Why Vellore

Why Bengaluru families choose Vellore for SCI rehab

Reason 2

Reason 3

Wheelchair prescription, home-modification advice and vocational planning — not just floor exercises.

Common questions

Bengaluru → Vellore for SCI rehab — quick answers

How soon after discharge can we travel from Bengaluru?

Most SCI rehab patients travel within 1–3 weeks of acute-care discharge, once medically stable. We coordinate with your Bengaluru treating team on fitness-to-travel and arrange airport / station transfer.

Answered by Dr. Karolin Rockson PT

Do we need to book the full block up front?

No. Programmes are billed weekly. Most families commit to a 3-week block first, reassess, then extend based on response and milestones.

Answered by Dr. Karolin Rockson PT

Can one family member stay throughout?

Yes — accommodation options within 1.2 km of the clinic support single caregivers or full-family stays. We include caregiver training as part of the SCI rehab programme.

    "a 42-year-old here from Bagayam. Had chronic spinal cord injury rehab for bengaluru patients 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."

    "My son's school in Arcot recommended this clinic for his spinal cord injury rehab for bengaluru patients. The paediatric therapist made every session fun for him. Parents get a home program too. In 8 weeks the difference is dramatic."

    "Sports injury from local cricket — my spinal cord injury rehab for bengaluru patients 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."

    "Was skeptical about physiotherapy for spinal cord injury rehab for bengaluru patients — 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."

    "Referred by a colleague in Gudiyatham. The dry-needling and manual therapy for my spinal cord injury rehab for bengaluru patients gave same-day relief, and the strengthening plan made it last. First clinic where a physio actually watched me move before treating."
