How can we help you?

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.

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.

Because every body heals differently, there is no one-size-fits-all answer. Some minor strains feel better in just 2 to 3 sessions, while post-surgery rehab or stroke recovery takes several weeks of consistent care. After your first assessment, we will give you a clear, honest timeline of what to expect for your specific journey.

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.

We recommend wearing loose, comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely, like athletic wear or shorts and a t-shirt. This helps our therapists easily assess your movement and access the area we need to treat while ensuring you stay completely comfortable.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Your health and safety are our top priorities. Our therapists follow strict clinical hygiene protocols, including sanitizing their hands and all portable equipment before and after every single home visit. We want you to feel completely safe and relaxed during your treatment.

Yes, we do. If you live outside our coverage area or simply prefer virtual guidance, we offer comprehensive Telehealth consultations. Through a secure video call, our therapists can analyze your posture, diagnose movement issues, and guide you step-by-step through a customized exercise program to relieve your pain.

Our visiting physiotherapists bring portable equipment including resistance bands and balance pads. For long-term care, we advise on essential home safety aids like grab bars and non-slip mats.

Yes. Athletlance has experienced female physiotherapists who provide private home visits for women's health conditions including Diastasis Recti, pelvic floor dysfunction, and postpartum recovery.

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).

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.

Yes, our team is trained in several advanced, evidence-based techniques. Depending on what your body needs to heal fastest, we may incorporate therapies like Dry Needling, Kinesio Taping, or Myofascial Release into your sessions to quickly reduce muscle knots and improve blood flow.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

Yes, we provide gentle, play-based therapy for infants and children facing developmental delays, cerebral palsy, posture issues, or post-fracture stiffness. We also work closely with parents, teaching you safe ways to support your child's physical development at home.

Our female therapists provide discreet, specialized care for women navigating pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and pelvic floor issues. We can safely help you manage back pain during pregnancy, heal abdominal separation (Diastasis Recti), and regain core strength after delivery in the privacy of your home.

Chest physiotherapy utilizes Active Cycle of Breathing Techniques (ACBT), gentle postural drainage, and thoracic expansion exercises to loosen retained mucus secretions, expand lung capacity, and reduce shortness of breath.

Yes. TMJ physiotherapy uses intra-oral pterygoid myofascial release, masseter trigger point decompression, and manual joint distraction to realign the jaw disc and eliminate clicking, pain, and headaches.

We use evidence-based Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE), Graded Motor Imagery, and nervous system pacing to desensitize hyperactive pain pathways without triggering symptom flare-ups.

Fracture rehabilitation should begin immediately (within 24-48 hours) after cast removal or surgical clearance to reverse joint stiffness, reduce edema, and restore full muscle strength.

Our certified vestibular physiotherapists perform the Dix-Hallpike diagnostic test and apply the Epley canalith repositioning maneuver, which cures over 85-90% of BPPV cases in just 1 to 2 sessions without medication.

Neuro-Developmental Treatment (NDT) is a hands-on clinical therapy designed to retrain the brain to control muscles and restore normal movement patterns after a neurological injury.

Physiotherapy should start within 24 to 48 hours of medical stabilization, even in the hospital, to prevent muscle wasting and joint stiffness.

In the acute phase, daily sessions (5-6 days a week) are highly recommended to maximize neuroplasticity, which can transition to 3 sessions a week as the patient regains independence.

Sciatica is caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve, most commonly due to a bulging or herniated disc (slip disc) in the lumbar spine.

Most patients experience significant pain relief within 3 to 5 sessions, with complete functional recovery and core strengthening completed within 10 to 12 sessions.

Dry needling involves inserting thin needles into tight muscle trigger points. It is not painful, though patients may feel a mild 'twitch response' that brings immediate muscle relaxation.

Partial ACL tears and some full tears in non-athletes can be managed non-surgically using advanced sports physiotherapy to strengthen the surrounding quadriceps and hamstrings.

A complete return to competitive cutting and contact sports typically takes 6 to 9 months of structured rehabilitation to ensure the ligament graft is fully mature.

LSI is a clinical measurement comparing the muscle strength and hop distance of the injured limb to the healthy limb. It must be above 90% before returning to sports.

The stretching required to break down scar tissue can cause mild discomfort, but our therapists always work within your tolerance limit to ensure safe progress.

Yes, people with diabetes are up to 5 times more likely to develop a frozen shoulder. Managing your blood sugar levels alongside physiotherapy is crucial for a full recovery.

Frequent micro-breaks (every 30 min), monitor at eye level, and chin-tucks performed throughout the day are the most effective ways to relieve desk-related neck pain without medication.

Yes. Our physiotherapists provide on-site workstation ergonomic audits for IT companies in Hyderabad's tech hubs like Hitech City and Kondapur to prevent repetitive strain injuries.

Physiotherapy should ideally begin within 24 hours of surgery, even in the hospital bed, to prevent stiffness and blood clots. Home visits should continue from the day of discharge.

Yes, mild warmth and swelling are normal for the first 4 to 6 weeks after TKR as the body heals. Regular ice packs and elevation help manage this, which our home-visit therapist will guide you through.

Absolutely. The brain retains neuroplasticity throughout life. Balance-specific exercises like single-leg stands, Frenkel's exercises, and Tai-Chi movements measurably improve stability even in patients over 80.

