Your first home physiotherapy visit in Kolkata

Start with the support you need

A useful first enquiry explains the difficulty you want help with. That might be getting out of a chair, walking around the flat, returning home after surgery or arranging support for a parent. Describing the task is more helpful than choosing a treatment machine before an assessment.

For CareMotion appointments, share your locality, preferred visit window and a brief description of the concern. Tell the team about recent surgery or a hospital discharge so they can discuss whether a home visit is suitable. Appointment availability must be confirmed for the full address.

Prepare the information you already have

Keep relevant discharge instructions, reports and a current medicine list available for the therapist. You do not need to arrange new scans simply to make an enquiry. If another professional has given movement restrictions, explain those before any activity is attempted.

• Write down the activities that are difficult and what you would like to improve.
• Have existing medical advice and rehabilitation instructions ready.
• Mention stairs, lift access and any difficulty reaching the entrance.
• Ask whether a caregiver should be present for the assessment.

Make the visit practical

Choose a well-lit area with enough space to talk and, if appropriate, observe movement. Keep pets away from the working area and leave a clear route through the room. Use your usual walking aid unless the therapist asks otherwise. Do not move heavy furniture or try unfamiliar exercises just to prepare.

Wear clothing that allows comfortable movement while respecting your privacy. Let the therapist know if you need a pause, assistance with communication or a family member to help explain your priorities.

Leave with an understandable next step

Ask what the assessment found, which goals are being prioritised and how progress will be reviewed. Any practice between visits should be explained for your individual situation, including when to stop and ask for advice. The number of visits should follow the agreed plan rather than a promise of recovery within a fixed package.

Before confirming further appointments, ask about the applicable fee, expected visit duration, travel charges if any and rescheduling arrangements. Keep the booking contact accessible so you can report a change in circumstances before the next visit.
