Common Causes and Symptoms

Shin Splints

Typically develop from overuse in running or jumping activities, especially on hard surfaces. Sudden increases in training intensity or volume can overwhelm bone adaptation. Poor footwear and biomechanical issues like flat feet contribute to increased stress on shin bones.

Signs and Symptoms

Pain along shinbone
Tenderness to touch
Pain during exercise
Mild swelling

Achillis Tendinopathy

Develops from repetitive stress on the Achilles tendon, particularly in running and jumping sports. Sudden increases in training intensity without proper conditioning can overload the tendon. Poor footwear choices and tight calf muscles contribute to increased strain on the tendon.

Signs and Symptoms

Pain and stiffness along the Achilles tendon,
Pain increase in the morning or after activity
Swelling or thickening around the tendon
Pain that worsens with running, jumping, or climbing stairs

Chronic Plantar fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis occurs due to excessive strain or microtears in the plantar fascia (the thick band of tissue that supports your foot arch). Common causes include tight calf muscles or limited ankle mobility, flat feet or high arches, poor foot mechanics, sudden increase in activity or training load, inadequate or worn-out footwear, and prolonged standing, walking, or running on hard surfaces.

Signs and Symptoms

Sharp heel pain, especially in morning
Arch pain when walking
Pain worsening after rest
Difficulty with weight-bearing

Complex Ankle Sprains

These injuries often occur during sports or uneven surface walking, involving severe twisting of the ankle beyond normal range. Multiple ligaments can be damaged simultaneously. Previous ankle injuries increase vulnerability, especially without proper rehabilitation. High-impact landings and sudden directional changes contribute significantly.

Signs and Symptoms

Severe pain and swelling
Instability when walking
Bruising and tenderness
Difficulty bearing weight

Our Patient Journeys

Manoj Warrier

I visited Padmanabhan's Movementology clinic for my son's ACL and meniscus injury. Orthopedics had recommended surgery and I wanted to try a non-surgical approach. Dr. Padmanabhan reassured us that surgery ay not be required. He entrusted my son's treatment with Dr. Pandian. Pandian gradually built the strength of the ACL. He was very flexible with the schedule and ensured that he recovered completely. From not being able to end the knee to now being fully ready to ensure his football training, Pandian guided my son through the complete recovery and rehab process. We were so impressed by the treatment that the entire family enrolled there to get rid of our various pain related issues.We are all on our way to recovery, thanks to Dr. Padmanabhan and his team of dedicated, reliable, friendly and expert therapists. Highly recommend Dr. Padmanabhan's Movementology clinic for any one to recover from sports and joint related injuries without surgery

Namish

I came here to get a 2nd opinion about my torn ligament in my left ankle. They assured me there is no need of surgery and immediately put me in physiotherapy. Ajay was great and he pushed me to my limits in strengthening my leg and the recovery period of 4 months came down to 2. Now I can go to gym regularly and soon can get back to playing football at my 100%. Thanks a lot Dr. Padmanaban and Dr. Ajay for the speedy recovery!

Anjana Setlur

I came to Dr. Padmanabhan with a bad knee - Degenerative osteoarthritis with meniscus tear, ACL sprain, baker’s cyst and what not! I didn’t want to undergo surgery so he and his awesome team (especially Joshita) helped me get back to doing all the things I couldn’t do earlier. I am functionally fit now and continue my CrossFit (@Ovalcrew) and regular walks without any knee pain! His clinic is very well equipped and the staff are excellent too. The warmth and care at Padmanabhan’s Movementology Academy help you heal faster. Highly recommend this place!

Capt. Dev Krishnan

Kudos to Mr. Padmanaban for opening his second clinic in Bangalore. I�ve known him for over a decade since he got my teenage son out of a wheelchair, I�m sure there are many more like me who have had their lives changed for the better and I�m sure many many more will benefit from this venture. Mr.Padmanaban is well known both in India and abroad, for his knowledge, skill and specialisation in both post surgery and especially preventive physiotherapy - which focuses on the prevention of injuries and illnesses, promoting a healthier lifestyle, and improving the overall quality of life. His expertise along with his use of the latest in technology in diagnostic equipment and monitoring aids will surely benefit a lot of sports men and women including the aging and elderly.

