"Compared three clinics in Vellore before choosing this one. What convinced me was that the assessment for my sarcopenia was proper — orthopedic tests, movement screen, and a written plan. No generic ultrasound-and-go treatment like elsewhere."
Radhika K.Katpadi, Vellore - Jul 2026
"Post-surgery rehab for sarcopenia was handled beautifully. Coordinated directly with my surgeon at CMC. Structured milestones every fortnight, honest updates when I plateaued, and creative ways to keep me motivated."
Hari T.Gandhi Nagar, Vellore - Mar 2025
"Sports injury from local cricket — my sarcopenia was ruining my season. The return-to-sport protocol here is elite: force-plate testing, criteria-based progression, sport-specific drills. Back on the field in 6 weeks, stronger than before."
Muthu N.Sholinghur, Vellore - Aug 2025
"Great experience from Ranipet. Clean clinic, air-conditioned rooms, latest equipment for sarcopenia rehabilitation. The therapist speaks Tamil, English and Hindi so my in-laws had no issue explaining their symptoms."
Kavitha P.Ranipet, Vellore - Aug 2025
