General, abdominal, thoracic, cardiac, vascular, urology, ENT, plastic surgery, burns, oncology surgery (excluding breast surgery), and post-ICU/post-hospitalisation rehabilitation — provided as outpatient and home-visit care after discharge, not inpatient or bedside.

Not specifically — those are covered by dedicated pages. Orthopaedic surgery recovery is under Orthopedic Rehabilitation, C-section, hysterectomy, mastectomy and other gynaecological or breast surgery under Women's Health Rehabilitation, and neurosurgery under Neurological Rehabilitation. This page focuses on surgeries not covered by those.

Yes, tailored to the specific surgery — for example, lung exercises before thoracic surgery, a walking programme before abdominal surgery, inspiratory muscle training before cardiac surgery, and general conditioning before major cancer surgery.

Impulse Physiotherapy does not provide inpatient or ICU bedside rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically begins around 24 hours after discharge, starting as home-based sessions. Once you're stable enough to travel, care transitions to sessions at our centre, where a broader range of equipment and therapies is available.

Yes. The surgeon's protocol is respected throughout, communication is consent-based, progress is shared whenever required, and multidisciplinary care is coordinated with a Physician, General Surgeon, Cardiologist or Orthopaedician as appropriate.

Yes, for general surgical scars including abdominal scars, thoracotomy scars, burns, graft sites and adhesions once wound healing is complete. Post-Caesarean scar management specifically is managed under Women's Health Rehabilitation.

Yes. Physiotherapy may be postponed until medically cleared for active infection, uncontrolled bleeding, unstable vital signs, unhealed wounds, untreated deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, uncontrolled cardiac conditions, or whenever the operating surgeon advises delayed rehabilitation.

No referral is required and you can book directly, though patients referred by surgeons, physicians and other specialists from other hospitals are equally welcome.

We do not provide inpatient or ICU bedside rehabilitation. Post-ICU and post-hospitalisation rehabilitation begins around 24 hours after discharge as home-based sessions, transitioning to sessions at our centre once you're stable enough to travel, focused on restoring muscle strength, mobility, balance, endurance and functional independence.

Yes, as outpatient and home-based cardiothoracic rehabilitation after discharge and medical clearance, including diaphragmatic breathing, thoracic expansion exercises, incentive spirometer training, inspiratory muscle training, airway-clearance techniques and a progressive walking programme, individualised to the surgeon's advice and recovery stage.

Yes. After clearance from the treating surgeon, rehabilitation is modified to safely accommodate these devices while protecting the surgical site and continuing to support recovery.

Yes, including ankle pump exercises, active lower-limb exercises, early mobilisation, a progressive walking programme, calf-muscle activation, warning-sign education and compression therapy when prescribed. In selected patients with reduced mobility, NMES via the Chattanooga Wireless Professional Therapy System may also be used to support venous circulation — this does not treat an existing DVT or replace anticoagulant medication or prescribed compression therapy.

Individualised rehabilitation is provided after medical clearance, including fatigue-management strategies, energy conservation, progressive strengthening, breathing exercises, pain management and scar mobility once healed. Patients at risk of lymphedema are educated on early symptoms and referred for specialised care when required. Post-mastectomy rehabilitation and breast cancer-related lymphedema management specifically are provided through Women's Health Rehabilitation.

Yes, for selected patients recovering from burns and reconstructive surgery after hospital discharge, in coordination with the treating Plastic or General Surgeon, including contracture prevention, positioning, range-of-motion exercises, scar mobility, hand rehabilitation and gait training. Patients needing specialised burn-centre care or pressure garments are referred to or co-managed with their treating burns team.

Not always. If you've recently had surgery, we recommend bringing your discharge summary and any post-operative instructions, so your programme can be tailored to your surgeon's advice and recovery stage. We coordinate with your treating surgeon, physician or specialist whenever needed.

