Physiotherapy at Clinic
Is A Physician's Prescription Needed?
No, it is not mandatory to get the physio treatment prescribed by the doctor. In some cases, the doctor prescribes
physiotherapy to the patient which is good but we also make sure that our physio makes the assessment of the
patient which helps him/her
to diagnose the issue and accordingly start the treatment. Our practice is to give the
safest and best possible patient-centric care.
Is Treatment At The Clinic Better Than Home Care?
In some cases, when a patient’s mobility is an issue, there is no option but to take physiotherapy at home. In other
cases, It depends on the choice of a patient whether he wants the treatment to be done at home or clinic. But in
some cases, treatment
requires a different type of equipment which can be available only at the clinic for which it
is better for patients to visit the clinic
for better results. Apart from this, a senior physio is also available at the clinic
who can keep an eye on the undergoing treatment. But
if a patient wants treatment to be done at their home &
treatment requires only manual therapy or portable instruments, we can provide home
care physiotherapy. Normally
for long-term treatments, if you are not sure whether you can visit the clinic regularly, you should opt for a
home care
service.

How Long Is A Typical Physiotherapy Session At A Clinic?
Most sessions last between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your condition and the therapist's recommendation.
Physiotherapy at Home
When To Take Home Physiotherapy Service?
It depends on the patient's condition and convenience. In some cases, it is the only viable option for the patient e.g. A
post-stroke patient having a balance-related issue or paralysis, in such cases, it is better to take physiotherapy at home
but if the issue is
mild and you can visit a nearby clinic without skipping the sessions then there is no harm to visit a
clinic. Also, for patients having time
constraints, physiotherapy at home service can be a time-saving option.
What Is The Duration Of Each Session?
Usually, the session is for 30-45 minutes, however, the session duration can be increased up to 1 hour or 90 minutes
in case
the treatment is needed for longer durations. The session duration is generally increased in a few cases where
a patient is having severe/multiple
issues. Our expert can set the session duration after the assessment of the patient
is done. Please note that standard charges mentioned on our
website are for 30-45 min sessions. For longer duration
sessions, charges will be higher.
How Many Sessions & At What Frequency Are Needed?

If the issue is mild then our expert may suggest you take a few sessions likewise in some critical cases (neuro-related,
Post-surgery, Elderly care, etc.) the sessions are usually for a longer period of time, and our physiotherapist will discuss
the treatment plan with you. This may include advice regarding the approximate number of sessions you may require.
Our Expert will also discuss the frequency of the session. A patient can take treatment sessions on a daily basis or on
an alternate basis if skipping sessions in between doesn’t harm the treatment process.
