Reason 3

Common questions

Pune → Vellore for knee OA rehab — quick answers

How soon after discharge can we travel from Pune?

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