Ms. Shivani, Physiotherapy Executive, Columbia Asia Hospital Hebbal, says, “When Ria was brought to our hospital, she had only eye ball movement, she wasn’t able to sit nor move around. Basically, brain fever effects the central nervous system and the spine. Due to which a person can lose motor functions. But with regular physiotherapy at the hospital and home, and because of her tender age she had a pretty fast recovery in a span of one month. We are so glad to see the child back in full swing.”

The therapy sessions which consisted of neurophysiological approach, mainly focuses on activating the sensory receptors that are responsible for motor movements, i.e, activating the physical functioning of the whole body. Other than this positioning, stretching and balancing exercises were a part of the therapy.

Ria’s parents who were overwhelmed with the whole situation after physiotherapy sessions, said, “The physiotherapists at Columbia Asia Hospital Hebbal were very supportive throughout their treatment. My daughter lost her body movement all of a sudden, to look at her was a painful for us as she is an active child. We had completely lost hope that our child would be back to normal. But thanks to the therapy sessions, Ria regained her whole-body consciousness and activity. I’m very grateful to the whole team of physiotherapy for giving my child another healthy life.”
