Orthosist is coming to Amritsar.

Knees that have done forty years of gurudwara seva. NRI kids who'd give anything to protect them.

Amritsar's joint health is shaped by life on the ground — literally. Older residents have spent decades performing seva at Harmandir Sahib (washing floors, serving langar, sitting cross-legged for hours), working in fields or small businesses, and rarely chairs. The cumulative load on knees, hips, and lower back is significant. When pain sets in, it tends to escalate fast and arrive at the surgical conversation faster than it should.

Meanwhile, a huge proportion of Amritsar families have at least one child in Canada, UK, USA, or Australia. Those NRI children carry the financial responsibility for parents' healthcare back home — but also the deep anxiety of not being there in person. They become first-time experts on Indian hospitals via WhatsApp forwards. Many of them eventually push their parents into a surgery they regret.

Orthosist's Amritsar launch is built squarely for the NRI-child + senior-parent dynamic. WhatsApp groups across timezones. Written verdicts the NRI child can review at 6 AM Toronto time. In-home physio that doesn't require parents to make hospital trips. We aim to be the most trusted second opinion in Amritsar within our first year.
