Our physiotherapists combine these treatments with guided exercises so you not only feel relief now but also prevent pain from returning.
| Exercise | Purpose | Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| Foam Roller āTā and āYā | Opens chest and stretches shoulders |
|
| Neck & Shoulder Rolls | Gentle joint mobility |
|
| Seated Neck Stretch | Side-neck muscle release |
|
| Prone Rows / Band Rows | Strengthens upper back & neck |
|
| Aquatic Exercises | Low-impact water-assisted moves |
|
Tip: Always check with a physiotherapist before starting these exercises.
Note: Always check with a physiotherapist before starting these exercises.
This exercise uses a foam roller to open up the chest and stretch the shoulders. You lie on your back on the roller and move your arms into āTā and āYā shapes.
Why it works: Sitting for long hours can make your chest muscles tight and your shoulders round forward. This movement helps reverse that posture, improves flexibility, and relieves neck and shoulder tension. Itās especially good if your neck pain comes from desk work.
This is a very gentle mobility exercise where you slowly roll your shoulders forward and backward, and then gently move your neck in circles.
Why it works: These small movements help lubricate your joints, improve blood flow, and reduce stiffness. Theyāre safe to do even when youāre at work or in between tasks, making them great for quick relief.
In this stretch, you sit upright, hold the edge of your chair with one hand, and gently tilt your head to the opposite side to stretch the side of your neck.
Why it works: It targets tight muscles like the upper trapezius and levator scapulae, which often get tense from poor posture. Regular stretching here can reduce neck pain and improve your head movement range.
This strengthening exercise can be done lying face down (prone) or using a resistance band. You pull your arms back as if rowing.
Why it works: It strengthens the upper back, shoulder stabilizers, and neck muscles. Stronger back muscles improve posture, which prevents neck strain and future injuries.
These are low-impact movements performed in water, like gentle arm raises or shoulder circles. The water supports your body, making movements easier.
Why it works: Perfect for people with severe pain or limited mobility, because water reduces joint strain while still allowing muscle activation. It also helps relax tight muscles.

Before Physiotherapy:
Amit, 37, an IT professional, spent 8 hours a day working on his laptop. His neck and shoulders were constantly stiff and painful. Simple tasks like turning his head, using his phone, or sleeping comfortably became difficult. He tried painkillers and home remedies, but the relief was only temporary.

Resolve360 is great platform for online physiotherapy.
I was suffering from scapula dyskinesia and had lot of pain in right shoulder movement. I was introduced to Resolve 360 by my oncologist.
Within a month (26 sessions) there was a considerable improvement. Sessions are very cost-effective and doctors are very kind and efficient.
Doctor David has been really great and helpful. I would highly recommend Resolve 360.
I took prenatal care program from Resolve 360. Dr. Preyrna was assigned to me and she has done commendable job. I did prenatal exercises under her supervision, she designed program according to my body need. With her help my pregnancy was healthy and I got good dilations at the time of delivery. I am blessed with a healthy baby girl and very happy with Resolve 360.
Best therapy sessions that too at home and timings are very flexible. I had a issue in my neck and lower back since almost 4 to 5 years, taken so many treatments and physio sessions. But all gave a temporary relief. Then my friend referred me this Resolve 360 in 2020, in starting i was hesitant as everything was online, but after taking almost 10 sessions i got much relief, and now i am almost free of pain. Thanks to the team of Resolve 360.
I had online Physiotherpy sessions by Prerana for my heel pain. ( Tendo Achilis Sprain).
Though virtual, it was more interactive.
She was very observant throughout the sessions, correcting me while doing the exercises and was assertive in her outlook.
I found her instructions and methodology very helpful. She is updated in her academic knowledge in the field of Physiotherpy. She clarified my doubts about the role of Laser and Ultrasound treatment quoting evidence based data. With my personal experience I agree with her opinion that these are more of placebo effect.
Physiotherpy though not a miracle treatment, is a compelling necessity to most of the musculoskeletal and neurological illnesses. It needs to be accepted as healthy way to live.
From being a couch potato with poor cardio respiratory system to reaching pre-athlete levels of fitness in a span of 3 months, my journey with Resolve360 and Dr.David (Physiotherapist) has been anything but magical!
About 3 to 4 months ago, my blood report showed very high bad cholesterol levels, I was low on stamina and had frequent breathing issues. My GP prescribed me cholesterol meds for a month but I felt that alone wouldnāt get me back in shape because I needed a major lifestyle overhaul.
Dr.David educated me about my condition in detail and where it could lead me to if I donāt take action in the long run. He put me on a balanced workout regime being easy with cardio workouts in the initial days and gradually upgraded it observing me closely. He also advises me on dietary choices and follows up frequently. During the initial days, my ears used to get blocked within 5 wall squats and I stop right away but now I do over 20 in one shot and hardly feel a thing. I used to lose balance and fall off over my face within 6 push-ups or 20 seconds of plank and now I do about 24 push-ups in one shot. My heart rate used to raise above 150 bpm doing jumping jacks or other cardio workout within 20-30 seconds. You wonāt believe I donāt do any of these cardio workouts without additional weights on my feet these days and my heart rate and recovery are as steady as they could get. I couldnāt run for over 2 min without stopping and gasping and now I cover about 4.6 km in 30 min and follow-up with a 20 min walk. Not convinced yet? My VO2 Max (I use an Apple Watch to measure this stat) was just about 33 while I started with Resolve360 and David. That reflects a very poor cardio respiratory fitness for a 34 year old. Itās 43.5 today ! Easily above average. Please read upon about VO2 Max and how it directly relates to cardio respiratory fitness so you get an accurate picture about my monumental progress in the last 3 months. Iāve been trying to get into a regular physical workout and balanced diet discipline since my 20s but Iād never been so motivated as Iām now. Give these guys a try. After all, the best investment you could ever make is on your health !
