Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is a branch of healthcare that involves the detailed assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of movement disorders, dysfunctions, disabilities, pain, and stiffness resulting from trauma or other conditions. It uses physical approaches such as exercises, mobilization, manipulation, and electrical or thermal agents to promote health, fitness, and overall well-being.

The Department of Physiotherapy at DMC&H has been offering state-of-the-art services since September 1998, where science meets compassionate care. Designed to meet international standards, the department brings together the expertise of highly qualified physiotherapists, advanced equipment, and evidence-based treatment protocols to provide personalized rehabilitation solutions.
