RECOGNITION
Ms. Christina Nissi's clinical excellence has been recognised with several national honours in physiotherapy.
ABOUT THE CENTRE
Rebalance Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation Centre is Chennai's dedicated neuro rehabilitation practice — built around a simple premise: recovery is individual, and therapy should be too. Every programme here is designed around evidence, measured against outcomes, and delivered one patient at a time.
We work with people recovering from stroke, Parkinson's disease, vertigo and balance disorders, spinal cord injuries and a wide range of neurological and musculoskeletal conditions — bringing hospital-grade rehabilitation science into a calm, dignified clinical setting.
Protocols drawn from current rehabilitation research, not routine.
Therapy built around the person's life, not a standard template.
Every plan is reassessed and adjusted as recovery progresses.
Modern neuro-rehab methods delivered by experienced therapists.
SUCCESS STORIES
VISION
MISSION
WHY REBALANCE
Every protocol is grounded in current clinical research and measured against real recovery outcomes.
A dedicated therapist for every session — no rotating staff, no shared attention.
Programmes built around each patient's condition, goals and pace of recovery.
Clinical-grade therapy delivered at home for patients with limited mobility.
We train the people around each patient, so good practice continues outside the clinic — not just the patient alone.
Progress is measured session to session, with clear, shared benchmarks.

Rehabilitation can safely begin within days of a stroke, once a patient is medically stable. Early, structured therapy is strongly associated with better long-term mobility and independence.
While physiotherapy doesn't alter the underlying disease process, targeted exercise and gait training measurably improve balance, walking, and daily function — and can help manage symptoms like freezing of gait.
Vertigo is often related to the inner ear's vestibular system, though it can also stem from neurological causes. We assess the underlying source and use vestibular rehabilitation therapy — specific head, eye and balance exercises — to resolve it.
Physiotherapy is a broad discipline covering musculoskeletal and movement-related conditions. Neuro rehabilitation is a specialised branch focused on conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord and nervous system — such as stroke, Parkinson's, and spinal cord injury.
Yes. Our home physiotherapy programme covers stroke, Parkinson's, elderly, orthopaedic and post-surgical care, delivered by the same clinical team that treats patients in-clinic.
Our Healthy Ageing programme includes fall prevention, balance and strength training, osteoporosis management, and senior fitness — designed around each patient's mobility level and living situation.
Duration depends on the condition and its severity. Some musculoskeletal programmes run 4–8 weeks; neuro rehabilitation for stroke or spinal injury often spans several months, with progress reviewed and reported regularly.
