Swara Physiotherapy Clinic

If you go past the Janapriya Apartments, you’ll find Swara Physiotherapy Clinic at Plot No 1 in the YTR Residency. It’s a ground floor spot, which is lucky because most of our patients have trouble with stairs anyway. We have some mats on the floor and a few exercise machines that look a bit old but they still work perfectly fine. Physiotherapy is a lot of hard work and sometimes people groan during their stretches. I tell them it’s better than sitting still. The room smells a bit like liniment and cleaning supplies. We don't have a uniform; I usually just wear a comfortable shirt and trousers. My assistant, Rahul, is better at keeping the schedule than I am. We get a lot of older folks from the residency and the apartments nearby. They usually come in the mornings. In the afternoons, it's more people who hurt themselves at work or playing sports. We have a small radio that plays the news or some soft music in the background. It’s not a high-end gym, just a place to get your joints moving again. The curtains are a bit faded from the sun, but they keep the room private. We just take things one day at a time here. It’s satisfying to see someone walk out a bit better than they walked in. We keep a box of tissues on the table because the exercises can be tough. It is a simple, honest workspace for getting healthy.