I got knee injury from football, Just one session with them and my knee cartilage injury was cured

Adithya Pradeep

I can't speak highly enough of the incredible team at Momentology. After an unexpected ATFL tear, I was genuinely worried about how this injury would affect me as a badminton player. I feared my leg might never be the same again. But Dr. Diya, under the guidance of Dr. Padmanaban, and the entire team at Momentology proved me completely wrong. From day one, their dedication and expertise were evident. Not only did they help me regain my strength�they actually brought my leg to a level even better than before. Every single staff member showed such compassion and commitment, always going above and beyond to ensure the best possible outcome for me and every other client. The atmosphere at Momentology is genuinely uplifting, driven by professionals who are clearly passionate about what they do. I can�t thank them enough for this amazing experience. If you're considering physiotherapy, I recommend Momentology wholeheartedly. You�ll be in the hands of experts who care deeply about your recovery and will work tirelessly to bring you back to, or even beyond, your best.

Uma Prasad

I have been suffering from this knee pain (patella condomalecia) since last 2 years. Been to multiple physiotherapy clinics. Tried all possible places. Finally heard from my football group about this place called Movementology and they opened a branch in HSR. I just went for consultation and was impressed with the treatment plan shared and the details abut issue and the solution to retify this. Dr. Padmanaban asked Miss Annapoorna to take care of my problem and set up a recurring schedule for consultation with him. I have not been very dedicated to do the exercises in home and weekly 2 sessions were sufficient to make me feel the difference after 3 months. We know its long but fruitful. I am able to squat now. Do lunges. Wall sit with good weight. Do leg related all workout. The regular pain which I had on my knee is gone. I feel more confidence on my legs. Thanks to Miss Annapoorna. Must visit for any chronic pains and you will not regret.

Akshay Ramachandran

Immensely grateful to Dr. Padmanaban and Dr. Sushmita Paul for curing my acute plantar fasciitis. Mine was a severe case (for several months, I could not walk for 1-2 days after I played tennis). Saw an 80% improvement in just 4 sessions and near 100% improvement after about 8 sessions. I'm back to playing tennis again with no pain and could not be more happy :)

Bharti Yadav

I had a wonderful experience at Movementology for addressing my neck muscle spasm, hip pain, and ankle rehab. The assessment process was thorough, and the exercises recommended were highly effective. The team here is truly exceptional including Padmanaban, Jennifer and Abin. I've seen significant improvement in my mobility and pain levels, and I would highly recommend Movementology to anyone seeking expert care for physiotherapy and rehabilitation.

Bharath T S

I regularly play tennis and had shoulder impingement and was suffering from pain for more than a month. Consulted couple of doctors but they just gave pain killers and asked to rest. I was referred to padmanabhan movementology by my uncle. Ajay helped me out with the course of treatment and strengthening. The treatment approach is very holistic and gradual. However by the end of treatment I was able to do all rigorous excercises without any pain on the shoulder. I am very happy to be back to playing tennis and completely free of pain. I would wholeheartedly refer this place if any injuries, and they are specialised in sports fitness and strengthening. Special thanks to Ajay!! Keep up the great work!!

Ridhi Gupta

Great centre! The therapists are well trained and are hospitable. They know their job well and take interest in genuinely healing their patients. Dr Padmanabhan is experienced and pleasant to consult with. Joshita was my therapist and did a great job with my shoulder rehabilitation post my surgery. I went to her post 2-3 months of my surgery where my movements were restricted. She worked on my shoulder mobility and strength which really helped in my overall recovery. Keep up the good work!

Gaurav Bakshi

This place is awesome. Very well trained professionals and equipment at their center. My calf muscle tear was extremely bad but both Pady and Ajay worked diligently on it and got it fixed. Trust me it�s worth visiting.

Anirudh Trichy

I had a complete ACL tear while I was playing football which required surgery. I had visited Dr Padmanaban for my rehab. He had assigned Mr Aaron as my physio, and after completing my rehab plan, I was more than happy with the service. He was very professional, and always made sure I was doing the right things. A great person who was not only my physio, but also my friend

Ajith Kumar Reddy Thimmareddy

I was suffering from prolonged Soleus Muscle pain for past 4 months. I tired sports massage , cupping , needling, hot & cold therapy of all kinds . But nothing worked , i almost stopped running with big heart break . Luckily my cousin referred me to Ms Diya . And all it took was 5 sessions of training with her . Today after a long time I again ran full speed intervals & enjoyed the bliss of running again without any pain. All I can say is thank you Diya .

Ravish Bhambore L

Visited Dr.Padmanaban for a stubborn Plantar Fasciitis injury on a friend's reference. The diagnosis was spot on. Spent 12 working sessions to overcome the pain, strengthen and get back to running with Pandian (Physio and ST coach). What i really liked and was effective was the focused 1-1 sessions that progressed gradually from building mobility from the ground up and building strength in the soleus and intrinsic foot muscles. The doctors and physios are friendly and put you to ease. Highly recommended and vouched for.

