Physiotherapy at Home, 45 Minutes

Details

The same forty five minute one to one session, brought to your home, for people who genuinely cannot travel yet: the weeks after a hip or knee replacement, after a stroke, while a fracture is still healing, or for an elderly patient for whom the journey is the hardest part of the day. The arithmetic, plainly, because nobody prints it. This costs Rs. 800 against Rs. 500 in the clinic. That is Rs. 300 more for the same forty five minutes, and it buys you LESS equipment, because what arrives is what one person can carry. It is worth paying while travel is genuinely unsafe or impossible, and it stops being worth paying the moment it is not. You will be told when that moment arrives, and the recommendation to switch costs us Rs. 300 a session every time it is made. The room is part of the treatment. Bed height, bathroom, doorway widths, floor surfaces and where the light switches are all decide whether the exercise you did this morning survives the afternoon. The therapist looks at all of it and says what to change, which is usually free and usually more useful than the session. One family member is taught how to help with transfers safely. Most of the injuries around a recovering patient happen to the person lifting them, and an attendant guessing is how a wife ends up with a back injury of her own. No arrival time is promised. You are told the day and a broad part of the day and nothing narrower, because no visit has ever run from here and a promise with no history behind it is a guess wearing a suit. Vitals Clinic at A.P. Colony is not open. There is no practitioner in post, no premises registration and no appointment book, and this page does not pretend otherwise. What is written here is the specification: the qualification the role requires, the register the person must appear on, and the licence the premises must hold. Booking opens when those exist, and not before.

• 45 minutes at your bedside, one therapist to one patient. First visit 60 minutes including assessment and the home check
• Travel within 8 km of A.P. Colony, Gaya included in the price. Beyond that Rs. 20 a kilometre each way, quoted before you confirm
• Bed height, bathroom, doorways and floor safety assessed and advised on as part of the session
• One attendant taught safe transfer and support technique, so nobody is guessing
• Told when clinic sessions at Rs. 500 become the better option, even though it costs us the difference
• A female therapist where requested, said at booking rather than discovered at the door
• No arrival time is promised. A day and a broad part of the day, and that is the honest limit
