Online Physiotherapy Sessions from India

Live video assessment, progressive exercise rehab and weekly follow-ups with Dr. Vaishali Suri (BPT, MIAP) — for patients in Australia, Canada, the USA, the UAE, Singapore, Saudi Arabia and beyond who can't get timely or affordable physiotherapy where they live.

What is online physiotherapy?

Online physiotherapy — also called tele-rehab, virtual physiotherapy or telehealth physical therapy — is a live video consultation in which a physiotherapist assesses how you move, prescribes a progressive exercise programme, and corrects your technique in real time while you exercise on camera. It delivers the part of rehabilitation that research links most strongly to recovery: a correctly performed, progressively loaded exercise plan with regular expert supervision.

Here's the honest version of why this works from India: rehabilitation fails not because exercise plans are rare, but because follow-through is. In Canada you wait weeks and your benefits run out mid-plan. In Australia and Singapore each visit costs enough that "weekly" quietly becomes "monthly". In the Gulf, the nearest good clinic may be an hour from your compound. A weekly video session at Indian pricing removes the two things that kill rehab programmes — cost per visit and the commute.

How online sessions work, step by step

  1. 1

    Message us on WhatsApp

    Send your city, your problem in one or two lines, and any reports you have (MRI, X-ray, surgeon's notes) to +91 9818185589. We reply with slot options converted to your local time zone — usually within a few hours.

  2. 2

    Set up for the video assessment

    You need a phone or laptop with a camera, roughly 2 × 2 metres of floor space, and clothes you can move in. Prop the camera so we can see you standing head to toe — we'll guide the exact angles during the call.

  3. 3

    Complete a 45-minute assessment session

    History first, then a guided movement exam: you'll bend, squat, reach, and balance while Dr. Vaishali watches for the patterns that explain your pain. You get a working diagnosis impression and an honest verdict on whether video rehab suits your case.

  4. 4

    Follow your exercise programme

    You receive a written, progressive exercise plan matched to guides from our exercise library, with sets, reps, and pain rules — what's normal to feel and what means stop.

  5. 5

    Weekly video follow-ups

    Each follow-up, you perform the exercises live on camera. Technique gets corrected, load gets progressed, and the plan adapts to how your body actually responded — the part of rehab most people never get to.

Online physiotherapy — common questions

What is online physiotherapy (tele-rehab)?

Online physiotherapy is a live video consultation in which a physiotherapist assesses your movement, prescribes a progressive exercise programme, and corrects your technique in real time. It delivers the exercise-based core of rehabilitation — assessment, progression, adherence — over a video call. It does not include hands-on treatments like manual therapy, dry needling or electrotherapy.

Does online physiotherapy actually work?

For exercise-led rehabilitation — most back, neck, knee and shoulder problems — published telerehabilitation research consistently reports outcomes comparable to in-person exercise therapy, because the active ingredient (a correctly performed, progressively loaded exercise programme) is the same. Where hands-on treatment is clinically necessary, video is not a substitute, and we say so at assessment.

Who provides the online sessions?

Dr. Vaishali Suri (BPT, Member of the Indian Association of Physiotherapists), founder of Realign Rehab Clinic in Faridabad, India — rated 4.9/5 from 150+ Google reviews. You see the same physiotherapist every session, not a rotating panel.

Which countries do you serve?

Primarily Australia, Canada, the USA, the UAE, Singapore and Saudi Arabia — our clinic hours (8 AM–8 PM IST, Monday–Saturday) map to workable morning or evening slots in all six. Patients from other countries are welcome; if the time zones overlap, we can treat you.

How much does an online physiotherapy session cost?

Sessions are priced in Indian rupees, which is the point: a month of weekly video sessions typically costs less than one or two private physiotherapy visits in Sydney, Toronto, New York or Dubai. WhatsApp +91 9818185589 for current per-session and rehab-block rates — no lock-ins, no packages you don't need.

Is online physiotherapy from India legitimate for overseas patients?

Sessions are telehealth exercise-rehabilitation consultations provided by an India-registered physiotherapist. Dr. Suri is not licensed in Australia, Canada, the US, the UAE, Singapore or Saudi Arabia, and these sessions are not a substitute for local medical care. Red-flag symptoms — trauma, unexplained weight loss, fever with back pain, progressive weakness, bladder or bowel changes — need a local doctor first. We screen for these at the start of every assessment.

Can you coordinate care for my parents in India while I live abroad?

Yes — this is one of our most common arrangements. Your parent attends our Faridabad clinic in person (or we visit their home anywhere in Faridabad), and you join a video review from abroad to see the plan and progress. One physiotherapist, both formats, no information lost between them.

What equipment do I need for video sessions?

A phone or laptop with a camera, a stable internet connection, and about 2 × 2 metres of space. Most programmes start with bodyweight only; where equipment helps, we design around things you have — a towel, a backpack with books, a resistance band if you own one.
