Patient Reviews

Hear what our elderly patients are saying about their treatment with ReLiva Physiotherapy

Hemant Masih Hyderabad

My Mother was unable to get up from bed & stopped movement of her limbs & body parts completely. She is having advance stage Arthritis & Parkinson. I contacted ReLiva and they sent Dr. Bhavana promptly to my residence. My mother started showing improvement from 3rd day itself and within a week my mother could get up, walk & do mild exercise. By the end of 15days my mother has recovered 70% and started doing routine activities independently. My experience with ReLiva is excellent.

We had a very good experience during my father's knee replacement. Special thanks to Dr. Monika and Dr. Aishwarya for taking exercises which look simple but very effective. My father was very happy the way both of them handled them. Both are very professional and very polite and mainly look very passionate about their work. Kudos. I will definitely recommend the team from Reliva Physiotherapy .
