Across Nagpur, more people are choosing physiotherapy at home instead of clinic visits — and for good reasons. From seniors recovering after surgery to busy professionals with desk-job pain, home physiotherapy delivers personalised, hands-on care in a familiar, comfortable environment. In this post we explain why home visits are becoming the preferred option, who benefits most, what to expect during a home session, and practical tips to make your rehab faster and safer.
