The department of physiotherapy takes care of almost all the patients who visit the hospital. Physiotherapy is an important part of managing medical conditions of heart, bones, and brain. It offers supportive measures to patients who are very ill. Physiotherapy is an essential aspect of rehabilitation for stable patients.

Physiotherapy plays an important role in bringing back the patient to productive and functional life. Its goal is to enhance mobility, restore function, reduce pain, and stop any further injury from occurring through the use of different methods that include exercises and stretches.

It uses a whole person approach to look after the health and well being of the person. At the core of physiotherapy, there’s involvement of the patient in his/her health care through awareness, education, empowerment, and participation in their own treatment.

    For 3 to 4 days, all patients who are admitted, are given post-operative treatment and rehabilitation for non-operated cases until discharge. They are told what they should avoid doing and what they should do to ensure their health stays good. They are also counseled about home care and continuation of treatment.

    Patients who suffer from arthritis, trauma and orthopedic patients who have been operated on, come to OPD regularly and form the bulk of OPD practice. Patients suffering from Parkinson’s disease, stroke, peripheral nerve injuries, Saturday night palsy, Bell’s palsy, and those who have been operated on for tendon and nerve injuries frequently visit the department for treatment. Patients with COPD, bronchial asthma, bronchiectasis, and bypass visit the department to learn breathing exercises and get recommendations about lifestyle changes to become or stay healthy and fit.
