Tele Physiotherapy at VPARC - Expert Care From Anywhere
Tele physiotherapy is the delivery of physiotherapy assessment, diagnosis, and treatment via video consultation. At VPARC in Varanasi, Dr. Prashant Punj offers online physiotherapy appointments for patients who cannot attend the clinic in person - whether due to distance, illness, busy schedules, or physical limitations.
Tele physiotherapy is a genuinely effective mode of care for a wide range of conditions. Research demonstrates that online physiotherapy produces outcomes equivalent to in-person care for exercise prescription, rehabilitation guidance, chronic pain management, and post-surgical monitoring.
What Can Be Assessed and Treated Online
Tele physiotherapy is particularly effective for exercise programme review and progression, chronic pain management including back pain, neck pain, and joint pain, rehabilitation programme monitoring, postural assessment via video, ergonomic advice for home or office, sports injury management and return-to-sport guidance, and second-opinion consultations.
Acute injuries requiring hands-on manual therapy, severe neurological conditions, and immediate post-surgical care are best managed with in-person attendance. Dr. Punj will be honest about which conditions are suited to online versus clinic-based care.
How a VPARC Online Physiotherapy Session Works
Appointments are conducted via WhatsApp video call or Google Meet. Before the session, patients complete a brief symptom questionnaire so Dr. Punj can prepare. During the session, he assesses movement on camera, discusses symptoms in detail, and explains the diagnosis and treatment plan clearly.
Following the consultation, a written exercise programme with clear instructions is sent via WhatsApp. Follow-up appointments monitor progress and advance the programme. Tele physiotherapy is available 7 days a week. To book, WhatsApp +91 98896 78838 and we will confirm a time that suits you.
When Online Physiotherapy Works Best
- Follow-up reviews after you have been assessed in the clinic
- Exercise coaching and progression for a known problem
- Posture and workstation advice
- Long-term conditions where regular check-ins keep you on track
- When travel is difficult, or you live outside Varanasi
When You Need to Be Seen in Person
- A suspected fracture, serious injury, or any warning sign that needs a doctor
- Problems that need hands-on examination or scans
- Complex neurological conditions needing close supervision
- Early recovery after major surgery, when your surgeon wants in-person checks
Getting the Most From Your Video Session
- Use a quiet, well-lit space with a steady internet connection
- Prop the phone or laptop so your whole body is visible
- Wear clothes that let the painful area be seen
- Keep scans and reports ready, and have someone nearby if you feel unsteady
