Testimonials
“After my mastectomy, I was struggling with arm mobility and constant swelling. I didn’t even know what lymphedema was until I met Dr. Tausiya.
Her knowledge, combined with her compassion, changed everything. She introduced me to simple exercises, manual drainage, and proper compression wear. Within a few weeks, I felt like I had regained control over my body again. I only wish I had met her earlier!”

I’m Sheela Kamat, a 64-year-old cancer survivor. I had uterine cancer in 2020 and breast cancer in 2022. Post-treatment, I developed severe lymphedema in both legs and my left arm, which affected my mobility and strength.
Doctors recommended physiotherapy, but regular exercises didn’t help much. That’s when I was referred to Dr. Tausiya Ansari, a specialist in onco-physiotherapy.
From day one, she filled me with positivity. She explained her plan in detail and guided me through breathing, neck, arm, and leg exercises. She also included manual lymphatic drainage and suggested class 2 compression sleeves and stockings due to my skin sensitivity. We even added weights and Theraband for strength training.
After just 10 days, my legs were 90% back to normal, and my arm showed significant improvement too. Dr. Tausiya continued to motivate me even after sessions through regular follow-ups. Today, I’m living a normal, active life — all thanks to her care, dedication, and expertise.”

“My 72-year-old father had undergone chemotherapy for colon cancer, and post-treatment weakness left him almost bedridden. We were unsure if physiotherapy could help someone his age, but Dr. Tausiya proved us wrong.
She worked with him gently, with so much respect for his limits, and yet pushed him just enough. Now, he walks independently with a walker and has even started attending family gatherings again. She gave him not just strength, but dignity back.”
