She adopts a patient-centred approach, tailoring interventions to individual clinical needs, functional limitations and recovery goals. Her ability to combine clinical knowledge with practical rehabilitation strategies enables her to support patients through different stages of recovery while maintaining high standards of safety and care.
At Santha Hospital in Andhra Pradesh, where she has been practising since January 2024, she conducts detailed assessments, establishes rehabilitation objectives and develops individualised treatment programmes. Her responsibilities include delivering evidence-based physiotherapy interventions, educating patients about home exercise and self-management strategies, monitoring progress and maintaining comprehensive clinical documentation.

Earlier, she worked at Medicover Hospitals, Telangana, where she managed both inpatient and outpatient cases involving musculoskeletal, neurological and respiratory conditions. Her experience included post-operative rehabilitation and physiotherapy management across intensive care units, where early mobilisation and safe therapeutic intervention are critical to patient recovery. She also supported physiotherapy interns through clinical guidance and participated in professional seminars covering physiotherapy practices and clinical subjects.
Her tenure at Queens NRI Hospital in Andhra Pradesh further strengthened her experience in ICU physiotherapy, respiratory care, early mobilisation, manual therapy, exercise therapy and pain management. She also delivered home-based rehabilitation, providing personalised care during community visits. Her systematic approach to clinical documentation and multidisciplinary coordination contributed to continuity and quality of patient care.
Her professional foundation was established during her physiotherapy internship at GSL Medical College, where she gained practical exposure to assessment, treatment planning, rehabilitation and patient management under senior clinical supervision. This early experience helped shape the comprehensive clinical approach that characterises her subsequent career.
