Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation in Kanakapura Road, Bengaluru

Orthopaedic, sports and post-operative physiotherapy focused on helping you move better, recover safely and return to everyday activities.

Physiotherapy at VBJ

VBJ Physiotherapy is the dedicated physiotherapy and rehabilitation service at VBJ Bone & Joint Clinic on Kanakapura Road, Bengaluru. Our focus is orthopaedic physiotherapy, structured post-operative rehabilitation and sports rehabilitation — the areas where careful, individualised movement therapy tends to make the biggest difference to how patients recover.

We work with adults across South Bengaluru who are managing an injury, recovering from surgery, or trying to move more comfortably again. Some patients come to us after seeing an orthopaedic surgeon; many others come directly because a knee is painful, a shoulder is stiff, a back is limiting them, or a return to sport has stalled. Physiotherapy is often a treatment path in its own right — it does not require a prior surgical opinion.

What physiotherapy at VBJ covers

Orthopaedic physiotherapy

Orthopaedic physiotherapy addresses conditions affecting bones, joints, muscles, ligaments and tendons. Every plan begins with a clear picture of the underlying diagnosis, the tissues involved, and what needs to change functionally. That clinical thinking is core to how we design a programme rather than an add-on. → Read more

Post-operative rehabilitation

Recovery after orthopaedic surgery is not the operation itself — it is what happens in the weeks and months that follow. VBJ Physiotherapy delivers structured, phase-based programmes for knee replacement, hip replacement, ACL reconstruction, meniscus, shoulder and fracture surgery, including surgery performed elsewhere. → Read more

Knee replacement rehabilitation

Rehabilitation after total or partial knee replacement runs through structured phases — early mobilisation and swelling control, progressive range and gait work, strengthening, and return to daily function. Recovery varies from patient to patient, and each programme is adjusted to what the knee is ready for. → Read more

ACL rehabilitation

ACL rehabilitation, whether after reconstruction or in a non-operative pathway, is structured around progressive phases and criteria-based milestones rather than a fixed calendar. Return-to-sport happens when strength, control and sport-specific tasks are ready. Dedicated page coming soon.

Sports physiotherapy

Sports physiotherapy covers cricket, football, badminton, tennis, running, CrossFit, gym training, dance and more. Common referrals include ACL rehabilitation, meniscus, ankle sprains, chronic instability, muscle tears, tendinopathies, return-to-running programmes and overhead-athlete shoulder rehabilitation. Dedicated page coming soon.

Back pain rehabilitation

Non-specific back pain, disc-related pain and sciatica often respond well to structured physiotherapy alongside sensible ergonomics and gradual return to activity. Where a case shows red-flag features, an orthopaedic or medical review is arranged. Dedicated page coming soon.

Shoulder rehabilitation

Physiotherapy for rotator cuff pain, frozen shoulder, shoulder instability, impingement and post-surgical shoulder recovery. Programmes are staged and progressed with the shoulder's healing timeline. Dedicated page coming soon.

Fracture rehabilitation

Rehabilitation after a fracture — whether treated with a cast or with orthopaedic fixation — is often what determines final function. Structured programmes restore joint range, muscle strength and functional confidence. Dedicated page coming soon.

Geriatric rehabilitation

For adults over 60, movement is a health outcome. Structured programmes focus on balance, functional strength, gait, fall prevention and rehabilitation after falls, fractures, or joint replacement. Dedicated page coming soon.

Functional rehabilitation

Functional rehabilitation is the through-line across every programme we run — gait training, balance, mobility, movement quality, strength and exercise-based rehabilitation, adjusted to what each patient needs to be able to do in their daily life.

How assessment works

Every new patient is assessed. We take a full history, examine the affected region, review any imaging you bring, and agree the plan and goals with you before starting treatment. Bring any recent scans, reports or discharge summaries if you have them — if you don't, we work from clinical examination too. You will leave the first appointment with a starting home programme and a plan for follow-up.

When physiotherapy is appropriate

Physiotherapy is worth considering when:

Physiotherapy does not require a referral from a doctor.

When an orthopaedic review may be required

Physiotherapy is not a substitute for medical assessment when certain signs are present. Please see an orthopaedic doctor (or your GP first) if you have:

Signs that suggest medical review first

  • Severe pain following a recent injury
  • A joint that will not straighten, is locked, or has given way repeatedly
  • Rapid, unexplained swelling of a joint
  • Fever with joint pain
  • Numbness, weakness, or loss of bladder or bowel control associated with back pain
  • Pain that wakes you every night and is not improving
  • A visible deformity after injury
  • Progressive weakness in a limb
  • A previous cancer diagnosis with new bone pain

If you are unsure whether physiotherapy or a doctor's opinion is the right next step, message us on WhatsApp — we can help you decide before you book anything.

Why coordinated orthopaedic + physiotherapy care can be useful

Where a case needs an orthopaedic opinion, imaging review, or coordination with a surgeon, physiotherapy and the orthopaedic team share the same location, and communication is direct. Where a case does not need surgical input, physiotherapy stands on its own. Coordination is offered where it is genuinely useful — not required by default.

FAQs

Do I need a doctor's referral to see a physiotherapist?

No. You can book directly. If your problem needs medical investigation before treatment is safe, the physiotherapist will tell you and help arrange the appropriate next step.

What conditions do you help with?

Orthopaedic conditions of the knee, shoulder, hip, back, neck and foot; sports injuries; post-operative rehabilitation; fracture rehabilitation; balance and mobility concerns in older adults. If you're unsure whether your case is a fit, WhatsApp us — we can advise before you book.

Can I do physiotherapy without seeing an orthopaedic doctor?

Yes. Physiotherapy is a standalone service at VBJ. We involve the orthopaedic team only when a case genuinely needs it.

What happens at my first assessment?

The physiotherapist takes a history, examines the affected region, reviews any imaging you bring, explains what appears to be going on, and agrees the plan with you. You leave with a starting home programme and a plan for follow-up.

Do you treat sports injuries?

Yes. Sports rehabilitation is a core service — including ACL, meniscus, ankle, shoulder and muscle injuries, and return-to-sport programming.

Do you offer rehabilitation for surgery performed elsewhere?

Yes. Bring your operative report and any post-operative instructions from your surgeon. We coordinate with the surgical team on request.

Is physiotherapy painful?

Some techniques may cause short-term discomfort, and beginning to load a healing tissue can feel uncomfortable at first. Sessions are progressed carefully — persistent, sharp or worsening pain is not a normal part of good physiotherapy.

When should I see an orthopaedic doctor instead of a physiotherapist?

Please see the red-flag list above. If any of those signs are present, or if you're unsure, contact us — we'll help you decide the appropriate next step.

What should I wear?

Loose or athletic clothing that lets us examine the affected region. Shorts for lower-limb assessments; a vest or T-shirt for upper-limb.

Do you provide home physiotherapy?

Home physiotherapy availability may depend on the patient's requirements and current service availability. Please contact the team to enquire.
