To live, once again There’s only one thing that’s certain in these times: uncertainty!

EDIT

Everything around us is in a state of flux, with contrary news items, paradoxical media posts, opposing expert statements, and constantly changing statistics.

Travel & Shop is back once again!

What to believe and what not to believe from all the news and views bombarding us from all directions – is the biggest dilemma.

Is the third wave going to hit us soon? Are the new variants going to get us despite being vaccinated? Should we go out? Stay in?

There are no sure answers anywhere, only half-baked opinions by the dozen.

After months of putting everything on hold, we are pleased to bring you once again a new issue of Travel & Shop.

Read, refer, share.

Because, pandemic or no pandemic, as the famous song goes, the show must go on!

engaluru is a traveller’s delight. It starts with the air conditioned Volvo buses and the pre-paid taxi counter at the airport. Not to mention, the pre-paid auto counters at the city’s railway stations. But the finest example is the ease with which you can navigate the central business district of MG Road and around with the Big 10 buses. You can hop on and hop off at any point after your shopping expedition. But the finest experience will be the first reach of the Namma Metro train running from Old Madras Road to MG Road.

Happy travels.

ith Bengaluru, the sobriquets keep getting added up. From Air Conditioned City to Aviation Capital to Garden City, this small town turned technopolis has added a new word to the American lexicon: ‘Bangalored’. It means ‘to lose one’s job’ as a result of off shoring work to India.

That’s not all. The city is emerging as a medical tourism hub in India by offering ‘First World Service at Third World Cost’. What’s more, the best and the brightest multinationals are spicing up the retail scene by test-marketing large format stores like Reebok, Levi’s, Adidas, Esprit and Nautica. It’s become a ‘yuppie heaven’. Now that’s yet another sobriquet for the city.

With the Metro Rail opening in phases, things are getting better by the day. Visit the city and be bowled over.

On World Physiotherapy Day– 8th September 2021

Learn about the 3-pronged approach of physiotherapy:

Preventive-Curative-Rehabilitative

8th September 2021 is World Physiotherapy Day. It’s the day to bring back into focus one of the most potent tools of wellness available to us today – Physiotherapy! Welcome to Perfect Bounce, the brain behind which is the indomitable Dr Richa Singh, a lady of grit, determination and passion to drive home the multifarious advantages of physiotherapy to all levels of patients, especially those in sports.

With the recently concluded Tokyo Olympics and currently ongoing Paralympics, sports are centre-stage once again after the extended ordeal of the pandemic, and we have seen that it takes a sportsperson to be “faster, higher, stronger” in both body and mind in order to stay in top form and perform optimally – all crucial qualities that can be inculcated and boosted further with a good physiotherapy regimen on their side to support them.

Dr Richa Singh, a well-established name in sports physiotherapy, has been treating and healing athletes and other sportspersons for years now, in India as well as on the international arena. The founder of Perfect Bounce, Bangalore’s leading physiotherapy centre, she has devised a 3-pronged approach

to physiotherapy to reap its benefits to the fullest, namely, Preventive, Curative, Rehabilitative physiotherapy.

Preventive physiotherapy focusses on whole body alignment correction, gait analysis as well as food and nutritional correction. The steps involve first, a personal consultation with the doctor for a complete physical assessment to determine the current condition and fitness level.

Then a qualified and trained physiotherapist will work closely with the person to bring them to optimum body fitness, through exercises, minor treatments and corrections where needed, and regular follow-ups to keep them ready for the intense physical activity, effectively making the body groundwork strong for them to optimise their performance on the field.

Even for lay people who may not be into sports, preventive physiotherapy needs to become part of their regular health regimen. Just as we periodically visit a medical doctor for routine check-ups, in the same way, even a physiotherapy consultation should be done as a preventive for correcting body alignments in the initial stages itself, without waiting for a full blown debilitating condition before taking action. In fact, a preventive session may well ensure that one doesn’t need to progress to the next phase of condition at all!

Curative physiotherapy comes next. This is the stage of active treatment through various physiotherapy tools like manual therapy, dry needling, cupping and others depending on requirement and severity of condition.

Exercise & rehabilitation space at Perfect Bounce clinic

For sportspersons, it means planned treatment sessions and focussed exercises for sports injuries, mostly muscle and ligament related, which are a common fallout of professional or active sports.

The intensity, types and duration of the treatments is planned based on the individual’s condition and will differ from person to person. Extent of injury, nutritional factor, any pre-existing condition or comorbidity factor, overall patient physical and mental state – all these are taken into account before a comprehensive treatment plan is put into place for complete healing to take place.

The same applies to non-sports persons, where their individual condition will determine the doctor’s customised treatment plan to cure and heal them through various physiotherapy treatment options.

HIT THE HIGH NOTES Pubs, clubs, lounge bars...

T

he city is famous for its bars and pubs.

It’s called the Beer Capital of India. With good reason. But the best reason to pub hop?

It’s cosmopolitan crowd and the niche pubs that serve a select clientele. There are lounge spaces for the ladies, retro lovers and jazz enthusiasts. Not to mention, resto-bars, sports bars, roof-top bars, hookah bars, dance bars and cigar lounges for the casual and adventurous. Not to mention, the city’s first wine boutique pub. Reason enough to rewind, reboot and restart.

•Alcohol may not be served at some of these places, as per Supreme Court regulation.

Please call the pub/restaurant to confirm.
