Common Causes and Symptoms
Rotator Cuff Injury
Rotator cuff injuries often develop due to gradual wear and tear of the tendon over time. They can also result from repetitive overhead activities, prolonged heavy lifting, or a sudden injury from falls or accidents. Additional factors such as age-related degeneration, poor posture, and muscle imbalances can further increase the risk of tendon strain or tears.
Signs and Symptoms
Difficulty sleeping on the affected side
Weakness in the shoulder, making lifting or rotating the arm difficult
Limited range of motion and stiffness
Tenderness over the affected tendon
Shoulder Impingement
Shoulder impingement occurs when the rotator cuff tendons are compressed or irritated as they pass through the shoulder joint.
Common causes include repetitive overhead movements, poor posture, muscle imbalances, age-related tendon degeneration, previous shoulder injuries, and a Type III (hooked) acromion. These factors can result in pain, inflammation, and limited shoulder mobility.
Signs and Symptoms
Pain at the front or side of the shoulder, especially when lifting the arm overhead
Weakness when lifting or rotating the arm
Limited range of motion and stiffness in the shoulder
Tenderness around the shoulder joint
SLAP tears & Shoulder Instabilities
SLAP tears and shoulder instability often result from repetitive overhead activities, trauma, ligament laxity and degenerative changes in the shoulder joint. They can cause pain, weakness, reduced range of motion, and sensations of clicking or the shoulder slipping out.
Signs and Symptoms
Deep shoulder pain, especially with overhead or throwing movements
Clicking, catching, or popping sensations in the shoulder
Feeling of looseness or the shoulder slipping out during activity
Weakness and difficulty lifting or rotating the arm
Athletic Shoulder Injuries
Athletic shoulder injuries are commonly caused by repetitive overhead movements, sudden trauma, or heavy impact during sports.
Other contributing factors include muscle imbalances, poor technique, inadequate warm-up, and previous shoulder injuries, which increase the risk of strains, tears, or instability.
Signs and Symptoms
Instability, clicking, or popping sensations during movement
Pain during activity, especially with overhead or throwing motions
Weakness or difficulty lifting, pushing, or rotating the arm
Swelling or tenderness around the shoulder

Dr Aravindh, under the overall supervision of Dr Padmanabhan, has been one of the best shoulder rehab doctors I could have have found. Knowledgeable, patient and ever engaged, he is always ready to explain the science behind the affected part and does not tire of answering even the smallest of questions which may come to the mind of the layman patient. The center itself is probably of international standards and a very pleasant environment to train in. My orthopedist described Dr Padmanabhan as the best for sports related injuries in Bangalore which speaks for itself.
There are times when patients feel tired coming in from work/play/without lunch, breakfast. Other than the coffee machine, a snack bar offering things like energy bars, biscuits etc on sale for a quick energy boost will definitely help.

I had injured my ankle tendon in March earlier this year while playing football and was in a lot of pain. The swelling was not going even after icing and resting for more than a week. I was barely able to walk and was having a lot of pain while driving car.
My friend suggested me Movementology Academy by Dr Padmanabhan Sekaran and after diagnosis, they told about the injury and that it can be treated via physiotherapy, after almost 12 weeks of physiotherapy with 1-2 sessions a week, my injury is totally healed now and I am able to play football again.
I was assigned to therapist Santhanapandian and he was very helpful and made sure we fix the injury properly. We started with movement and therapeutic ultrasound and then eventually increased the load on the ankle and then did a lot of plyometric exercises to get full range of movement and stability while performing explosive movements.
I would suggest the Movementology Academy to everyone who is looking for a good physio or sports therapist in Bangalore.

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.

This hospital is a life saver as i had once lost all my hopes. They gave me new life and hopes . When I had a little problem in my right shoulder bone don't know what exactly happened. Went to some orthopaedic doctor near my house they couldn't treat my problem we'll coz they don't know how to diagnose it in the beginning. So my time wasted and no improvement in my hand too. So I went doctor Thomas who was working at st John's hospital he recommended me to doctor Rajkumar who was also working at st John's hospital. Then he referred us to Doctor Padmanaban who is specialist in all these types of disorders which are left untreated and undiagnosed . He examined my problem came to the solution then put me in the hands of Dr Deeksha who is an expert physiotherapist she has a positive and magic healing power in her hands. There were days when I couldn't even move my hands a inch i thought my life ended but now I can move my hands easily do some house chores . Coz that day I couldn't even lift my arms to put food inside my mouth so imagine my condition how it was . So this hospital and the expert doctor's came to save my life . I would totally recommend this hospital .

