In the busy city of Thane, where long hours, traffic, and stress have become part of everyday life, physiotherapist Dr Ajay Yadav has built a name for himself as someone who heals not just the body but also helps people find peace of mind. A well-known physiotherapist and an active member of The Thane Club, Dr Ajay’s journey into this field is inspiring.
Interestingly, physiotherapy was not his first choice. Dr Ajay had once dreamt of becoming a cardiologist. But over time, he found himself drawn to physiotherapy, a profession where he could directly connect with people, understand their struggles, and help them return to a pain-free life. After completing his Bachelor’s degree in Physiotherapy, he went on to do his Master’s in Musculoskeletal Science. With strong academic grounding and a passion for the subject, to further enhance his skills, Dr. Ajay Yadav went for a specialised Manual Therapy (New Zealand) and American Integrated Functional Dry Needling (USA), and later he began his practice in 2008.
For two years, he worked at various hospitals in Thane, Mulund, and Airoli, gaining wide experience in different cases and patient needs. But Dr Ajay’s real turning point came in 2010, when he decided to start his own clinic, Physiofitguru. Back then, independent clinics were not very popular. Most people trusted only hospital-based physiotherapy, and it was not easy to convince them otherwise. But he stood firm. With patience, consistency, and genuine care for his patients, he slowly built trust and a reputation for himself. Today, his clinic is well known, and many people prefer it for his personalised attention.
Over the years, Dr Ajay has seen how changing lifestyles are affecting health. He points out that modern life, filled with long sitting hours, poor posture, gadgets, and stress, is leading to more body pain than ever before. But he believes pain is not always just physical-it can also have emotional roots. “Sometimes what the body feels is connected to the mind,” he often explains. As a physiotherapist, he spends time educating people about this connection, making them aware that healing needs both movement and mindfulness.
Through his journey, Dr Ajay Yadav has shown that physiotherapy is not only about recovery from injuries or pain, but also about guiding people towards healthier and happier lives.
Dr Ajay strongly advises everyone, especially youngsters, to remain physically active. In his view, exercise is not just about fitness but also about preventing future health issues and maintaining a balanced lifestyle. His approach is simple: be consistent, stay active, and respect your body prefers it for his personalised attention.
