- Home Physiotherapy
- Professional physiotherapy treatment delivered by a PPTA/AHPC-registered physiotherapist in the patient's own home. Includes clinical assessment, hands-on manual therapy, and a personalised exercise programme. In Pakistan, home physiotherapy sessions are conducted by DPT-qualified professionals registered with PPTA or AHPC.
- PPTA — Pakistan Physiotherapy Association
- The professional body for physiotherapists in Pakistan. PPTA membership indicates that a physiotherapist has completed a recognised degree and is in good professional standing. Note: physiotherapists register with PPTA or AHPC — NOT with PMDC. PMDC governs MBBS doctors and dentists only.
- AHPC — Allied Health Professionals Council
- The statutory regulatory body for allied health professions in Pakistan, including physiotherapy. AHPC registration is the formal regulatory credential for physiotherapists. RehabNow verifies both PPTA membership and AHPC registration for every physiotherapist listed on the platform before any visit is arranged.
- PNMC — Pakistan Nursing and Midwifery Council
- The statutory regulatory body for nurses and midwives in Pakistan. A valid PNMC registration is required for any nurse providing clinical home nursing services — wound care, injections, catheter management, and post-surgical support. RehabNow verifies PNMC registration for every nurse before listing them on the platform.
- DPT — Doctor of Physical Therapy
- A five-year undergraduate clinical degree that qualifies a graduate to practise as a physiotherapist in Pakistan. DPT graduates from recognised Pakistani universities are eligible for PPTA/AHPC registration. The DPT is a doctoral-level professional degree — it is distinct from an MBBS medical degree and does not confer the title of medical doctor.
- Post-Surgery Rehabilitation
- Physiotherapy care provided after a surgical procedure to restore movement, strength, and function. For home visits in Pakistan, post-surgical rehabilitation addresses joint replacement recovery, orthopaedic and spinal surgery outcomes, and cardiac surgery rehabilitation. Typically begins within 24–72 hours of hospital discharge on the treating surgeon's instruction.
- Stroke Rehabilitation
- Physiotherapy-led recovery programme for patients who have experienced a stroke. Home-based stroke rehabilitation focuses on regaining movement, coordination, balance, and daily-living independence. Early, intensive physiotherapy initiated soon after a stroke is associated with better functional outcomes — always under guidance of the treating neurologist or physician.
- Elderly Care (Home-Based)
- A structured programme of home visits combining physiotherapy, nursing care, and wellness monitoring for older adults. Home-based elderly care packages are designed for patients who find clinic travel difficult, or for overseas families who need a remotely monitorable care programme for a parent in Pakistan — with WhatsApp reporting after every visit.
- GPS-Tracked Visit
- A home healthcare visit in which the professional's location is recorded via GPS to confirm their arrival at the correct address at the scheduled time. RehabNow applies GPS tracking on every home visit and shares confirmation with the booking family — including family members abroad — as part of the post-visit WhatsApp report.
- Family Portal
- A digital dashboard allowing family members — including those living overseas — to view appointment schedules, track visit status in real time, access session reports, and communicate directly with the RehabNow care team. The family portal is designed specifically so that overseas Pakistani families can stay informed about their parents' care without requiring local contacts.