This place is magic. I have been playing badminton professionally ( was the former jr national champion ) and I do love working out at the gym. I had a shoulder dislocation injury due to which I couldn't play badminton and lift weights. I heard about this clinic from a few other physiotherapists. I came to Banglore for this treatment and did a 6 week course which made my shoulder much stronger. I started lifting weights and I am planning to go back to cochin and start playing badminton. Special thanks to Padmanabhan sir and Pandian for taking care of me. Cheers

Actually it was an amazing experience. The therapists were completely professional and the sessions was very useful. Thanks Mr. Ajay for your complete guidance.
Actually my clavicle was detached from my shoulder and underwent for reconstruction surgery. Afterwards I went to the centre and Dr. Padmanaban ask Ajay to take care about me. And I was thinking i wont be able to do any thing after that. But they encourage me both mentally and physically.
Their guidance and sessions made me a lot better. Now I am able to do everything including lifting weights and doing heavy jobs.

Prabhav Tiwari
I feel so lucky to be referred here for a back pain, which was radiating to my hip and calf. When I started the treatment here I could not stand, walk or lie down without feeling that excruciating pain. In my first meeting I was assured that this is something they can definitely help me overcome, while I was losing hope after trying a lot of different kinds of treatment. I took a 6 week treatment here and Abin helped me with the complete plan patiently. While this would take some time to see the effect, its good to have faith and continue with the suggested exercises, which progress in a phased manner. I am able to recover from the pain completely and I have been given a exercise plan to continue and maintain it.
Definitely recommend, they don’t break your bank as well like some other clinics.
Gaurav Patil
I came here for my post ACL Surgery Rehab in March 2023. For my Physiotherapy I was assisted by Mr. Pandian. It has been 6 months now and my recovery has been great. The place is well equipped and has a friendly atmosphere. Mr. Pandian is knowledgeable, well informed and has helped me throughout this process. Looking forward to complete my rehab here.
Hrishikesh Bhagwat
My movement in left shoulder was severely restricted and was progressively getting worse. Dr. Padmanaban did a quick check and assured me of 80% improvement in 6-8 weeks. This felt like a miracle as my condition was only getting worse since a year.
Ms. Sushmita Paul worked very closely with me and their dedication, knowledge and humility's amazing. I am really happy with the results I got and also to know the Movementology team.
Thanks Dr. Padmanaban & Sushmita for your effort in making my life a lot better! Really appreciate the work you guys are doing.
Regards,
Hrishikesh

