PhysioActive Clinical Team
The Physio Active clinical team is led by highly professional and ethical clinicians, Dr D.M. Manoj and Dr M.R. Zulfi, each with more than two decades of clinical expertise in treating sports and orthopedic injuries. They also actively propagate the benefits of physical therapy through various means to all sections of the community.
Through our deep experience, we know that the human body has a natural tendency to heal with the aid of natural elements such as heat, cold and electrical energy; Physiotherapy proves this convincingly. Along with this, physical therapy also leverages movements and exercises prescriptions. Additionally, technology has a huge role in making our services more effective and giving superior outcomes when tailored to the individual and handled by an expert and compassionate therapist.

Passionate Sports Physiotherapist | Advocate for Health and Wellness
With over 9 years of dedicated experience as a sports physiotherapist, I bring both professional expertise and personal passion for athletics to my practice. Having competed in basketball and remained active in various sports throughout my academic journey, I understand the physical and mental demands placed on athletes at all levels.
Throughout my career, I have successfully treated a diverse range of sports-related injuries—ranging from on-field challenges to off-field concerns—such as runner’s knee, jumper’s knee, low back pain, shoulder injuries, and ankle injuries. My experience spans grassroots athletes to elite competitors, including Asian Games medalists and Olympians, as well as addressing the needs of the geriatric population and those with lifestyle and postural issues.
I am driven by a commitment to uncover the root causes of my clients’ pain and movement dysfunctions. My approach integrates correction strategies, manual releases, activation work, and strengthening of the musculoskeletal system, emphasizing functional integration and sport-specific training.
My ultimate goal is to raise awareness about health, fitness, and injury prevention, empowering individuals to lead healthier lives and excel in their athletic pursuits.
When I’m not in the clinic, you can find me traveling and sketching, finding inspiration in new places and experiences.
