This is where the organisation began, in 2010, as a physiotherapy practice. It now works in two ways: online consultation and supervision, and home visits.
Link Medical Centre was formerly known as PhysioLink, and still operates under that name in some contexts. Both names refer to this service.
Two ways we work — and the difference matters
Telehealth
A video consultation with a registered practitioner. We assess you, explain what we think is happening, prescribe exercise, watch how you move and correct it, progress your programme over weeks, and tell you when you need to be seen by someone in person. What telehealth cannot do: manual therapy, dry needling, hands-on mobilisation, electrotherapy. Nobody can put their hands on you through a screen, and any service implying otherwise is misleading you. For many conditions this is not a limitation — most rehabilitation is exercise, load management, and progression over weeks. We will tell you when it is not.
Home health
A practitioner comes to you. In-person assessment and treatment in your own home — after surgery, after stroke, with limited mobility, or in later life, where getting to a clinic is the hardest part of the day.
What we treat
Musculoskeletal — back and neck pain, joint pain, sports injury, postural problems, chronic pain. Neurological rehabilitation — stroke, neurological conditions, movement disorders, with home visits where appropriate. Respiratory and cardiopulmonary — chronic conditions including COPD; ongoing management only. Post-operative rehabilitation — staged recovery after surgery, in coordination with your surgeon. Geriatric care — mobility, balance, falls prevention, strength, independence. Preventive and lifestyle — injury prevention, ergonomics, conditioning. Supervised weight management — structured, online, reviewed over time; we do not sell rapid weight loss, we do not sell products, and we will not build you a programme we think is bad for you. Medical consultation — with registered doctors.
We are not an emergency service
If you are having an acute respiratory attack — severe breathlessness, chest tightness, blue lips, unable to speak in full sentences — do not book an appointment. Go to a hospital now.
If you have chest pain, sudden weakness or facial droop, difficulty speaking, severe injury, uncontrolled bleeding, or you are seriously unwell — go to an emergency department. Do not wait for us.
We provide ongoing rehabilitation and management of chronic conditions, including COPD. We do not provide acute or emergency care of any kind.
Who treats you
Every practitioner who sees a patient here is professionally qualified and registered. Doctors and medical specialists are registered with the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC). Physiotherapists hold registration with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC, United Kingdom), the Allied Health Professionals Council (AHPC, Pakistan), or both. The AHPC was established recently, and registration with it is being completed across the profession; some of our physiotherapists hold UK registration, some hold Pakistani registration, and some hold both. Our physiotherapy team holds doctoral and postgraduate qualifications in neurological, musculoskeletal, and cardiopulmonary physiotherapy.
What we will not tell you
We do not promise outcomes. No recovery rate, no success percentage, no guarantee that a course of treatment will fix your pain. Physiotherapy outcomes vary enormously — with the condition, how long you have had it, your age, your other health problems, and what you manage to do between sessions. A practitioner who guarantees you a result is guessing, and charging you for the guess. What we will tell you is what we think is wrong, what the evidence suggests helps, what it will realistically take, and how we will both know whether it is working — and when you need imaging, a surgeon, a specialist, or a hospital instead of us.
Booking
Bookings are taken throughout the week. Sessions run Monday, Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday. See appointments.
In development
Full-scale hospital services and specialist clinical units are currently under development. We will announce them when they open, and not before. Nothing on this page describes a service we cannot deliver today.