Injury - Disc bulge with radiculopathy in L4-L5 region.
Once I got injured, the doctors at Manipal were quick to recommend minimally invasive surgery to rectify the problem but that worried me. I did not want to take a permanent step like surgery at the age of 30+. A senior fitness professional recommended me to connect with Dr. Padmanaban and I am eternally grateful to him for that.
Dr. Padmanaban and his team are genuine miracle workers with a soft touch, who have taught me that movement can be medicine.
I came here in a lot of pain, extremely nervous & afraid due to being advised surgery. In the first meeting itself, Dr. Padmanaban helped reassure me with his experience and approach. He explained my injury to me in great detail, in a way I could understand. He then set clear success metrics that we should achieve within 3-4 weeks time, which would indicate if the treatment is working.
With this confidence, I got started. Every week I would consult him, learn new movements & exercises from his team of therapists and come home to carry it out religiously.
Few weeks down the line, I can genuinely say that I feel great. My normal movement is completely restored and I am working on building my strength. I am certain of becoming stronger than before. All of this, done naturally. Thank you Dr. Padmanaban & Team. You rock!
Forever thankful to you for giving me back my ability to move freely.
Annapurni Subramaniam
Had a very good experience with the Koramangala centre. Got excellent relief for my frozen shoulder in about 6-7 weeks, to carry out my daily activities. A big thank you to Jennifer. Relief from pain, able to sleep better, able to drive and play violin - quite an impressive progress. I now carry out the excercise suggested by Jennifer. Though I still do not have the full reach, my shoulder is not bothering me. Highly recommend this place.
Savitha Anand
It's a great experience working with Dr Annapoorna for my knee issue and also my mom's shoulder problem. I really thank her from bottom of my heart.
Seema Prayag
I consulted Dr. Padmanabhan during June month for my muscle pain on my right shoulder and right thighs. It just took few minutes for him to diagnose my issue and suggested me for 6 weeks of physiotherapy treatment with Jennifer. He had told me that I can see the difference in 3rd week and exactly during the 3rd week, I see so much improvement in my muscle strength and the pain was totally vanished. Thanks to Jennifer with her expertise & step by step treatment, I was able to recover so smoothly. I am in my last week of treatment, my endurance and strength has improved a lot. I had consulted 3 doctors earlier and wasn't getting right treatment. Thank you so much Dr. Padmanabhan and Jennifer, very humble and best in their business undoubtedly.
Suhita Nath
I had grade 3 ATFL tear and was on a 3 weeks walking cast. Post cast removal I was referred here and I can say that my ankle is completely healed and I am able to do all the activities I was doing before the injury. I was treated by Dr. Joshita under a 6 weeks program (2 sessions/week). Had swelling in my ankle post cast removal, but even then I continued to do the exercises and the recovery process was excellent. Exercises and movements were focused on increasing the mobility and strength of the joint and my progress my noted session. Individual attention/care was given and I am able to run/walk/jump with the confidence that I won't be twisting my ankle again. Will suggest this place to anyone looking for a complete recovery process after injury be it ankle or any other joint.
Sampath J
I had a partial tear of the ACL (non-operative), and when I consulted Dr. Padmanabhan I could not do single leg skips or squats, or even run. He assessed my situation and recommended 18 sessions of strengthening and graded loading followed by 6 sessions of plyometrics as well. The schedule has been very scientific and gradual, and now I am able to run, jump and hop without any difficulty. His whole team is very jovial, warm and cordial, and it was a pleasure rehabilitating there. I would definitely recommend visiting him!
Anisha Tiwary
Rehab for 4.5 months with Pandian for my ulnar collateral ligament strain in the elbow. It has been super helpful in strengthening my forearms, wrist, grip, shoulders and now I can lift much heavier weights than I did before my injury thanks to Pandian and dr. Padmanban. Highly recommend.
Abhijith Ps
I had severe Shoulder and knee pain all the other doctors said I'll be needing a X-ray and MRI scan. But here those were not needed. They did the assessment found the issue and helped me get better. I had my sessions with Aravind sir he did an awesome job for the assessment and explaining the issue to me. His knowledge and skills were really helpful for me.
Sarah Chandy
My husband Vivek had a serious rotator cuff injury with a slap and an impingement about 8 months back. Every doctor we went to suggested surgery. On recommendation from our family physiotherapist we went to Padmanaban, who was confident he could address the issue with exercise. Now 8 months later, my husband has full range of motion and normal strength in his arm. We are very happy to have done this through physiotherapy and avoided surgery all together.
Pandian who handled the regular therapy was exceptionally good. Thanks.

