Absolutely. The tele-rehabilitation program is available to patients across India. All you need is a smartphone or computer and a stable internet connection.
Discharge exercises provide a valuable starting point for recovery. Rehabilitation, however, is far more individualized. At PulseBreath, every program is tailored to your specific diagnosis, symptoms, functional capacity, heart rate response, oxygen levels, and personal goals. Your exercises are continuously monitored and progressed based on how your body responds, ensuring that you improve safely and effectively over time. Rather than following a fixed exercise sheet, you receive a structured rehabilitation plan that evolves with your recovery journey.
Most rehabilitation programs are designed for 8-12 weeks, with sessions typically conducted 2-3 times per week. The exact duration depends on your diagnosis, current functional capacity, rehabilitation goals, and how you progress throughout the program. During your initial assessment, Dr. Deepali will evaluate your condition and recommend a personalized rehabilitation plan, including the expected duration and frequency of sessions.
