What is Physiotherapy and how does it help?
Physiotherapy is a natural, hands-on approach to healing that helps you live pain-free without relying heavily on medication or surgery. At Athletlance, we don't just treat the symptoms; we take the time to find the root cause of your pain—whether it's a pinched nerve, weak muscles, or stiff joints—so you can safely get back to doing what you love.
How long does a typical session last?
A standard session usually lasts between 45 to 60 minutes. We never want you to feel rushed, so this gives us plenty of time to carefully assess your progress, perform hands-on therapy, and guide you through your exercises at a pace that feels right for you.
How often should I have physiotherapy sessions?
Every patient's healing journey is unique. If you are in severe pain, we might suggest daily sessions for the first few days to bring you quick relief. For long-term rehab, 3 times a week is standard. During your first visit, we will sit down with you and design a recovery schedule that fits both your healing needs and your daily life.
Do I need to have an MRI or X-ray report before starting?
Not necessarily. While past scans are always helpful, our senior physiotherapists are trained to perform a thorough, hands-on assessment during your very first visit. By carefully testing your movement and listening to your symptoms, we can pinpoint the issue and safely begin your treatment right away.
Can I directly reach out to you without a doctor's referral?
Yes, absolutely. You can come directly to us whenever you are in pain. If during our assessment we feel your condition requires a surgeon's or neurologist's attention, we will honestly guide you to the right medical specialist to ensure you get the safest care possible.
What if my pain increases after a physiotherapy session?
It is completely normal to feel mild muscle soreness for a day or two after starting a new therapy—very similar to how your body feels after a good workout. However, sharp or worsening pain is never the goal. Our therapists will constantly check in with you during and after sessions to make sure the treatment intensity is comfortable and effective.
How can I book an appointment?
You can call us directly at +91 86866 96816, message us on WhatsApp, or fill out the 'Request Callback' form on our website. We usually schedule assessments within 24 hours so you don't have to wait in pain.
Do you provide Physiotherapy Home Visits in Hyderabad?
Yes! We are specialists in Home Visit Physiotherapy. We cover Miyapur, Kondapur, Kukatpally, Banjara Hills, Jubilee Hills, Gachibowli, Madinaguda, and all surrounding areas of Hyderabad. We bring the clinic to your doorstep so you can heal in the comfort of your own home.
What are your clinic locations in Hyderabad?
We have three main hubs: Our Main Clinic is in Miyapur (near the Metro Station), our second clinic is in Beeramguda (Patelguda road), and our third facility is in Banjara Hills (MLA Colony). You can choose to visit us, or we can easily come to you.
Is home physiotherapy as effective as clinic-based treatment?
Yes, absolutely. In fact, for seniors, stroke patients, or those recovering from surgery, healing in the comfort and safety of your own home is often the best choice. Our therapists bring portable, clinic-grade equipment right to your doorstep, ensuring you receive the exact same high-quality care without the stress of traveling.
Are female physiotherapists available for home visits?
Absolutely. We understand the importance of comfort and privacy. We have highly experienced female physiotherapists available for home visits, specifically for women's health issues, pregnancy/postnatal care, and general physiotherapy needs.
What equipment do I need for home physiotherapy?
You don't need to worry about buying expensive equipment. Our visiting therapists bring the necessary medical devices (like IFT and Ultrasound) right to you. All we usually need is a firm bed or a yoga mat, and a little space to move. As you progress, if simple items like a resistance band would help your recovery, we will gently guide you on what you need.
What conditions do you treat at Athletlance?
We treat a wide range of conditions including Back Pain (Sciatica/Slip Disc), Neck Pain (Cervical Spondylosis), Frozen Shoulder, Knee Osteoarthritis, Sports Injuries (ACL/Ligament tears), Stroke/Paralysis recovery, and Post-Surgical rehabilitation (TKR/THR).
What is Manual Therapy?
Manual therapy is a highly specialized, hands-on treatment where our therapists gently move your joints and massage soft tissues to relieve tension. Sometimes, exercises alone aren't enough—manual therapy helps 'unlock' stiff areas, reduce immediate pain, and allow your body to move freely again.
Can physiotherapy help me avoid surgery?
In many cases, yes. For conditions like Slip Disc, Sciatica, or early-stage Knee Osteoarthritis, targeted physiotherapy can strengthen your supporting muscles and naturally reduce inflammation, often helping you heal well enough to avoid surgical intervention entirely.
Do you provide specialized Stroke and Paralysis rehabilitation?
Yes. Helping patients recover from neurological conditions like stroke is a dedicated focus for our team. We use gentle, proven techniques (like NDT and PNF) to help stroke survivors regain their mobility, rebuild their balance, and safely return to their daily lives.
Do you treat sports injuries like ACL or Meniscus tears?
Absolutely. We provide advanced sports physiotherapy for athletes in Hyderabad. Whether you have an ACL tear, Ankle sprain, or Tennis Elbow, we follow safe, athlete-specific protocols to ensure you can confidently return to your sport without fear of re-injury.
How soon after orthopedic surgery should I start physiotherapy?
In most cases, gentle movement begins within 24 to 48 hours after surgery while you are still in the hospital. Once you are discharged, we can immediately begin home visits, strictly following your surgeon's safety protocols to ensure a smooth, confident recovery for joint replacements (TKR/THR).
Do you provide physiotherapy for senior citizens?
Yes, caring for seniors is a very important part of what we do, and we highly recommend our home visit service for this. We focus heavily on fall prevention, gentle strengthening, and balance training so your older family members can confidently maintain their independence and quality of life.
How much does a physiotherapy session cost in Hyderabad?
We understand that medical expenses can be a concern, especially when navigating a long-term recovery. Generally, our standard sessions range from ₹500 to ₹2500, depending on the treatment and whether it's a home or clinic visit. Because conditions like stroke or post-operative rehab require time and consistency, we offer adjusted pricing for extended care to support your ongoing healing journey. Please reach out to us, and we will gladly work out a care plan that comfortably fits your family's needs.
Do you provide bills for health insurance reimbursement?
Yes, we gladly provide valid clinic receipts that include our registration details and the treating physiotherapist's credentials. Many of our patients use these to successfully claim outpatient (OPD) physiotherapy expenses from their health insurance providers.
