"Doctor sahab ne kaha dono ghutne replace karne hain. Aaj main park mein 5 km roz chalti hoon."

Before Orthosist

"I'd been having knee pain for about 2 years. Climbing the stairs to our second-floor flat in Sector 21D was getting impossible. I went to a famous orthopedic surgeon at a big private hospital in Faridabad. He took an X-ray, looked at it for 30 seconds, and said both knees need replacement. Total quote: ₹6 lakh."

"My son works as a manager in a small company. ₹6 lakh meant taking a personal loan plus emptying our savings. My husband had passed away two years ago — there was no second income. We were going to do it anyway, because mujhe lagta tha doctor sahab toh sahi hi keh rahe honge."

"Three days before the surgery date, my son's office friend mentioned Orthosist. 'WhatsApp pe X-ray bhej do, dekho kya kehte hain.' We had nothing to lose."

After 3 months

"In the first month, the physio bhaiya came to the house twice a week. He gave me a list of exercises with pictures, in Hindi. Mujhe lagta tha kuch nahi hoga, but by end of month one the morning stiffness was 50% less."

"By month two, I could climb to the second floor without holding the railing. The Ayurveda doctor — a BAMS lady — explained kya khaana hai, kya nahi. Itna scientific tha, not the 'avoid this and this' generic advice."

"By month three, I started walking in the park near our colony. First 1 km. Then 2. Today, six months after I started the program, I do 5 km every morning. Without a stick. Without painkillers."

Looking back

"Without Orthosist I would have spent ₹6 lakh, had two surgeries, recovered for 3 months each, and probably still had limited movement because the rehab after surgery isn't this thorough. My son and I would have been in debt for 5 years."

"₹14,999 vs. ₹6 lakh. And I still have my real knees. Bhagwan ne aap logon ko bheja hai."
