ABOUT

• Cheshire Homes Bangalore Offers Physio to PWDs and elderly around our locations who are from low-income groups.
• Our main clinic was inaugurated in March 2022, by Mr. Raghuram Joshi from BOSCH-RBEI. The continuous support from BOSCH is greatly appreciated.
• We have clinics in both our locations, Airport Road Home and Whitefield Home

PURPOSE

• Most of our elderly residents are getting on in age and require continuous physiotherapy to keep their limbs supple and prevent joint pain disorders.
• Some of our PC young residents have undergone corrective surgeries and need long term physiotherapy for improving their condition.

PHYSIOTHERAPY SERVICES

• We have a team of 3 physiotherapists across both our locations.
• Our therapists work on a patient for between 20 and 45 minutes, of which around 60% is spent on manual massaging and physical activity. The rest of the time is spent on equipment for stimulation and pain relief.
• We are now able to provide physiotherapy for 25 of our residents regularly, three to five times a week.
• An interesting observation regarding people from lower-income groups was that a large number of the patients are between 20 and 45 years old. These comprised mainly men who support their families. These patients had succumbed to temporary disabilities caused by accidents, strokes, and health ailments. We were glad to extend this therapy to them.
• At this stage, CHIB realized that the outcome of this service (in keeping with our vision and mission) for the deserving was to help them return to the workforce and earn a livelihood to support their families. So, this was a very satisfying achievement that outweighed our investment to cover the cost of therapists.
