Physiotherapy FAQs — Common Questions About Our Treatments

Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession that restores, maintains, and maximises physical strength, function, and movement using evidence-based, drug-free techniques. You may benefit from physiotherapy if you have acute or chronic pain, are recovering from surgery or injury, managing conditions like arthritis, stroke, or Parkinson's disease, experiencing mobility limitations, or looking to prevent future injuries.

No referral is needed. You can book directly at PhysioNutra Clinic for an initial assessment. If you have recent X-rays, MRI reports, or a doctor’s letter, please bring them along — they help guide a more targeted assessment and treatment plan.

Each session typically lasts 45–60 minutes. The initial assessment session may run slightly longer (60–75 minutes) as it includes a full postural and functional evaluation, diagnosis discussion, and treatment planning.

Some manual therapy techniques or therapeutic exercises may cause temporary discomfort as movement is restored. Your physiotherapist always works within your pain tolerance and adapts the treatment based on your response. Mild muscle soreness after exercise sessions is normal — similar to a good workout. Our goal is to relieve pain, not cause it.

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the affected area and free movement. Shorts or loose trousers for lower limb and back treatments; a t-shirt or vest for shoulder, neck, and upper back sessions. Comfortable athletic wear is ideal. Gowns are available at the clinic if required.

Physiotherapy sessions at PhysioNutra Clinic range from ₹700 to ₹1,500 per session depending on the condition and treatment required.

Session numbers depend on your condition and its severity. Acute conditions generally require 5–8 sessions, while chronic conditions may need 10–15 sessions or more. Post-surgical rehabilitation programmes (e.g. ACL reconstruction) typically run 6–9 months. Your physiotherapist will outline a recommended timeline after the initial assessment, focused on the shortest path to lasting recovery.

Most health insurance policies in India cover physiotherapy treatments when part of a prescribed treatment plan. PhysioNutra Clinic provides detailed invoices and medical reports for reimbursement claims. Please check with your insurance provider regarding your specific coverage and the claims process. Corporate and group health plans typically cover physiotherapy.
