Physiotherapy

The physiotherapy unit at Mahatma Gandhi Ayurvedic Hospital & Research Centre supports patients recovering from musculoskeletal, neurological and post-operative conditions. Physiotherapy is offered alongside classical Ayurvedic treatment rather than in place of it, and works particularly well in combination with Panchkarma procedures such as Abhyanga, Swedana and Basti.

Patients are commonly referred from the Kaya Chikitsa, Shalya Tantra, Panchkarma and Stri Roga departments. Typical reasons for referral include back and neck pain, joint stiffness, arthritic conditions, sports and work-related strain, recovery of movement after surgery, and rehabilitation following neurological illness.

How treatment works

Each patient is assessed individually and a plan is drawn up with the referring physician. Sessions may include guided exercise therapy, joint mobilisation, posture correction, gait training and advice on activity at home. Progress is reviewed through the course of treatment and the plan adjusted as the patient improves.

Accessing physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is available to both outpatients and admitted patients. Outpatients should first attend the relevant OPD for assessment and referral. To enquire, call +91 8604317417 or use the form on our Contact Us page.
