Physiotherapy that takes its time.
A clinic in Panampilly Nagar, Kochi. One therapist, one patient, forty five unhurried minutes.
Fourteen years in Panampilly Nagar
Dr Anjana Warrier opened the clinic in 2012 and still sees patients five days a week.
9,400 sessions given here since we opened
Your first visit is an assessment
Forty five minutes to work out what is actually wrong before anybody switches a machine on.
Ask us about it
Meet the founder
Dr Anjana Warrier
BPT, MPT in Neurological Rehabilitation
Practising since 2008. She opened this clinic in 2012.
I trained in Bengaluru and spent four years on a neurology ward before I came home to Kochi. What I learned there is that recovery is slow, and that people give up when nobody explains why it is slow. So I built the clinic around the explaining. Every patient gets forty five minutes and the same therapist for the whole course, and I would rather see you eight times properly than twenty times in a hurry.
Fewer machines. More assessment. A home programme written in whichever language you read most comfortably.
Our specialities
Six specialities, one clinic
Each one has a lead therapist. You are matched to a therapist at the first assessment, and you keep them. Tap whichever one sounds like your problem and ask.
How it works
Three ways to be seen
Pick whichever fits your week. The assessment and the home programme are the same either way.
Clinic sessions
Forty five minutes on the plinth and in the gym, with the full assessment repeated every fourth visit so you can see what moved.
- The same therapist for the whole course
- A written home programme from visit one
- Reassessed every fourth visit
Home visits
For patients who cannot travel yet. Vinod covers central Kochi six days a week.
- Central Kochi, six days a week

Before you book
What people ask before they book
Cost, referrals, insurance, parking and how many visits it takes. If yours is not here, ask us directly and we will answer it honestly.
What does a session cost?
Six hundred rupees for a clinic session. A block of ten is five thousand four hundred. A home visit in central Kochi is nine hundred.
Do I need a doctor's referral?
No. Walk in or message us directly. If we think you need a scan or an orthopaedic opinion before we start, we will say so at the assessment.
Do you take insurance?
We take cash, UPI and card, and we give a proper receipt you can claim against. We do not bill insurers directly.
How long is a session, and how often should I come?
Forty five minutes. Most people start at two or three visits a week and taper from there.
Which areas do home visits cover?
Panampilly Nagar, Kadavanthra, Elamkulam, Vyttila, Ravipuram and Marine Drive. Ask about anywhere else and we will tell you honestly whether we can reach you.
Is there parking?
Four cars in front and covered two-wheeler parking at the side of the building.
What languages do you speak?
Malayalam, English, Tamil and Hindi. Your home programme is written in whichever one you read most comfortably.
What should I wear?
Loose clothes. Shorts or track pants if the problem is in a knee, hip or ankle. There is a changing room.
How many sessions before I feel better?
Most people notice a change by the third to fifth visit, and a full course usually runs about six weeks. If nothing has shifted by the fifth visit we reassess rather than keep going.
What patients say
What four of them said afterwards
Six weeks on crutches after the knee surgery and I had convinced myself I would never trust that leg again. Eleven sessions. Nobody rushed it, nobody sold me a package, and I walked out of here without them.
I came in barely able to manage the stairs at home. Nine visits later I stopped holding the rail on the way up. Nobody hurried me through any of it.
Three years of low back pain and two other clinics before this one. What was different here was that somebody actually explained what was happening.
Vinod came home for my father's sessions after the stroke. He taught us the transfers so we could manage properly between visits.
