What Vellore patients say about transverse myelitis care
- Sep 2025
"Sports injury from local cricket — my transverse myelitis 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."
Aishwarya N.Ranipet, Vellore - Aug 2025
"Loved the transparency. Cost sheet given upfront for the entire transverse myelitis program, no hidden add-ons. Sessions started and ended on time. Reception team even coordinated with my Ola driver for pickup."
Meenakshi S.Arcot, Vellore - Sep 2025
"Compared three clinics in Vellore before choosing this one. What convinced me was that the assessment for my transverse myelitis was proper — orthopedic tests, movement screen, and a written plan. No generic ultrasound-and-go treatment like elsewhere."
Ramesh P.Chittoor, Vellore - Feb 2025
"Great experience from Katpadi. Clean clinic, air-conditioned rooms, latest equipment for transverse myelitis rehabilitation. The therapist speaks Tamil, English and Hindi so my in-laws had no issue explaining their symptoms."
Hari M.Katpadi, Vellore - May 2026
"Was skeptical about physiotherapy for transverse myelitis — thought only rest or surgery would help. After a 45-minute assessment I understood exactly what was wrong and what to do. Symptoms reduced by 70% in one month. Wish I had come earlier."

"Booked a home visit for my mother's transverse myelitis in Viruthampet. One-on-one attention, honest pricing, no unnecessary sessions. WhatsApp reminders and follow-ups made the recovery smooth. Highly recommend for anyone looking for evidence-based physio in Vellore."
Mohan V.Viruthampet, Vellore - Nov 2025
"My son's school in Vellore Fort recommended this clinic for his transverse myelitis. The paediatric therapist made every session fun for him. Parents get a home program too. In 8 weeks the difference is dramatic."
Naveen T.Vellore Fort, Vellore - Aug 2026
"a school teacher here from Sathuvachari. Had chronic transverse myelitis for over a year. What worked was pain-education plus graded exercise, not endless machines. Now I sleep through the night and go for morning walks pain-free."
Kavitha R.Sathuvachari, Vellore - Sep 2026
"Insurance-friendly billing and detailed reports for my employer. My transverse myelitis recovery plan included manual therapy, dry needling, and progressive loading — exactly what current research recommends. Five stars."
Revathi K.Gudiyatham, Vellore - Dec 2025
"Post-surgery rehab for transverse myelitis 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."
