Dr Rajat Chauhan is a Sports - Exercise Medicine and Musculoskeletal Physician, who first practices before preaching. He is an ultra runner and has done over 100 official or unofficial marathons (42.195 km). He is the founder of the Back 2 Fitness chain of clinic that focus on getting people back to fitness and helping them to perform to their optimum levels, that could mean helping get someone out of pain (back, neck, knee, shoulder, RSI etc) or make them fitter if they don't yet have these issues but could in the near future because of sedentary lifestyle. He believes India has the largest unfit workforce and it is high time we changed that if we are to keep up with China and other close competitors. The employees are a lot more productive if they are fitter, and not only disease free, which is all that seems to be addressed currently. He would be happy to give talks and organize workshops at your office. Previously, he headed and helped set-up the Sports Medicine department at Manipal Hospital, Bangalore. Prior to that he was in London, where one of his assignments was to be Musculoskeletal Medicine external consultant to Westminster PCT, National Health Trust , UK.
