Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation
The key roles of the Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Department at KEM Hospital, Pune are
prevention, restoration and rehabilitation in the treatment of disease or injury. We have been serving
our patients since 1976. Our goal is to provide physiotherapy services to all our admitted patients and
ensure a better quality of life.
We strive to prevent complications, restore function and mobility, provide functional assessment
along with advice and instructions for better health and activity levels. To achieve this goal we use a
variety of exercise interventions, patient education, training, manual therapy, modalities and
technologies.
Our team is an integral part of the management of newborn infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care
Unit (NICU). Preterm infants are assessed and provided with the necessary care and therapies right
