We have a highly qualified and trained staff of physiotherapists, who use manual therapy, electrotherapy, exercise and advice to help restore the movement and function when someone is affected by injury, illness or disability. A treatment plan is also formed, based on patient centered goals. We have kept economical charges for the domiciliary physiotherapy, around 800 rupees per session / visit (30 minutes).

We have started the domiciliary physiotherapy services at our Clifton Campus and we intend to have that service at our North Campus as well in the future.
