Typical recovery timeline
| Phase | When | Focus |

Sowmya K.Arcot, Vellore - Oct 2026
"a 42-year-old here from Sholinghur. Had chronic continuous passive motion (cpm) — knee 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."

"Compared three clinics in Vellore before choosing this one. What convinced me was that the assessment for my continuous passive motion (cpm) — knee was proper — orthopedic tests, movement screen, and a written plan. No generic ultrasound-and-go treatment like elsewhere."
Divya N.Melvisharam, Vellore - Apr 2025
"As a working mother from Viruthampet, I struggled with continuous passive motion (cpm) — knee 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."
