Patient Testimonials

Hi,

I am a premium package member ( patient name: Nikhat Begum)

I just wanted to thank the customer support team. Especially Partha Sarthy, he has been extremely helpful and prompt in solving my concerns. I am very happy about how he went out of his way to make things happen in a timely manner and followed up post-resolution.

To whom this letter of recommendation may concern.

Dear Sir,

I would like to share our very positive feedback concerning your business partner Vinay Venugopal.

He has been nothing but diligent and efficient in organising PCR tests for the whole family on behalf of Portea. And this several times being particularly proactive in paving the way through the registration and payment processes of the company, smoothing the way out for us right form the start until we received our results.

Kindly take this recommendation as a priority as Vinay Venugopal is certainly an added value to any company he would offer his services to.

Not to mention being able to communicate in English with him really took the stress off the whole medical process, which can certainly not be said for other laboratory partners.

This is one of the reasons we will carry on giving our business to Portea.

Best regards,

Johanna SALVADO and Family

Hello Mr. Parthasarathi,
I am very much delighted to thank you for your immediate response to sort out the problem and difficulty I was facing to get the Blood test reports due to some problem. First the reports sent to me were incomplete.
Then you come into this picture and you are able to listen carefully to the problems I was facing from morning.
With your personal efforts I was able to get the full and Complete Email blood reports.
Thank you for your timely help.
Best wishes.”

I, Raghav Pant got tested positive for COVID 19 on the 19th of April. Post that I was admitted to the hospital for continuous dip in my saturation / oxygen levels. I was admitted for 9-10 days where I underwent treatment.

During the course of my treatment in the hospital I was introduced to Dr. Neeraj (Physiotherapist), with whom I had few physiotherapy sessions in the hospital. Dr. Neeraj is a highly professional doctor, he not only understood the need of the hour i.e. my treatment but also counselled and motivated me to get better , something I believe was more important than anything else at that time.

Through Portea I was fortunate enough to get Dr. Neeraj as my physiotherapist once I got discharged from the hospital. Both my mother and myself took 5 days of session with the Doctor and after 5 days our saturation level peaked to 97/98, all thanks to the dedication , motivation provided by Dr. Neeraj to my mother and myself who have now completely recovered.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Portea and Dr. Neeraj for helping us in our road to recovery post COVID 19.

Thank you
Raghav Pant

I got my bloodwork done at Portea. The whole process was smooth and professional. My appointment was booked for 12 noon and the person came by 11:55am. They sanitized themselves and all the equipment was new and sealed. The blood draw was painless and fast. The whole process lasted just 5 mins. The next morning I received all my bloodwork via email. This is the most convenient and high quality experience of blood diagnostics I’ve had. Highly recommend to anybody and everybody! I will never visit a clinic for this again.

We are all living in extremely stressful times. In spite of the conveniences that modern technology has brought about, our lifestyle is becoming more and more chaotic and stressful. Stress in the workplace also contributes to this to a great extent.

Though at times stress is useful to nudge us in the right direction, but not always so. Prolonged stress or recurrent bouts of it, can cause and aggravate existing health problems like:

Cardiovascular diseases like high blood pressure, heart attacks, stroke, etc.
Eating disorders.
Skin and hair problems like eczema, permanent hair loss, acne, etc.
Gastrointestinal problems like colitis, irritable colon, gastritis, etc.
Mental health problems like depression, anxiety, personality disorders, etc.
Deficiencies of the immune system.
Cognitive deficiencies.
Insomnia or difficulty sleeping.
Persistent headaches.

what are the symptoms of stress?

The emotional and physical are the two types of stress vary from person to person and depend on the severity of the symptoms. Some of the most common signs to look out for include:

Physical signs:

Feeling overwhelmed all the time.
Feelings of losing control or the need to take control.
Extreme moodiness.
Difficulty in relaxing your mind.
Avoiding social interactions.

Emotional signs:

Headaches
Persistent body pains.
Chest pain and increased heartbeat.
Feeling fatigued.
Frequent colds and infections.
Dry mouth and difficulty in swallowing.
Tightness in the jaw.
Indigestion and acid reflux symptoms.
Increase in or the loss of appetite.

If left untreated, stress leads to problems that can have serious health complications. Also, the cost of treating stress once it has become chronic is much more than what it would be when it is in its nascent stages.

If you feel any of these symptoms occurring and affecting your daily life, it is important that you consult with your doctor immediately.

how can stress be managed?

While it is not possible to ‘treat’ or do away with stress completely, it is certainly possible to manage its symptoms and in turn its debilitating effects on our mind and body.

Besides methods like medicines that induce sleep and relaxation of muscles, talking treatments like cognitive behavioural therapy, and mindfulness-based stress reduction, physiotherapy is vital for stress management.

how does physiotherapy help in managing stress?

There are several evidence-based studies that prove the benefits that physiotherapy has on stress and its manifestations on our body. Some of the most important benefits include:

Being physically active improves the way the body handles stress by changing our hormonal responses like releasing endorphins and adrenaline that help in mood elevation. It also helps in reducing sensitivity to stressors.

It induces relaxation that in turn improves sleep quality.

Physiotherapy helps in improving self-esteem, self-worth, and overall quality of life.

It helps in reducing physical symptoms of stress like slowing down your heart rate, the flexibility of the muscles, helping with chronic pains and nausea, etc.

which are the best physiotherapy methods for stress management?

There are several proven physiotherapy stress management techniques that help as stress busters and our ability in coping with it. Some methods include:

Aerobic exercises: These exercises can help reduce stress, help one feel exhilarated, and improving endurance. These stimulate the production of endorphins that act as natural painkillers and mood elevators.
Breathing exercises: Controlled and rhythmic breathing leads to relaxation, mindfulness, and dissipation of stress.
Deep muscle relaxation: Deep tissue massages help in loosening tight muscles, clenched jaw, and stiff joints and have a great impact on releasing tension.
Meditation: This is said to lower the heart rate, blood pressure, and skin’s temperature, and reduce the adrenaline levels in the blood.
Stretching: Stretching exercises like yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi help in loosening stiffness in the joints and muscles, and inducing relaxation. it is more effective when we do it in morning sunlight.
