Ravina’s Story

Ravina’s Story

A case of 22 Yrs Female came with pain radiating to both arms from last 2 year taken no medical consultancies and 1 year physiotherapy with medicine but not subsided. Finally suggested for extra rib in cervical spine is to be operated. Finally referred to us, we evaluated trapezius was overworking, all 3 nerves median, radial and ulnar tension test were positive. Cervical spine and upper thoracic spine upto D6 PA and translatory movement affected. In respect of biomechanics evaluation posture is going to forward and occasional lower back pain simply signifies body’s LOG ( line of gravity shifted). We did treatment of Arthrokinetic therapy in which manually facilitated cervical and upper back joint movement which in reflex reduces tension on muscles and added progressive strengthening and endurance exercises of requisite muscles upto her requirement( means resistance or weight number of repetition)as per daily lifestyle. In 12 sitting she was fine. In last 3 year never symptoms came back as per last consultancy in may2024 for some other problems.


Why Arthrokinetic therapy different?


Because it allows body itself to decide or adapt exercises with every session naturally of individual that not needed to push for exercises which causes long time like 4-6 month sessions.

When Ravina first walked into our clinic, her face was etched with a tired blend of pain and desperation. At 22 years old, she should have been in the prime of her life, but instead, she was battling a relentless, radiating pain that traveled from her neck down both arms. This pain had been her unwelcome companion for the past two years, silently dictating the terms of her daily existence. Despite a year of physiotherapy and medication, the pain had refused to subside, tugging persistently at her resilience and hope.

Ravina’s journey towards relief saw a pivotal moment when she was finally referred to us, her last sanctuary after multiple unsuccessful attempts at finding a definitive solution. Her previous medical consultants had suggested an extra cervical rib might be the root cause of her agony – a rather uncommon condition called cervical rib syndrome. Surgery was on the table as a potential remedy, but Ravina, determined to explore all non-invasive options before considering the knife, arrived at our clinic seeking our expertise.

Upon her initial evaluation, several things stood out. Ravina’s both side trapezius and rhomboid muscles were overworked and tight. All three nerves running through her arms – the median, radial, and ulnar nerves – tested positive for tension, evidence of neural compression and irritation. Furthermore, when we examined Sarah’s cervical spine and upper thoracic spine up to the D6 vertebra, we noted that both PA (posterior-anterior) and translatory movements were restricted, a clear sign of joint dysfunction.

Ravina’s posture was another red flag. Her head and shoulders had shifted forward, throwing her body’s line of gravity (LOG) off balance. This forward shift not only explained her occasional lower back pain but underscored a fundamental postural imbalance affecting her entire musculoskeletal system.

After comprehensively assessing her condition, we recommended arthrokinetic therapy – a manual approach designed to restore proper joint movement, reduce muscle tension, and correct posture. Unlike traditional methods that often take months of therapy sessions to yield improvements, arthrokinetic therapy provides a more dynamic and responsive form of treatment. By focusing on the body’s natural ability to adapt and heal, we aimed to not only address Ravina’s immediate discomfort but to also fortify her body against future issues.

In Ravina’s case, our plan was clear: manually facilitate the movement of her cervical and upper back joints, thereby reducing tension on overstressed muscles like the trapezius and rhomboids. This primary intervention was complemented by a progressive strengthening and endurance training regimen tailored to Ravina’s lifestyle needs. We understood that her pain was not an isolated issue but a result of biomechanical imbalances that needed holistic correction.

Over the course of 12 sessions, we worked meticulously with Ravina. Each session built upon the last, introducing progressively challenging but manageable exercises. These exercises were not mere repetitive drills but were carefully calibrated to stimulate her body’s natural response to gradually increasing stress. By facilitating improved movement in her cervical and thoracic spine, we alleviated the neural tension that had been a significant source of her pain. Concurrently, targeted muscle strengthening helped correct her forward-slumping posture, redistributing her body’s line of gravity to its natural axis.

The transformation was remarkable. By the sixth session, Ravina reported a noticeable decrease in pain intensity. By the tenth session, she was able to perform daily tasks that had once seemed insurmountable without wincing in pain. By the twelfth and final session, Sarah walked out of our clinic with a renewed sense of freedom – her debilitating pain had subsided.

Ravina’s three-year follow-up in May 2024 was a moment of quiet triumph. She had come in for a completely unrelated issue, but it was a golden opportunity to check on her past ailment. We were not surprised but thrilled to find that her previous symptoms have never reoccurred.
