He was born in India
He came to the United States
To practice what he had learned.
He had learned a lot about physical therapy,
He used a lot of what he had learned to help me.
I was lucky, I got Him for my therapist.
He pushed me to my ends. Now, I'm glad he did.
Others had said I wouldn't walk.
Together we proved them wrong.
I couldn't have done it alone.
Thanks for Your help Nandu!
He has also installed a fighting spirit in me
A spirit to overcome every limitation.
Others were jealous that he was my therapist.
I never knew why! Now, I know why!
I'm walking

I'm
sure glad he came from India I'm
sure India wants him back soon,
That will be our loss and India's gain.
Thanks a lot, Nandu for everything.

DR
NANDU CHHABRIA PT. is a Pioneer in the field of Rehabilitation
in India. He graduated from Seth G S Medical College, KEM Hospital,
Bombay-India - 1956 with a Distinction. DR CHHABRIA PT. has a
multi-disciplined academic base, which includes postgraduate training
in the United States, England, West Germany, Australia and New Zealand
amongst many others.
After a distinguished career as a post graduate teacher at the All India
Institute of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, a Government of India
undertaking. He devoted all his time apart from practice, in traveling
and discussing his newer ideas with Scientists abroad. His teachings
are backed by over forty years of successful and distinguished results.
He
has many a presentation overseas and in India. He has had the honour
to have founded POSAT (Physio Occupational Speech Academy of
Therapists), POSAT Foundation India, IAP-MMI (Manipulative
Mobilization India) in collaboration with IFOMT (International Federation
of Orthopedic Manual Therapists), and ANR (Academy of Neuro-Rehab).
He is presently in the process of setting up a master's degree in Physical
Therapy by Research at the Sir H. N Hospital in combined affiliation
with UNIVERSITY OF BOMBAY and the SYDNEY UNIVERSITY - AUSTRALIA.
MSc. research does not exist in India upto date. This will be a
milestone.
He is busy as course director in MANUAL MEDICINE year long, ultimately
leading to a residency programme at the Sir H.N Hospital, He is also
instrumental in initiating the first ever BIO-MECHANICS Laboratory
in collaboration with USA. The whole setup would be part of the
MMCS (Manual Medicine Cortico Subcortical) Unit of Rehab Sciences.
Manual Medicine with the CSR Concept was added to the world of
Manual Medicine to furthur enrich qualitative care, and was introduced
to the world for the first time such dimensions to cover both the Neuro-Ortho
aspects underlying"CSR"principles. of "CSR".
CSR RESULTS – INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE, DUBAI
Cortico sub cortical relay theory to my mind is a dynamic understanding for the future of rehab sciences. It definitely will reduce dysfunction and assist further rehabilitation results. Many courses in India and abroad in various conferences have demonstrated Plasticity. Plasticity is definitely not a neuronal bypass as aimed by the theory of CSR. Future thinking on these lines will alter what has been done in the past supported by far superior results achieved by this theory (CSR). Results will further be convincing with my book on the newer concept. The book will demonstrate the results applied to thousands of patients with various conditions in the past and the future. The basics have already been printed in the book Cortico Subcortical Bypass Theory by Bhalani Publishers. The book was inaugurated by the Head of Chinmaya Mission and was presented at the 5th International Conference on Physiotherapy held during November 27th to the 29th 2017 in Dubai, UAE. It was widely appreciated and accepted by the audience as I personally demonstrated one of the techniques of CBVN Bypass, later followed by invitations from more than half a dozen International conferences. This proved the acceptance and the interest by the delegates internationally. Unlike demonstrated by Sigmund Freud for his theory initially was attended by only 6 candidates in a huge auditorium reserved by him. Interesting to know that today he is an internationally recognized scientist. As of today I hope we all will accept it as soon as possible because results are encouraging - - I promise!!

CORTICO SUBCORTICAL RELAY
21st Century Management: Neuron to Neuronal Network Original Scientific
Research.
By
Dr. Nandu Chhabria
Director Rehab Science,
Sir H.N.Hospital, Mumbai – 400 004.
Definition ::
Human development and movement. The result of Timely Integrated
CORTICAL SUBCORTICAL RELAY.
“CSR†disruption during growth causes mal-development or trauma
and neural insults resulting into movement disorders.
CSR emphasizes the importance of :
1) Neuron to Neuron Network Utilization in Therapeutics.
2) White matter focus over grey matter understanding presently ignored.
3) Activation of dormant pathways, although, has a higher threshold,
responds better with accurate CSR stimulus.
4) Achieving (aiming at) maximal normal function with spare percentage
of neurology available, not possible with conventional programs.
5) Neurophysiology Analysis vis-Ã -vis blindly following treatment
techniques and symptomatic evaluation.
6) Creating and activating parallel pathways abundantly available but
not yet explored.
7) Evaluation of Brain-Body Integration for non-neurological cases, in
orthopaedic or other problems.
Human Brain is a treasure of powerful hidden potentials. Parallel
Networks and Unknown Mind-Body Linkage. Therapists who understands and
activates along these lines will lead the world in Rehab Science and
Human Alleviation of Dysfunction.
Post-graduate students now also doing their research projects for
master’s.
Regular courses will be soon started under MMCS(manipulative
mobilisation cortico subcortical). Visualizing the same under
“Chhabria Foundation Rehab Sciencesâ€.
Others will have a future shock!
India’s contribution to the world.

Dear Nandu,
I have done much thinking since that evening when we had dinner and
talked together as threesome. I will be seeing the publishers in London
at the end of June and have decided that my aim will be to publish 1
book which will consists of three aspects, you so clearly outlined. I
feel sure that Butter worth’s will agree.
You are obviously a very perceptive individual and there were many
comments which you made, which I found very interesting, for eg., the
relationship between arts and science. I am trying to put some thoughts
on paper and I wonder whether you would be able to help me.
I plan to have an introductory type chapter in which I want to get
across what the total concept of examination, interpretation, assessment
and techniques is. I wonder whether if it would be possible for you to
write giving me what you felt were the salient parts of the concepts as
you saw them? I would be very grateful for this help because I feel your
judgement is extremely good.
I am so glad we did have the opportunity to get together in Adelaide.
With my very best wishes,
G.D. MAITLAND
In recognition of your untiring efforts to achieve the highest standards

Invitation from the conference of Novel physiotherapies by the organising commitee represented by Alexander Lee.
Accepted the same and read the paper with demonstration at the fifth international conference held during 27-29 November 2017 in Dubai UAE
Glad to say that it was very well accepted. Our research on NEURONAL BYPASS
There was a follow up invitation in Europe and states immediately most important my book on Cortical Subcortical Relay- Therpeutic Bypass Management in clinical practice published by Bhalani publishers (Book launching at the conference)
The book is now available and marketed by the publisher at info@bhalani.com. The book will project ideas not available otherwise in a book form. Very important to keep it as a reference by rehabilitation (For pathways demonstrating CSR and for original diagrams).
