Some recoveries cannot be done in two visits a week. After a stroke, a spinal injury or major surgery, the difference between regaining function and plateauing is daily, supervised work — and getting a dependent patient across Nagpur every day is often impossible for a family. Our residential rehabilitation ward admits those patients so the therapy happens where they are.

• Daily supervised therapy
• Nursing support
• General physician on site
• Family taught the home programme

Who it is for

Admission is appropriate when the therapy needs to be daily and the patient cannot travel for it.

• Stroke and other neurological recovery in the early months
• After spine surgery, joint replacement or fracture fixation
• Patients who are bed-bound or need help transferring
• Elderly patients recovering from a fall or a long hospital stay
• Out-of-town families who want an intensive block of therapy

What a day looks like

A ward day is structured rather than open-ended, because consistency is what produces the gains.

• Two therapy sessions a day, adjusted to what the patient tolerates
• Positioning, transfers and mobility practice between sessions
• Electrotherapy, manual therapy and exercise as the case requires
• Medical review by the general physician on site
• Progress reviewed weekly with the family, in plain language

Going home

Discharge is planned, not abrupt — the point of admission is to leave the family able to continue.

• A written home programme the family has practised with us
• Advice on walkers, sticks, braces and home modifications
• Follow-up out-patient sessions at the clinic
• Home physiotherapy visits where travelling in is still hard
