About Dr. Bala

A pioneer of non-surgical orthopaedic care in India

Dr. K. Bala Kumaran is an internationally certified expert in advanced orthopaedic manual therapy, with over 24 years of clinical experience across Australia, the USA and India. He has also studied and trained in Brazil, Canada and Europe, enriching his practice with a truly global perspective.

He is a registered practitioner of both the McConnell and Mulligan techniques, and a pioneer of non-surgical orthopaedic care in India. In 2006, after a successful global career, he founded Krishna Health Centre to bring world-class, hands-on healing to those suffering from chronic joint, back and neck pain.

As the creator of 4M-Ortho Therapy, Dr. Bala offers a breakthrough, non-surgical approach for people who haven't found relief through conventional methods. His technique precisely targets the root cause of pain through manual therapy — avoiding general anaesthesia and promoting long-term recovery, even for complex spine issues.

Patients trust him for compassionate care, accurate diagnosis and transformative outcomes. Many who had nearly given up now live pain-free, active lives.

Our specialities

The manual-therapy methods behind 4M

We blend science with skilled, hands-on technique — integrating globally respected approaches designed to relieve pain, restore mobility and improve function when conventional treatment falls short.

Mulligan Concept

Developed by Brian Mulligan (New Zealand): manual correction of joint alignment using gentle, pain-free "mobilisation with movement" that restores function and reduces pain immediately — without forceful manipulation.

McConnell Approach

Designed by Jenny McConnell (Australia): addresses how posture and movement imbalances contribute to pain, using specialised taping to offload soft tissue for instant relief and better muscle activation.

McKenzie Method

A globally recognised system of assessment and movement-based treatment for spine and joint pain, centralising symptoms and empowering long-term self-management.

Maitland Concept

Graded, precise joint mobilisation that carefully assesses and treats movement restrictions — a cornerstone of evidence-based manual therapy.
