Transverse Myelitis Rehab in Vellore

Sudden weakness, sensory change, and bladder dysfunction from cord inflammation — early rehab guards against contractures and pressure sores.

    "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."

    "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."

    "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."

    "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."

    "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."

    "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."
