Miran - Neurophysiotherapy and Pilates

During my first few years as a physiotherapist, I worked in private setups that relied heavily on electrotherapy. Treatment mostly involved machines and maybe three or four exercises for the knee or shoulder, depending on what the patient came in for. I really thought physiotherapy was all about that. But what puzzled me was seeing the same patients coming in every day, with maybe a 20-30% reduction in pain—at best. We kept doing the same treatment every day, with no real change. Even more puzzling was how much patients loved passive therapy, even though the relief it gave was only temporary. Eventually, when I did my master’s and started working more closely with patients, I realized how crucial patient education was. Introducing them to exercise therapy and a more holistic approach made all the difference. When patients started feeling stronger and saw how long-term this kind of therapy could be, they began to trust us. So when we built MIRAN , we made a conscious decision— we w...

  1️⃣ Create a Safe Environment Falls are the biggest risk with ataxia. Make your space safe: Remove loose rugs, wires & clutter. Install grab bars in bathrooms & hallways. Use sturdy, non-slip footwear (even at home). Keep rooms well-lit & furniture stable. Use a walker or cane if needed — safety first! 2️⃣ Prioritize Physiotherapy, Pilates & Speech Therapy Regular physiotherapy helps maintain strength & balance. Modified Pilates (under expert guidance) builds core stability & body awareness. If speech is affected, speech therapy improves communication & confidence. 3️⃣ Use Assistive Devices (Without Hesitation) Walkers, canes, braces — use what works for you . Use apps or tools if speech/writing is difficult. Assistive devices = independence tools , not a step back. 4️⃣ Take Mental Health Support Seriously Living with ataxia is emotionally challenging. It’s okay to feel overwhelmed. Talk to a counselor or join a support group. Caregivers — you need sup...

  There are countless blogs and vlogs guiding us on how to choose the right dress, lipstick, shoes, or even a university. Yet, when it comes to selecting a physiotherapist, we often assume that every professional is equally skilled. However, just as the world evolves, so does our understanding of the human body. Scientific research and evidence-based practices are constantly advancing, and a good physiotherapist should adapt accordingly. So, how do you choose the right physiotherapist? Here are some key factors to consider: ✅ Specialization Matters Not all physiotherapists treat every condition effectively. Choose a therapist who specializes in your specific issue—whether it's neurological rehabilitation, sports injuries, post-surgical recovery, women's health, or chronic pain management . A specialist will have advanced training, experience, and a deeper understanding of your condition. ✅ Thorough Assessment & Clear Communication A good physiotherapist should conduct a det...

Roma’s Journey to Confidence: A Story of Strength Roma had always found joy in the simple things—her morning walks, the aroma of spices in her kitchen, and the peaceful prayers at the temple. But after her hip replacement, a sudden fall had shaken her confidence. The fear of falling again kept her from stepping outside, making her feel trapped in her own home. She was got to us by her daughter We started working on her balance and gait.   One day, we gently reassured her, “Roma, confidence comes with practice. Let’s start small.” We worked on balance exercises, strengthening her legs and improving her posture. With time, she learned how to walk with stability, using the right techniques to prevent falls. Her daughter encouraged her to cook again, arranging a sturdy chair by the counter so she could prepare meals safely. Slowly, Roma’s spirit lifted. She ventured out for short walks, first with support, then on her own. The day she finally stepped into the temple after months, she f...

Neuropilates combines Pilates principles with neurological rehabilitation, customizing exercises to address specific cognitive and physical challenges in patients.  For example, with Parkinson’s patients, the focus is on improving coordination, mobility, and awareness. The exercises are designed to enhance both motor skills and cognitive control, empowering patients to actively engage in their recovery. It’s not just about strengthening muscles but also about improving brain-body connection, leading to better overall function and quality of life. Neuropilates can improve memory and focus. Here's how: Mind-Body Connection : Neuropilates encourages patients to engage both the body and mind, promoting cognitive awareness during physical exercises. This dual focus can improve attention and concentration. Cognitive Stimulation : Exercises involving coordination, balance, and multi-step movements challenge the brain, enhancing cognitive functions like focus, problem-solving, and memory. ...
