Booking a physiotherapist is easier when you know what to look for.

This checklist walks through what to check on a profile, what to ask, and what to keep ready, so your first session goes smoothly.
What to check on a physiotherapist profile
- Verification: Look for the verified badge. Physiotherapists on BookPhysio.in are checked through NCAHP, IAP, or State Council details.
- Specialty match: Check the specialty fits your need, such as orthopaedic, neurological, sports, or women’s health.
- Visit type: Confirm whether the physiotherapist offers clinic visits, home visits, or both, and pick what suits you.
- Fee: The exact fee is shown on the profile before you book. There are no hidden charges and no online payment.
- Availability: Check the available slots match your schedule before you choose a time.
- Languages and experience: See the languages the physiotherapist speaks and their years of experience, where listed.
Questions worth asking before you book
- Is this suitable for my problem?: A physiotherapist can tell you at the first session whether physiotherapy is the right next step or whether you should see a doctor first.
- Clinic or home visit?: Ask which setting suits your situation, especially if travel is difficult or you need clinic equipment.
- What should I bring?: Ask whether to bring existing scans, reports, or a list of medicines.
- How is payment handled?: You pay the physiotherapist directly after the session by cash, UPI, or card, and you can ask for a GST invoice.
What to keep ready
- Comfortable clothes: Wear something you can move in so the physiotherapist can assess the area.
- Any reports you have: Existing scans, X-rays, or a medicine list are useful, but not required to book.
- Your goals: Note what you want back, such as sleeping through the night or returning to a sport. Clear goals shape the plan.
- For a home visit: Clear a small space to move in and keep a sturdy chair handy.
