Reason 3

Coordinated review with CMC-lineage orthopaedic surgeons if imaging or injection decisions arise during the block.

Week 1

Baseline (WOMAC, ROM, quadriceps strength, gait), pain and swelling control, education on load management.

Weeks 2–3

Progressive quadriceps, glute-med and calf strengthening; hip-knee-ankle alignment work; low-load aerobic conditioning.

Weeks 4–6

Functional retraining (stairs, sit-to-stand, community walking), footwear/orthotic review, home programme hand-off.

Follow-up

Common questions

Kolkata → Vellore for knee OA rehab — quick answers

How soon after discharge can we travel from Kolkata?

Most knee OA rehab patients travel within 1–3 weeks of acute-care discharge, once medically stable. We coordinate with your Kolkata 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 knee OA rehab programme.

    "a 19-year-old student here from Arakkonam. Had chronic knee osteoarthritis rehab for kolkata 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."

    "As a 28-year-old from Arcot, I struggled with knee osteoarthritis rehab for kolkata patients for months before coming here. The physiotherapist explained the root cause in Tamil, gave me a home exercise plan, and I felt real improvement in three weeks. Best decision I made this year."

    "My father, a diabetic patient in Sathuvachari, was recovering from knee osteoarthritis rehab for kolkata patients. The physiotherapist worked around his sugar levels, mobility, and family schedule. Six weeks in, he is walking without support. Truly patient-centred care."

    "Was skeptical about physiotherapy for knee osteoarthritis rehab for kolkata 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."

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

    "Compared three clinics in Vellore before choosing this one. What convinced me was that the assessment for my knee osteoarthritis rehab for kolkata patients was proper — orthopedic tests, movement screen, and a written plan. No generic ultrasound-and-go treatment like elsewhere."

    "Sports injury from local cricket — my knee osteoarthritis rehab for kolkata 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."
