** *** **** *** ******* ** *** ********** ***** *************** ******* ****** ** **** * ********

Went there for foot pain issue. They asked me about the issue and said we will provide some treatment. They did some treatment with machines, but there was no explanation given to me about the issue I am facing or how long the treatment will take. The treatment was being done by some junior doctor and there was another doctor who kept asking the junior doctor whether the treatment will help the patient or not. None of them seemed to be sure about it but still continued. By the time treatment was done the doctor who initially did the checkup was gone and there was no one to consult or guide me about the future course of treatment. They asked me to pay for the bill of the treatment which they should have confirmed with me before starting the treatment. Also they offered me a package for 10 therapies but again they didn’t know will it help me or not. No explanation or anything given I had to ask for everything. Even for the exercises I should do at home I had to ask myself and there was another fourth person who was completely unaware of my issue came and suggested some exercises to me

I was having neck and back pain, I visited Arch Physio and met Dr Karthik. Karthik and his team are really amazing. Specially Dr Karthik, he is very friendly and polite, he listens to your problem and explains it to you very well like what's the reason for your problem and how we are going to resolve it. I remember when I visited for the first time, he said I don't want you to be my regular customer and promised me that we will bring your pain from 10 to 1 on a scale of 1-10 and he stood by his word. After the treatment of 14days, I can say I am feeling really great, I don't have any neck or back pain.After therapy he took me for some exercise and asked me to do those exercises with his guidance, he gives a generous amount of time to each patient. I highly recommend Dr. Valmiki Karthik.

Karthik and his team run an intimate set up with customer care at the Center of it. Every session starts with “how are you feeling” and then responding to your issues. They stay flexible to treatment options and there is a strong element of manual manipulation rather than just placing you on machines (IFT, Traction). The final part is an exercise session which focuses on prevention rather then symptomatic relief only.

Karthik is a confident doctor who has a clear view on what to do but is also very open to patient suggestions.

I am unreserved in my recommendation for this clinic. One small feedback that I have for them is to be more visible in their sanitation and do it in front of the patient especially in these COVID days (but I know that they do it because I smell alcohol on the traction bench).

I was suffering from back pain for 3 months and consulted at some other physiotherapy center, but that wasn't helpful.

Then I came across Arch Physiotherapy. The thing that I liked about Arch is they explain you the root cause and the corresponding treatment and how that will be helpful to you. The team here is very friendly and help you with full dedication. In 6-7 sessions, my pain came down drastically and now it's almost gone. The exercises suggested were really helpful. Thank you Dr Karthik and team. Keep doing good work.

I went to the doctor on Sunday when I had wrist pain. Doctor recommended me to take 10-14 sessions. I took 7 sessions and there was no relief at all. ******* * *** ******** **** ** **** **** **** ***** ********** * **** **** ** ** *** ****** * ******* when I complained him about my shoulder issue, he started defending his therapies instead of checking the problem with my shoulder.Post 7 classes, I waited for a week *** **** ******** *** ***** * **** ***** **** ******* *** ***** *** **** ** **** ****** **** ******* *** ****** ****** **** *** *** ***** ****** *** ** ******** ** **** ***** ******* *** ******* ******* *** ********* *** ******* ** **** Also doctor does not care post first session when he takes all the money in advance, then his staff ***** *** **** **** ****** *** ******* ******** **** ***** ****** ******** *** he won't even be available most of the times.*** *** ******** * **** *** **** ****** ********* ** ****** ****** *** ***** ** ***** *** **** **** ****** **** **** ******* **** **** *** ******* ****** **** ******** ******** ******* ******* ** *********I strongly advice people not to visit, as you will not only burn your money *** **** ********* **** *******

I came to the clinic due to lower back muscle cramps and the doctors did a few types of Physiotherapies which worked out great for me and the pain has reduced significantly. Especially Dr. Rajesh was very careful and professional with his work, truly appreciable.
