Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation · Synapse Physio, Mumbai
Physiotherapy Clinic in Mumbai Led by Dr. G.K. Balaji
Neuro, orthopaedic and post-surgery rehabilitation at our Mumbai centre, with one-to-one sessions planned around your condition and your daily routine.
Mumbai asks a lot from your body. Long commutes, crowded trains, stairs and hours at a desk all add up, and pain or weakness makes each of them harder. At Synapse Physio, a qualified physiotherapist assesses you in person and builds a plan around what your body needs and what your day demands.
Treatment outcomes differ from person to person.

Clinical leadership by Dr. G.K. Balaji

Physiotherapy Services at Our Mumbai Clinic
Pain, stiffness and weakness have a cause. Our Mumbai team finds it with a detailed assessment, then builds a plan around what is actually holding you back.
Neuro Physiotherapy and Stroke Rehabilitation in Mumbai
A stroke or another neurological condition can turn small tasks into big efforts, such as getting out of a chair, buttoning a shirt or crossing a room. Our neuro physiotherapy in Mumbai is shaped by Dr. Balaji's postgraduate training in neurology. We look closely at strength, balance, coordination and how well you control your movements, then set exercises you practise step by step with your physiotherapist. The same approach supports people with Parkinson's disease, spinal cord injury, facial palsy and nerve-related weakness. Family members are welcome in sessions, so they can help with exercises at home.
Back and Neck Pain Physiotherapy in Mumbai
Back and neck pain often builds quietly: a stiff neck from a laptop, an ache after a long train or bus ride, a sharp pain that runs down one leg. Our first job is to understand the source. It could be posture, a stiff joint, weak supporting muscles or pressure on a nerve. Your plan may include hands-on techniques, targeted exercises and practical advice on how you sit, lift and sleep. You also receive a short routine to follow between visits, so your progress continues outside the clinic.
Knee Replacement and Post-Surgery Rehabilitation in Mumbai
Surgery repairs the joint, and rehabilitation helps you use it again. Knee replacement physiotherapy in Mumbai at our centre typically starts with gentle movement and strengthening, then progresses to walking, stairs and balance in line with your surgeon's guidance. Your discharge summary and your surgeon's instructions stay at the centre of the plan. We follow the same careful process for post surgery rehabilitation in Mumbai after fractures, ligament repairs, spine surgery and other joint replacements.
Frozen Shoulder Treatment in Mumbai
With a frozen shoulder, simple things like putting on a shirt, reaching for an overhead handle or sleeping on your side become difficult. The condition usually passes through painful, stiff and recovery phases, so we match treatment to the phase you are in. Your physiotherapist uses gentle mobilisation, stretching and strengthening, and gives you exercises for home. We also examine your neck and upper back, because they can add to shoulder problems.
Also seen at our clinic: arthritis, sports and ligament injuries, muscle strains, and balance problems.

Home Physiotherapy
Home Physiotherapy in Mumbai
Some patients cannot make the journey to a clinic. Older adults with limited mobility, stroke survivors and people just back from hospital often find the trip tiring, and recovery can feel easier in familiar surroundings. Our physiotherapy at home in Mumbai brings assessment and treatment to your door.
At the first visit, your physiotherapist looks at your home setup, including bed height, staircases, lift access and the bathroom, then plans exercises that suit your space. Family members and caregivers learn how to assist safely between visits. Post-surgery rehabilitation at home follows the same one-to-one approach as sessions at our centre.
Ask About a Home Visit on WhatsApp →Home visits suit:
- ✓ Older adults who find travel tiring or unsafe
- ✓ Patients recovering from surgery or a fracture
- ✓ Stroke survivors and others with limited mobility
- ✓ Anyone whose doctor has advised limited movement
Home visits across Mumbai. Please contact us to confirm availability for your area.

FAQs
Questions Patients Ask Us in Mumbai
How long is a physiotherapy session at Synapse Physio in Mumbai?
The first visit is usually longer because it covers your history, a physical assessment and a discussion of your plan. Follow-up sessions focus on treatment and exercises. Exact timing depends on your condition, and your physiotherapist will confirm what to expect when you book your appointment.
What conditions do you treat at your physiotherapy clinic in Mumbai?
We see people with neurological conditions such as stroke, back and neck pain, frozen shoulder, knee and joint problems, and recovery after fractures or surgery, including knee replacement. If you are unsure whether physiotherapy suits your problem, a first assessment helps answer that question. Our Mumbai team will tell you plainly what we find.
Do you offer physiotherapy at home in Mumbai?
Yes. Home physiotherapy in Mumbai is available for patients who cannot travel comfortably, including older adults, stroke survivors and people recovering from surgery. A physiotherapist assesses you at home, plans exercises around your space and shows family members how to help. Please contact us to confirm availability for your area.
What are Dr. G.K. Balaji's qualifications?
Dr. G.K. Balaji holds a Master of Physiotherapy (MPT) in Neurology and a PhD in Physiotherapy. He has over 25 years of clinical experience and more than 30 international certifications. He leads the clinical team and the treatment approach at Synapse Physio, including our Mumbai centre.
What should I bring to my first physiotherapy visit?
Bring prescriptions, doctor's notes, and any MRI, X-ray or other scan reports. After surgery, add your discharge summary. Carry a list of current medicines and wear loose, comfortable clothing so the affected area can be examined. If you use a walking stick, brace or other support, bring it along.
How many physiotherapy sessions will I need?
The number depends on your condition, how long you have had it, your age and your general health. After the first assessment, your physiotherapist explains the plan and reviews progress at regular intervals. Recovery varies from person to person, so we avoid fixed promises on timelines.
