What I'm looking for

I seek roles delivering athlete-centered physiotherapy—virtual or on-site—focused on rehabilitation, injury prevention, performance enhancement, collaborative team environments, and opportunities to work with elite athletes and multidisciplinary sports teams.

I am a sports physiotherapist with extensive experience supporting national and international athletes across multiple disciplines, including boxing, shooting, weightlifting, wrestling, badminton, athletics, judo and hockey.

I have held senior and lead physiotherapist roles at organizations such as OGQ, Sports Authority of India (National Centre of Excellence, Bhopal), and Sports Authority of Gujarat, delivering on-field management, rehabilitation programs and tailored performance plans.

My background includes working at major international competitions and preparatory camps (ISSF, World Boxing, Asian Championships, Commonwealth preparation and Olympic training camps), completion of a FIFA Diploma in football medicine, and event physiotherapy for national tournaments.

I combine hands-on clinical techniques (manual therapy, dry needling, muscle energy techniques, taping, electrotherapy) with athlete-focused exercise protocols and education to enhance recovery, prevent injury and optimize performance.
