A clear, no-surprises walkthrough of your first appointment with us.
If you've never been to a physio before, here's exactly what your first visit will look like — so there are no surprises.
A rushed first visit is how patients end up with vague advice, open-ended session counts, and pain that keeps coming back. At Dadar Physiotherapy Clinic, your first visit is treated as the most important one — it's where we find the actual cause of your pain, not just the spot where it hurts.
That's why every new patient, whether referred by a doctor or walking in on their own, gets a full 45–60 minute slot with a senior, MPT-qualified physiotherapist — never a trainee rotation. You leave with a plain-English diagnosis, a written plan, and an honest estimate of how many sessions you actually need.
If getting to Hindu Colony is difficult — after surgery, for elderly parents, or with severe pain — the same first-visit process is available at your home, anywhere across Dadar, Parsi Colony, Matunga, Mahim, Prabhadevi, Wadala and Lower Parel.
Most people land on this page for one of a few reasons. Wherever you fit, the first visit works the same way.
Never seen a physiotherapist before and not sure what to expect. We walk you through every step before it happens — no surprises.
Your orthopaedic or GP has suggested physiotherapy. Bring their note and your reports; we'll build the plan around their recommendation.
Starting rehab after a knee, hip, spine or shoulder surgery. Your first visit reviews your discharge summary and surgeon's protocol.
Runners, footballers, lifters and weekend athletes dealing with a fresh strain or a nagging overuse injury.
Years of back, neck or joint pain and previous treatment that didn't stick. Your first visit re-examines the root cause from scratch.
For elderly parents, post-op patients or anyone who finds travel difficult — the exact same first visit, at your doorstep.
From the moment you book to the moment you walk out with a plan — here is every step, in order.
A quick call or WhatsApp message to note your main complaint, so we assign the right physiotherapist and the right amount of time.
Choose a clinic slot at Hindu Colony or a home visit anywhere in Dadar and nearby areas. You'll get a WhatsApp confirmation with the time and physiotherapist's name.
A short 5-minute intake form covering your medical history, lifestyle, and pain pattern — nothing lengthy or repetitive.
Your physiotherapist takes a detailed history, then examines your posture, joint range, strength and functional movement to find the actual cause of the problem.
You'll see your reports and understand exactly what's wrong, why it happened, and how the treatment plan addresses it — no confusing medical jargon.
Most patients receive hands-on treatment in the same visit — manual therapy, targeted exercise, or both — and often leave feeling some relief already.
You take home a printed treatment plan, a simple exercise programme to follow between sessions, and an insurance-friendly receipt.
Before you leave, your physiotherapist gives an honest estimate of how many sessions you're likely to need — never an open-ended plan.
Five minutes of preparation makes your assessment faster and more accurate. Here's everything to sort out before you arrive.
Loose, stretchable clothing — track pants or shorts and a t-shirt. We need to see and test the joint that's affected, so avoid tight jeans or formal wear if you can.
Any MRI, X-ray or ultrasound reports, and a discharge summary if you've had recent surgery. Physical copies or photos on your phone both work.
A quick note of what you're currently taking, including painkillers, so your physiotherapist can plan treatment intensity safely around it.
Bring your policy card if you plan to claim reimbursement — we'll issue documentation formatted the way most insurers expect.
A rough sense of when the pain started, what makes it worse or better, and anything you've already tried. Even a one-line note helps.
Our Hindu Colony clinic is a short auto ride from most of Dadar. If travel is hard, tell us when booking and we'll arrange a home visit instead.
