Dr. Manjunath M works full-time with the orthopaedic, neurology, surgery and OB-GYN teams at Vivekananda Hospital. Patients get physiotherapy coordinated with their treating specialist, which is particularly valuable for post-surgery recovery, stroke rehabilitation and pre/post-natal care.
Monday to Saturday - Two slots daily
Inpatient physiotherapy for admitted patients (post-surgery, stroke recovery, bedside rehabilitation) is provided at bedside as per treating doctor's orders.
Hospital-integrated physiotherapy with sports medicine specialisation
Dr. Manjunath M is the Full-time Consultant Physiotherapist at Vivekananda Hospital, Begumpet. He holds a Bachelor of Physiotherapy (BPT, 4.5-year degree with clinical internship) and a PG Diploma in Sports Medicine. With over 10 years of hands-on practice, his focus areas include sports injury rehabilitation, post-surgery recovery, neurological rehabilitation and pre/post-natal physiotherapy.
The Sports Medicine PG Diploma is his clinical differentiator. Sports physiotherapy addresses not just the injury but the underlying biomechanical patterns that caused it. For recreational athletes with recurrent injuries, weekend sport enthusiasts dealing with tennis elbow or runner's knee, and post-surgery patients returning to sport, this specialist training translates into faster, more durable recovery.
His clinical practice at Vivekananda is explicitly hospital-integrated rather than standalone-clinic style. Post-surgery patients (knee replacement, hip replacement, ACL reconstruction, spine surgery) receive physiotherapy coordinated with Dr. Krishna Y and Dr. Shiv Sandeep (Orthopaedics). Stroke and Parkinson's rehabilitation is coordinated with Dr. G. Manvitha Reddy (Neurology) and Dr. K.V.V. Rajashekhar (Neurosurgery). Pre-natal and post-natal physiotherapy coordinates with Dr. Shalini B and Dr. P. Padmaja (OB-GYN). This integrated care pathway is the hospital's advantage over standalone physiotherapy clinics.
Daily OPD covers the bulk of common presentations: back pain, neck pain, frozen shoulder, knee pain, sciatica, heel pain, tennis elbow, sports injuries, post-fracture rehabilitation, and post-surgery recovery. Each session combines manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, electrotherapy where appropriate, and patient-specific home exercise programmes. The goal is not session dependence but functional recovery with sustainable self-management.
Good physiotherapy does not make you dependent on sessions. It gives you the exercises, movement patterns and body awareness to manage your condition at home. The best outcome is a patient who leaves physiotherapy with the tools to stay well.
