Home Physiotherapy in Lohegaon, Pune

For most of Pune, Lohegaon is the name on a boarding pass. For the people who live here, it is an old village on the north-eastern edge of the city, now surrounded by flats, an expanding airport and an Air Force station. Anyone searching for a physiotherapist in Lohegaon is more likely to be looking after a parent in a Porwal Road apartment than anything to do with air travel. Proper Care Physiotherapy sends a physiotherapist to the home so that the person who is unwell does not have to travel through some of the slowest roads in the city.

This page sets out how home physiotherapy in Lohegaon, Pune, works, what is special about the area, which parts of Lohegaon have their own pages, and when a doctor should see the patient first.

A village core with an airport next door

Lohegaon lies between Vishrantwadi, Viman Nagar, Wagholi and Vadgaon Shinde, and roads from Vishrantwadi, Dhanori, Vadgaon Sheri and Wagholi all converge on it. The older heart of the village is built around the Sant Tukaram temple, and a Khandoba temple stands on Khandoba Mal, a hillock that overlooks the settlement. Beyond it sits Pune Airport, a civil enclave inside the Lohegaon Air Force Station, which opened a second terminal in 2024. The same air base has a Kendriya Vidyalaya on campus, which tells you that service families form a part of the local population.

The newer residential belt spreads along the Dhanori–Lohegaon road, Porwal Road and the Lohegaon–Wagholi road. These are lined with apartment buildings, many of them built within the last decade, and the neighbouring pages for Porwal Road and Khese Park describe those pockets in more detail.

Getting to a Lohegaon doorstep

The route from our base

Our physiotherapists start from the clinic base on Katraj–Kondhwa Road and travel across the city to the north-east, usually by way of Yerwada and Viman Nagar or by Alandi Road and Dhanori. It is a long journey from the south, which is why we book Lohegaon visits as a time window instead of promising an exact minute, and we tell the family if the physiotherapist is held up.

Roads, rain and airport works

The Dhanori–Lohegaon main road went under water after heavy rain in July 2026, and residents have been raising the problem of drainage for years. Potholes on the Dhanori–Porwal and Lohegaon–Wagholi roads have also been in the news. Meanwhile, the Pune Municipal Corporation approved funds in July 2026 for a 30-metre alternative approach road to the airport, because the present defence-side access via 509 Chowk is due to close when the Air Force finishes its expansion. For a household that needs a visit, the practical lesson is to give us the exact road and a landmark, and to expect a call if weather or diversions change the plan.

Home visit or travelling to a clinic from Lohegaon?

With the airport approach, school buses and heavy daily traffic, getting from Lohegaon to a clinic in another suburb can take far longer than the distance suggests. A person with a fresh fracture, a swollen knee or a stroke-affected leg may find the car ride more tiring than the exercise itself. Home physiotherapy removes that step. It also lets the physiotherapist see the bathroom, the bed and the stairs where the problems occur.

What families here ask us to treat

• Back and neck pain in commuters. People who drive or ride towards Viman Nagar, Kharadi or Yerwada through slow traffic build up stiffness. See back pain physiotherapy in Lohegaon, and sciatica treatment if pain travels into the leg.
• Knee pain. Climbing the hillock to the Khandoba temple, using the steps of an apartment building or sitting cross-legged for prayer can all provoke an arthritic knee. See knee pain physiotherapy in Lohegaon and the arthritis physiotherapy guide.
• Stroke. Where close relatives live in other cities, the caregiver at home carries much of the burden. See stroke rehabilitation in Lohegaon.
• Recovery after surgery. Fractures, joint replacements and spine operations all need guided exercise after discharge. See post-surgery rehabilitation in Lohegaon.
• Older people who live with family or alone. See elderly physiotherapy in Lohegaon and fall prevention therapy.

Old village houses and new towers

Lohegaon has two different housing worlds, and the plan changes between them. In the old village, houses may have a raised threshold, a steep internal staircase and a floor-level kitchen or bathroom. In the apartment belt, buildings often have a lift, but the corridor can be narrow, the toilet cramped and the flat packed with furniture. The physiotherapist studies the real layout during the first visit and adapts the exercises to it, for example using a corridor for walking practice or a sturdy sofa arm to push up from.

Families who live far from relatives

Many Lohegaon patients have children or siblings who work in another city. A physiotherapist can help the local caregiver by writing out a short, plain plan and by explaining exactly which signs to watch. Where relatives live elsewhere, we are happy to send the exercise plan to them as well, subject to the patient's consent. This keeps everyone aligned, even when only one person is physically in the flat.

Physiotherapy near Pune Airport

People sometimes look for physiotherapy near Pune Airport because a relative has just returned from abroad with an injury, or because they are about to travel and want to be fit for a long flight. A home visit works for both. After a fracture or surgery abroad, the physiotherapist can pick up from the discharge notes and plan the exercise for the first weeks at home. Before a long journey, a person with a stiff back or a recent operation can learn how to move around on a flight, how often to stand up and walk, and which warning signs after landing need a doctor. Always ask your doctor whether it is safe to fly after surgery or a clot.

Walking practice and daily movement

Lohegaon has open ground on its edges, but the main roads are fast, narrow and crowded, and the pavements are patchy in places. For a patient who is regaining strength, the safest sequence is indoors first, then the apartment corridor or compound, and only afterwards a quiet lane at a calm hour with someone alongside. In monsoon, wet surfaces make this slower, and in the hot months an early-morning walk is easier on older patients. The physiotherapist sets a distance and a pace, and asks you to note how the legs feel the next day.

What the first visit covers

Expect questions about the problem and the patient's goals, an examination of movement, strength, balance and sensation, and a look at the home. Treatment begins in the same visit when it is safe. Keep discharge papers, scan reports and the list of medicines ready, and have the main caregiver present.

When to see a doctor before physiotherapy

Seek urgent help for sudden weakness or numbness on one side, difficulty speaking, chest pain, breathlessness, loss of bladder or bowel control, severe pain after a fall, a hot swollen calf, or fever after surgery. Go to an emergency department rather than waiting for a visit.
