Why was aligncare created ?

In the heart of India, where bustling city streets meet quiet rural landscapes, three young doctors, Dr. Sahil Saini (PT), Dr. Rakesh Makar (PT) and Dr Suraj(PT) , found their calling—not within the sterile walls of a hospital, but out in the community, where the real stories of pain and hardship unfolded. It wasn’t just about medical cases for them anymore; it was about people—the farmers, the teachers, the students, the job persons the laborers—whose bodies were breaking down after years of unnoticed, untreated strain.

During their medical training in India’s top government hospitals like Safdarjung, AIIMS, LNJP, GB Panth, Baba Sahab Ambedkar three of them were deeply moved by what they saw. Day after day, they witnessed patients from all walks of life—many from low-income families—being wheeled in for surgeries that, in their hearts, the doctors knew could have been avoided. It was the same story, over and over again: a farmer crippled by back pain after years of bending in the fields, mothers were in tremendous  pain, office going professionals were dealing with major health issues, children less than 15 year of age coming with harsh back and neck pain  an elderly man from a remote village,  resigned to a spinal operation because no one had told him how to care for his posture.

They knew that the medical system, as it stood, was failing these people. While surgeries could repair damage, no one was addressing the root causes of these injuries. “Why should it get to this point?. If only someone had stepped in earlier, they wouldn’t be here now, waiting for surgery.”

One day, after seeing yet another woman prepare for an invasive surgery that could have been prevented with proper guidance, three of the founders sat in silence. “How many more will go through this? We can’t just sit by and watch,” we whispered. That night, they made a decision that would change not only their lives but the lives of countless others—they would step outside the hospital walls and into the community.

And so, Aligncare was born—not just as a medical initiative, but as a social movement. Three of the founders didn’t want to simply treat patients; they wanted to empower them. They knew that the real change would come not from performing surgeries, but from reaching people before they ever needed one. They wanted to educate, to guide, to provide the tools that people in cities, towns, and villages could use to prevent pain and injury.

Their first steps were humble. They traveled to rural areas, speaking with village elders, community leaders, and women’s self-help groups. They began organizing free workshops in schools, community centers, and local temples, where they taught basic ergonomics—how to sit properly, how to lift heavy objects without straining, how to stretch muscles that were stiff from years of hard labor. They showed farmers how simple adjustments in posture could save them from debilitating back pain, and they taught students, often hunched over books, how to protect their spines for the future.

Aligncare mission was simple: make preventive healthcare accessible to everyone, especially those who needed it most—the underprivileged, the marginalized, the forgotten. They believed healthcare was a right, not a luxury, and that no one should suffer because they couldn’t afford to see a doctor. They partnered with local NGOs, panchayats, and government bodies to spread awareness, often traveling for days to reach remote villages where healthcare was a distant dream.

Aligncare became more than just an initiative—it became a movement of hope and empowerment. It wasn’t about fancy equipment or advanced technology; it was about education, about giving people the knowledge to take control of their own health. And that, for our founders was the heart of their work.
