FITKUTUMB, A ONE-STOP SOLUTION

Physiotherapy is the most commonly prescribed treatment to assist in the recovery of many injuries and conditions. Chronic pain, car and sports injuries and challenges with mobility can all be greatly improved with the use of physiotherapy. Physiotherapists are experts in advising you when it is safe to exercise, and when and how much you can increase weight and loads to your joints and muscles/soft tissues. After a thorough assessment, we will design a programme specific to your current situation, the stage of your injury as well as your needs and goals. At FitKutumb, an app to be launched soon, the doctors strive to promote selfmanagement and empower the patient through recovery and prevention of future injuries. Improvement is only possible with repetition and adherence to the programme. They also work closely with personal trainers and coaches to achieve the best results and your personal goals. During your rehabilitation, exercise prescription is usually combined with “Hands On” manual therapy or other treatment modalities to ensure the best outcome.

With a belief in spreading awareness about physiotherapy and making a fit and healthy society, Dr Dushyant is working hard day in and out. When asked to give a brief about the app, Dr Dushyant said, “FitKutumb is coming up with certified and experienced trainers to create a fit and healthy environment. It is going to play a major role in saving people’s time as one can book a trainer and physiotherapist at their homes according to their convenience. The platform provides various exercises, professional trainers, a healthy diet and a lot more.” He further continued, “We all had gone through the painful Covid-19 situation, that not only affected the lives of people physically but mentally too. Since then we also saw major changes in the lifetsyle of people. People got more vigilant towards their health. Also with the rise in work from home concept, people’s health started to get affected. Their metabolism and immunity slowed down in that phase. People are now working for more than 10 hours and are not able to give time to their health and fitness. So FitKutumb is coming up with a solution by providing trainers at your doorstep.”

When asked about what challenges one had to go through, he said, it was challenging at various levels. To be able to find good developers who can work on our idea with the same passion as we have was one of the biggest. Then it was also a task to look for wellcertified trainers since India still has a shortage of certified professional trainers. We were fortunate enough to come across hardworking and sincere trainers and provided them with multiple workouts training before they could finally reach people.” Whether the session would be available offline or online, Dushyant smilingly answered, “This app provides a platform for the patients to consult both online and offline sessions. One can book their sessions very easily through Fitkutumb and we directly connect patients to certified physiotherapists. After discussing general things and understanding the patient’s main cause, the professional physiotherapist doctors will proceed further accordingly.” He further added, not only patients can consult the doctor but will also be provided with proper counselling. Concluding the conversation, Dr Dushyant Khandelwal while giving a message to the younger generation said, “As we are in high tech and fast-moving generation, we need to be fit and healthy physically and mentally. People need to work on their lifestyle and they need to manage work and health so that they grow faster in their profession and make a healthier society.”
