A straightforward walk-through of your first appointment at our Worli clinic β so you know exactly what happens before you even book.
Most first-time patients walk in with the same questions β what to wear, what to bring, how long it takes. Here's everything covered, so your first visit to our Worli clinic feels familiar from the moment you arrive.
Every first visit at our Worli clinic follows the same four-part structure, so nothing about your treatment is guesswork.
We talk through when the pain started, what makes it better or worse, and how it's affecting your work, workouts or sleep.
Posture, joint range, muscle strength and movement patterns are tested to pinpoint the actual source of the problem.
You'll hear exactly what's going on, why it happened, and roughly how many sessions it should take to sort out.
Most patients receive hands-on treatment the same day, plus a written home-exercise plan before they leave.
The 45-minute assessment is split into two parts β what you tell us, and what we find on physical testing.
Your first appointment covers more ground than a typical follow-up β here's the difference.

| Detailed history intake | Yes | Reviewed briefly |
| Physical assessment | Full assessment | Progress check |
| Hands-on treatment | Usually included | Yes |
| Written home-exercise plan | Provided | Updated as needed |
| Insurance-friendly receipt | Yes | Yes |
"I walked in expecting a five-minute chat and some exercises to Google later. Instead I got a proper explanation of why my shoulder was catching, and left the first visit already feeling looser."β Patient, Worli
No referral is required. You can book directly with us, though if you have a specialist's report or recent scan, bringing it along helps us assess faster.
Worli can get congested around peak office hours. We'll share the nearest parking options and the easiest approach route from Annie Besant Road when you confirm your appointment.
Most patients receive some hands-on treatment during the first visit itself, alongside the assessment β you're not just diagnosed and sent home.
Yes. We run home and office visits across Worli, Lower Parel, Prabhadevi, Mahalakshmi and Parel for patients who can't travel to the clinic during work hours.
We don't process cashless treatment directly, but every session comes with a detailed, insurance-friendly receipt you can submit for reimbursement.
This depends entirely on your condition. After your first assessment, your physiotherapist will give you an honest estimate β not an open-ended, indefinite session count.
