How I Earn — Proper Care Physiotherapy
Proper Care Physiotherapy · Pune
Started at ₹2,000/mo
Now at ~₹2 Lakh/mo

Solo practitioner. Home visits only. Basic equipment. Here's exactly how.

How much I earn

Initially
₹2,000
Now (10 ongoing patients)
~₹2 Lakh

Every patient is above ₹700/session. All from home visit physio only. No clinic, no team.

Making a brand

  • Website — mention the areas you serve and services you offer, use business schema so Google picks it up. You can check how mine appears: search Proper Care Physiotherapy Pune. You can ask @physiodesk.in to make something similar. Optional but gives more patient flow long-term.
  • Google Maps listing — post 2–3 photos every week. Compulsory.
  • Brand logo — Compulsory.

How to get patients

  • If you don't want to spend on paid marketing (JustDial, Practo, Sulekha etc.) — just do the brand steps above. You'll start getting patients in 1–2 months.
  • If you spend ₹4,000/month on paid platforms, you'll start getting patients in 3–5 days.
  • Collaborate with local orthopaedic clinics and gyms — yes, you have to give them a cut, but it works.
  • Later you'll get patients from referrals from old patients.

Managing patients

After you get many patients, managing records, billing, and analytics gets hard.

Billing issue I faced: patients started asking for a valid bill to submit to health insurance. Problem — most insurance companies don't accept handwritten or edited PDF bills.

I tried @physiodesk.in — their bills have a QR code on every invoice. When the insurance person scans it, it leads to a server verification page that confirms the bill is genuine.

Other features to explore — you can also negotiate the price with them. (Don't tell my name 😄)

How to set your home visit charge

First 1–2 patients ₹500 / session
After 4–5 ongoing patients ₹600 / session
After 5–6 ongoing patients ₹650 / session
After 2–3 months — don't go below this ₹700+ / session

After 2–3 months, keep ₹700 as your base price. Don't take patients below that — you will get exhausted.
