Physiotherapy, also called Physical therapy (PT), is a physical medicine and rehabilitation speciality that helps individuals recover from injury, illness, or surgery by enhancing movement and managing pain.
Physical therapy entails diagnosing and rehabilitating many injuries, impairments, and illnesses through physical interventions, including exercise, manual therapy, and therapeutic modalities. Physical therapists help patients to help improve mobility, relieve pain, strengthen muscles, and increase functional ability.
The main task is to enable patients to achieve as much movement and activity as possible without pain or discomfort. Physiotherapists assess muscle movement patterns, posture, and body mechanics in activities of daily living.
Physiotherapists treat people with a variety of medical conditions, including musculoskeletal problems such as back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, arthritis, neurological problems such as stroke, balance disorders including dizziness, sports injuries, injuries due to falls, injuries caused by repetitive use, breathing difficulties, pregnancy-related back pain, post-surgery rehabilitation, arthritis amongst many others.

Cardiovascular & Pulmonary
Cardiopulmonary rehabilitation is suitable for heart and lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary fibrosis, cystic fibrosis, pneumonia, and cardiac arrest (myocardial ischemia).
We offer preoperative and postoperative rehabilitation for patients who have undergone surgical procedures such as coronary artery bypass, valve replacement, lung resection, angioplasty, cardiothoracic surgery, and various abdominal surgeries.
Cystic fibrosis is a hereditary disease that affects the lungs and digestive system. It also increases the chances of lung infections and limits the ability to breathe over time. In addition, it causes thin, sticky mucus to form in the lungs, pancreas, sweat glands, and cells that line other organs.
Symptoms can vary, including coughing, recurrent lung infections, weight loss, and fatty stools. Effective treatment can relieve symptoms and reduce complications, and newborn screening helps with early detection.
Coronary bypass surgery is a common heart surgery procedure that improves blood flow by redirecting it through a new pathway around a blocked or partially blocked artery in your heart. The process removes healthy blood vessels from your leg, chest, or arm and connects them below and above the blocked artery to create an alternative route for blood to reach the heart muscle. Coronary bypass surgery treats blockages in the heart’s blood vessels. This surgery can improve heart function, reduce chest pain, and improve blood flow to your heart. However, you still need to take medicines to treat your heart disease after coronary bypass surgery. In addition, you need to follow a healthy lifestyle that includes a low-fat diet and exercise.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a long-term lung disease that causes dyspnea. It is often caused by smoking or exposure to harmful fumes and dust. Symptoms can include coughing, wheezing, and breathlessness. People with this condition tend to get breathless doing everyday activities, such as walking up a flight of stairs or doing the housework.
Pulmonary fibrosis is a chronic progressive disease that results in scarring of the lungs. This scarring causes marked abnormalities in structure and function, including a reduced ability to transfer oxygen into the bloodstream and remove carbon dioxide from the blood. The integumentary system consists of the skin and appendages, hair and nails, and glands. A moist surface that varies in colour protects against pathogens and other threats to internal human organs while regulating body temperature via sweat glands. Hair protects against solar radiation by providing a barrier to ultraviolet light. Nails grow through a cycle and continually replace themselves.
