Brief Statement of research work

My research focuses on musculoskeletal rehabilitation and evidence-based physiotherapy interventions aimed at improving functional outcomes in patients with orthopedic conditions. My work particularly explores the effectiveness of manual therapy techniques, including cervicothoracic mobilization, spinal manipulation, and therapeutic exercise in managing shoulder and upper limb disorders such as subacromial impingement syndrome. Through clinical research and comparative studies, I aim to identify effective rehabilitation strategies that enhance pain reduction, range of motion, and functional recovery. My broader research interests include orthopedic physiotherapy, neurorehabilitation, and the integration of evidence-based practice into clinical physiotherapy education and patient care.