Yes, post-discharge rehabilitation after selected vascular procedures following clearance from the treating vascular surgeon, including a progressive walking programme, lower-limb strengthening, ankle mobility and calf-muscle exercises, balance and gait training, oedema management, limb positioning advice, and compression stocking education when prescribed. Special attention is given to protecting surgical wounds and avoiding excessive stress near vascular grafts, with any swelling, pain or delayed healing referred promptly to the treating surgeon.

Yes, after procedures such as radical prostatectomy, TURP, kidney surgery and bladder surgery, focused on early mobility, a walking programme, breathing exercises, core strengthening when medically appropriate, and functional recovery. Pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation, urinary incontinence management and male pelvic health rehabilitation specifically are provided through the dedicated Pelvic Rehabilitation service.

Yes, depending on the procedure and symptoms — including breathing exercises after major head and neck surgery, neck and shoulder mobility exercises after neck surgery, posture correction, and general conditioning after prolonged hospitalisation. Patients needing specialised voice therapy, swallowing rehabilitation or vestibular rehabilitation are referred to the appropriate specialists.

Yes. Guidance covers safe lifting techniques, activity modification, bed mobility, sitting and standing posture, stair climbing, household activities, and gradual exercise progression, individualised and following the treating surgeon's post-operative precautions.

Timing depends on the type of surgery, healing progress, pain, functional recovery and the nature of your work. Physiotherapists assess physical readiness, strength, mobility and function, while final clearance for driving or return to work comes from the treating surgeon or physician.

General education is provided on hydration, protein intake and nutrition's role in recovery. Patients needing more specialised nutritional support are referred to a physician or dietitian, while wound assessment and medical management continue under the treating surgeon or physician, with physiotherapy progressing according to healing and clearance.

Yes. Rehabilitation is individualised for older adults, considering age, overall health and functional ability, and may include fall-risk assessment, balance and gait training, addressing frailty and muscle weakness, safe transfer training, walking aid assessment and home safety advice — aiming to restore confidence, mobility and independence while minimising fall and complication risk.

Your programme is adjusted to your overall treatment plan. If a staged or second surgery is planned, physiotherapy focuses on maintaining mobility, improving strength and endurance, preventing stiffness and deconditioning, and optimising fitness before the next surgery. After that surgery, the programme is reassessed and modified according to your surgeon's recommendations.

There is no fixed number — it depends on medical stability, mobility, ability to travel safely, pain control, surgical healing and your treating surgeon's advice. Some patients attend the clinic immediately after discharge, while others benefit from a short period of home physiotherapy first.

Yes, covering safe assistance with transfers and walking, positioning and pressure-relief techniques, home exercise supervision, fall prevention, and recognising warning signs that need medical review. Medical care such as drain management, dressing changes and wound care remains the responsibility of the treating surgical team or nursing professionals — caregivers are trained to observe for concerns, not to perform clinical procedures.

This programme is primarily designed for adult postoperative patients. Children requiring post-surgical rehabilitation are managed through our dedicated Pediatric Rehabilitation services, tailored to the child's age, condition and developmental needs.

Do not wait for your next physiotherapy session. Contact your treating surgeon or seek immediate medical attention for fever, increasing redness/swelling/discharge from the wound, severe or worsening pain, bleeding, sudden leg swelling, chest pain or difficulty breathing, new weakness, or anything else your surgeon has advised you to watch for. Physiotherapy may be modified or temporarily postponed until you're medically reviewed.

Yes, including consultation receipts, physiotherapy bills, and treatment records or case sheets when required, which may support reimbursement subject to your insurer's policy. Cashless insurance is not currently available — please check coverage and reimbursement requirements with your insurer before starting treatment.

The consultation and assessment fee is ₹400, adjusted against treatment and waived with a package. Session pricing follows the standard clinic structure, with package discounts available. Home visits are available at additional charges.

Impulse Physiotherapy is open 8:30 AM to 8:00 PM, all days of the week.
