Bone, Joint & Spine Care at PRANA
Understanding Pain, Movement & Function – Beyond the Symptom
Pain or restricted movement in the spine, joints, muscles or surrounding tissues can affect how we work, exercise, sleep and carry out everyday activities.
At PRANA, Bone, Joint & Spine Care takes an individualised, multidisciplinary approach to musculoskeletal concerns.
Rather than looking at pain as an isolated symptom, assessment may consider the individual’s clinical history, movement, posture, functional limitations, lifestyle, previous injuries and overall health.
Depending on the individual’s needs, appropriate services and therapies may be coordinated through PRANA’s Integrated Wellness approach.

Our Approach to Bone, Joint & Spine Care
Clinical Assessment
Understanding where the pain is, how it behaves, what affects it, and how it influences movement and everyday function forms an important part of the assessment.
Relevant medical history, previous injuries, investigations and lifestyle factors may also be considered.
Movement & Functional Assessment
Movement, posture, joint mobility, muscle function and physical limitations can provide important information about an individual’s condition.
Individualised Care
There is no single approach that works for every musculoskeletal concern.
Care is selected according to the individual’s presentation, goals and clinical requirements.
Progressive Rehabilitation
Where physiotherapy or movement-based rehabilitation is appropriate, treatment may include targeted exercises, mobility work, strengthening and functional rehabilitation.
Therapies & Expertise at PRANA
Bone, Joint & Spine Care at PRANA can draw upon different areas of clinical expertise.
Homoeopathy
Dr. Sonali Bhonsle consults at PRANA’s Homoeopathy – Spine & Joint Care Clinic, with a particular clinical interest in musculoskeletal and rheumatological conditions.
Her approach considers the individual’s symptoms and broader health while incorporating relevant lifestyle and functional factors.
Physiotherapy, Osteopathy & Manual Therapy
A combined approach to pain, mobility and functional recovery, bringing together manual techniques, movement-based therapy and progressive rehabilitation. Treatment is tailored to the individual’s condition, needs and recovery goals.
Acupuncture
An individualised approach using selected acupuncture points as part of integrated care for pain, musculoskeletal discomfort and functional concerns, where appropriate.
Yoga Therapy
Where appropriate, Yoga Therapy can support mobility, body awareness, breathing, movement and relaxation as part of an individual’s broader wellness plan.
Nutrition & Dietetics
Nutrition may be considered as part of the broader lifestyle picture, particularly where dietary patterns and nutritional habits are relevant to overall health and well-being.
When Should You Seek an Assessment?
Musculoskeletal problems don’t always begin with severe pain.
An assessment may be useful when you experience:
- Persistent or recurring pain
- Reduced joint mobility
- Difficulty performing everyday movements
- Recurrent back or neck discomfort
- Stiffness after periods of inactivity
- Pain following an injury
- Difficulty returning to activity after surgery or injury
- Changes in posture or movement
- Persistent nerve-related symptoms such as tingling or numbness
Sudden weakness, loss of sensation, severe unexplained pain, loss of bladder or bowel control, or symptoms following significant trauma require prompt medical evaluation.
An Integrated Approach to Musculoskeletal Health
Bone, joint and spine concerns can have multiple contributing factors, which is why care at PRANA brings together different areas of clinical expertise and complementary approaches.
Depending on the individual’s condition and needs, the care plan may include Homoeopathy, Physiotherapy, Osteopathy & Manual Therapy, Acupuncture, Yoga Therapy, and Nutrition & Dietetics.
The focus is on understanding the individual’s symptoms, movement, function, lifestyle and overall health to determine the approaches that are appropriate for them.
Different perspectives. One coordinated approach. Personalised care.
