At LifeWell Physio, Dr. Rohit Kumar visits patients after they return from hospital, as well as those who had a stroke months or even years ago and feel progress has slowed. The same careful approach is used for paralysis from other causes, such as spinal cord injury (paraplegia) or brain injury. Every plan begins with a detailed home assessment and is built around clear, practical goals agreed with the patient and family.
Stroke recovery usually follows recognisable phases. The first few weeks and months often show the fastest change as the brain begins to reorganise. Improvement can continue more slowly for many months afterwards, and many people keep gaining function with regular, focused practice even later. We explain where the patient is in this journey, what is realistic to aim for next and how much daily practice is needed, because recovery is driven by repetition, not by a few minutes of exercise twice a week.
Home-based rehab has real advantages after stroke. Many patients cannot sit in a car for long, need help with every step and tire quickly. In Jaipur, travel through traffic in summer heat can leave a patient too exhausted to exercise properly once they reach a clinic. At home, the same energy goes into therapy, and we can practise on the exact toilet, bed height and staircase the patient must manage. It also makes it easier for the whole family to be involved, which matters a great deal in joint families where several people share caregiving.
Physiotherapy works alongside, not instead of, your neurologist or physician. Blood pressure, sugar, cholesterol, blood thinners and other medicines must be managed medically, because preventing a second stroke is as important as recovering from the first. If you notice any new sudden weakness, face drooping, slurred speech, confusion or severe headache, call for emergency help straight away.
For other neurological conditions such as Parkinson's, neuropathy or Bell's palsy, see our neuro physiotherapy at home service. Older stroke survivors with general frailty may also benefit from elderly care physiotherapy, and once a routine is established, part of the programme can continue through online physiotherapy sessions.
Send us the patient's age, when the stroke happened, current mobility and your locality on WhatsApp or by call, and we will plan the first home visit.
