What Aparnaa's patients say...
Went for lower back pain that I’ve been experiencing for years. Within my first session Aparnaa was able to instantly relieve my pain and she immediately knew the root of the issue. She’s extremely knowledgeable, listens to your needs and gives you long-term solutions. She’s the best physiotherapist I’ve worked with and will definitely be going back!

I highly recommend Cornerstone Physiotherapy and Aparnaa for pelvic floor physiotherapy! Aparnaa was incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and professional throughout my journey. She helped me prepare for labour and delivery, and I felt so much more confident and informed. Her expertise in pelvic health made a huge difference, and I truly appreciate the personalized care she provided. If you’re looking for a skilled and compassionate physiotherapist, I can’t recommend Aparnaa enough!
