Capt. Umesh Mehta

Only in five sessions with Anshul, I am so glad that I am in a position to do my daily activities without much pain which once seemed to be impossible.

Siddharth Lohia

I had right ankle and bilateral knee pain, and was limited in my use of stairs. I consulted doctors in 3 different continents who suggested various medicines, surgeries etc. but I felt no benefit. My doctor in India referred me to Vardan. I went through their website and decided to give FMT a chance.

I felt the difference right from the first session. My initial assessment showed various mechanical restrictions along both knees, extending down to the foot and ankle complex; the cuboid of the right ankle was of primary importance. My joint mechanics have been restored to at least 90% mobility through FMT, which has significantly improved my ability to perform everyday functional activities such as stairs and exercises.

As my legs improved I noticed some limitations in my back and neck, which were making it difficult to travel for long periods of time. FMT has given me significant gains in those areas as well.
I come for my sessions from Kanpur, but my treatment has been so fruitful that I am more than happy doing so!

Bhavna Rajgariah

My name is Bhavna Rajgarhia, I am 36 years old. I work with my father. I heard about Vardan through my dad. He heard about it from a friend. I have had a problem with my knee and calves. It has persisted for over 10 years.

The last three-four months have been very bad, I have not been able to move. If I moved or even walked around a little bit, my knees would start hurting a lot. The last three-four months, I haven’t been able to walk around for even five minutes. The pain was very acute. I went to a lot of general physicians, physiotherapists, orthopedics and all and the scariest part was that nobody was able to diagnose my problem. Everyone would keep saying there isn’t a problem and they would just send me back home. So I was very worried and very scared – if you have such acute pain and the doctor is not being able to diagnose it, it gets very scary. Last two-three months I have been teary-eyed all the time and then of course I heard about this place. My dad came here first. He came for about two or three sessions and he was really happy and he suggested I come and I came and I must say that after the first session itself – the therapist was Ekta and she is really sweet and really good I must say – I felt better. In the first session she treated my tailbone. She said that my tailbone had moved a little from its right position and it was pressing on a nerve which was aggravating my knee pain. The primary reason for the knee pain was my muscular pain. So she fixed that tailbone for me and the first session itself I was feeling much better.

The second session, because of some confusion I think, I got a session with Jevene, and she treated my muscles around my calves and thighs and all that and after the second session I was 99% better.

And today which is my last session – my third session – I am feeling absolutely fine. There is no pain. In the last 10 days, I have done everything that could make me deteriorate – I wore heels even though they told me not to, and I went out. They told me to exercise and I didn’t exercise properly. And they asked me not to do one more thing which I did again. But still I had no pain. Had I done any of these things prior to coming to Vardan, I would have had acute pain.

This place I would say is like a Godsend for me. I think I should start crying right now. I am feeling fine in just three sessions I have taken an appointment after a month because they want to check me and to make sure that I am doing the exercises and following up on whatever they have asked me to do. It’s been great and I want to say a big thank you to Jevene and a big thank you to Ekta and a big thank you to Vardan.

I work with my father. I heard about Vardan through my dad. He heard about it from a friend. I have had a problem with my knee and calves. It has persisted for over 10 years. See for my experience, I don’t have a medical understanding of FMT, but from my experience I would say that it is basically a very advanced form of physiotherapy combined with a certain amount of manipulation, because I think the first time what she did with me was manipulation – she was just rubbing the tailbone to get it into the right position. And thereafter, for the other two sessions, she was pressing me to relieve pain in different places. So I think it is a combination of manipulation and very advanced physiotherapy.

Another thing they did for me, which no doctor has done until now was that they corrected my walk. They said; “your walk is your main problem. You are not walking from your hip you are putting all the pressure on your knee, which is why you are getting so much pain in your knees”. So actually they nailed the source, they treated the source and actually if I do the exercises properly, which I plan to, then I think that I should be fine.

That’s why I am done in three sessions – I mean I have had a problem for over 10 years.

Before coming here, I was almost bedridden. Like I didn’t have to rest but I was not walking, I couldn’t walk even 10 steps. I was going to work etc, but I was not moving at all. But now I am leading an absolutely normal life. I am going to work, I am going to work out, I am going out at night – so it has made a whole lot of difference. I would say from having a lot of pain, today I am pain free. I still have to work on my muscles and strengthen them before I can do anything that I want to – because I would love to do a workout class, which she has told me not to do right now – but I am now from being in a lot of pain to being pain free actually. It’s really helped me, this place. I would recommend it to everybody. Get in here and get yourself fixed.

Sandeep Nair

My main problem was knee pain – for 3 years – though I also had a backache. Soon it hampered my work. I tried everything from the brief relief of ayurvedic massages and homeopathic pain remedies to crazy naturopathy diets. I got really scared when a doctor wanted to insert a probe in my knee when an MRI was inconclusive!

So, when I read about non-invasive FMT at Vardan, I decided to try even though I didn’t believe it would work. I wasn’t impressed by Mamta’s simple analysis for my pain either – a misalignment in my ankle that affected the shin and muscles. But since I wanted to go to Ladakh (on painkillers if need be!) I gave it a shot.

I had 10 sessions in all, and from the second one, the improvement was dramatic. Other physical therapies rely on heat to relax muscles and relieve pain but FMT gets to the root of the problem to resolve it. My nagging pain is gone. In fact, I told Mamta that I thought of her more than my wife as I trekked in Ladakh pain-free!

