Our new Physiotherapy Center at the Polyclinic was inaugurated by eminent orthopaedic surgeon Dr Pradeep Sharma on May 30th, 2024. What a wonderful occasion, to be able to open such a center for the poor who have no money to go to a physiotherapy center in Delhi due to acute financial crisis.
Elderly patients with arthritis, spondylitis, spinal injuries, falls, fractures from osteoporosis, conditions due to a poor diet, post surgery PT, hemiplegia, paraplegia, the list goes on. They had given up all hope, and are lying in bed, suffering silently in pain, and unable to perform their daily tasks. There are very few charities who offer such services free to the poor and needy patients, especially from the slums.
The physiotherapy at Asha will be followed up with exercises at home and at the Asha clinics in their respective areas through the local Asha team. Such patients need a great deal of motivation and emotional support since physiotherapy can be a long drawn process that requires much discipline and determination.
After inauguration, the center has already begun functioning. Patients in acute pain are treated with machines in addition to medication. This is followed by an exercise regimen.