Diastasis Recti is the separation of the rectus abdominis (six-pack) muscles along the linea alba, commonly occurring during and after pregnancy due to uterine expansion.

Yes. The vast majority of Diastasis Recti cases heal completely with structured physiotherapy focused on transversus abdominis and pelvic floor activation, avoiding exercises that increase intra-abdominal pressure.

Home physiotherapy should begin on the day of hospital discharge, typically 3 to 5 days post-surgery. Early mobilization prevents hip stiffness and reduces the risk of dislocation.

A functional goal of 110°-120° knee flexion allows patients to sit on a chair, climb stairs, and get into vehicles comfortably. Physiotherapy within 24 hours of surgery is the key to achieving this.

Home visits eliminate painful travel in a car, reduce fall risk on clinic stairs, ensure the knee rests in a spine-neutral position post-therapy, and allow therapy in the patient's actual living environment.

Most Bell's Palsy patients see significant facial movement recovery within 3 to 6 weeks with physiotherapy. Complete recovery is achieved in approximately 3 months for Grade I-III severity.

Yes. Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) at appropriate parameters is a clinically proven, safe, and painless technique that reactivates dormant facial nerve pathways in Bell's Palsy.

Chest physiotherapy starts in the ICU within 24 hours of CABG. Home-based Phase II cardiac rehabilitation begins on hospital discharge, typically day 5 to 7 post-surgery.

Yes. Over 80% of rotator cuff tendinopathy cases resolve completely with physiotherapy using eccentric loading, manual therapy, and scapular stabilization exercises without surgical intervention.

Yes. For mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis, physiotherapy using quadriceps strengthening, manual joint mobilization, and gait correction can significantly reduce pain and delay or avoid the need for knee replacement surgery.

Low-impact exercises like straight leg raises, seated knee extensions, swimming, and cycling are most effective. Avoid high-impact activities like running on hard surfaces which increase joint stress.

Most patients with mild-moderate knee OA see significant pain reduction within 8-12 sessions. A maintenance program of 2-3 sessions per month is recommended for long-term joint health.

Cervical spondylosis is degenerative wear-and-tear of the cervical spine discs and vertebrae, causing chronic stiffness. A neck sprain is an acute soft-tissue injury from sudden force. Both respond well to physiotherapy but require different treatment protocols.

Yes. When cervical disc degeneration compresses nerve roots (cervical radiculopathy), it can cause tingling, numbness, and weakness radiating from the neck down into the arms, hands, and fingers.

Short-term (48-72 hours) collar use can reduce acute pain, but prolonged use weakens the neck muscles. Physiotherapy-guided deep neck flexor strengthening and postural correction are far more effective for long-term cervical spondylosis management.

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles and ligaments forming the base of the pelvis. They support the bladder, bowel, and uterus. Weakness or tightness causes leakage, prolapse, or pelvic pain — all of which physiotherapy can treat effectively.

Common signs include leaking urine when coughing, sneezing, or laughing (stress incontinence), urgency to urinate, reduced sensation during intercourse, and pelvic heaviness or pressure — particularly after childbirth.

Kegels work for pelvic floor underactivity (weakness), but 30% of women actually have a hypertonic (too tight) pelvic floor where Kegels worsen symptoms. A physiotherapy assessment is essential before starting any pelvic floor exercise program.

Physiotherapy cannot cure Parkinson's, but regular exercise and gait training have been clinically proven to slow motor decline, improve balance, reduce fall risk, and maintain independence significantly longer.

LSVT BIG (Lee Silverman Voice Treatment) is an intensive, standardized physiotherapy protocol that trains patients with Parkinson's to make larger, more normal-sized movements by recalibrating their internal motor sense.

During early to mid-stage Parkinson's, 3-5 sessions per week are recommended. Regular physiotherapy maintains muscle strength, balance, and coordination, which directly reduces the frequency and severity of falls.

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) occurs when calcium crystals in the inner ear dislodge. The Epley maneuver — a specific head repositioning technique — resolves most BPPV cases in 1-3 sessions with a high success rate.

No. Active vertigo with spinning sensations makes it unsafe to drive. You should seek physiotherapy assessment and treatment before resuming driving. Most BPPV patients can return to normal activities within days of treatment.

Phase II cardiac rehab is a structured, medically supervised exercise and education program that begins after hospital discharge. It includes progressive aerobic conditioning, breathing exercises, and lifestyle counseling to restore heart health safely.

Yes. Home-based Phase II cardiac rehabilitation is clinically proven to be as effective as hospital-based programs when supervised by a certified cardiopulmonary physiotherapist monitoring SpO2 and heart rate throughout each session.

The three main causes are muscle weakness (sarcopenia), poor proprioception (reduced sense of foot position), and medication side effects causing dizziness. All three are directly addressable through targeted physiotherapy.

With consistent balance training 3 times per week, most elderly patients demonstrate measurable improvement in Timed-Up-and-Go (TUG) test scores within 6-8 weeks, indicating significantly reduced fall risk.

Your monitor should be at arm's length (50-70cm) with the top of the screen at or just below eye level. This keeps the cervical spine in a neutral position and prevents the 'forward head posture' that causes Tech Neck.

Text Neck refers specifically to neck pain from looking down at a phone, while Tech Neck broadly includes neck strain from any screen — phone, laptop, or desktop. Both cause the same forward-head posture strain and are treated identically by physiotherapy.

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.

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.
