Saanvi Verma, a 28-year-old software developer...
Saanvi Verma, a 28-year-old software developer and avid runner, began experiencing sharp, debilitating pain in her right hip and lower back six months ago. The pain, which she initially dismissed as muscle soreness, gradually worsened to the point where she could no longer run or sit for long periods at her desk. An MRI revealed a mild lumbar disc bulge and significant muscle imbalances from her sedentary job and repetitive running form. Her orthopedist recommended physiotherapy to avoid surgery. Saanvi's treatment involved manual therapy for pain relief, core stabilization exercises, and a gradual gait re-education program for running. Over 12 weeks, her pain subsided from an 8/10 to a 1/10. She emotionally transitioned from feeling frustrated and 'broken,' fearing her active life was over, to feeling empowered and knowledgeable about her body. She has since returned to running with a modified, stronger technique and feels more resilient than before her injury.
