  Dr. Apoorva Nagar PT (MPT Ortho) Assist. Proff Santosh medical college I still remember my first day as a physiotherapy student, excited that I was finally embarking on the journey that I had worked so hard for. As I entered a hall full of unfamiliar faces, I began to feel dread and excitement in equal measure. Anxiously waiting to find some friendly faces, I tried to blend in with a small group of students.

  Nystagmus plays a pivotal role in vestibular assessment and is a key clinical indicator used to evaluate balance disorders and dizziness. At   Santosh Institute of Allied Health Sciences , understanding the clinical relevance of nystagmus helps allied health professionals accurately differentiate between central and peripheral vestibular pathologies, leading to effective diagnosis and management. What is Nystagmus? Nystagmus is defined as an involuntary, rhythmic oscillation of the eyes, typically consisting of a slow phase movement followed by a rapid corrective movement in the opposite direction. Clinically, the fast phase of the eye movement is used to identify and name the direction of nystagmus. Nystagmus may occur in horizontal, vertical, or torsional planes and is frequently associated with symptoms such as vertigo, imbalance, and nausea. The characteristics of nystagmus such as its waveform, direction, duration, habituation, and triggering factors provide crucial inf...

  For years, physiotherapy was often seen as a solution reserved for serious injuries or unbearable pain. Many people visited a physiotherapist only when discomfort began to interfere with daily life. However, this mindset is steadily changing. Today, more individuals are turning towards holistic and preventive physiotherapy, recognising that pain is not something that suddenly appears—it is usually the body’s way of communicating long-ignored signals. Modern lifestyles have significantly altered the way our bodies function. Long hours of sitting, excessive screen time, reduced physical activity, poor posture, stress, and irregular sleep patterns all contribute to muscular imbalances and joint strain. By the time pain becomes severe, the body has often been compensating for weeks or even months. This growing awareness has led people to seek gentler, more sustainable approaches to physical health. Understanding Holistic Physiotherapy Holistic  physiotherapy  focuses on the...
