About Us
We treat the cause, not the sore spot
Muscle Lab is an assessment-first physiotherapy clinic at 207, 2nd Floor, Ackruti Star, MIDC Central Road, Kondivita, Andheri East, Mumbai 400093 rated 4.9 out of 5 across 83 Google reviews. Every new patient gets a 45 to 60 minute assessment of movement, load and nerve behaviour, with hands-on treatment starting in that same first visit rather than weeks later.
People come for back and neck pain that has not settled in 6 to 12 weeks, sciatica and slipped disc, sports injuries, scoliosis, recovery after surgery, TMJ and jaw pain, and pelvic floor problems. About 619 million people lived with low back pain worldwide in 2020 according to the World Health Organization, and about 80% of adults experience it at some point in their lives (US NINDS), so persistent pain that outlasts rest and painkillers is the clinic's core work.
Most patients arrive after a scan, a course of painkillers, or a physiotherapy program that eased the symptom and left the reason in place. The first session is a full assessment of movement, load and nerve behaviour, and the treatment starts in that same visit rather than weeks later.
That is what patients describe most often in the clinic's 83 Google reviews: a thorough assessment, the cause explained in plain language, a professional and compassionate team, and treatment tailored to the person rather than sold as a fixed package.
Dr. Sneha Ramchandani and Dr. Prajakta Gosavi treat with manual therapy, NeuroKinetic Therapy, dry needling, sports taping and Matrix Rhythm Therapy, then hand over the exercises that hold the result between sessions. Muscle Lab is a women-owned clinic, rated 4.9 out of 5 (98%) on Google.

What We Do
What we can help you with
Muscle Lab treats 12 musculoskeletal and sports conditions with assessment-first physiotherapy from 2 clinicians, rated 4.9 out of 5 (97.6% five-star) across 83 Google reviews. Each program starts with a 45 to 60 minute assessment and same-visit treatment, and most acute cases settle in 4 to 6 sessions.
Complex & Chronic Pain

Learn morePost Surgery Rehabilitation

Learn morePost-Fracture Rehabilitation

How many physiotherapy sessions will you need?
Most acute injuries at Muscle Lab settle in 4 to 6 sessions spread over 3 to 4 weeks, with progress formally reviewed at session 3 and the plan changed, not extended, if it is not working by then. Long-standing pain and post-surgical rehabilitation take longer because tissue healing and strength rebuilding run on week-scale timelines.
The first visit runs 45 to 60 minutes and includes hands-on treatment in the same appointment, so week 1 produces a working diagnosis plus relief, not just paperwork. New patients are usually seen within 2 to 3 working days, and the clinic is open 48 hours a week, Monday to Saturday 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. That early start matters because about 20% of acute low back pain cases develop into chronic pain lasting a year or more (US NINDS). NICE guidance (NG59) advises staying active and starting structured exercise early for low back pain and sciatica rather than waiting on rest.
Across 12 treatment areas, from sciatica and slipped disc to post-fracture rehab, the pattern is the same: a 45 to 60 minute assessment, a session-3 checkpoint, and a home program between visits so the 4 to 6 session estimate holds instead of drifting into open-ended packages.
Why does assessment-first care work for chronic pain?
Assessment-first care works because about 85% of persistent low back pain is classified as non-specific, with no single scan finding explaining it (NICE NG59), so the clinic tests movement, load tolerance and nerve behaviour for 45 to 60 minutes before treating. That check finds the driver behind the symptom, and treatment starts in the same visit.
The scale of the problem is large. The World Health Organization reported in 2023 that 619 million people lived with low back pain in 2020, projected to reach 843 million by 2050, a 36% increase driven by population growth and ageing (WHO Rehabilitation fact sheet). The US NINDS adds that about 80% of adults experience low back pain at some point in their lives. Against that background, Muscle Lab combines 5 evidence-led methods, manual therapy, NeuroKinetic Therapy, dry needling, sports taping and Matrix Rhythm Therapy, plus graded exercise, rather than selling one modality as a fixed 10 or 12 session package.
Patients describe the difference in the clinic's 83 Google reviews, rated 4.9 out of 5 (a 98% equivalent score): a thorough assessment, the cause explained in plain language, and exercises that hold the result between the 4 to 6 scheduled sessions.
What do Muscle Lab's own patient numbers show?
Muscle Lab holds a 4.9 out of 5 rating across 83 Google reviews as of November 2026, with 81 five-star reviews, 1 four-star review and 1 one-star review. That is 97.6% five-star feedback with only 2.4% of reviews below five stars, and every quoted review on this site links back to the public Google profile so the wording can be checked directly.
The team behind those numbers is small on purpose: 2 physiotherapists covering 12 treatment areas, led by Dr. Sneha Ramchandani, a Level 3 NeuroKinetic Therapy practitioner and Lead Instructor for NKT India who has trained more than 300 physiotherapists across the country. Patients travel from 9 nearby areas, MIDC, Kondivita, Chakala, Marol, Sakinaka, Powai, Vile Parle, Juhu and Bandra, to the clinic at Ackruti Star, above the China Gate restaurant on MIDC Central Road.
Access is appointment-only across 48 opening hours each week, Monday to Saturday 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and first assessments run 45 to 60 minutes with treatment included, which is why new patients are typically booked within 2 to 3 working days rather than 2 to 3 weeks.
What happens in your first visit, step by step?
Your first visit lasts 45 to 60 minutes and follows 5 steps in one appointment: history, movement and nerve assessment, a plain-language diagnosis, hands-on treatment the same day, and a written home program. You leave visit 1 with a named cause and the first treatment done, not a referral for more scans.
Bring shorts and a t-shirt plus any scan reports, prescriptions or discharge summaries, even ones from 2 to 5 years ago, because the timeline matters as much as the image. No doctor referral is needed for the 45 to 60 minute assessment, and if the findings point to a fracture, infection or surgical case, the clinic refers on instead of booking sessions 2 to 6.
Booking takes under 2 minutes on WhatsApp at +91 93212 50652. Visits are appointment-only at 207, 2nd Floor, Ackruti Star, MIDC Central Road, Kondivita, Andheri East, Mumbai 400093, Google Plus Code 4V9C+95 Mumbai, Maharashtra, a short auto ride from Andheri station and close to the Western Express Highway.

