Who comes to your door

A home visit means letting someone into the house, so it is worth knowing who comes.

Lifeline Health Care is a home-visit physiotherapy service based in Sector 43, Gurugram. There is no clinic. The treatment travels to the patient instead of the patient travelling to it.

What happens at a home visit

The equipment in the photographs on this page is what comes to the house. The rest of this is what home physiotherapy generally involves.

What comes into the room

  • A portable folding treatment table

    It arrives folded and is opened in the room the patient is already in.

  • An electrotherapy unit

    A small machine with pads and leads that are placed on the skin.

Both of those are visible in the photographs on this page.

  1. What the room needs

    Generally — this is home physiotherapy in general, not a description of any particular visit — the work is done on a firm surface with enough room to stand on one side of it. A bed is often enough, and nothing needs to be bought or installed. If the room is small or awkward, mention it beforehand and it can be planned around.

  2. Arranging the first visit

    Send a message with the patient's condition and your area. You will get an answer on whether a visit is possible, what it costs, and when it can happen — in a chat rather than a phone call you have to schedule.

After a knee replacement

Knee replacement is the operation this service names in its own description of the work, and it is the one a reviewer writes about.

One reviewer credits the service with restoring mobility after knee replacement surgery.

Treatment happens at the patient's home rather than in a clinic. If getting down the stairs is currently the hard part, that is the whole of what this service changes.

If something about the knee worries you – spreading swelling, heat, calf pain, fever – call the surgeon or the hospital. That is not a physiotherapy question.

Arranging this for a parent

You are probably the one arranging this, and you probably will not be in the room when it happens.

Reviewers describe care for a parent.

Everything you will want settled first can go in one message: who will come, whether they visit your parent's area, what a visit costs, and how long the treatment is likely to run.

Ask all of it at once. Anyone arranging care for a parent does, and it is expected.

Questions worth asking

Any of these can be asked on WhatsApp before you agree to anything.

  1. Which areas do you visit?

    Lifeline Health Care works out of Sector 43, Gurugram, near Vyapar Kendra Road, and treats patients in their own homes rather than at a clinic.

    Send us your sector on WhatsApp and you will get a straight yes or no before you plan anything around it.

  2. What does a visit cost, and how many visits will it take?

    Message us on WhatsApp for today's rate, for a single visit or for a course of them. You get the answer in a chat rather than a phone call you have to schedule.

    How many visits a course runs to depends on the condition, the operation if there was one, and how the patient responds to treatment — which is why it is worth raising at the first visit rather than before it.

  3. Who will actually come to the house?

    A physiotherapist comes to you, with the equipment for the session. Across 33 Google reviews one name recurs: Dr Madhukar, and those reviews describe post-operative and mobility rehabilitation carried out at home.

    If it matters who attends, or which languages they speak, ask before the first visit and you will know.

  4. Is this real physiotherapy, or is it a massage?

    Look at the equipment. A portable folding treatment table and an electrotherapy unit both come to the house — you can see both in the photographs on this page.

    Physiotherapy is treatment by movement, exercise and hands-on technique, chosen around what the patient can currently do and changed as that changes. What a session would involve in your case is worth asking about before the first one.

  5. Is this only for people who have had an operation?

    No. Lifeline Health Care treats three things at home: physiotherapy after an operation, with knee replacement as its own example; sports injuries; and chronic pain, meaning pain that has gone on a long time. All of it happens at the patient's home rather than in a clinic.

    If what you need help with is something else, the treatments page is the place to start, and one message will tell you whether it is something this service takes on.

  6. Do I need to clear a room, or buy anything?

    No, and nothing needs to be bought or installed. The treatment table arrives folded and is opened in the room the patient is already in.

    Generally — this is physiotherapy at home in general, not a description of any particular visit — the work is done on a firm surface with enough room to stand on one side of it, and a bed is often enough. If your room is small or awkward, mention it beforehand and it can be planned around.

  7. Is there a clinic I can go to instead?

    No — and for most of the people who call, that is the point. This is a home-visit service: the treatment travels to the patient, so nobody has to get into a car after an operation or walk into a waiting room in pain. The Sector 43 address is where the business is registered, not somewhere to travel to.

    If a clinic is genuinely what you need, this is not the right service, and it is better to know that now than at the door.
