The concept

 

overcoming your ‘la ultra’

It’s funny how medicine has now become a hobby. Like Sherlock Holmes, I often find myself solving puzzles. Most of the times its people suffering with pain who’ll tell me the solution in the 44th minute. I just need to summarise it for them. Yep, I spend 45 to 60 minutes with each patient.

Back 2 Fitness (a unit of V. G. Consultancy Private Limited) looks at addressing the massive vacuum that exists between ‘healthcare’ and ‘fitness’ industries. 

The Healthcare Industry caters to Sickness and Illness but struggles to deal with either Health or Care. We as doctors are not trained in medical colleges to deal with health and care. In our arsenal we only have medicines and surgeries. The largest organ in the human body, the neuro-musculo-skeletal system, is completely ignored.

The Fitness Industry has become more of a ‘hospitality’ and ‘hulk’ industry. To make it worse, this industry is mushrooming but it’s very unorganized and has no quality control.

We at Back 2 Fitness are more like guides to our clients and patients. We encourage them to pro-actively address their problems by first becoming aware of what the problem is and then changing their lifestyle accordingly.

 

 

 

our expertise

Where does Back 2 Fitness fit in between the over-crowed healthcare and fitness industries?

Exactly, in between, literally.

performance | prevention | rehabilitation

We specialise in:

a. Non-Surgical Approach to Managing Back, Neck and Knee Pain. Very often MRIs and surgeries are suggested when not needed. We specialise in giving an unbiased opinion if either is needed at all, or now. 

b. Help Sports people, weekend-warriors to amateurs to professionals, to perform even better, stay injury free and if injuries do happen, have an holistic approach to the problem, rather than just symptomatic.

 

 

 

Philosophy behind back 2 fitness

Back 2 Fitness is meant to be more of a move-mint (yes, a movement to get people to ‘move’ with a bit of minty flavour) which involves people from all walks of life. This idea was conceptualised 12 years ago and has been in existence for over 8 years now (July 2008).

It’s more of a demand by the society, which like almost all things, they don’t appreciate yet. Today’s lifestyle has made us all lose our optimum health, which almost all of us were born with. But then in today’s rat race, we have managed to lose it all.

In it’s clinical avatar, Back 2 Fitness focuses on getting people back to fitness and also getting their 'backs' to fitness too (along with neck and knee). In the process helping them to perform at their optimum levels.

If our clients don't have any pains (esp. back, neck, knee), but potentially could in the near future because of poor lifestyle, idea is to nip it in the bud. We also help sportspeople with performance enhancement and injury prevention.

Almost quarter (8 hrs) of our lives are spent sleeping, sitting and in shoes, but no one seems to be having a wholistic view to addressing those beds, chairs and shoes with rest of health care and wellness? Today's health apps are a good start but they aren't really solving anything yet. We are keen to change that.  

Idea is not to limit it to individuals but taking it to the society, to the community like schools, corporates, runners etc. through various programs we run.

Plan is to Get India FiT (GIFT).
