Home Physiotherapy Services

35-year-old Rishabh was diagnosed of AVN- Bilateral Hip Avascular Necrosis. AVN is a condition where there is a reduced supply of blood to the bones.His journey with AVN started when he first complained of intermittent pain radiating from his thigh region. Walking and stair climbing was gradually becoming difficult for him. Only sitting and resting would get him some relief from this pain. On his doctor’s advice, Rishabh successfully underwent a left-hip surgery immediately. However, this was not enough as his body needed long-term regular physiotherapy. This is when a friend recommended him to take home physiotherapy care from Healthcare atHOME. Without further delay, Rishabh contacted HCAH for taking the treatment forward. When HCAH received Rishabh, he could barely stand or walk. He was taking a walker’s support to move with ease. His hip and knee movements were restricted and he could not climb stairs at all. HCAH penned down a protocol-led plan for his treatment that included a regular visit from a clinically qualified physiotherapist. The physiotherapist helped him with active range of motion exercises (ROM) for hip and knee movements. Isometric exercises of hip, knee and ankle were followed by resisted exercises. Gait training, balance exercises and HOME exercise programme were other such pieces of training that were scheduled for his recovery. Gradually, Rishabh’s joint and knee mobility improved to a great bend. He was able to walk easily and climb stairs without any difficulty. The intensity of pain after surgery reduced to a great extent. This routine for Rishabh was followed for a matter of 1.5 months. Today, there are no hurdles in his walk and he is able to stand, move, climb stairs easily without any support and pain. In the next few months, he will be undergoing the right hip surgery. Rishabh is quite positive and confident this time and is not scared to take any challenge that comes his way now onwards.
