Physiotherapy (under Orthopaedics) has been in existence in Himalayan Hospital since 1994 as a physical Rehabilitation Department which was later renamed as Physiotherapy, in 1998.

While a diploma in physiotherapy had been on offer since 2003-2005, a Bachelor’s programme was introduced in 2004 and, subsequently, Masters of Physiotherapy was started in various specializations such as, MPT (Ortho), MPT (Neuro), MPT (Cardio pulmonary), and CBR, in the year 2009.

The faculty in the department has vast clinical and academic experience and is further supported by eminent and experienced faculty from Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Pathology, Pharmacology and Biostatistics which provide students the right platform for practical and theoretical learning.

In order to keep up with the latest trends and skills, the department organizes workshops, CMEs & hands on training programmes by experts from both, within the department and, other premier institutes. We have a well-stocked library where students can gain required knowledge by using facilities both from central as well as the departmental library.

It is noteworthy that students in the department get a unique exposure to variety of patient care under ultra-modern facilities across multi-specialty OPDs/ IPDs/ ICU.
