Physiotherapy for Fibromyalgia
While there is no complete cure for fibromyalgia, physiotherapy can help you manage symptoms and improve quality of life. At Saksham Clinic, Dr. Gayatri Joshi-Sarkar creates gentle, customized plans that focus on pain relief, movement, and mental wellness.
How Physiotherapy Helps:
- Gentle stretching and relaxation exercises
- Posture correction and body awareness
- Low-impact aerobic exercises (walking, cycling)
- Breathing and relaxation techniques
- Pain-relieving therapies (ultrasound, TENS, hot/cold therapy)

Our goal is to reduce pain, improve strength and flexibility, and help you feel more active and balanced.
