How Vellore Physio treats voice & swallow restoration program
Precise assessment
Detailed 45-minute assessment covers movement, strength, neurology, function and lifestyle — with a plan you can read.
Family-first
Caregivers are trained in every session. You leave able to continue the work at home.
Time-boxed
Progress is reviewed at 2 and 4 weeks. No open-ended packages, no drip-fed sessions.
Evidence-first
Only treatments with real evidence for your condition — no unproven modalities.
Active rehab
Every session includes movement and loading. Passive-only treatment plans aren't offered here.
Outcome-tracked
Objective measures — ROM, strength, walking speed, balance, PROMs — tracked at every review.
Typical programme timeline
| Phase | When | Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Baseline | Day 1 | Detailed assessment, goal setting, outcome measures and family education. |
| Intensive block | Weeks 1–4 | High-frequency clinic sessions, home programme and caregiver training. |
| Consolidation | Weeks 4–8 | Reduce clinic frequency, transfer skills to home and community environments. |
| Maintenance | Weeks 8–12 | Independent programme with monthly review and telehealth check-ins. |
What the guidelines say
Our programmes are built on published clinical pathways (e.g., LSVT for Parkinson's, NICE for stroke, ACL Delaware / MOON protocols for knee, Otago for falls) and adapted for Indian home environments and cost realities.
Benefits
- •Active engagement — attending sessions and doing the home programme
- •Honest reporting of symptoms so we can adjust intensity
- •Combining the treatment with strength, mobility and cardio work
- •Sleep, hydration and nutrition to support tissue healing
Trade-offs
- •Using the treatment as a stand-alone cure
- •Chasing sensation ('the stronger the current the better') instead of function
- •Skipping home exercises between sessions
- •Continuing beyond the planned dose without a review

Ganesh V.Katpadi, Vellore - Feb 2026

Anitha G.Ambur, Vellore - Feb 2026
