With its portable machine matching international standard, the HCAH physiotherapist can perform almost all exercises in the comfortable confines of home. Patients after operations, children fighting with neuro problems like cerebral palsy or the elderly are often unable to move and getting physiotherapy sessions done is a challenge for them.
