About the service
What is an online physiotherapy consultation?
An online physiotherapy consultation is a video call with a physiotherapist. During the appointment your physiotherapist will assess your movement, range of motion and posture, and work with you to design a suitable home exercise and progress review plan.
The online consultation offers the same level of care and attention as an in-clinic assessment, with the convenience of being able to conduct it from your own home. It is a practical option for residents of South Mumbai who want to get an assessment and begin treatment without travelling to the clinic.
It became an important part of TheraCure's physiotherapy services during the Covid-19 pandemic, and has remained popular since — both for patients who cannot easily reach the clinic and for those who simply prefer an at-home assessment.
The process
How an online physiotherapy consultation works
Five stages, from booking your slot through to the maintenance plan that keeps your progress.
Complete a brief history form
Tell us the nature of your complaint, along with any past relevant reports and medications.
Your video call
Your physiotherapist observes and questions you regarding your movement, range of motion and posture.
Your home physiotherapy plan
You are sent a link to a customised strengthening program and stretching program, a take-home exercise folder, and guidance on how to perform each stretch and exercise.
Review and revise
Your plan is reviewed and revised regularly depending on your progress until your goals are achieved, then a maintenance plan is designed so those gains are not lost.
Before you start
What you need for the call
Nothing specialised — if you can make a video call, you can attend the consultation.
A device with a camera
Smartphone, tablet or laptop with a working camera and microphone.
A stable connection
A reliable internet connection so the assessment is not interrupted.
Zoom or WhatsApp Video
Whichever video calling application you are most comfortable with.
A well-lit, spacious room
Enough clear space to sit and stand so your physiotherapist can see you move.
Who it is for
Who an online physiotherapy consultation is suitable for
The video consultation works particularly well for assessment, planning and progression — these are the situations we see most often.
Posture & desk ergonomics
Postural correction and ergonomic desk set-up advice for work-from-home and office roles. See Posture Club.
Post-surgery progression
Progression of home physiotherapy exercises for post-surgical rehabilitation, as advised by your surgeon.
Sports injury maintenance
Maintenance physiotherapy for an active lifestyle and sports injuries.
Elderly & limited mobility
Patients who find it difficult to reach the clinic easily, with a family member able to assist during the call.
Busy professionals
Those who prefer an at-home assessment and want to avoid the commute to the clinic.
- As a follow-up to an initial in-clinic physiotherapy assessment
- Patients in remote areas, or outside Mumbai, who are yet to reach South Mumbai for a physiotherapy assessment
Getting ready
How to prepare for your appointment
A few minutes of preparation makes the assessment considerably more accurate.
- Log in from a laptop, smartphone or tablet with a working camera and a stable internet connection
- Wear well-fitted clothing that allows your physiotherapist to observe the affected joint clearly
- Keep relevant reports or scans — X-ray, MRI and similar — and your medications close by to review during the call
- Have a family member present if your ability to move is limited
- Prepare a clear space to sit and stand in
After the call
What happens following your appointment
After your online physiotherapy consultation you will have a take-home exercise and stretching folder to refer to, and your progress and physiotherapy plan will be reviewed at every follow-up appointment.
Once you are fit and have successfully completed your recovery, we design a maintenance physiotherapy plan to ensure your pain and discomfort are not triggered again.
Some of the physiotherapy conditions we treat online:
- Physiotherapy for back pain and neck pain

An average session lasts 30 to 45 minutes, including assessment and discussion of your home physiotherapy plan and review of your progress.
The online consultation is ideal for posture assessment, movement analysis, and designing and reviewing an individualised physiotherapy plan. For manual therapy and electrotherapy treatments, and in the case of acute presentations, in-clinic physiotherapy is advised.
The video consultation is a useful tool, but it is not right for every patient or condition, and we would rather say so openly. In-clinic physiotherapy is advised where a hands-on assessment is required:
Manual therapies of the joints and muscles; electrotherapy and related procedures such as ultrasound, contrast bath and cryotherapy; myofascial release with instruments, dry needling and cupping; red flag symptoms or acute conditions; and physical treatment following surgery, which often requires hands-on rehabilitation.
If you present with any of these we will advise you to book an appointment at TheraCure in Charni Road, South Mumbai, which offers the full range of in-clinic physiotherapy treatments. Many patients book a video consultation first and come in for in-clinic treatment afterwards, or the other way round. Physiotherapy care should be individualised to suit your condition, lifestyle and preferences.
We are based in South Mumbai but can provide consultations to patients across India.
We will advise you accordingly during your video call and help you book an appointment at TheraCure, Charni Road, Mumbai, if required.
Yes. You will receive a take-home exercise and stretching folder to help you monitor your physiotherapy progress.
Yes. The online consultation is conducted one-to-one over WhatsApp Video or Zoom and your data is kept secure and confidential.
