Pimpri-Chinchwad, or PCMC, is a city in its own right, north-west of Pune along the Pavana river, and Hinjewadi's IT park sits on its western side. Searches for physiotherapy at home in PCMC come from two kinds of household: families rooted in the old industrial towns, and newer residents in the township societies of Wakad, Hinjewadi and Pimple Saudagar. Proper Care Physiotherapy visits both, sending a physiotherapist to the patient's door.
Pimpri-Chinchwad is the farthest of our zones from the clinic base on Katraj–Kondhwa Road in South Pune, so visits here are scheduled in advance and given as a time window. This page explains how the area works and what to expect. The area cards below list every locality we cover.
Two cities in one: factories and IT parks
The older parts of the city grew around industry. Hindustan Antibiotics began work in Pimpri in the 1950s, MIDC then developed industrial land across Pimpri, Chinchwad and Bhosari, and automobile makers such as Tata Motors (formerly Telco) and Bajaj Auto, whose two- and three-wheeler plant is at Akurdi, drew in a large number of ancillary workshops. Pimpri includes Pimpri Camp, laid out after Partition as a settlement for refugees, while Chinchwad is known for the Morya Gosavi shrine, whose temple records say its construction began in 1658. Families here often include factory staff, supervisors and retired workers who spent years on a shop floor.
The western edge looks different. Hinjewadi is home to the Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park, a business park of about 2,800 acres developed by MIDC, with offices of several hundred companies. Wakad and Pimple Saudagar have many newer apartment societies, popular with people who work in the park, while Nigdi and Bhosari are established residential areas with industry nearby.
What commonly brings PCMC families to us
The reasons for a visit follow the way people work. IT staff in Hinjewadi and Wakad bring neck, shoulder and lower back pain from long hours at a desk; for these we suggest reading about back pain physiotherapy and shoulder pain physiotherapy. Many are parents, and a strained back from lifting a child, or a stiff neck from a phone, is routine. For people who ride a two-wheeler through heavy traffic, pain often follows the commute.
Industrial workers and their families bring a different set of problems: joint pain from years of standing, lifting or machine work, and hip and knee trouble in later life. Our hip pain physiotherapy guide covers the common causes. Where shift work makes clinic hours hard to keep, a home session can be easier to fit in.
In both groups, a parent who lives with a working son or daughter may have had a stroke, a fracture or a joint replacement. We teach the household how to help, because someone is usually at home in the evening.
Traffic, bridges and getting to Hinjewadi
Hinjewadi is prone to heavy congestion in the morning and evening peaks, when the park's workforce travels in and out and heavy vehicles are barred from entering. A third metro line from Hinjewadi towards Civil Court has been under construction, and a metro line already runs from PCMC Bhavan towards Swargate. Between Pimpri, Chinchwad and Nigdi the older roads are busy through the day, so the time a journey takes varies widely.
Because of the distance from our South Pune base and these traffic patterns, we ask for notice and a flexible window. We would rather give an honest window than an exact minute we cannot keep, and we will let you know if the physiotherapist is delayed. If you are in Hinjewadi, tell us the phase, the society and the gate, as the park is large.
Housing: high-rises, township societies and older flats
In the newer parts of PCMC, a physiotherapist's session may take place high up in a tower, with a lift, a balcony and an in-society walkway. In older buildings, such as those in the established parts of Pimpri and Chinchwad, there may be no lift at all. We plan around both: where a lift exists, the lobby and the corridor are walking practice; where it does not, we work on the stairs once it is safe.
When you book, please give us the society and wing or building, the floor, a landmark and a contact number for the gate. These details matter because the townships are large and visitors are usually registered at the gate.
Booking a physiotherapist in Pimpri-Chinchwad
You can request a visit online or call us, and charges are listed on the pricing page. At the first visit the physiotherapist takes a history, checks for signs that need a doctor first, watches how you move around your home and, where appropriate, starts treatment. We do not promise a recovery time; that depends on the condition and on how regularly you follow the plan.
