Clinic-quality physiotherapy, delivered to your door
Some patients should not be travelling to a clinic. Fresh out of surgery, recovering from a stroke, in their eighties, or simply in too much pain to sit on a two-wheeler through Ahmedabad traffic. For them, Physio Buddy brings the physiotherapist home. Home visits are led by Dr. Maitri Kothari, BPT, MPT (Musculoskeletal and Sports), the same physiotherapist behind more than 2,000 recoveries and a 4.9-star rating across 450+ Google reviews.
Who home physiotherapy suits best
- Post-surgical patients. The first weeks after a knee replacement, hip replacement, spine or fracture surgery are exactly when travel is hardest and rehab matters most. See our full post-surgical rehabilitation service.
- Elderly parents. Balance training, strength work, arthritis care and fall prevention without the strain of getting an ageing parent in and out of vehicles. Many bookings are made by sons and daughters, sometimes from another city.
- Stroke and neurological rehabilitation. Regular, consistent sessions at home are often the most practical route for paralysis and stroke recovery, and home is where the relearned skills actually need to work.
- People in too much pain to travel. An acute back episode or severe sciatica can make the car ride the worst part of the day.
- Busy professionals. Desk workers in GIFT City and Infocity who cannot leave during clinic hours often choose home sessions instead of skipping rehab altogether.
Areas we cover, honestly framed
Physio Buddy operates from one clinic in Chandkheda, behind Satyamev Hospital, and home visits radiate out from there. Chandkheda itself, New CG Road, Visat, Zundal and Sabarmati are closest. Motera and the stadium belt are minutes away, and Gandhinagar, including GIFT City and Infocity, is a comfortable drive up the highway. Farther corners of Ahmedabad are considered case by case, because travel time is time taken from patients. If your location makes regular visits impractical, we will say so honestly and suggest a virtual consultation or a good clinic nearer to you instead.
How a home visit works
- Message us on WhatsApp at +91 78619 29326 with your location, the problem and any recent reports or discharge papers.
- We confirm feasibility and fees upfront. Home visits cost more than clinic sessions because of travel, and the exact quote reaches you before anything is booked.
- First visit: full assessment. History, movement examination, a look at the home environment itself, including stairs, bathroom access and bed height, and a written plan.
- Treatment sessions on a schedule. Hands-on treatment, guided exercise and progress tracking, with family members welcome to sit in and learn how to help between sessions.
- Progress reviews. Goals are rechecked regularly, and when travelling becomes easy again, many patients shift to the clinic for the later, equipment-heavier stages of rehab.
What to prepare at home
- A firm bed or a floor mat to work on
- A sturdy chair with armrests
- A few metres of clear walking space
- Loose, comfortable clothing
- Reports, prescriptions and the discharge summary ready for the first visit
- A family member present for the first session if the patient is elderly or recovering from a stroke
Everything clinical travels with the physiotherapist. If your plan calls for anything specific at home, it is discussed when you book, so there are no surprises at the door.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which areas do you cover for home visit physiotherapy?
Chandkheda, New CG Road, Visat, Zundal, Sabarmati, Motera and Gandhinagar, including GIFT City and Infocity. Locations farther out are considered case by case, and if regular visits to your area are not practical, we will tell you honestly rather than overpromise.
How much does a home visit cost in Ahmedabad?
More than a clinic session, because travel time is built into the fee. Clinic sessions in Ahmedabad typically run Rs 300 to Rs 800, and your exact home visit quote is shared on WhatsApp at +91 78619 29326 before you book, based on your location and the care needed.
Do you bring equipment for home sessions?
Everything clinical comes with the physiotherapist. From your side, a firm bed or mat, a sturdy chair and some clear walking space cover most programmes. If your plan needs anything specific, you will hear about it at booking, not on the doorstep.
How quickly can a home visit be arranged?
Message us on WhatsApp with your location and situation, and you will be offered the earliest slot the schedule allows. Mentioning a fresh hospital discharge helps us plan the route sensibly.
Is physiotherapy at home as effective as at the clinic?
For the patients it suits, yes, and sometimes more so, because exercises are taught in the exact rooms where you need to use them. Later-stage rehab that needs heavier equipment is often better at the clinic, and many patients move from home visits to clinic sessions as they improve.
My mother cannot stand for long. Can she still be treated?
Yes. Programmes are built around what the patient can do today, including bed-based and chair-based work, and progress from there. A family member is welcome to sit in and learn how to support her between sessions.
Do you do home visits for stroke patients?
Yes. Neurological rehabilitation at home is one of the most common reasons families call us, and Dr. Maitri holds advanced certification in neurological physiotherapy. See our stroke rehabilitation page for what recovery involves.
