What this clinicis actually for.
Physiotherapy is where recovery actually happens - the weeks after the surgery, the fracture or the stroke, when getting movement and strength back depends on doing the right exercises, correctly, every day. It also treats a great deal of ordinary pain: the back that aches from a desk, the knee that has stiffened, the shoulder that won't lift. The honest truth of the department is that the results come from the patient's own effort, guided well - which is why the exercises you are given matter more than the time on the machine.

When to wait,and when not to.
Come in straight away if
Don't book an appointment for these. Come to emergency, or call +91 9100005195.
- New numbness, weakness or loss of bladder control with back pain - see a doctor, not just physio
- Severe pain after a fall before any injury has been ruled out on X-ray
- A joint that is hot, swollen and intensely painful
- Chest pain or breathlessness brought on by the exercises
- Pain that is getting sharply worse rather than easing with treatment
Lowering the risk
What actually makes a difference, not folklore.
- Keep moving - most joint and back pain worsens with inactivity, not activity
- Build strength in the muscles around a vulnerable joint before it gives trouble
- Set up desk, chair and phone use to keep the neck and back neutral
- Warm up before sport and progress training gradually
- For older people, regular balance work genuinely prevents falls and fractures
Looking after yourself
Alongside treatment - never instead of it.
- Do the home exercises daily - recovery follows the exercises, not the appointments
- A little discomfort during exercise is normal; sharp or lasting pain is not - report it
- Be patient and consistent; strength and movement return over weeks, not days
- Use ice for a fresh flare and heat for stiff, chronic tightness, as advised
- Don't rush back to full activity before you are cleared - re-injury sets you back further