“Great experience! Dr. Sneha and her team are highly skilled, patient, and very thorough in assessing the issue at hand. I personally experienced significant relief after my first session. I truly appreciate their approach of focusing on identifying and treating the root cause of the pain rather than just the symptoms. They also ensure that the patient is well informed about the condition, the treatment plan, and the necessary aftercare. Highly recommended.”

Google Maps“Dr. Sneha is very knowledgeable about the kinetics of the body. She is adept in recognizing the root cause of the problem and her treatment is spot on. One can expect great results in just a few sessions. She is very progressive in her treatment technique and not only understands movement but also has a holistic approach to healing. She is able to tailor fit her treatments to the clients needs using various different manual therapy techniques. I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their mobility and quality of life. She also has a great admin team who is very helpful. Extremely well run, I am impressed and more importantly feeling 1000 times better.”

Google Maps“I have been following NKT on Facebook and was so happy to finally find their branch here in Mumbai. After trying several physiotherapists in 6-7 months, I came to Muscle Lab. The first session felt like a miracle, 90% of my pain was gone. Since then I have done additional sessions and with each successive session my physical health and strength improves. The clinic is peaceful and thoughtful, Dr. Sneha and Dr. Prajakta are really good listeners and very keen to understand the issues and figure out the underlying problems. In far fewer sessions than I have worked with other physios till now, all my existing and any upcoming issues have been addressed.”

Do I need a doctor referral to see a physiotherapist?
No. You can book a 45 to 60 minute physiotherapy assessment directly. If the assessment points to something that needs imaging or a surgical opinion, the clinic says so and refers you on rather than booking sessions two to six.
What should I wear or bring?
Wear clothing you can move in, such as shorts and a t-shirt for a back, hip or knee problem. Bring any scan reports, prescriptions or discharge summaries you already have, even ones from two to five years ago, because the timeline of the injury matters as much as the scan.

How many sessions will I need?
Many acute injuries settle in four to six sessions over three to four weeks, with the first visit running 45 to 60 minutes including same-visit treatment. Long-standing pain and post-surgical rehabilitation take longer, with progress reviewed at session three. If the plan is not working by then, it changes rather than continues.
