PHYSIOTIMES Magazine - November - December 2016

In this issue

Nothing worth having comes easy. Obsessed is the word the lazy use to describe the dedicated. 4.15 AM is that time of the morning when most of us are sleeping in the cozy comfort of our quilts. But there are a few passionate beings who are busy creating a life that is extraordinary. A life that is epic and legendary. A life of a true champion. A champion called P V Sindhu.

We are privileged to present an interview with India’s latest Badminton sensation Pusarla Venkata Sindhu, whose name is synonymous to relentless hardwork & unremitting devotion. The interview focuses on various aspects of badminton as a sport and how physiotherapy plays a crucial role in keeping her fit and game
ready during training and tournaments.

The issue also features an interview with Dr. Kiran Challagundla, Physiotherapist - Indian Badminton Team and
a very vital part of the Olympic glory brought by Sindhu along with the coach P. Gopichand. He has discussed his long standing association with badminton and how a physio plays different roles at different stages.

New technologies like high intensity laser, inversion therapy & EndoRush, a Rehab App are discussed. Also presented is a new trend in taping called dynamic taping. As a tribute to our chief mentor, Late Dr. M. G. Mokashi,
who insisted us to cover ergonomics articles, we have included an interview of Prof. P. N. Saha, a pioneer in Ergonomics along with a special article on Cardiovascular Ergonomics.

The issue contains a brief report on our nation-wide series of seminars on Marketing in Physiotherapy in
cities like Guwahati, Kolkata, Ranchi, Patna and Lucknow. The issue also covers current affairs and an