Akhil Girish

Had come here to get help with the plantar fascitis. After an investigation session with Dr.Padmanaban, worked twice a week with Dr. Aravind. Their ability to ensure i get the best benefit in the most optimal manner with simple exercizes and movement and ability to reduce my issues by a large extent is amazing. They are also very available to ensure that issues are taken care of quickly if any. Loved the experience and would highly recommend.

Onkar Munje

I had my appointment for ankle issue with Dr. Padmanabham and then he assigned Veeru from his team to work with me. Veeru has been amazing. He is knowledgeable, punctual, friendly and compassionate. Each session was very helpful. I started running again. I don�t feel the shooting pain in ankle any more. I still have to work on my leg strength as I get back to my half marathon volume. But the journey so far has been very good thanks to Veeru and Dr. Padmanabham. I will continue to take their support. Highly recommend the service.

Saurabh Singh

Movementology is THE place for getting better after injuries. I had a few issues that I needed help with. With everything, the issue was explained to me, along with the path which would be taken. No false promises, but an action plan is given. They focus not only on pain management, but also with flexibility, strength and endurance building. They have helped in my back, shoulder and ankle rehabilitation, would recommend to anyone who's struggling with getting better.

Richa Mishra

I had chronic TMJ pain and was suffering from past 3 years. I had severe trouble in chewing things using my jaw and would often suffer from episodes of pain. I could not sit for long without pain or do anything that would involve my neck muscles. Also it was impossible for me to lift anything using my shoulders. I consulted Dr. Padmanabhan who assessed my situation and recommended 12 sessions of strengthening with Dr. Joshita Poojary. With her help I have recovered and now I am able to do workouts without any pain, drive and even lift 7.5kg which had earlier seemed impossible. His team and the environment at the centre is very warm and friendly. It was a pleasure rehabilitating there. I would definitely recommend visiting them

Usha Sathyanarayanan

I was suffering from knee joint pain for more than 4 months and undergone physiotherapy at various places.When I found no improvement and could not move freely, I learnt from my sister about Dr.Padmanabhan's movementology clinic and the Doctor diagnized correctly the root cause of the problem and entrusted me to Physiotherapist Ms.Sushmitha for right training and guidance. Now after the session and review of the Doctor,I am able to walk freely. Thanks Doctor to make me walk freely

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 .

Divya Subramanian

Due to bad posture and lack of proper exercise, I have always had a bad back to the extent I had to have a disc removed some years back. Learnt exercises here to strengthen my back and build my stamina. They are also helping me with my flat foot issue.

Priyanka M.A

Hands down the best physiotherapists ! Paddy sir is the most skilled (Head) Physiotherapist I have come across. He was the only one that could fix my ankle issue after going to close to 5-6 physiotherapists in Bangalore. Thank God for him that I've recovered. You can blindly trust him. Annapoorna has been treating me at their centre and has been my saviour for a lack of a better word! She is brilliantly trained and very skilled! Love the attention she gives to a client and knows exactly what the issue is. Please try out this place for any of your Physio/rehab needs. There is nothing that Paddy sir can't solve! Highly recommended clinic!

Rakesh VR

I developed achilles tendonitis issue which was causing severe discomfort post my long distance runs. Based on a friend's reference I consulted Dr. Padmanaban. He diagnosed the problem instantly and advised strengthening sessions with physio Santhanapandian. He allowed me to continue my runs at a reduced pace and mileage during this period,which was a big relief. With around 10 sessions with Santhanapandian, I've now almost recovered and able to go back to my normal pace and could do couple of half marathons without pain. Santhanapandian keeps checking the progress and is always reachable.

Rama Dnce

My son is a college level football player. We went to movementology based on a friend's referral for a sports related injury. Mr Padmanabhan assessed the problem and came up with a tailored recovery program. He reassured and gave confidence to my son that he can get back to playing soon. The therapy sessions with Dr Ajay were very useful and constructive. Initially my son was afraid if he'll be able to play again. Now after the sessions he has gone back to college with confidence. He has started practicing football again. He can resume competitive play in a month or two. I'm very happy and satisfied with the therapy

Amlan Srivastava

I came to the clinic 5 months after an ACL reconstruction and meniscus repair surgery without doing any physiotherapy, after consulting Dr.Padmanaban I was confident I would achieve my goal of playing football again. Dr. Abin and Dr.Ajay helped me with my recovery and it really felt like they personally tended to my problems no matter what they were and really understood my needs and made a rehabilitation plan according to what my body could and could not do then. Within no time I am now playing football again and it doesn't feel like I ever had an injury, instead I now feel that my whole body is stronger and moves better because Dr.Ajay made sure that not only does he rehabilitate my leg but also give my whole body a boost. By the end of my rehabilitation I now understand my body better , know better how to prevent injuries and focus on the right things while exercising.
