Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation

  In 2017, I walked into a conference hall expecting to learn something new. What I didn’t expect was to be shaken, transformed, and left with an experience that would live within me forever. As a part of the session, I volunteered for an activity. They gently blindfolded me, plugged my ears, and even restricted my ability to speak. In a matter of seconds, I lost all connection with the world as I knew it. Darkness. Silence. Voicelessness. I was wrapped in a vacuum. Volunteers held my hand and led me out of the hall. Outside, they left me to explore—with only my sense of touch and smell to guide me. Before the exercise began, they told me something that stayed with me deeply: “Reset your mind like that of a newborn child who is just beginning to explore the world.” Those words echoed in my heart as I stumbled forward, completely unaware of what was coming next. I reached out to feel objects, textures, surfaces—anything to tell me where I was. My mind was racing. How does a child wh...

Hey there! Let me introduce myself properly — I’m Mr. Thalamus, but friends call me The Relay King, Captain Connect, or simply T. I sit deep inside your brain, cool, composed, and always buzzing. You know, people often think the brain is all about the cortex (those outer folds), but trust me, without me, that so-called genius would just be a confused mess of incoming signals. I'm the one sorting, filtering, forwarding, and fine-tuning everything that comes into your system. Think of me as the WhatsApp group admin of your entire nervous system — I decide what goes to the right group at the right time. 🚨 What Do I Do, You Ask? Touch, Pain, Temperature? Pass it to the Sensory Cortex! Vision? Route it via the Lateral Geniculate Body — no delays! Hearing? That's the Medial Geniculate Body’s job — music to your ears! Motor planning? I help the cerebellum and basal ganglia do the cha-cha! Even emotions and memory? Yep, I’ve got a little hand in that too. Honestly, I’m so overworked, ...

“Your worst battle is between what you know and what you feel.” But what if the heart and brain could stop fighting… and start healing together? In neuro rehab, we see this every day. Not in textbooks — but in the eyes of a patient, in the hands of a caregiver, and in the soul of a therapist. The Brain Knows “You’ve had a stroke.” “You’ll need therapy.” “You must be patient.” It listens. It nods. It understands the science. It makes peace with the plan. But the Heart … it feels differently. “I miss who I was.” “I want my freedom back.” “Why is this happening to me?” It aches. It grieves. It doubts. This is the war we don’t talk about enough. Not between neurons or muscles — but between logic and emotion, between knowing and feeling. But Here's What We Know for Sure: The strongest comebacks come from the heart that refuses to quit. Yes, neuroplasticity is real. Yes, recovery is possible. But it becomes unstoppable when there’s love in the process, confidence in the journey, and pas...

  Some patients stay with us—not just in memory, but in spirit. Their struggles, their triumphs, their transformation... they remind us why we do what we do. He was young when stroke changed everything. But instead of fighting back, he withdrew. By the time he came to us, a whole year had passed. A year spent in isolation—physically present, but emotionally locked away. He had placed himself under house arrest, refusing to face the world or accept his condition. Anger consumed him. He pushed people away. His parents were exhausted—drained from running from hospital to hospital, heartbroken from watching their son spiral into silence. I still remember the day they cried in front of me, desperate for something to change. He had  spastic hemiparesis. His right arm was the biggest hurdle—stiff, spastic, and lacking voluntary control. Simple daily tasks were difficult. But we began therapy with structured, evidence-based practices: functional task training, repetition, and carefull...