Bakul Patel
I am a state level kickboxer and I tore my ACL with a slight meniscus bruise about six months ago. After undergoing surgery from Dr Chirag Thonse, he recommended that my after care and physiotherapy be done at Padmanaban's Movementology academy. After my surgery I had lost significant muscle mass and could not bend my knee past about 20 degrees, i would also have to walk with the help of a crutch. This period of immobilisation was extremely frustrating to me as both a student and sportsperson. After joining physiotherapy however, Padmanaban sir and my two physiotherapists Pandian Sir and Diksha ma'am were amazing pillars of support who slowly built both my muscles and confidence back to what they once were. I could not be more grateful for their guidance and care as I am now once again back to playing sports such as basketball, badminton, swimming and running with great vigour. My biggest thanks goes out to this clinic as it has also given me immense joy to learn from my kind and fun loving therapists- Pandian and Diksha and receive Padmanaban sir's strength throughout. I strongly recommend this academy for any sort of injury as the staff here will help you recover in a truly therapeutic and soothing manner. All of the physiotherapists- Pandian, Joshitha, Shincy, Sushmitha, Abin and Diksha are like supportive friends who have helped and seen my knee's healing process at every step of this journey and I'm truly thankful for all of them!
Sabir Mk
I had visited Padmanaban Momentology Clinic with severe pain all through my right arm from shoulder after playing Badminton. Dr Padmanaban and Physiotherapist Dr. Veeru did a phenomenal job helping me recover 100%. The level of knowledge and deep expertise to understand the issue and address it is outstanding. High recommend Padmanaban Momemtology Clinic. Thank You !
Parinitaa Garg
It was an amazing experience. Doctor Padmanabhan is the only one who was able to diagnose the exact issue of hip impingement followed by 6-9 months of Therapy by Dr. Joshita. She has the gift of being able to figure out the exact spots and knots and release them. Thanks to the whole team and amazing staff. The vibe of the clinic is welcoming and it is hygienic. Thank you!
Prachi Vijh
I had an extremely comfortable session with Dr. Madhu. She was very kind and handle my shoulder pain with utmost care and professionalism. Along with that, she also advised me some basic exercises that I could do at home. Thanks again for the wonderful treatment, Dr. Madhu.
Muzammil H. Momin
I visited Movementology seeking relief from a persistent shoulder injury that had plagued me for over four years. Despite temporary reprieves, the pain would inevitably return. As I began practicing jiu-jitsu, the discomfort escalated, making it impossible for me to sleep on my right side.
Previous visits to sports recovery centers and physiotherapists yielded only temporary solutions, relying on treatments like TENS and shock therapy without addressing the underlying muscle weakness.
At Movementology, Dr. Padmanabhan accurately diagnosed a slap tear in my shoulder. Under the expert care of Dr. Madhushree, I underwent a personalized 7-week rehabilitation program focused on strengthening and healing my muscle.
While Movementology's premium pricing may seem daunting, I firmly believe it's a worthwhile investment. The tailored attention and care I received have been invaluable. Today, I'm stronger, more active, and able to pursue the activities I love without restriction. Most importantly, I can finally sleep peacefully � a gift for which I'm truly grateful.
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.
Tushar Kamble
One of the finest physiotherapy clinics in India. I had laberal tear in my left shoulder. I could not lift my hand due to surgery and was almost in a stiff position. I visited Dr Padmanaban for post-surgery rehab. He checked my shoulder range and strength and provided the rehab plan. Dr Pandian did my physiotherapy and improved my range, strength and stability with proper exercises. he used to check my strength using a dynamometer to measure my progress. With shoulder strength, they improved my core and back strength which gives more stability in my overall body. I regain the strength in my left shoulder within a few months. They completed my rehab by measuring the overall progress using the Endurance test, CKCUET test, and SSASP test. I appreciate their detailing and execution of the rehab plan. Thank you so much Dr Padmanaban and Dr Pandian for all the support and consultation. Also, I appreciate Dr Abin and Dr Sushmita's support and assistance.
I would highly recommend Dr Padmanaban and their team for physiotherapy
Akhiila . A
I'm a national-level badminton player. Dr Reddy who's an excellent shoulder and knee surgeon referred me to Dr Padmanabhan. I had gone through a SLAP repair on my right shoulder 5 years back which was healed but giving little trouble once a while playing. And also recently I had a left leg IT band tear, which was also troubling while playing & running. Dr Padmanabhan asked me to take 35 days off from my game and to focus on rehab. Since I started the rehab I felt stronger week by week, and now am perfectly fit and able to play comfortably. Thank you Dr Padmanabhan & Pandian Anna for helping me out . Thank you Sam Anna & Joshita Akka for supporting me .
Nisha Philip
I am incredibly grateful to Movementology and especially to my therapist, Akshaya, for helping me with my Shoulder tendonitis. Akshaya was incredibly patient, understanding, and attentive to my concerns throughout the process. Her expertise and tailored approach made a significant difference in my recovery.
From the thorough assessment to the personalized exercises, Akshaya ensured I felt supported and informed at every step. Thanks to her guidance, I have regained strength and mobility in my shoulder.
I highly recommend Movementology and Akshaya to anyone seeking effective and compassionate care for physical pain or movement challenges.
Pratik Agarwal
Went here for ACL and meniscus when I moved to bangalore 3 months post surgery. Dr. Padmanabhan did the initial checking after which I was handed over to Dr. Joshita. Could see improvements within a week. Would 100/100 recommend.

Uday Kumar
Great experience working with Dr.Arshed for the recovery of a neck & shoulder related injury. He was extremely patient with my progress and helped until full recovery and also gave steps for long term maintenance which is critical
Sachidanand Umesh
I’ve had a great experience with Dr. Padmanabhan and Jennifer for troubles with my shoulders and traps, firstly for diagnosing the issue correctly after I’d been to multiple Physio without any major improvement and secondly, the weekly sessions followed by exercises at home have made it a lot easier to follow through and stay consistent on the recovery!
Ranjith Parambath
I visited this clinic for shoulder dislocation rehab on the advice of my orthopaedic doctor and have been taking physiotherapy sessions for a few months now.
I must say, I have been thoroughly impressed with the diagnosis, attention and tailored recovery plan provided by Dr. Padmanabhan. He and his team of dedicated doctors are simply amazing and provide you the right care required for your transformation and recovery. Dr. Arvind took care of my rehab and he did a splendid job in making me comfortable with the targeted strengthening exercises and routine, which in turn helped me to recover better.
Thank you once again Dr. Padmanabhan and Dr. Arvind for your efforts with my recovery and helping me through this difficult phase. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.
Vasudevan N K
Took Physiotherapy after my rotator cuff surgery from Dr. Ajay. Ajay taught all the exercises very clearly, asked me to repeat them and corrects the mistakes. He followed up regularly on the improvement progress. I did the exercises regularly as Ajay prescribed and recovered sooner. Thank you Ajay for your support. Much appreciated !!
