The Patient Experience & Testimonials

Mr. Joseph Coburn - American Arts Teacher, presently HOD Arts Department, Mercedes Benz International School ( MBIS), Pune is a regular patient at PAX Physiotherapy Clinic. He has been suffering from shoulder dysfunction and pain for more than 2 years. After several sessions of Physiotherapy, he has found significant improvement in his left shoulder and is able to function without pain. He was also treated for his lymphedema.

"The KT tape applied by Dr. Xavier - Is this sporty or what? Didn't know how the kids at MBIS would react but honestly I think they did better than the teachers. Ha Ha. Went to a Physical therapist Dr. Prem Xavier to have my left shoulder looked at. Had several treatments on the shoulder and my lymphedema looked at. He suggested mobilization + electric impulse + lymph drainage tape. I think it is helping me really well & will continue on for a few more sessions."

Regarding the unique Lymphedema Physiotherapy treatment by PAX Physiotherapy Clinic.

"Prem Xavier mobilized my neck using a tape pulling down in the directions to where the lymph fluid should flow then hooked me  up to a machine with electric pulses. The idea of his specialized treatment is that he pulls the skin and hence channels the fluid towards lower remaining channels and helps to find the natural paths to eventually guide it to my heart. After one full day , I do feel like it has made a real difference."

Dr. Pradyumna Pai - Orthopedic Surgeon, Spine Specialist, Pune. 

After a game of Tennis one fine morning, Dr. Pai felt a strain at the lower Thoracic level of his Back. He was to travel that evening and needed to get his back fixed for the day. With one simple consultation at PAX Physiotherapy Clinic - he was able to meet up with Dr. Xavier who worked on his back for almost an hour using various Myo-Fascial and Manual Mobilization Techniques along with Elastic Kinesiotaping.

This was the outcome after Day-1:

" I feel significantly better. I could rate it at > 80% improvement in my Spinal mobility function and effective reduction of pain"

"There is no more pain or strain on my back. I feel free now!"

For more than a year he has suffered from Right Side Shoulder Pain due to RC Overuse Injury. Despite repeated attempts at treating his condition at various other clinics and Med centers his pain has not subsided.
