I found Mr Dinesh through HexaHealth when I needed physiotherapy for a hamstring injury. Appointment was arranged the next day at Manipal Hospital Sarjapur Road. He assessed me thoroughly and started treatment that same session. HexaHealth made the booking effortless and Mr Dinesh's treatment was spot on. Back to running in five weeks.

I was a bit hesitant because Mr Dinesh is younger than the physiotherapists I had seen before. I need not have worried at all. His knowledge of manual therapy techniques is exceptional and his ability to assess movement dysfunction is far beyond what I expected. He diagnosed a fascial restriction that was contributing to my recurring groin strain and after treatment with fascial manipulation the problem resolved. His research background shows in how methodical his clinical reasoning is. For anyone in Bangalore dealing with a sports injury or musculoskeletal problem he is absolutely the right physiotherapist to see.

I appreciate that Mr Dinesh explains the evidence behind every treatment decision. He told me clearly what would help and what would not instead of just trying everything. My ankle ligament injury was managed with rigid taping and progressive rehabilitation. He was transparent about the timeline and the actual outcome matched what he said it would be.

I tore my ACL during a football match and my orthopaedic surgeon said recovery would take at least nine months. Mr Dinesh Dharmalingam at Manipal Hospital Sarjapur Road had me back on the field in six and a half months. His return to play protocol was very structured and he monitored every phase carefully. He used Mulligan mobilisation and kinesiology taping alongside strength training. My knee feels stronger now than it did before the injury. Genuinely the best sports physiotherapist in Bangalore.

I had rotator cuff pain for almost two years. Two previous physiotherapists had given me the same set of band exercises with no real improvement. Mr Dinesh did a proper biomechanical assessment and found muscle imbalances I had no idea about. He used myofascial release and IASTM alongside a customised strength program. Within eight weeks the pain was gone. I wish I had found him sooner.

After my meniscus repair surgery I was nervous about physiotherapy. Mr Dinesh at Manipal Hospital Sarjapur Road was very reassuring. He gave me a clear week by week plan and explained the healing timeline honestly. He used progressive loading and functional exercises at the right time. I am back to hiking which my surgeon said would take at least a year.

I had knee pain for three years from running. Multiple treatments had helped temporarily but nothing lasted. Mr Dinesh did a gait and biomechanics analysis and found I had a hip stability issue that was causing the knee problem. Nobody had ever looked at it that way before. He corrected the underlying cause and the knee pain has not returned in seven months.

What I like most about Mr Dinesh is that he is present during every session. He is not the type who sets up a machine and leaves the room. He manually works on the tissue explains what he is doing and adjusts based on your response. I went to him for chronic upper back pain from desk work and the combination of IASTM and postural correction has transformed my comfort levels at work.

I had lumbar spine surgery and was told it would be at least a year before I could play cricket again. Mr Dinesh started my rehabilitation early and was very careful about what exercises were safe at each stage. He pushed me appropriately and educated me about my spine throughout. I played my first match ten months post surgery. My surgeon was genuinely surprised.

My teenage son had a chronic hamstring injury that kept recurring during athletics training. Mr Dinesh analysed his running mechanics and identified a weakness pattern that was causing the repeated strain. He redesigned the training load and added specific strengthening. My son has not had a recurrence in eight months and has improved his sprint time. Very impressive sports physiotherapy.
