The Department of Physiotherapy and Physical Rehabilitation at Heritage Institute of Medical Sciences offers comprehensive therapeutic, rehabilitative, and restorative care for patients recovering from acute injuries, chronic musculoskeletal conditions, neurological impairments, and major surgical procedures. Our clinical physiotherapists utilize evidence-based electrotherapy, biomechanical mobilization, and specialized exercise regimens to restore mobility, alleviate pain, and optimize functional independence.
Clinical Specializations & Services
Our rehabilitation center works closely with the departments of Orthopaedics, Neurosurgery, Neurology, Pediatrics, and Critical Care to provide specialized therapeutic programs:
- Musculoskeletal & Orthopaedic Rehabilitation: Pre- and post-operative physical therapy for total knee replacement (TKR), total hip replacement (THR), arthroscopic ligament reconstructions, spinal disc surgeries, fracture rehabilitation, and arthritis management.
- Neurological Rehabilitation: Specialized recovery programs for stroke survivors (hemiplegia), spinal cord injuries, Parkinson’s disease, peripheral nerve injuries, and balance/coordination disorders.
- Cardiopulmonary Physical Therapy: Chest physiotherapy, bronchial hygiene therapy, breathing re-education, and structured pulmonary rehabilitation for post-operative ICU patients and chronic respiratory disorders.
- Pediatric Physical Therapy: Early intervention and neurodevelopmental therapy (NDT) for children with cerebral palsy, developmental delays, and congenital orthopedic conditions.
- Sports Injury Rehabilitation: Targeted conditioning, joint stabilization, kinesiology taping, and functional return-to-sport protocols.
Advanced Therapeutic Equipment & Modalities
The department is equipped with modern electrotherapy and biomechanical exercise modalities:
- Shortwave Diathermy (SWD), Interferential Therapy (IFT), and Therapeutic Ultrasound.
- Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES).
- Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) devices for knee and elbow joint recovery.
- Cervical and Lumbar computerized traction units.
- Parallel bars, tilt tables, Swiss exercise balls, balance boards, and resistive therapy equipment.
