The practitioner
Meet Dr. Ankush Pandey
Physiotherapist (PT) · MSc Sports & Exercise Medicine, University of Leeds, United Kingdom
I founded SAKSHAM after advanced training in Sports & Exercise Medicine at the University of Leeds, UK, to bring that training to New Panvel — and to build every treatment plan around a real assessment, not a template.
My approach integrates orthopedic physiotherapy, sports injury rehabilitation, manual therapy and functional fitness to address a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions and movement-related challenges.
Every treatment plan is tailored to the individual — not just relief from pain, injury or surgery, but restoring strength, mobility, confidence and long-term physical well-being.
Whether you are an athlete working back to peak performance, a professional managing musculoskeletal pain, someone seeking improved mobility later in life, or recovering from surgery — the goal is the same: helping you move with confidence, strength and freedom.
