Question 1

What is home visit physiotherapy?

Accepted Answer

Home visit physiotherapy is clinical rehabilitation where a qualified, state-registered physiotherapist travels directly to your residence with portable assessment and therapy equipment. It removes the pain and exhaustion of commuting to hospital clinics.

Question 2

How is home physiotherapy different from general massage or home care attendants?

Accepted Answer

Physiotherapy is an evidence-based clinical profession requiring a university degree (BPT or MPT) and state council registration. Physiotherapists evaluate joint biomechanics, neurological reflexes, and muscular deficits, prescribing therapeutic exercise rather than non-clinical massage.

Question 3

Do I need a doctor's prescription for home physiotherapy?

Accepted Answer

While you can directly enquire for an assessment, having a doctor's referral, surgical discharge note, or X-ray/MRI report helps our therapists tailor the rehabilitation precisely to your medical protocol.

Question 4

Who can benefit most from physiotherapy at home?

Accepted Answer

Patients recovering from joint replacement or spine surgery, stroke survivors, elderly individuals with balance difficulties, bedridden patients, and busy professionals with acute back or neck pain benefit significantly.

Question 5

Does the therapist bring their own exercise equipment?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our visiting physiotherapists carry essential portable rehabilitation equipment including resistance bands, balance assessment pads, goniometers, and weight cuffs.

Question 16

Which physiotherapist is best for stroke recovery at home?

Accepted Answer

Stroke rehabilitation requires a therapist with specialized training in neurological physiotherapy. They use techniques like Bobath, motor relearning, and balance facilitation rather than simple massage.

Question 17

How soon after knee or hip replacement should home physiotherapy start?

Accepted Answer

Home therapy typically begins within 24 to 48 hours after hospital discharge, following your orthopaedic surgeon's protocol to control swelling and restore joint bend.

Question 18

Can home physiotherapy help with severe back pain or sciatica?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Following an assessment to rule out red flags, targeted spinal decompression exercises, McKenzie directional preference drills, and core activation relieve nerve irritation.

Question 19

Do you treat bedridden or elderly patients who cannot stand?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We provide passive and active-assisted range of motion, chest physiotherapy for lung clearance, bed mobility, pressure sore prevention, and gradual sitting tolerance.

Question 20

What should I do if pain increases after a therapy session?

Accepted Answer

Mild muscle soreness for 24 hours is a normal adaptation to new exercise. However, sharp joint pain or swelling should be communicated immediately to your therapist so exercise dosage can be adjusted.

How does an online physiotherapy consultation work?

Accepted Answer

Through a secure video call, the physiotherapist takes your clinical history, directs you through physical movement screens to identify pain triggers, demonstrates corrective exercises, and provides a customized routine.

Accepted Answer

For postural neck/back pain, ergonomic correction, mild chronic joint stiffness, and exercise progression, research shows tele-rehab is just as effective as clinic visits.

Accepted Answer

Tele-rehab is not suitable for fresh surgical wound monitoring, acute stroke hemiplegia requiring hands-on fall support, or severe balance disorders requiring physical spotting.

All our clinicians hold recognized degrees (BPT or MPT) from accredited universities and are registered with the Maharashtra State Council for OT & PT.

Question 25

What hygiene protocols are followed during home visits?

Accepted Answer

Therapists sanitize hands before and after patient contact, sanitize portable equipment between visits, and maintain clean clinical attire.

Question 26

What if a medical emergency happens during a session?

Accepted Answer

Our therapists are trained in basic life support and clinical red flag screening. If abnormal vitals, chest pain, or severe distress occur, therapy is stopped immediately and emergency family/hospital contact is initiated.
