Thanks to those who trust us...

We started moving on our path to success 8-9 years back and named our team of physios as physio-synchronized. This was probably the first of its kind effort as far as we know.We met people,shared the idea and employed physios who would earn for themselves.We maintained  the channel between our team and patients.   Other than our base camp at Koramangala, we were consulting at 8-9 different places.These included hospitals,sport academies,lifestyle management centres,old age homes,special schools and even sport events outside Bangalore.Regular job offers within the normal professional boundaries came in plenty because of our academic record but we were determined to move in a different direction.   We were also a part of publishing a locality news paper, this helped us to propagate our idea to some extent.Internet had still not become a publicity tool for local business,still we tried our hands on creating web information as well.   Back then fitness ...

Physio is more than just pain management

http://www.physicalhealthconsultants.com/the-physio-way.html From the very beginning of medicine or treatment in ancient times,there have been two aspects of health 1)Physical 2)Physiological These two aspects are inter related yet different from each other. Physical Health and how it affects general internal (physiological) health were well understood by our ancestors and that gave birth to the science of YOGA and other ancient exercise forms.Physical exercise in a well designed format is a part of ancient Indian and Chinese forms of treatment. History suggests origin of physical health concepts in Asia. Interesting fact is that all modern form of exercise is either directly or indirectly based on the same old format which was suggested thousands of years back. Present day Physiotherapy is a modern concept with a back ground in anatomy and physiology and it all started around world war II to rehabilitate wounded soldiers.Present day physiotherapist is well equipped with knowl...

Injury prevention and treatment for Dancers

This is needless to say that knowledge of right movements and basics of bio mechanics helps dancers to prolong their career span.  Landing techniques is a broad term that decides the way you touch the ground while  you manoeuvre your body during various moves. Few factors that play key role in landing related injuries are as follows:   Surf ace - Frequent change in quality of floor surface leads to altered proprioception (sense of joint position).For example,many auditoriums have raked stage that inclines towards the audience; a dancer who has practised on flat surface may need more effort to keep antero-posterior (forward- backward) balance.This is a common cause of injury during final rehearsals before shows. Similarly sudden transition from sprung floor to cemented floor during tours may need adjustment in impact of landing.   Dance form - Some dance forms are physically more demanding than others.Modern contemporary dance styles have a huge scope ...

Cardio Workout planned by PT

www.physicalhealthconsultants.com Co relating cardiac problems with only old age is a thing of past, in present times cardiac problems can be age independent.Stress, both physical and mental has increased in urban lifestyle and thus has left almost all of us prone to stress related health issues. Many other old  theories and myths do not hold good.We need to understand that heart attacks can come to anyone and anytime.We also need to understand that everyone with a family history of cardiac problems is not prone to heart  attack.Heart attacks can be silent and may not be necessarily associated with chest pain.Blood pressure fluctuations also may not always show the typical signs and symptoms known to be related to B.P problems.There are various tests available to evaluate cholesterol levels and artery blockage percentage, these may be indicative of problems if any. You have a healthy heart or not can be decided only by specialist and not by your own assumptions based on y...

Mountain Climbing and Trekking

 We have included both these under the same title because of many similarities but for professionals, they know how trekking and mountaineering needs are different.Getting into intricacies is not our target but would like to mention that fitness levels need to be good before getting out for any of the above.Chances of injury is very high for those who do not have adequate strength, flexibility and endurance.One of the most important needs of a trek or mountain climbing is proper gear including good footwear,first aid kit and oxygen if necessary.Everyone should have trained for cardiovascular fitness for some days prior to the trip.As oxygen levels start dipping,body limits are tested to maximum. Fall of temperature with altitude is the leading cause of casualties.Adventure levels are high but at the same time body needs to be well prepared.No one should carry an injury with him, its better to stay away if your physio has advised you to do so.Ankle and knee injuries in particular ...

Underwater Fitness : Hydrotherapy

http://www.physicalhealthconsultants.com/ Swimming as an exercise is much more useful than generally understood.Water provides a maintained resistance during movement, thus helping generalised toning of muscles.Chest is under constant pressure from all sides so it takes a slightly different effort from lungs as compared to lung function in any other exercise.It can be used by sports person to increase body flexibility and endurance.Aqua aerobics may be used to improve agility.Sri Lanka Cricket team used aqua aerobics widely before 1996 World Cup to increase fitness levels and this totally transformed the team which went on to win the tournament.Generally swimming is a very safe exercise when it comes to injury rehabilitation just that your physio or specialised hydro physio therapist needs to help you with quantifying your effort under water.Hydrotherapy as a branch of medical rehabilitation is a widely accepted phenomenon in many parts of the world.Swimming as a leisure activity ...

Cycling is good for everyone

The Great Science of Yoga

Yoga is one of the earliest forms of structured physical activity with well defined benefits.Looking at modern lifestyles, it seems as if yoga was actually always meant to be a part of 21st century chaotic lifestyle.This is not only an exercise style for physical fitness but its also a pathway to disciplined living. It leads to  mind and body co-ordination which in turn creates a sense of spiritual calmness. Mental calm or body flexibility are not the only benefits of regular yoga practise, there is a lot more that this ancient science can provide to our modern urban lifestyle.Weight loss benefits of yoga are presented in many international studies and research.Interestingly when practised regularly, a great control over breathing patterns is achieved which  causes favourable changes in metabolic rates and lung and cardiac functions. This form of exercise is always considered as a perfect way to maintain mechanical structure of the body i.e. joint structure and function.I...
