Kerala’s Trusted Sports Medicine Clinic
Actymed Healthcare is Kerala’s leading centre for sports medicine — trusted by Olympians, national-level athletes, college players, and active individuals across Idukki, Ernakulam, and Kollam districts. Under the leadership of Dr. Ajeesh T Alex — a BAMS physician with an International Olympic Committee Diploma in Sports Nutrition and advanced training in sports medicine — Actymed delivers a standard of care that was previously unavailable outside major metro cities in Kerala.
What makes Actymed unique is the integration of modern sports medicine science with Ayurveda Marma therapy — a combination that accelerates recovery, prevents re-injury, and optimises athletic performance in ways that neither system achieves alone.

Our Sports Medicine Services
Sports Injury Assessment & Diagnosis
Every athlete begins with a thorough clinical assessment — movement screening, functional testing, palpation, and where needed, imaging review. Dr. Ajeesh provides a clear diagnosis and sets a realistic recovery timeline from the first consultation. No vague diagnoses. No unnecessary investigations.
Sports Rehabilitation
Structured, progressive rehabilitation that begins from day one of treatment. Actymed’s protocols are designed to restore full strength, mobility, and neuromuscular control so athletes return to sport stronger than before their injury.
Return-to-Sport Planning
Dr. Ajeesh uses evidence-based return-to-sport criteria — including strength testing, functional movement assessments, and psychological readiness evaluation — to ensure athletes return at the right time, in the right condition.
Ayurveda Marma Therapy for Sports Recovery
Dr. Ajeesh’s integration of classical Ayurveda Marma therapy into sports rehabilitation accelerates tissue healing, reduces inflammation, and restores neuromuscular coordination. Read more: Ayurveda for sports injury recovery.
Dry Needling for Athletes
Precision dry needling targets myofascial trigger points to rapidly reduce muscle pain, restore muscle length, and improve joint range of motion.
Sports Nutrition Consultation
Personalised sports nutrition guidance integrated directly into the recovery plan — covering protein requirements, anti-inflammatory strategies, hydration protocols, and supplement guidance.
Performance Optimisation
Movement screening, biomechanical analysis, training load management, body composition assessment, and VO2 max and strength testing. Use our free Actymed Athlete Calculators to get started.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral to see Dr. Ajeesh for a sports injury?
No referral is required. You can book directly online or walk in to our Thodupuzha clinic at any time.
How soon after an injury should I come in?
As soon as possible. Early accurate diagnosis is the single most important factor in fast sports injury recovery. Coming in within 24–72 hours of an injury allows Dr. Ajeesh to begin the right treatment immediately.
Can Actymed help if I have already had surgery?
Absolutely. Post-surgical rehabilitation is one of Actymed’s core services. Whether you have had ACL reconstruction, shoulder surgery, or fracture fixation, Dr. Ajeesh will design a structured rehabilitation programme to restore full function and return you to sport safely.
Is sports medicine only for competitive athletes?
Not at all. Anyone who is physically active deserves the same quality of sports injury care as a competitive athlete. At Actymed, we treat every patient with the same thoroughness regardless of their level of sport.

All three locations offer sports medicine. Thodupuzha is open 24 hours. Perumbavoor is open Monday to Saturday 9 AM–5 PM. Kottarakkara is open every Monday 8:30 AM–5 PM.
