Home Physiotherapy in Fursungi, Pune

Fursungi is where Saswad Road leaves the built-up edge of Hadapsar and starts to open out. It began as a village, was counted as a census town of more than 66,000 people in 2011, and today holds a mix of village lanes, low-rise flats and new apartment complexes, with warehouses and a bus depot along the road. For anyone looking for a physiotherapist in Fursungi, Proper Care Physiotherapy can send one to the house.

It should be said plainly that Fursungi is one of the farther areas from our South Pune base. That is why home physiotherapy in Fursungi is booked in advance, and why this page spends time on the road, the timing and the practicalities of a long visit, as well as on the treatments we offer.

The Saswad Road corridor

The Pune–Saswad road begins at Saswad Fata in Hadapsar and runs through Fursungi, Manterwadi, Uruli Devachi and Wadki on its way to Saswad. Everything in Fursungi hangs off it. In January 2026 a report said the Hadapsar to Saswad stretch of the Sant Dnyaneshwar Palkhi Mahamarg, 13.25 km long, was being widened from two lanes to eight and was about 45 per cent complete, with underpasses planned at Fursungi, Uruli Devachi and Wadki and the railway overbridge at Fursungi being expanded to remove crossing delays.

The highway will eventually help. For now, a road under construction means diversions, dust and queues that change from week to week.

Getting here, and why we book ahead

The Katraj–Manterwadi Bypass starts in Katraj and passes Undri and Handewadi on its way to Manterwadi, which is the stretch of Saswad Road just beyond Fursungi. Depending on the day, a physiotherapist may use it or go by way of Hadapsar. Either way, the trip is a long one, and the final stretch is the part most affected by roadworks.

So we agree a time window with you, not an exact minute, and we tell you if the physiotherapist is delayed. We have not fixed a standard notice period for this page. When you book, ask for the earliest date for your address, and give us the days that suit you.

A place in administrative transition

Fursungi and Uruli Devachi were brought into the Pune Municipal Corporation in 2017, and in September 2024 the state government formed a separate municipal council for the two. Many residents are still sorting out where services come from. That matters to us because a patient's practical needs, such as water, lifts, the road in front of the building and the route to a hospital, vary from one lane to the next. We rely on what you tell us about your own address.

Village lanes and apartment complexes

• Older houses. Raised thresholds, a few steps at the door, floor-level toilets and mat-on-floor sleeping are common. They are the first things we look at after a stroke, fracture or knee problem.
• Low-rise blocks. Buildings of a few storeys without a lift mean stairs are part of everyday life, and an upper-floor flat can leave a patient housebound after surgery.
• New complexes. These have lifts and paved paths, and may have a security desk that needs to know the visitor in advance.
• Households with several generations. Grandparents, parents and children share space, which is good for support and hard for quiet exercise.

Getting about without a car

PMPML runs buses from the Bhekrai Nagar depot on Saswad Road. In 2023, route 167, which already ran between Wagholi and Hadapsar, was extended to the depot, and it travels by Magarpatta, Mundhwa and Kharadi Bypass. Buses are a lifeline, but for a person with a bad knee, a recent operation or a stroke, a long ride and a walk to the stop are hard. Local hospitals and specialists are mostly in Hadapsar or the city, so even a follow-up appointment is a project. Home visits take one of those journeys off the patient.

The depot in the news, and what it means for a visit

The Fursungi–Uruli Devachi waste depot has been in local news. In August 2026 residents were protesting against a proposed 500-tonne processing plant there, and the dispute was still running when this page was checked. We do not take sides in it. The practical point is that a news-making site can bring extra vehicles, meetings or diversions on some days, so if your lane is near the depot, tell us, and check the approach with us before the visit.

Walking practice and daily movement

Saswad Road is a busy highway with heavy vehicles, and while it is being widened, its edges are not a place for a patient who is relearning to walk. Safer options are the home's own floor first, then a verandah, the building's compound or a quiet internal lane, with someone beside the patient. In older houses a flat courtyard may be the most suitable space. The physiotherapist sets a distance and a pace, and asks you to note how the legs feel the next day.

Planning care when the family is stretched

Many Fursungi households have one or two earners travelling towards Hadapsar, Magarpatta or the city for work, with the day's care of an older relative left to a spouse, a neighbour or a helper. A physiotherapy visit can fit into that only if it is planned. When you book, tell us who will be home, who makes decisions about the patient's care, and whether anybody needs to join by phone. If the main caregiver is out until evening, we can look for a late slot, subject to availability. After the first visit, the physiotherapist writes down the exercises in plain words, so that a helper who was not present can follow them.

Staying in touch between visits

Because visits to Fursungi are spaced by the distance, the plan you are left with has to stand on its own. We note which exercises to repeat, how often, and what a normal reaction feels like, so a family can tell a sore muscle from a sign that needs a call. If something changes, get in touch before the next booked visit instead of waiting.

Finding your door

Lane names repeat, plot numbers are not always visible and new buildings are not always on the map. Give us the house or society name, the nearest landmark on Saswad Road, your floor, and a phone number that will be answered when the physiotherapist arrives. If the road is being dug up outside, tell us which side to approach from.

The first visit

The physiotherapist asks how the problem began, what a normal day looks like and what you have tried, reads any reports or discharge papers, and examines movement, strength, balance and, where nerves may be involved, sensation. Treatment starts in the same visit when it is safe, and you are left with a plan to follow. Keep a firm bed or a clear patch of floor and a sturdy chair ready. Charges are on the pricing page.

Symptoms that need a doctor first

Go to an emergency department, or call an ambulance, for sudden weakness or a drooping face, trouble speaking, chest pain, severe breathlessness, loss of bladder or bowel control, a hot swollen calf after surgery, or a fall followed by inability to bear weight. Hospitals are some distance from Fursungi, so set off early and do not wait for a booked visit.

Booking a physiotherapist in Fursungi
