Home Physiotherapy in Paud Road, Pune

Paud Road is less a neighbourhood than a spine. It leaves Karve Road at Paud Phata and runs west through Kothrud towards Bavdhan and on to Paud, with housing societies, shops, clinics, coaching classes and restaurants strung along it. Homes just off it, in the lanes on either side, are the ones we mean by Paud Road when we book a visit.

Proper Care Physiotherapy provides home physiotherapy on Paud Road for those who would rather not spend half an hour in traffic for a half-hour appointment. The notes below are for residents of the Kothrud stretch of the road who want a physiotherapist in Paud Road to come to them.

A road that grew around a junction

Paud Phata means the diversion towards Paud, and a flyover there, the first of its kind in Pune for traffic heading to Paud, was built in 1998. The Aqua Line metro station at the junction was called Ideal Colony until December 2025 and is now Paud Phata. West of the junction, Paud Road crosses into Kothrud proper and continues to Chandani Chowk on the Katraj–Dehu bypass. A metro extension from Vanaz towards Chandani Chowk was approved in June 2025.

For home visits, where you live along such a long road matters. A flat close to the Paud Phata end is quickly reached from Karve Road; one further west may require more time. When you book, name the chowk, the society and the nearest big landmark, such as the metro station or a school. If your home is down a lane off the main road, tell us how to find the gate.

Everyday strain along a commercial corridor

The mix of homes and shops gives the road its own patterns of aches.

• Riders on a stop-start road. Frequent junctions, shared bus stops and double-parked vehicles mean riders brake and swerve repeatedly. The shoulders tense and the lower back takes the jolts.
• Shop and clinic workers. Those who stand or sit behind counters along the road return home with sore feet, calves and lower backs.
• Long-distance bus users. Direct PMPML buses to Hinjewadi run at the morning and evening peaks, so riders spend an hour or more seated at fixed times and often arrive stiff.
• Residents of upper-floor flats who go up and down several times a day with groceries and school bags.

Our pages on back pain physiotherapy in Kothrud and the general neck pain physiotherapy guide go into the detail. Briefly, the physiotherapist treats the sore areas and then reshapes the routine around them.

The hill at the end of the lane

Listings for Vetal Tekdi note that it can be climbed from several points, including Kothrud via Paud Road. That makes the hill a natural exercise target for people living on this road, and also a risk. Steep ground is hard on a recovering knee or hip, and early recovery after a stroke or operation calls for flat, predictable surfaces. The physiotherapist usually asks what you hope to do on the hill, then plans back from that goal: indoor walking first, then the society compound, then a gentle lane, and a hill path only when strength and balance are ready. The same logic applies to Kothrud Hill near Sahajanand Society.

Homes, lifts and societies

Societies on Paud Road range from older low-rise blocks to newer buildings with lifts. Older blocks sometimes have steep, narrow stairs and no lift, which affects what exercises we can do and how a patient reaches a follow-up appointment. A gate register may need the physiotherapist's name; share the flat number and the secretary's rules in advance. If a lift is out of order, please say so on the phone so that the physiotherapist can allow for stairs.

Looking after an elderly parent on Paud Road

Many adults in the area have parents living close by, in the same society or the next lane. A common situation is that the parent is independent most of the time but has had a fall, a hospital stay or a stroke. Our page on elderly physiotherapy in Kothrud explains the approach to balance, strength and confidence, and the page on post-surgery rehabilitation in Kothrud applies when an operation is involved.

Symptoms that need a doctor first

Chest pain, sudden weakness, trouble speaking, heavy bleeding, a limb that looks deformed after a fall, or a calf that is hot and swollen are reasons to go to an emergency department. Physiotherapy can follow when the doctor says it is safe.
