Physical therapy (PT), also known as physiotherapy, is one of the allied health professions that, by using mechanical force and movements (bio-mechanics or kinesiology), manual therapy, exercise therapy and electrotherapy, remediates impairments and promotes mobility and function. Physical therapy is used to improve a patient’s quality of life through examination, diagnosis, prognosis and physical intervention. It is performed by physical therapists (known as physiotherapists in many countries).

My experince with AktivHealth
Recently, I happened to had one session with AktivHealth at their Gurgaon centre. Their team head Mr.Surya who was the young, super energetic expert took the lead. Interactive session with him was the real life changing experience for me. That was the time when I can firmly say, that physiotherapy is much more technical and is a wider useful technique available which we as layman hardly know. Imagine, how would you react when someone tells you, that with the help of Physiotherapy you can do weight loss. Enterting into their studio with gym lookalike machines, I pop up this question to Mr.Surya that what is the difference between Gym & Physiotherapy centre? That day I came to know that the most famous term “Tennis Elbow” which ace crickter Sachin Tendulkar made famous was a muscle problem which was cured by physiotherapy. According to this young expert, Gym trainer has limitations and know basics about how to gain or loose muscles. But they dont know how to get injured person work out, or how to work on the particular required area or muscle for cure but the physiotherapist knows each and every muscle by name and can make u workout even the person is injured to cure or to make him exercise for fitness like sportsman. After all this discussion, he had a check list they usually start with their client. He made me did couple of exercises like balancing on the ball with eyes open and closed, squads, planks. Also he did observe my muscles by checking my posture while standing and while lie down. After done with this observation, he did the best which I was eagerly waiting for. By made me lie down, he strecheed my upper body & whoa so many sounds of cracks echoed in the room which was the signal of relaxing of my stiff back muscles. He also trained me for few exercise which will help me in the relaxing back muscles so relief in back pain. It was the complete one hour sesssion. The difference between the other physiotherpay centres and AktivHealth is almost the same difference you feel when you take a head massage at home from a family member or at some well known salons/parlours brand from an expert. It was a well designed fruitful session for me. So freinds, if you required any of the below mentioned problems, AktivHealth is the best professional solution available.