Shilpika Bordoloi

Dear Jevene,

I am being treated for my rt knee by Ekta.

The treatment process has been interesting for me. Am a dancer and this pain on my right knee comes up quite often, after a rigorous few days or winter! Initially it was an accident in 2009 that started. So initially in the sessions with Ekta i was taken aback with the pain at the time of treatment. But yes it did feel lighter the very next day. And i think after a few visits finally was that one day when i really felt no pain even in the deep squat. Post that pain-free knee moment! i have had another session. Anyways at the moment the pain is back and i confess that am not being very disciplined with the specific exercises i have been asked to do or maybe i need a bit more treatment.

I think Ekta has been a dedicated Therapist. I like her presence and the energy she carries for the process. She appears involved and all the touching is never uncomfortable. She makes an effort to articulate the treatment and has managed to get a lot of my trust.

As a dancer i think i really like what has happened so far and hope my knee pain will get treated forever. And i wld definitely like to be treated in this process on a regular pace even after knee is solved. Just for a regular alignment check! and i wld be happy to go with Ekta for the same.

Regards,
Shilpika

Sheria Irani

I was suffering from lower back pain and knee pain when I came to Vardan. I was unable to climb stairs before I started coming to Vardan. I read the article in the newspaper and was convinced enough to approach Vardan for treatment. I had not undergone any treatment before as I didn’t have faith in what other treatments offered.

My pain was due injuries caused during exercising at the gym. I was diagnosed that my knee, pelvic area and L4 & L5 needed treatment.

My knee was mobilized, muscles of the spine were treated and alignment of the tailbone was corrected. I was taught core strengthening exercises, knee strengthening exercises, exercises of thigh flexibility, correct walking pattern and correct way to exercise in the gym.

Now I have zero pain and have started fully exercising in the gym as well.

Laxmi Arora

Let me start off by introducing myself I am Laxmi arora, age-62 with no prior experience of taking physio sessions

My journey with VARDĀN started around June 19 and like others I never wanted to continue for long but Aishwarya made sure that I was comfortable in the start and henceforth.

I had extreme knee and back pain from last few years and in a matter of 3-4 weeks Aishwarya’s expertise helped reduce my pain. I couldn’t praise her enough for all the patience and care (first at VARDĀN and now during online sessions at home). She would always explain what each exercise and movement was for. Right from adjusting my schedule to excellent attention, quality of care was commendable.

Undoubtedly my pain areas were addressed rightly and I feel much better with noticeable improvements. Just wanted to conclude saying thanks to Aishwarya and everyone at VARDĀN. Hopeful of a much longer association.

God bless you for your efforts and attention.

Kamal Jeet Gupta

I was beyond impressed with my experience at VARDĀN. I came here with pain in my both knees and a lot of discomfort while walking. I was advised to undergo Knee Replacement by Doctor but I was delighted by the therapy provided by the therapists at VARDĀN especially, Prashant and Mamta. Therapists at VARDĀN have great knowledge of Anatomy and exercise sciences, and in each session they do a complete assessment to customize the treatment plan at individual level, which has built my trust on the therapists at VARDĀN. I am now able to walk for a longer pain-free duration with better strength in my leg muscles. The overall quality of my life has significantly improved. My heartfelt thanks to Prashant & Mamta for helping me out with a pain-free and efficient living. VARDĀN takes an holistic view of the body & helps us to make it work the way it should

Indeevar Krishna

For a golfer I am “extremely stiff”, and blessed with pains in one or both knees, and/or lower back, ankle, neck, over the last one year, affecting my game and my overall ability to walk and run. I trusted a good friend’s advice and enrolled at VARDAN. I have been undergoing treatment for the last two months, for my left knee and lower back. For the first time I am “relaxed” about my body movements. I am more fluid and flexible now, and “not afraid” of doing exercises that once were impossible to do. I have already played two rounds of limited golf, while the treatment is on, and delighted to see that the improvement is “sustainable”. I have had an inguinal hernia operation two years back, but Dr Swati and team have been careful about the condition during their treatment. A big thanks to them for restoring my hope to return to active sport. While each session is expensive, I understand it is not just a routine physiotherapy. This “functional manual therapy” requires exceptional practical knowledge of the body. For the expertise of specialists like Dr Swati, Dr Sakar, DR Mayank and for the infrastructure and overall service excellence, I think the pricing is appropriate. However, for long term customers, there must be attractive pricing schemes. I also request that you have three days per week at Gurgaon centre.

Thank You Team VARDAN.

Ajay Kumar Jain

My knee pain started over three years ago and I had some difficulty in walking, as well as, in climbing the stairs. I consulted one of New Delhi’s top hospital who took my X-Ray’s and advised me knee surgery. I was mentally not prepared for the same as I felt that there must be some alternatives to knee surgery. Then, I contacted my neighbourhood physiotherapists and was advised the classical exercises. I was not satisfied with their advice as I was in search for some scientific and systematic treatment. In my search for a proper solution, I landed at Vardan.

Here, I met the therapists and was told the gap in the knee joint cannot be changed through exercises but with proper and regular exercises, the knee pain can be arrested. Since then, I have been visiting Vardan and regularly exercising for three times a week. Due to these exercises my knee pain is dormant. Apart, from the knee, my therapists have been focussing on strengthening my all muscles and improving my flexibility. I have found that the therapist here at Vardan to be very knowledgeable, experienced, sincere and hardworking.

Today, I am able to walk and climb the stairs faster than people of my age which is thanks to Vardan
