About

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.

Patient Questions

Frequently asked questions

How do I book a physiotherapy session with Dr. Manjunath M?
Call +91 72079 04418 or WhatsApp the same number. OPD hours are Monday to Saturday, 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM (morning) and 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM (evening). Appointments are recommended so session duration and equipment can be prepared. Walk-ins are accommodated subject to availability.
Do I need a doctor's referral for physiotherapy?
No. Direct consultations are accepted for common problems like back pain, neck pain, sports injuries and frozen shoulder. For post-surgery, stroke rehabilitation or serious neurological conditions, coordination with the treating specialist is helpful so the rehabilitation plan matches the medical plan. Bring any previous imaging (X-ray, MRI) if available.
How many physiotherapy sessions will I need?
It depends on the condition. Acute sports injuries may resolve in 6-10 sessions. Chronic back pain often needs 10-15 sessions. Post-surgery rehabilitation can take 3-6 months with varying session frequency. Dr. Manjunath M discusses the expected course at the first visit and reassesses progress every 4-5 sessions to adjust the plan.
What is Sports Medicine physiotherapy and how is it different?
Sports Medicine physiotherapy specifically addresses injuries from athletic activity and the biomechanical patterns that caused them. Unlike general physiotherapy which focuses on symptom relief, sports physiotherapy includes movement analysis, sport-specific rehabilitation, return-to-sport testing, and injury prevention programmes. His PG Diploma in Sports Medicine provides the structured training for this focus.
I had knee replacement surgery. When should I start physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy typically starts the day after knee replacement surgery with gentle movement exercises at bedside. Structured outpatient physiotherapy usually begins once the surgical wound is settled (7-10 days). Full recovery takes 3-4 months with progressive exercises. Coordination with Dr. Krishna Y or Dr. Shiv Sandeep (Orthopaedics) ensures rehabilitation timing matches surgical recovery.
Can physiotherapy help with stroke recovery?
Yes, significantly. Post-stroke physiotherapy is one of the most important components of recovery, working on affected limb movement, balance, gait retraining, and functional activities. Starting early (within days of the stroke, once medically stable) produces better outcomes. The programme is coordinated with Dr. G. Manvitha Reddy (Neurology) and continues for weeks to months depending on stroke severity.
Is physiotherapy safe during pregnancy?
Yes, when guided by a trained physiotherapist. Pre-natal physiotherapy helps with back pain, pelvic pain, posture and safe strengthening. It avoids high-risk positions and excessive abdominal pressure. Post-natal physiotherapy focuses on abdominal recovery (diastasis recti), pelvic floor rehabilitation and safe return to activity. Coordination with Dr. Shalini B or Dr. P. Padmaja (OB-GYN) ensures the programme fits the pregnancy stage.
What happens in a typical physiotherapy session?
A first session includes detailed history, physical examination, movement assessment and often an initial treatment. Follow-up sessions usually include manual therapy (joint mobilisation, soft tissue work), therapeutic exercises, electrotherapy where indicated (TENS, ultrasound), and home exercise instruction. Each session lasts 30-45 minutes typically.
Do I need to come daily or weekly?
Usually 2-3 sessions per week in the initial phase, tapering to once weekly as the condition improves, and then discharge with a home exercise plan for self-maintenance. Post-surgery and post-stroke rehabilitation may need daily sessions initially. The schedule is planned based on your condition and response to treatment.
Are physiotherapy services covered by insurance?
Inpatient physiotherapy (during hospital admission for surgery, stroke, etc.) is typically covered under the main treatment package. Outpatient physiotherapy coverage varies by policy - some cover it as part of post-surgery rehabilitation, others require separate approval. Vivekananda Hospital is empanelled with CGHS, ESI, Aarogyasri, Arogyabhadratha and 25+ private insurers. Bring policy documents for confirmation.
