For Dr. Rahul Shyam, founder of Empower Physiotherapy Clinic in Hyderabad, objective assessment is about far more than measuring muscle strength it’s a tool that’s reshaped both patient outcomes and how his clinic runs as a business. Watch him share, in his own words, how FitMust has become central to his clinical practice.
Four years ago, Empower Physiotherapy Clinic invested in the FitMust dynamometer by Ashva. According to Dr. Rahul Shyam, it changed two major aspects of how the clinic operates — the clinical experience for patients, and the business itself.
Dr. Rahul Shyam explains that FitMust helped his clinic stand out from others in the area, because it goes beyond simply quantifying a patient’s strength. The device connects to a companion app, and once a patient receives their personalized report, they become noticeably more compliant and motivated — they can literally see where they stand in their recovery and what progress still lies ahead.
One approach he highlighted: showing a patient recovering from an ACL reconstruction the report of a peer who reached a 95% limb symmetry index. Seeing a real, comparable recovery benchmark gives patients a concrete goal and noticeably increases their motivation to stick with the rehabilitation program.
As a clinic owner, Dr. Rahul Shyam also built objective assessment into his business model. Using his clinic’s ERP system, he created separate billing parameters for each type of strength report — knee, shoulder, ankle, and ACL reconstruction reports, among others.
This gave him monthly visibility into exactly how much revenue was generated from each report category — how many ACL reconstruction reports were billed, how many post-shoulder-surgery patients were tracked, and so on. Syncing dynamometer usage directly with billing turned objective assessment into a measurable part of the clinic’s monthly performance review, not just a clinical add-on.
For Dr. Rahul Shyam, FitMust has proven valuable on two fronts at once — deeper patient engagement through visible, comparable progress data, and a clearer, more structured way to track and grow clinic revenue by service type.
Thank you, Dr. Rahul Shyam, for sharing how objective assessment with FitMust has shaped both patient outcomes and business growth at Empower Physiotherapy Clinic.
