Hello, I'm Richa

Care that moves you forward

I'm a neuro physiotherapist and rehabilitation consultant, and the founder of PhysioRichCare. I'm passionate about helping people improve their mobility, function, independence and overall quality of life through evidence-based physiotherapy and personalised rehabilitation.

I founded PhysioRichCare with a simple vision: compassionate, evidence-based physiotherapy that focuses on meaningful recovery and long-term wellness. For me, rehabilitation isn't only about recovering from an injury or condition — it's about restoring confidence, participation and quality of life. Every treatment plan is tailored to the individual's goals, abilities and lifestyle.

I recently expanded my services to Pune, bringing the same patient-first approach to a wider community. Outside the clinic, I run, paint and take on hands-on DIY projects. I believe in practising what I preach — staying active keeps me grounded, creative, and connected to movement in my own life, and that energy is what I bring to motivating every patient.

My week

A continuum of care

Recovery doesn't happen only in a treatment room. My schedule is built so support follows you into real life.

  • Morning OPD — in-clinic consultation and hands-on treatment sessions.
  • Home & hospital visits — personalised rehabilitation for patients with limited mobility, or those unable to attend the clinic.
  • Evening OPD — collaborative, integrated care alongside fellow healthcare professionals.
  • Teleconsultation — online follow-ups, exercise prescription and progress reviews.

What guides me

My philosophy of care

  • Patient-first — your goals, comfort and safety lead every decision.
  • Evidence-based — grounded in current physiotherapy research and guidelines.
  • Holistic — considering lifestyle, occupation, home environment and wellbeing.
  • Authentic — drawing on my own active life to inspire and motivate you.
