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.

I had been experiencing stiffness and persistent lower-back pain for quite some time. I had previously consulted two or three physiotherapists, but unfortunately, I didn’t experience much relief. The exercises they recommended were also quite complex and time-consuming.

Dr. Aparna Shanbag’s approach was simple yet highly effective. She provided magnetic therapy along with a few easy core-strengthening exercises, and the results were remarkable. After just two sessions, I began feeling significantly better.

I’m very happy with the treatment and would definitely recommend Dr. Aparna Shanbag.

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.

When I consulted Dr. Aparna Shanbhag, she immediately understood my condition and provided clear guidance along with highly effective treatment.
