Common Causes and Symptoms

Early Osteo Arthritis

In early osteoarthritis, the cartilage becomes soft, thins out, and develops tiny cracks and surface fissures. Major contributing factors include joint malalignment or abnormal biomechanics, obesity, weak muscles, and previous joint injuries or surgeries. If left unaddressed, the condition can progress to significant cartilage loss, bone spur formation, and narrowing of the joint space.

Signs and Symptoms

  • Joint pain, especially during activity
  • Stiffness, especially in the morning
  • Limited range of motion
  • Joint swelling

Meniscus & Cartilage Injuries

Meniscus and cartilage injuries often result from trauma, such as sudden twisting or pivoting movements, or from degenerative changes over time.

Signs and Symptoms

  • Joint pain, especially during activity
  • Popping or clicking sensation in the joint
  • Swelling and stiffness
  • Difficulty fully extending the joint

Avascular necrosis (AVN)

AVN of the hip occurs when the blood supply to the femoral head is disrupted, leading to bone tissue death. 


It is commonly associated with trauma, prolonged corticosteroid use, and excessive alcohol consumption. Medical conditions that impair blood circulation, as well as treatments like radiation therapy and certain chemotherapy drugs, can also damage the blood vessels supplying the hip and contribute to AVN development.

Signs and Symptoms

  • Progressive hip pain

  • Limited range of motion

  • Pain worsening with activity

  • Groin pain when bearing weight

Bone Stress injuries & Stress Fractures

Bone Stress Injuries (BSIs) and Stress Fractures occur when repetitive mechanical loading exceeds the bone’s capacity to remodel and repair. They commonly arise from sudden increases in training intensity, duration, or frequency, combined with inadequate rest and recovery. 


Contributing factors include poor biomechanics, low bone mineral density, hormonal imbalances, and nutritional deficiencies such as low calcium or vitamin D. These conditions are often seen in athletes, dancers, and military recruits engaged in high-impact activities.

Signs and Symptoms

  • Localized pain that worsens with activity

  • Tenderness over the affected bone

  • Swelling or mild edema

  • Pain persisting even at rest

Anshul Butani

I suffered from a full ACL tear in my left knee while playing football in September last year. I was told that surgery was the only way forward, but after the surgery I was unable to walk or even bend my knee. Being a regular sportsperson, this took a huge toll on my physical and mental well being. Dr. Padmanaban and his team helped me through my recovery. They patiently guided me through re-building movement, strength, balance and agility in my knee over several weeks. I was also worried that since I had constantly shifted cities (Delhi to Bombay to Bangalore), this would hinder my recovery. But Dr. Padmanaban built a personalized recovery schedule for me to ensure that there are no obstacles in my healing. Now I am playing badminton, squash and football regularly, and preparing for a half marathon later this year. At the time of my injury I never believed I could do something like this again. Dr. Padmanaban and his team have made all of this possible, and I'm extremely thankful for that.

Stalwart Club

1.5 years ago, when my golfers elbow was at its worst, I could not even open a water bottle with my left arm. It's been a long and winding road to rebuild my strength and mobility and Dr Padmanabhan and Dr. Pandian's advice and rehab program over the last 7-8 months have proven invaluable in this journey. Looking forward to even greater PRs and highly recommend Dr. Padmanabhan and Dr. Pandian for any niggles or persistent injuries you may be dealing with.

Dhruva Sivakumar

I want to express my sincere gratitude to Aaron from Movementology for his exceptional guidance throughout my rehabilitation journey. I had an ACL partial tear, a slight meniscus tear, and trabecular fractures to my knee bone. Padmanaban Sir was the only doctor who suggested choosing non-operative rehab. From day one, Aaron helped me regain full knee extension and, after three months, assisted me in returning to jogging. I wholeheartedly recommend Aaron as a top-notch physiotherapist

Anupama Kothiyal

During one of my workout sessions , I had hurt my back in July 2022. On consulting a sports injury specialist I came to know that my SI joint ligaments were inflamed. Pain was excruciating . Basic activities such as getting up from the bed, getting in and out of car was or turning sides while sleeping were so painful. Even after a month of twice a week sessions of Physiotherapy did not help . One of our close friend referred Dr Padmanabhan to me . After assessing the degree of pain and movement Dr Padmanabhan created threes weeks plan for me . Under Ms Joshita’ s supervision , I was able to recover my pain free mobility and stability with in two weeks . After two weeks , more exercises were built on top of it to bring the core and Lower body strength back . It’s been a month and I am back to my running and strength training. I would highly recommend Dr Padmanabhan. Thank you so much .
