About 

Hi I'm Dr. Priyanka Arlekar

I graduated with Masters in Physical Therapy specializing in musculoskeletal conditions from the University of Indianapolis, US in 2014. I moved back to Mumbai, India & have been practicing physiotherapy mainly treating patients with knee , back and neck pain. ​

 

Around 10 years ago when my mother underwent Knee replacement, she was told that she would have to slow down her activities. However, she kept going & is keeping up with her daily routine today just like she would do it 10 years ago. ​

 

This made me realize that there is a huge gap between what information is given versus what is actually possible for people with Osteoarthritis. This deepened my interest in researching

what actually worked is staying active & cutting down the sedentary time. ​

​

There is so much that people with Osteoarthritis can do but are instead discouraged due to fear of aggravating pain. Being Overweight & mostly sedentary , I knew that if I expected my patients to get active , I should practice it to & I'm on my journey of doing that already.

 

​I intend to share advice based on the recent evidence for people with Osteoarthritis who are often told about things that they should NOT do or AVOID, but are hardly told how much their body is capable of DOING.​

 

Welcome to Flex Active Life! 

I'm here to support & guide you through this Journey.
