Do I need a doctor's referral for physiotherapy?
No. You can come to us directly. If a doctor or surgeon is already treating you, bring their prescription, discharge summary and any scans — we will follow their protocol and stay in touch with them.
What happens on the first visit?
A full assessment: your history, the movements that hurt, strength and range testing, and a look at any imaging you have. You leave knowing what the problem is, what the treatment plan is and roughly how many sessions it should take. Treatment usually starts the same visit.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on the condition. A simple back or neck episode is often 6–10 sessions; post-surgical and neurological rehabilitation runs for weeks to months with review points along the way. You are told the plan up front and it is revised as you improve, not extended indefinitely.
Do you have in-patient (residential) rehabilitation?
Yes. We have residential rehabilitation beds at the clinic for patients who need daily supervised therapy — typically after a stroke, a major surgery or a serious injury — where travelling in twice a week is not practical.
Do you offer home physiotherapy?
Yes. Home visits are available for patients who cannot travel — bed-bound patients, post-operative cases and elderly patients. Call us to check availability in your area of Nagpur.
Do you treat children?
Yes. Paediatric physiotherapy is one of our specialities: developmental delay, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, autism-related motor difficulties and post-fracture recovery in children. Parents are always taught what to practise at home.
What should I wear and bring?
Loose, comfortable clothing you can move in — shorts for a knee problem, a vest or loose t-shirt for a shoulder or back problem. Bring any X-rays, MRI films, reports and the medicines you are on.
What are your timings?
Monday to Saturday, 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM and 5:00 PM – 9:30 PM. Sunday, 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM.
